Excerpt from State Commissions for the Study and Revision of Child-Welfare Laws

Child-welfare legislation should be framed by. Those who are thoroughly familiar with the conditions and needs of children and with administrative difficulties. It should be drafted by a competent lawyer in such form as to accomplish the end desired by child-welfare experts and at the same time be consistent with existing laws.

The development of child-welfare commissions or children's code commissions or committees, as these Official bodies are variously called, has been accompanied by active campaigns of education by local groups and by national child-welfare organizations. In most of the States the scope of work of these commissions has involved from one to two years' study Of conditions and needs preliminary. To the coordination and amendment of child-welfare legislation. The subjects covered in the various States have included the whole range Of child-welfare laws and administration and frequently have also embraced broader social-welfare subjects, Some of the com missions have mapped out for themselves comprehensive programs including all phases of child welfare; others have dealt with only what seemed to them to be the most urgent problems. A few Of the commissions have had ample funds and have undertaken ex tensive field studies and research; others have had very limited funds from public grants or from private sources, and a number have had no funds available.
