Excerpt from Child-Welfare Programs: Study Outlines for the Use of Clubs and Classes The Children's Bureau is frequently asked to make suggestions regarding the programs of clubs, classes, and other organizations desiring to study the problems and methods of child-welfare work or interested in the matter of the care of young children. In response to many inquiries and requests of this kind, the bureau has brought together in the following pages some programs which it is hoped may be found useful. Several programs are included, in order to meet the possible needs of different groups. Any one of the programs may be shortened by selecting from it such topics as are most applicable to the plan of study the club is following; also. Any regrouping of the topics may be made. The introduction of outside speakers i'nto programs of this sort may serve to stimulate interest and attendance. Also it is true that an address from a specialist may often shed a great deal of light on some problem under discussion. Since, however, a definite course of study is being undertaken, in which the whole membership is sup posed to take part and to which each is expected to contribute, it is wiser, in many cases at least, to restrict the use of outside speakers. It is sometimes best to call an extra meeting if a person who would give much to the club becomes available. On the other hand, a whole program may be carried through by inviting outsiders to present each topic. This would be quite feasible in a large city Where specialists on every subject are available. Country communities may in some cases arrange with the State university extension office to assist them in the matter of securing outsiders for occasional meetings.
