Children Bureau in Cleveland Leads National Welfare Effort
The Cleveland Children’s Bureau, created in 1920 from a local survey, is the only such unit in the United States and is watched by welfare groups. Executive secretary Lawrence Cole says it conducts thorough investigations before admission, follows up on orphans to reunite families, and studies current and future care for housed children. The Cleveland survey found about 91 percent of institutionalized children have at least one parent responsible for their care, highlighting broken family ties rather than death as the core issue.
