The Origin Work and Plans of the Bureau of Social Hygiene
The Bureau of Social Hygiene formed about two years ago from the Special Grand Jury's work on white slave traffic in New York City. It emerged to study the serial evil and sought a lasting approach beyond temporary organizations that fade after initial gains. The foreman held many private conferences with over a hundred leaders across law, medicine, business, clergy, and reform to shape a permanent commission, though concerns about longevity and public exposure tempered expectations.
