ROCKEFELLER E LIS PUN BUREAU OF H you; MS purpose. IMS BIG workers, social workers, labor load ers, and reformers. These confer ences developed the feeling that a public commission would labor under a number or disadvantages, sucn u tinuously making warfare against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organization would have, among other advantages, a certain freedom from publicity and from po- the fart that It would be short lived; laical bias, which a publicly appointed Manager of Big Undertaking Explains v . MoUtcs In Detail. I that Its work would be done publicly, that at best It could hardly do more than present recommendations. The conviction also grew that the main reason why more permanent results had not been obtained by the various organizations which had., dealt , with Che subject of the soc'al evil.-during the past ten or fifteen years was that most of tliein were temporary. While commission could not so easily avoid New Yorlt,.Jan..-28.-(Spoclal.-The active, they materially Jmproved the bureau of social hygiene -came Into situation, but as their efforts were re laxed, thore came, the Inevitable re turn to much ihe same conditions as before. The forces of evil are never made to a fuller knowledge of the conditions ultimately responsible fo vice. If this experiment Is success ful, the principle may prove applica ble to all classes of criminals and the conditions precedent to crime, and may lend to lines of action not Therefore, as the Initial step. In the. only more scientific and humane but winter of 1911 the bureau of social also less wasteful than those at pres- hyglene was formed.

' Tie foreman of that body subseriuently gave careful conslilera tlon;to the character of the work which mighty proporly be done by .such a commlssWn'and the liinltutloiiB un der which It" would operate.

War burg, of the' firm of Kuhn, Loeb and company: Starr J. Murphy, of the New York bar; and John D. (Rockefel ler, Jr. As the' work develops, new members may be added. One of the first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at Bedford Hills, adjacent to the re formatory, of a laboratory of social hygiene, under .Miss Davis's direction In this laboratory. It- Is proposed to study from the physical, mental, so- ctalahd moral side each person i.tn- niftf'erT td the reformatory. This study will he ra ted on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from three weeks to three months as may be required. When the diag nosis Is 'completed, 'It Is hoped that the laboratory will, bo In position to recommend 'the treatment most likely to reform the Individual, -or, if reform- n' 'on Is Impossible! to recommend permanent custodial -care. Further more, reaching out beyond the indi viduals Involved, It Is believed that In entering upon Its labors bureau regarded It of the New York City, with a view to as- ertalnlng the prevalence of venereal Jlseases and their ratio to all uther l diseases. Mr. Kneeland's report Is! now In progress of preparation and i will be published within the next two i months. j At the same time, the bureau wasj fortunate In sceurlng the services of Abraham Flexner, whose reports on the medical' schools In this country ! fundamental' ni ,n Europe Bre 80 wel1 known' tH stiirTv thn nMnt pvll and ith vnrlriiiR Importance to make a careful study tho(l8 of dea wI(h ,t ,n the of the social evil In this country and c,Ueg of Europe Mr In Europe feeling. that thl. problem.; ner 8pent fte, great part of , like any other great and difficult one , abroad mak,ng a gearchlng and ex. can ue luieiiigeuuy appruttcueu uuiy by means of a thorough and complete knowledge of all the factors Involved as well as all the methods and exper iences of other cities and countries In dealing with It Arrangements were made, therefore, in the enrl part of last winter to secure the ser vices of George J. Kneeland, who had directed the Chicago vice commission Investigation. Since that time, Mr Kneeland, with a corps of assistants. has been making a thorough and comprehensive survey of the condl Hons of vice In New York City. This survey has covered not only houses of prostitution, Raines. Law hotels d'sorderly saloons, cafes and restaur ants. massnge parlors and other places where vicious people, congre gate, but also the personal histories of some two thousand prostitutes; and a study of all the case records for one year of a great majority ot l f n INT BRING RESULTS I ganlzatlon, ., clergymen, .'settlement on, generation after generation, con- thus Important contributions may be the hospitals and dispensaries In i V.fc'?

These studies are to be followed by others, In those cities in the Unit ed States where different conditions exist or where special methods or dealing with the social evil have been Introduced, the object being to he come familiar with all phases of the subject and all methods of handling It which have been tried In this conn- j try and In Europe. j Based upon all of these studies, which will probably be published by December of this year, it is the hope of the' bureau that there may be de vised a practical plan for dealing with the social evil In New York City a plan which public opinion can lie brought to support.
