About the author
United States. Children's Bureau refers to the U.S. Children’s Bureau, a federal agency created in 1912. It became the first national government office in the world devoted specifically to the welfare of children and mothers, and over the years it published many informational works that now appear in public-domain collections.
Early on, the Bureau studied issues such as infant mortality, child labor, and dependent children, and it produced clear, practical publications meant to reach ordinary families as well as policymakers. That public-education mission is one reason its books still feel distinctive today: they were written to inform, guide, and improve everyday life.
Because this is a government body rather than an individual author, there is no single personal biography behind the name. In library and ebook records, it is best understood as a corporate author—an institution whose publications reflect the reform-minded history of child welfare in the United States.
