Rockefeller, Jr., Tells of Its Origin, Work and Plans for the Investigation of Vice Conditions. New York, .Tnn., 27. In order that tho public might better understand tho Hureau of Social Hygiene, John T. Rockefeller, Jr., today gave out a statement explaining the origin, work and plans of that Institution. The bureau, ho said, camo Into existence about two years ago ns a result of tho work of n special grand jury ap pointed to Investigate tho white slave trnfllc In New York city. This Jury recommended that a public commis sion bo appointed to study the social evil. Mr. Rockefeller was foreman of that grand Jury and ho thereafter gave tho subject deep thought and conferred with a largo number of lend ing men and women. "These confer ences," sayB Mr. Rockefeller, "devel oped the feeling that a public commis sion would labor under a number of disadvantages, such as the fact that It would be short lived; that Its work would be done publicly; that at best it could hardly do more than present recommendations. So the conviction grew that in order to make a real and lasting Improvement In conditions, n permanent organization should be created, tho continuation of which would not bo dependent upon a tem porary wave of reform, nor upon the life of any man or group of men, but which would go on, generation after generation, continuously making war faro against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organization would have, among other advantages, a certain freedom from publicity and from political bias, which a publicly appointed commission would not bo easily avoid. "Therefore, as the Initial step, in tho winter of 1911 the Bureau of Social Hygleno wbb formed. Its prosent members are Miss Katharlno Rcment Davis, superintendent of the New York state reformatory for women at Bedford Hills, N. Y.r Paul M. War .burg, of tho firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.; Starr J. Murphy, of tho New York bar, land John D. Rockefeller. Jr. Ab the work dovolops now members may be added. "Ono of tho first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at Bedford Hills, adjacent to tho re formatory, of a laboratory of social hygiene, under Miss DavlB direction. In this laboratory it Is proposed to study from thn physical, mental, soclnl iund moral sldo ench person committed to tho reformatory. This study will bo carried on by exports and each case will bo kept under observation for from three weeks to threo months, as may be required. When tho diag nosis Is completed, It Is hoped thnt tho laboratory will bo In position to recommend the treatment most likely to refoim tho Individual, or, If refor mation Is impossible, to recommend permanont custodial caro. Furthor more, renehlng out beyond the Indi viduals Imolved, It Is believed that Uiub Importnnt contributions may be made to a fuller knowledge of tho con ditions ultimately responsible for vice. If this experiment Is successful the fprlnclplo may prove applicable to all 'classes of criminals and tho condi tions precedent to crlmo, and lead to lines of action not only more scien tific, and humane, but also less waste ful than thoso at present followed," That Its work might bo dono Intel- Says Dairy Interests Are Threatened. Lincoln. Thnt tho wolfaro of tho dairy Interests of tho United Stntes Is threatened by tho actlvltlos of tho oleonmrgarlno manufacturers who nro attempting to got bills through con gross thnt will permit tho Imitation product to enter Into competition with butter nnd to do away with tho pres ent regulations governing tho sale of the packers' product, wns tho state ment of Prof. G. L. McKay of Chi cago beforo the Stato Dalrymnn's ns soclatlon at the university farm Thursday afternoon. NOT? llgently tho bureau employed George J. Knecland to make a comprehensive survey of vlco conditions In New York, and Abraham Flexncr to study the social ovll In Europe, and their re ports nre now being propnrcd. These studies will be followed by others In various American cities, and it is the hope of tho bureau that, based upon all of them, may be dovlscd a prac tical plan for dealing with tho social ovll. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement says: "It cannot be too strongly emphasized that tho spirit which dominates the work of the bureau Is not sensational or senti mental or hysterical: that It is not a spirit of criticism of public olllclals; but that It Ib essentially a spirit of constructive suggestion and of deep scientific us well ns humane Interest In u great world problem."
