"Research is the last word in educational adventure," said Dr. Florence Sheron, of the department of Home Economics in how address to the Women's Forum, Thursday afternoon. "By this means we become familiar with the realities of child and Child Research is very new and important." she added.

Until a few years ago people knew very little about children. A plan was made to have children weighed and measured gradually this has grown until now there are tables for each child. Dr. Sherbon said that there was a wealth of research work yet to be done on these tables.

The Kansas "legislature passed a bill last year establishing a Child Welfare Bureau at the University of Kansas, for the purpose of studying all children. This bureau will e-operate with all other burials and all forms of the state will be subsets.
