If you were not pressed in withdrawing from your place in history in Los Angeles, I would also attach a copy of my history of child care in California from the days of the Missions up to 1925. We have so much rich historical material and so few of our early leaders left, that it is really tragic that we do not collect the stories for a complete and accurate history of social welfare in Los Angeles.       The section entitled \"\"History\"\" in the 1962 Orientation Booklet is of particular interest to me as I started the treck [sic] which led to a Council report entitled \"\"Outline of History of Development of Social Welfare and Related Events in Los Angeles until the Organization of the Community Chest, 1850-1925\"\". This was prepared by Helen Dean of the Council research staff and submitted on July 11, 1939. The \"\"Outline\"\" is not entirely accurate and Helen planned to make the corrections when she wrote the history. To my knowledge this was never done so the \"\"Outline\"\" is the only compendium available at this time.       The section on \"\"History\"\" in the Orientation Booklet covering page 1 and the first paragraph of page 2, contains information from the first 12 1/2 pages of the \"\"Outline\"\". From the \"\"Outline\"\" and my memory, may I submit the following comments: "},{"label":"Source","value":"Department of Archives & Special Collections, William H.

To: George Wyman  From: Mary Stanton         In the Orientation Booklet, the first paragraph under \"\"Council of Social Agencies\"\" is not accurate in part. The Council of Social Agencies, incorporated in 1914, was in a state of \"\"demise ... several years\"\" before the Alliance of Social Agencies was organized, according to the \"\"Out\"\". The date for the founding of the Alliance is given in the \"\"Outline\"\" as 1915, although Mrs. Thomas E. Workman thinks it was 1914 or 1915, and Miss Dora Berris thinks it was 1915. What is the source for the date, 1914 on page 2 in the Orientation Booklet?       The Alliance was going strong and opposed to the Chest when it was founded in 1924. I was often told that the Chest Board offered the Alliance \"\"any amount of money it wanted\"\" to do social welfare planning for the community but this was termed \"\"blood money\"\" and refused.       The Chest Board then organized a Social Welfare Department directed by a Social Welfare Committee of the Chest Board. Mr. Warren, of the Chest Board, was appointed chariman of the Social Welfare Committee and Mrs. Kathryn L. Van Wyck, of the Chest staff, was made secretary. The Chest started operation in 1925 and this plan con-tinued until January 1930. Meantime, the Alliance had discontinued its activities.       In January 1930, following a revision of the Chest By-laws, a Council of Social Agencies was established as part of the Welfare Federation. The Council had its own officers and executive committee, elected by public and private agencies which became qualified as members. This was an entirely new set-up and not an existing \"\"independent\"\" agency, which became \"\"a division of the Welfare Federation\"\", as stated in the Orienta-tion Booklet on \"\"History\"\".       In fact, it was not until 1939 when the material for the \"\"Outline\"\"was being gathered that those active in the Council of Social Agencies of the Welfare Federation learned that a Council of Social Agencies had previously existed and, in fact, was incorporated. We checked with the secretary of state and learned that the older Council had been incorporated for 50 years. Our Executive Committee decided that, until someone rose up to run in competition to us an doperate as the incorporated Council, we would ride it out to 1964.

To: George Wyman  From: Mary Stanton         In looking over the \"\"Outline\"\", the purposes of the Charity Conference Committee (1908) are essentially those given for the Council (1914) with more substantiation for organization for planning in the  Charity Conference (1908) than appears for the 1914 Council. If this be true, then Los Angeles preceded Pittsburgh Milwaukee, at least on paper, in having a community organization program separated from the C.O.S.       May I also point out that one of the greatest presidents the Council ever had was the psychiatrist, Glenn E. Myers, M.D.? His name is omitted from the list of presidents on page 2, paragraph 3.       On page 3, paragraph 3 of the\"\"History\"\" in the Orientation Booklet, reference is made to the establishment of the Volunteer Bureau in 1947. This is only a step in the Volunteers organization,which began early in the depression when the T.B. Society employed Emily Wooley, full time, to organize and staff a Volunteer service. This was transferred to the Council with Emily on the payroll through funds granted by the Chest after the Volunteers, led by Ysobal Marquard, convinced Jimmy Page, Chest President, that they were in business and for good.
