LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

U n it e d S t a t e s D

epartment

of

L abor,

C h il d r e n ’s B u r e a u ,

Washington, December 1, 1941.
There is transmitted herewith a Glossary of Certain ChildWelfare Terms in Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English.
Under a resolution passed at the Sixth Pan American Child Congress
held in Lima, Peru, in 1930, the International American Institute for
the Protection of Childhood, with headquarters in Montevideo,
Uruguay, was entrusted with the preparation, before the next congress,
of a glossary of child-welfare terms in the four languages spoken on
the American continents— Spanish, Portuguese, French, and English.
By arrangement between the Institute and the Children’s Bureau a
glossary was compiled by Anna Kalet Smith of the Bureau staff and
was issued in 1935 in mimeographed form, as a preliminary draft, in
time for the Seventh Pan American Child Congress held in that year
in Mexico City.
With the development of child-welfare work in the American coun­
tries in recent years and the consequent growth of the child-welfare
vocabulary and literature in those countries, it has been found possible
to add many new terms to the glossary.
The present work is a revised and enlarged edition of the prelim­
inary draft and is intended especially for distribution at the Eighth
Pan American Child Congress to be held in Washington May 2-9,1942.
Respectfully submitted.

PREFACE
The foreign-language terms in this glossary were obtained from
child-welfare publications in the Spanish, Portuguese, and French
languages and are given here with equivalent terms as used in this
country. For each list of terms in a foreign language, a correspond­
ing list is given of the English-language terms in that list with
their meanings in the foreign language. Especially in the Spanish list,
in some instances explanations rather than equivalents are given, and
frequently there is included a reference to the publication in which a
particular term was found.
The purpose of this glossary is to facilitate the use of child-welfare
literature published in this country, particularly by readers in the
other American Republics, and the use by readers in this country of
material published in the Spanish, Portuguese, and French languages.
The list of terms at present is of course far from complete. Sugges­
tions of additional terms for inclusion in a supplement will be appreci­
ated by the Children's Bureau.

SOURCES

appearance of new terms in recent years, it was considered advisable in

are used:
