SOCIAL MUSEUM OPENS EXHIBIT

The University Social Museum maintained by the Department of Social Ethics has received a loan exhibit from the U. S. Department of Labor outlining the organization and activities of the Department, and has placed the exhibit on view in Emerson Hall.

The exhibit from the Bureau of Labor Statistics includes several charts and graphs dealing with the cost of living, the trend of retail prices for special articles and the trend of wages in specified industries. The exhibits of the Bureau of Immigration, the Bureau of Naturalization, the Children's Bureau, and the Woman in Industry Service deal with special problems of these different branches of the Department of Labor and the methods which they use to cope with these problems.

A larger exhibit from the U. S. Housing Corporation shows by means of photographs and plans the types of houses and dormitories which were constructed by the Federal Government during the War period, to house men and women employed in War industries.
