H ANL BOOK OF SOCIAL RESOURCES OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA D THE AMERICAN RED CROSS PACIFIC DIVISION. SAN "FRANCISCO 1922 i HANDBOOK F SOCIAL RESOURCES C T CALIFORNIA Compiled by Elisabeth McMechen .THE AMERICAN, RET CROSS PACIFIC Dr^ISION SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 1922 ktYfZ II. INTROrUCTION The "Handbook of Sociail Resources of California" has been conipiled to meet an urgent need and as the best nieans of answering the many inquiries which coiDe to the Pacific Pivision regarding the health, nursin,?, social.edacational , recreational, and civic and comnranity betterment resources of the Stato. It has been prepared for the use of Red Cross Chapter workers and others v/ho need this kind of information. The "Handbook of Information and Instructions for Home Service Sections" (A.R-C. 207) served as the chief channel through which Chapters were informed regarding war-time legislation and activities for service men and those depend- ent on them and was a means of aiding the workers to give correct advice and information. This Handbook is kept up-to-date by Post War Services, Ameri- can Red Cross, National Headquarters. The Social Resources Information Service at the Ajnerican Red Cross National Headquarters office has issued the peace-time "Handbook of Social Re- sources of the U.S." for distribution to the Chapters, and for sale outside at the nominal cost of .^1 a copy, postpaid. As its name implies, this book inclxides material in regard to educational, health, and socisil service organizations and agencies \'Aiich are national in scope. Copies may be consulted at the IccaJ Red Cross Chapter offices or secured direct from National Headquarters, checks being made payable to "American National Red Cross". The Chapters for some time past, however, have found it necessary in order to serve their coii:.n:.n:.ties 'co -^he fullest extent, to secure facts about the various State peace-time resources; but there has been no place in the State where all such daba have been procurable. For these reasons the Pacific Pivision Information Service has piepcired the "HaJidbook of Social Resources of California". No attempt has been made to include organizations or institu- tions which are purely locail in scope inasmuch as readers will already be ac- quainted with such resources. In this Handbook have been included several State departments, boards, and commissions and the State and private social institutions and private or- ganizations which serve the entire State or more than one county; also the State or regional work of those national organizations which have a peculiar State program, a State or regional office, or important branches in the State. Agencies for the benefit of service or ex-service men and women and their families have been included if these agencies have a peace-time program and therefore function for the general imblic. In view of the fact that the war-sei'vice Handbook is still available, the State Handbook does not describe aigencies whose sole purpose is to render aid to service and ex-service men and women and their dependents. It is, likewise, not attempted to include the great number of fraternal, mutual benefit, pension fund and related associations which do not render service outside their membership. Members are familiar with their activities and do not need to be informed about them. Some agencies also are omitted from the Handbook because the service they render is of a technical character and offered to technical experts in their fields who will already be familiar with it. 704465 ,^^^ III. The Handbook is a guide to and not an endorsenient of the agencies represented and docs not attcsnpt to indicate their xalTie or standing. Cnission does not inply disapproval. The State Board of Charities and Corrections (q.v. ) lists agencies inspected and approved, and vTill answer liifiuirias regard- ing institutions and or£,an-;. zations in -he Stat3. Sho-'ili a Cliapter or an in- dividual desire inf oi-macion concemint,' the standing of a national or inter- State agency engaged in social, civic, cr philanthropic activity and soliciting funds from the public, inquiry should be ic:-.de of the Nc\ticnal Inforraa-/ion Bureau, 1 Madison Ave. , New York, N. Y. The space given to the description of an agency does not necessarily bear any relation to the importance of its work. The complexity of orgsxiiza- tion or the amount of data which was submitted or which was otherwise available is usually responsible for the length of the description. Criticisms and suggestions together with important additional infoima- tlon will be gladly received by the Pacific Division. The statements published in the Handbook have been compiled with the cooperation of the agencies concerned and officially approved by them. It must be borne in mind, of course, that new resources are constantly coEcing into being and existing ones are changing their methods or the character of their work. We wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to the institutions, organiza- tions, and departments which have assisted in the preparation of the bock. The work of compiling material for this Handbook fell to Miss Eliza- beth Mclv'echen of the Pacific Division. The material has been edited and index- ing has been done by Miss Genevieve P. Hendricks at National Headquarters, who also superintended the publication of the Ifendbook. George Filmer, Division Manager. 15126 rv.
