The Midcentury White House Conference on Children and Youth is the fifth of a series. The first was held in 1909 on call of President Theodore Roosevelt in particular to study the dependent child. It resulted in fifteen recommendations, the most important of which was the establishment of a Children's Bureau, which occurred in 1912. The second White House Conference, called by President Wilson in 1919, set standards for children entering employment and for protection of health of mother and child and of those in need of special care.
