Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reconstruction in Michigan: Lansing, Michigan, March 11, 1919
In order to deal adequately with the questions affecting Michigan, Governor Sleeper has called the first Reconstruction Conference of state and county war workers Preliminary to this Conference, and as an aid to its work, he created this committee with instructions to make a general survey of the various problems of reconstruction, and to embody its conclusions in a report to the Conference. Immediately upon the appointment of the committee, the chairman conferred at Washington with officials of the National Council of Defense and obtained whatever information was available from various other sources regarding the work in hand, and regarding similar activities in other states. The various reconstruction topics were assigned to twelve subcommittees for more detailed investigation. The reports of these subcommittees, whose work was done with noteworthy ability and earnestness, were collated and approved by the full committee, and form the basis of this report. Realizing that its functions are only ancillary to those of the Conference, and being unable through lack of time to treat its subject exhaustively, this committee has confined itself, in the main, to a general consideration of the subject. At the same time, however, the committee has recognized the usefulness to the Conference of definite proposals and suggestions touching some of the more vital and immediate problems, and to that end it has made certain specific recommendations which might serve as a basis for action.
