The following law is published for the information of the officers of this Bureau.
Objections exist to that provision of the law which gives the former owner of Freed children the preference in apprenticing them - but if the provision that proof shall be made that such former owner is a suitable person for the purpose is conscientiously carried out by the civil officers it is believed that it will be productive of no evil effect.  The officers of tis Bureau are hereby directed to report to this office any case of injustice done to Freed children under the provision above mentioned in or that the Asst Comsr may be enabled to correct the evil by reference to the proper civil authorities
