More workers and supervisors, with adequate salaries, a home and colony | for the feeble-minded, a temporary &recalvlnz home, and .an Industrial | school for the training of colored girls are some of the measures urgently needed by the board of children's guardians of this city, it was brought out yesterday in an interview with [ Mrs. R. Thomas West, executive chair- man of the board. An urgent appeal has been’made to Congress to appropriate’at least $8,000 more per year for salaries, which will epable the board (o secure the serv- ices of from three to five more work- ers. If this appeal is heeded, mem- bers of the board believe, a saving 1 of at least $24,000 per year can be ef- fected. With additional workers the board believes that it will be able to place 1it8 wards in private homes where no lcdging will have to be paid, thus ef- fecting a considerable saving to the government. The four paramount needs of the board follow: Need Larger Stafr. r staff, with salaries ade- quate to induce workers to join the board who can supervise and assist in developing the work. It would not only give the supervision that de- pendent children should have, but would mean also that there would be enough workers to do family rein- vestigation as needed and to find |good, free homes for wards with jrelatives and others, in many th- stances, soon after they come to the board. The investment in salaries would make possible a great saving in the board and care of children and would enable the board to do the kind of work that should be done for the District's dependent children. “A home and colony for the feeble- | of the most pressing needs of the District. There is no institution tor |the feeble-minded in which the Dis- itrict can place its colored wards, and at the present time a rather limited {number of white feeble-minded are oz accepted at Vineland, N. J.; Elwyn| Pa., and_ Miss Gundry's in Fallf Church, Va., leaving no adequat provision in the majority of cases. “A temporary receiving home is |believed necessary. It takes a con- siderable amount.of time to become well enough acquainted with a child to decide to what home it should go. A temporary receiving home would give a chance to make this most proper start. Many of these children, soon as committed, have had to be placed at once in family boarding homes. This sort of placement means much_extra work for all concerned and is very hard on the children themselves, frequently necessitating {Several changes before a child is known well enough to enable a work- find the home suited to its i { i | needs. i Industrial School Needed. ; “ntil there is an industrial school 18 | for. the tramming of colored girls the | work of the board will remain handi- {capped, as there is practically no iplace open for the delinquent older {colored girls ommitted to the board {but fami {of employment if they are old enough ito work, neither of which is usually m&mmg«mavm%mm@mmm&:&mm@mmm%@—mmm at all suited td their needs. quently they jcare, and, if there was room at the tional Training School, they would many cases be sent there.

Many excellent new | boarding homes have been added to our list. and more than 300 perma- nent wards have been placed in good free homes to their’ great, and we hope lasting, benefit.” In this connection, said Mrs. West, no greater opportunity for the real Christmas _spirit _toward _children could be offered than to give these little ones who are under the care of the board a home. The board is constantly sceking to increase its scope of activity, and much of.its en- ergy islconcentrated on finding free homes for its wards. GIVES TO TRAVELERS’ AID.
