Criticlsm Explained. Critielsm of the board work hLas been growing in for very much more than a year. These criticisms, excépt as to the closing of the Industrial Home School have been more against administra- tive methods than against policies. Indeed, there is not now and has not been in recent years any divergence of views among ti Board of Childrens’ Guard placing children in homes rather than in fnstitutions, but it has long been apparent that some improve- and its volume ment in administrative methods and/ in the details of the board's work Was necessary. This necessity has become o apparent since the legisla- tion of February last and the re- organization of the board as to be no longer ignored, and it has seemed to @ majority of ‘the board that the improvement could be brought about only by a change of its executive officer. All intelligent people concede that a ome is better for @ child than an in- many including a ma- jority, if ' not all of the present board, do not subscribe to the doctrine that home is better than any institu- tion. They think a good institution is better than a poor home. of the attacks directed agalnst the board last summer pro- ceeded upon the assumption that all the homes it had seclected were bad he it {und that the situation would be com- take | pletely remedied by placing | further action to make that already of its 1,500 wards in the Industrial Home School. On the other hand, now that the board intends to make a rational use of the school, in pecordance with the will of Congress, the criticism has shifted, and the extreme advocates of the private home policy, so-called “trained social workers,” are apparently greatly dis- turbed at the thought that the board by placing a few of its wards tem porarily and until good private homes can be found. in a school whose total pacity is about 135, has turned its back upon the private home policy nd intends, as was stated in a recent article, to “confine its wards in insti- tutions.” One criticism was as unfair as the other. In the unfortunate con- troversy concerning the Industrial Home School, the zeal of the majority of the board of children’s guardians, as_then constituted, to remove all ildren from that inetitution imme- . was so great that it is prob- able that some mis were in the selection of Removed Friction. represented to the committees on appropriations of the House and Sen- | ate that the conditiens as it existed prior to February last with the school under the control of u sepa- rate board, way an lmpossible one. I do not know whether this state- ment had any influence upon Con- gress or mot. At any rate, Congress undertook to remove the friction by placing the school under the direct control of the Board of Children's Guardians, and clearly expressed its intention that it should be operated by making full appropriations for-its support. _Congress, the public, the press mnd_the Commissioners of the! District of Columbia and trained so- clal workers need have no misgivings dissensfons in the board. Six of its members are in complete ac- cord as to policies and administra- tive methods, and it seems fair to Clowns and Elephants Coming To Town With Circus Again BORNELLI, One of the fifty clowns with Sells-Floto circus.

At any rate, the majority intend’ to respect the will of Congress, the views of the Commissioners and the rights of their wards and the fam- ilies of wards. They are willing to accept the ad- vice of the agent in her letter of | resignation to the extent of EIVIng to the new agent to be chosen “com- plete confidence and support.” but they intend to require in return the confidence and support of their ap- | pointee for every member of the ! board. and a loyal recognition of the | principle that the board, and not its employes, has the right not only to contrgl policies, but to correct errors | of administration when discovered. | With this kind of co-operation, there will probably be no ground for fric- tion and no reason for not keeping the public and the press fully in formed as to all the transactions of the board. Mrx. West's Letter. West's letter follows Dear Mr. Millan On July 1, 1 I shall have been with the | Board of Children’s Guardians four | years, having July, 1919, been urged in an emergency to act as| agent until some one could be found for the position. | “As the great needs of the work | became plain to me, 1 remained on : month after month to do what T! could to help Washington's de- | pendent children, realizing that, | although each worker was doing hi best, the Board of Children’s Guardi- ans was in po w equipped to meet the needs. Some of the visitors at that time had as many chil dren, for whose supervision they Wwere responsible. ‘Step by step Mre.

Yt is gratify- ing to realize that this greatly re jduced number of children under shows that fewer are removed from their own homes, and it is especially gratifying that this is partly due to the increased realization in our own {affice, which is charged with the duty of protecting children, that their best interests are served by leaving them {in their own homes whenever it is {possible to do so H Jther advances in the work have | been due to the reorganization of | the home-finding department more )len & Yyear ago by a leading au- |thority in the country on the in- | vestigation of foster homes. There | has also been a noteworthy improve- ment in the record system now in use |largely due to expert advice given :‘(hmugh the Child Welfare League of {America. { { i { i Nurses Give Ald. “Two graduate nurses, under the ‘fllrfl('()(\“ of the hoard's physician, have raised the standard of health are. and have put into effect progyessive health pgram with careful follow up. me: nuch for the future welfare of those {children vitally concerned. and has been of real educational value to th }individual and communlties who have }be,l brought to contact with this work . “The general policy df developing a large number of good boarding homes and of excellent free homes with rel- &tives and others has placed the work of the Board of Children's Guardiar in line with the accepted methods an ; accomplishments of other for- | ward looking child-caring agencie. throughout the country. This policy has supplanted that which formerly prevailed where the majority of a the children were placed in’ Institu- tions and were frequently allowed to remain there until they were old | enough to work on their own account or were demanded by thelr families because of their wage earning abil- ity. Even many children considered to be delinquent or semi-delinquent who have been committed during the past four years to the Board of il- ‘ dren’s Guardians, when placed under the influence of good family life, | where they could be taught and| trained as individuals in a. natural | manner and given an opportunity for | i | | i | H i ] normal expression, have demonstrat- ed the advantages of this method of home treatment as contrasted with institutional care, where they were often regarded as incorrigible and quite hopeless. Spirit of Staff Fime. “The harmony which existed amon members of the hoard until the oty few months and the mpparent ugan- nimity of feeling which prompted them to act olely in the interest of the children and of the work were re- flected in.the accomplishments during the most of this four-year period. “The service and spirit of the staff | of the Board of Children’s Guard- ians have been so fine and so loval during the past months of attack that | it is a regrettable fact that the atti- | tude of certain members of the board, | instead of lending ipspiration and en- | couragement when most needed, has | made the tasks of these workers most/ difficult. | “Another fact which made the work | ialmost unbearable was the policy of | | silence deliberately pursued by a ma- | jority vote of the board in the face of | repeated, unwarranted and malicinusi attacks. This policy showed an utter disregard of public opinfon and more- | over at a time when the public mind was openly inquisitive an opportunity | was missed to set forth the construc. tive policies of the work and the rea- sons for tHose policies from the stand- | {point of the children’'s welfare. This | | omission has left to'the present Board | of Children’s Guardians a challenging task for the future. Uzges Trained Appeintec. | “May I venture to suggest that when the time comes for the selection of my successor the Board of Chil- dren's Guardians choose & person thoroughly trained in’ the modern principles of child caring and that having selected such a person, thel board give to its executive its com- plete confidence and support and the {full responsibility for all work gen erally recognized as that which the executive should be permitted to do. “I_myself would gladly have given up the work a year or more ago had the situation not appeared to demand that 1 remain on, Before any recent intimation that several members of | the board desired a change 1 had made definite plans to give up at once, because it was no longer possi- | ble to go forward. i “Although in all work dealing with human relations full' consideration must be given to the other man's point of view, 1 am not willing" to fave any part in work where aj. | H i i ] | H i or standards lowered. “] therefore wish to sever my offi- cial connection -with the hBDu‘dMo!
