SEO0000 15 SPENT INCHLD WELFARE Board of Public Welfare Re- | stores Happiness to Thou- sands Annually. Thousands of unfortunate chil- dren—delinquents, orphans, sons and daughters of criminal or disagreeing parents, and feeble-minded, underfed, mistreated and ill boys and girls—are cared for annually by the District Board of Public Welfare at a yearly | cost of more than a half million dollare. This public attempt to restore hap- piness to crushed and blighted young | lives is carried on through a host of agencies, all under the general super- vision of FElwood Street—National ‘Training School for Girls, Children’s ‘Tuberculosis Sanitarium, District | Training School, Division of Child Welfare, Industrial Home School, In-| dustrial Home School for Colored Children and the Receiving Home for Children. The board, whose work for chil- dren is only a small item in its total| sum of duties, also acts as an advisor | regarding the National Training School for Boys, which is under the| control of the Department of Justice. | The Child Welfare Division, which | supervises the care and training of | dependent, neglected and delinquent | children comniitted to the guardian-| ship of the board, is the clearing | house for the juvenile work. Daily Average 1,816, | ‘This division cared for a daily av- erage of 1,816 boys and girls in 1934, 510 of whom were committed by the | Juvenile Court, the lowest number in this category since 1926. “It is probable that the large ex- | penditure for relief has tended to de- crease the number of commitments, enabling families at the border line | of dependency to retain their chil- dren,” the board comments in its lat- | est_annual report. The report urges a change in the procedure of requiring court commit- | ments of children whom poverty ren- | ders a handicap to penniless parents. | The court commitment is “drastic | procedure for parents whose only of- | fense is that they are poor,” the board | thinks, and adds that “this court ac- | tion undoubtedly has, in most in- | stances, an undesirable psychological | effect both on the parents and on the children.” In putting out children “to board” the Welfare Division sets up a strict | standard, so that of 529 applications | last year received from people who | declared their anxiety to provide fos- ter homes for children, only 28 were finally approved “A splendid spirit has been mani- fested on the part of these homes,” Street declares. “Their devotion was particularly evidenced during the year when spontaneously and unanimously those in a certain area appeared be- fore public authorities in defense of | the school opportunities of ‘their chil- | dren.’” | Medical Supervision. [ All wards of the District are given expert dental and medical supervision, and among all the children under care during 1934 only six deaths were noted, three of them accidental. Street and Miss A. Patricia Morss, head of the Child Welfare Division, | make four recommendations to en- | large and better their work in this| important branch of public social en- | deavor. | They urge: 1. More intensive case work in the homes of children where there is economic pressure before commitment. | “This would not only make unneces- | sary many commitments, but would also make possible constructive sery- ice in homes of children temporarily committed to the board.” | 2. More satisfactory institutional program for older colored girls. 3. “Provision for emergency insti- tutional placement, particularly in- | § asmuch as about 50 per cent of the | children are placed outside the District | of Columbia, where importation laws and requirements of boards of edu-‘ cation necessarily cause delay in their fulfillment. 4. Immediate increase in the num- ber of case workers. Work Increases. While during the nine years since | 1926, the average number of children under care has increased by 381, only | two case workers have been added to | the board's staff. | “It is imperative that the case load | of workers be decreased, particularly | as the foster home area gradually in- | creases,” Street urges. “There should | be also more service in the home- finding division.” ‘The members of the Board of Public | Welfare are: Frederick W. McReynolds, chairman; M. M. Doyle, vice chairman; Mrs. | Charles Goldsmith, secretary; Mrs, | Hugh 8. Cumming, John Joy Edson, Dr. Frederic W. Perkins, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, Dr. H. J. Cros-on, Dr. Worth B. Daniels. (This is the eighth of a series of articles on social service work in the District of Columbia A ninth will appear here next week.) Bottles Hurt Six in Fire.
