The need for improvement of the condi- tion at the State Custodian school at Medi- cal Lake is so great that the legislature should pass an emergency appropriation NOW. In the Custodian school are 825 inmates, more than 200 of whom are deformed, fee- ble-minded tots, who must be watched and red for constantly. Inasmuch as the in- stitution was built to accommodate only 700, it is now so badly overcrowded that lit- tle cripples and imbeciles are sleeping in the halls and on the porches, Not only is the institution crammed in pit- iless fashion, but more than 300 other imbe- ciles have been ordered to the institution. And there is no room for them. Literally hundreds of feeble-minded children are running at large over the state, committing petty crimes and getting into all kinds of trouble. An emergency exists, The people of this state have a right to look to the legislature for protection. The care and custody of the imbeciles is absolutely nececsary. Yet, Washington is falling short in its duty be- cause there is no room at the Medical Lake school. Goy. Hart has laid the situation before the legislature and asked that something be done about it. The legislature will be heart- less if it fails to act. t 1 ature ing decent provision dec SsStstsseitites stress feiss i | oo Ma da. ot Postoffice at Seattle, Was under the A gress Mar 4, 187%, Per Yeo by Ma tse 7 = et Entered as Second Class Matter May 4, 1899, at the Postoffice at Seattle, Wash, under the Act of Congress March 3, 1879.
