The following communication from
management of Sparta school for neg
lected children, was referred to committee
on charitable institutions:
Board Of Supervisors. Gentlemen We have
ample room for good children under IA years of
age, and many applications for them in good
homes.
There is no charge against the counties for
maintaining these children. The only expense
is for bringing the children here [See Chapter
223, Laws 1901.)
Every child is entitled to protection under the
law. The State School gives the child this pro-
lection and is the best and most humane system
for caring for dependent and neglected children.
L hope you will direct your Poor Commission-
ers to have neglected children committed to the
State School,.
Respectfully submitted
NJ. T. PARK, Superintendent.
