the noble woman who are in charge of
this home have not been able to achieve
the best results. the ideal situation
cannot be reached until the Virginia
Home and Industrial School for Girls
becomes state institution. In this
view the board of the home concurs,
and they united with us in presenting
the case to the last General Assembly.
The existing situation is anomalous.
The State makes an appropriation for
this home Gas we'll for like insti-
tutions at Laurel and Hanover), and
Yet has neither voice nor control in
the management Of affairs In the
same way the unpaid board, with all
Its devotion, is unable to give to the
affairs of the home that detailed at
tention 1t demands. We are of opinion
that many OF the problems OF the home
will be solved as soon as the state
recognizes its direct responsibility for
these little girls and ceases to impose
on generous men the arduous task of
providing for them. A larger staff
matron must be strengthened, the
after-care of the children must be pro-
vided for--n1c5 things must be done.
But above all else the whole institu-
ton should have thrown about It the
strong sovereign arm OF the Common
wealth.

2 That the board of the home erred
In placing a negro man In any capa-
city on the farm where he could have
any control Of any sort, over white
girls.
B. That the accounts OF the institu-
tion in the past have not been kept in
accordance with the usual standard or
accounts for the disbursement of public
funds but that these accounts are now
in satisfactory shape.
4 That the parole Of children should
never be granted except for good con-
duct. with the approval OF the matron,
and that provision should be made for
the adequate after-care of these chill
