of a crime against the people of the state.
The need for improvement of the condi-
ton at the State Custodian school az Medi-
cal Lake is so great that the Legislature
should pass an emergency appropriation
NOW.
In the Custodian school are S25 inmates,
more than 200 of whom are deformed, fee
be-minded tots, who must be watched and
cared for constantly. Inasmuch as the in
Stitution was built TO accommodate only
700, it is now so badly overcrowded that lit
tie 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-
Giles 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 right to look to the legislature
for protection. The care and custody of the
imbeciles is absolutely necessary Yet,
Washington is falling short in its duty be-
cause there is no room at the Medical Lake
school.
Gov. 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.
