CONTINUED from FHI Fd9eI
tage. Previous to the dedication ex-
ercises an inspection of the entire
school was made by the visitors.
Governor Buck began his address
by allu&ng to the observance of
Mothers Day short time ago, and
declared that the word mother"
will ever stand for beauty. love and
devotion.
"The goodness of men," said the
Governor, may be traced to mother
love. and remembrance of that love
lifts us from sordid things to the
higher planes of activity. Women
have ever held the objective gained
by men. Their influence led men
to establish government and to pro-
tect it. To them we owe the three
great pillars of this Republic-re-
ligion, education and the home.
Having made the remarks con-
cerning automobiles, movies and
road houses the Governor cohtinu-
ed:
"Proper discipline and inviting
home surroundings should prepare
our youth for the test to which they
are subjected, but each of these, be-
cause of parental neglect or possibly
worse, leads to Generalization and
ofttimes to moral degradation" l."
The Governor declared that no
one enjoys a monopoly Of virtue and
that this was realized by the group
of earnest women who in 1898 laid
the foundations for this school. He
also paid tribute to Mrs. E. C..
Marks, a we'll known Presbyterian
minister. who with group of wo-
men started the school in small
way and looked after its mainte-
nance until the State granted assis-
tance. He spoke of the number of
girls in the school, about 80, and OF
those who had gone back into the
world.
These girls have gone out" he
said, with the right attitude to-
ward society and with self reliance
to meet their own responsibilities OF
the future. This sufficient proficiency
to become useful in many walks OF
life with strengthened character, is
a credit to themselves and to those
who have trained them"
DR.. Potter spoke on "Modern
Trends in a State Program of We'll
fare Work" She believed, she said,
that this new building should be
educational providing education in
the broadest sense for a specially Sc
lected group. With this thought as
a background, she elaborated on the
subject and declared that Delaware
has reason to be proud of the for
ward step which it has taken to-
ward undermining its program for
the social welfare and education OF
girls who are truly its children and
for whom such social, educational
and vocational adjustments are Fo
vitality necessary"
DR.. Potter described progress
made by such work in the past 100
years and she continued:
"Our goal must be to create an
environment of self control, init.a-
tive, self direction and judgment
which will enable those in such
schools to use their liberty wisely.
"To produce this" the speaker
said, there must be the right kind
of personnel in the institution, the
proper classification of human ma
terial, small housing units so that
this classification may be the bet
ter carried out.
There is great need" the speaker
said, for the development of an
understanding and respect as be-
tween racial and national groups
both within and without institutions
I'VE must look to our Governors
and Legislators to provide the sup
port for the immediate present and
set up the states favilities in the
field of social welfare.
