RECEIVING HOME
mot BIC ENOUGH,
HEAD DECLARES
New Building, Larger
Staff Requested

A new building is necessary to
provide for the segregation,
recreation and education" Of the
average 5000 boys and girls being
cared for, Grady Leonard, super
Iintendent Of the Children's re-
ceiving Home, declared today.
In his annual report to the
Board Of Public Welfare, Leonard
pointed out that a new structure
to house at least so is required.
Additional staff workers also are
badly needed the report said.
FOSTER HOMES URGED
AS an alternative to a new build.
ing, Superintendent Leonard
urged the securing Of additional
foster homes for dependent chill
dren in order to separate them
from the delinquent.
A is per cent increase in the
average population Of the home is
expected to result from the new
juvenile court law, Leonard
pointed out in reporting that 3,061
children were admitted during the
fiscal year ending July 81. AL
though this number is 224 less
than was cared for in the preced-
ling year. the institution gave
1857 days care to children last
year, or 270 days more than in
the preceding year.
Requesting an enlarged staff
which would include a full time
recreational worker, Leonard's
report said in part:
MANY VISITORS
"The community has become
aware of the needs Of the Re
ceiving Home.
Many prominent visitors, in
cluding Congressman and their
wives, officials Of the League OF
Women Voters, women'S clubs,
teachers, parent-teacher aSSo-
Citations and professional social
workers came to see just the sit
uation is here"
Although the home was ordered
closed at the end of the present
year, after funds for its continu
ance had been deleted, protests
from strong civic groups forced
officials to replace the item in the
1889 District budget with the pro
viso that a survey of the entire
child welfare situation in the Dis
trict be made.
This survey is now being made
by Miss Dorothy Henry, national
ly known social worker, and is be
