here by the director of the
manifold work.
BY MRS. w. T. BOST
Commissioner, Charities and
Public Welfare
written for the Associated Press)
RALEIGH, Dec. 13.-tR- North
Cardinals welfare program faces
far different conditions at the close
of 1910 from those prevalent at
the end of 1899.
Uncertain as world conditions
were a year ago, they are even
more so as 1941 approaches and
consequently r bound to have an
effect on any program. More than
ever it is now realized that the
first order of total defense is in
ternal security for the people who
will safeguard the American way
of life.
A great step forward in North
Cardinals care of. its underprivi-
legged was the employment in Jam
uary, 1910, of a physician trained
in handling mental cases and prob
lens to act as full-time director
of the mental hygiene division of
the state welfare department. Thus
an added service is available to
communities in assisting in estab-
lishment of mental hygiene clinics
throughout the state.
With the employment of a child
psychiatrist in the children's unit
of the mental hygiene division, pro-
grams are being worked out in
conjunction with local agencies for
providing services to child-guid-
ance and mental hygiene clinics
already set up and stimulating their
establishment in other areas.
Studies undertaken gave figures
for operating costs of county
homes for the fiscal year ended
in June, 1910, and showed the num-
Der of children under 16 confined
in county jails and admissions to
state training schools for delin-
quents continuing the steady de-
cline begun some time ago.
The average number of inmates
Of state prison camps under q
years of age has also shown a
decline. From a study of 805 ap.
plications pending at Caswel
training school, it was found tha1
mental detectives eligible for ad
mission in the 60 counties report
ing, numbered about 800, consider
ably less in proportion than the
1900 formerly estimated for t
whole state.
A survey of juvenile court rec
ords for the five years from July
1, 1884 through June 80, 1899 was
begun which, when completed, will
give a 20 year record of youthful
delinquency factors.
Mcdowell county remodeled its
Jail in 1910 under plans approved
by the department, while Forsyth
and Richmond counties undertook
plans for remodeling of their ia
%cilities for safekeeping prisoners.
The future possibility of having

state board had its authority over
