The absence of such an in
stitution in our Islands until
now has been a tragic lack.
Often we have been at our
wits ends as to what to do
about girls needing care. Now
that at last we have this
school, we hope that many a
girl who has had an unfortu-
nate childhood can be given
shelter and protection, train
ing, guidance and love-a
chance to grow into a normal
well-adiusted womanhood-a
chance to make their future a
bright and happy one.
We are tremendously heart
ened by the widespread sup
port received from people and
organizations in and out OF
official life. Out of the full
ness of our hearts, we have
published the tribute you read
ON the back of the program.
And further, in order that we
may have a lasting reminder
Of the contributions made by
organizations and people to
this worthy cause, we have
prepared a scroll which we
plan shall always hang in a
prominent spot in the Institu-
ton and which / now beg
leave to read to you.
Friends, | think it is a tri-
butte to a growing spirit OF
self-help in the v. I. that so
many private citizens and or
CARNATIONS have participated
voluntarily in this undertake

operation of this home.
To the Women's League of
st. Thomas, for their interest,
hard work and successful ac-
eomplishment Of raising the
additional money needed for
the purchase of furnishings
and equipment, on behalf of
the girls who will soon bene-
fit by the program of group
care now made available
say a very special Thank you
very, very much"
The establishment of this
institution for girls is a fitting
tribute to the integrity and
tenacity of purpose of our Com
missioner of Social Welfare,
who for many long years of
untiring effort, has sought
ways and means of its accom-
plishment. His zeal and lead
ership in the field of Social
Welfare, his efforts to provide
better welfare services for
children and the Aged alike,
is an inspiration to all of us
who work with him.
In closing, l must add that
this institution for girls cannot
perform the miracle of curing
every child placed therein any
more than a physician can
cure every patient he treats.
It's value is in the fact that it
will offer objective control
and supervision, sympathy, in
terest and understanding ito
every girl placed here. This is
something many of them have
never. before experienced. The
school program will be one of
individual treatment using the
integrated services of Educa-
ton, Casework, group work,
psychology, psychiatry, medi-
cine, vocational training and
religion, for all play an impor-
tant role in helping children
resolve their problems and
grow and develop into good
citizens. The first four Of fiji
teen girls will be placed here
in Monday--two from St. Tho
mas an dtwo from st. Croix.
The major responsibility for
this effort will rest upon the

Venlle delinquency and adult
~misdemeanors. We shall need
an increased Police force and
additional facilities for the
care, training and guidance of
children"
During these eight years, we
have seen his prediction be-
come a reality in both areas.
To meet the Departments re-
sponsibility, the Division of
Child Welfare established an
Insular wide foster family
home program, that provides
adequate home life for many
boys and girls who without
this care would have become
serious problems to the COM
lnunity.
More recently, the Boys
School was moved from Saint
Thomas to st. Croix to obtain
better physical facilities for
the care, treatment and train
ing Of dependent, neglected
and delinquent boys. This
school through the years, has
successfully aided the major
ity of the boys who have re-
ceived its services.
Both the Superintendent
and the Assistant Superinten-
dent have received profess
sional social work, training &
valuable institution expert
ence on the mainland. With
their return to the Islands, the
quality Of service provided by
the School has gre tt y
improved.
The need to provide institu-
ton services for dependent,
neglected and delinquent girls
has long been urgent. Without
this facility, your Division of
Child Welfare and the Juven-
lie Courts have had to close
their eyes to some of the con-
ditions under which girls were
forced to live. I recall an in
stance, several years ago,
when both were forced to
agree that a young girl who
was living in an out-of-wed-
lock relationship was better
off than she ever had been
with her own family. This is
but one of numerous girls who
could have been helped to a
better way of life by place

critics yesterday asked to be
heard in the Little Rock case
The segregation-supporting
organization asked the Supreme
Court to let it present various
legal points, including the ques-
ton of whether the courts de-
cision against segregation is
legally sufficient to negative
the supreme law of the land"
Arguments in the Little Rock
case are to be heard by the
Supreme Court tomorrow.
The motion explained: "Ir
other words, if an opinion OF
the Supreme Court seeks to es-
tablish a national policy dia-
metrically opposed to the ma
tional policy established by the
people acting through Their
duly elected and authorized
Representatives in the Con-

Senator Beall, speaking in

displayed no feelings of gloom
about his party's prospects.
His speech before the Advocate
Club of Towson failed to men,
ton the Maine election, but it
did underline the party's posi-
ton in national affairs.
While both parties agree on
many issues, Mr.. Beall said, they
differ in their attitude toward
big business. The Republican
Senator defended his party's
support of business and in
dustry.
He noted that there is general
recognition that industry must
be attracted to Maryland If in
dividual residents are to find
any relief in the skyrocketing
tax burden.
Incidentally industry was
