were denied any consideration
or legal advice as to any action
that they could take.
There is a Montgomery Coun
ty couple who had a foster child
and were assured by the welfare
board that the child will not be
removed from their home. After
four years of happiness, the wei,
fare board broke their word two
years ago and removed him in
spite of the couples frequent at,
tempts to adopt him. The board
claimed that there was another
couple who will get him. AS OF
now, the little boy is seven years
old and still a foster child of the
third home. 1t indicates that
the welfare board is not keeping
up the best interest of the chill
dren and Johnny may be in
volved.
I would appreciate greatly il
you will write to the public the
truth and regain your popular
ity in which is declining quite
rapidly.

Educational, economic and per-

five months of this school year.
I Activities of the pupil person

pervisor, T. H. Owen Knight.
Knight said that because of
the small number of workers
on his staff, they are not able
to handle much more than the
emergency cases referred to
them each day by school princi-
pals and parents.
Pupil personnel workers func-
ton as representatives of the
schools in contacts with parents,

others, in regard to children
with specific problems.

Of a total 2203 cases referred

said, the largest single category

and 104 were in economic need.
Knight estimated there are
thousands of emotionally dis
turbed children who need help

system.
Many such children come to
the attention of pupil personnel
workers because of behavior
that has gotten them in trouble
with police or school authorities.
Wherever possible, Knight said,
an attempt is made to find a
solution through conferences
with the parents.

In your article, you criticized
the governor for not thoroughly
investigating this case before
making any decisions. I regret
to say that your article gave
your guard away for you made
several statements which indi'
Gated that you either had moi
investigated this matter at all
or were very badly informed:
To point a few:
1. Johnny is not a girl as you
have stated! Johnny is no other
than a boy.
2. The Crumps had a foster
home study and were approved
without any difficulty to ,care
for two children of any age "a
matter of record.
3. Since the welfare workers
had inspected their foster home
regularly for four years without
any complications, why would
the Crumps decline an adoption
home study? Actually, the wei
fare board never asked them for
an adoption home study.
4. The Crumps made repeated

We have had unbelievable diff

FOUR of the appointments made
by the local governing bodies of

back to life, but without the sill
ly idea that a majority of the
Regents must be alumni. 1t is
up for hearing this Thursday
afternoon.
