Board of Public Welfare Re
stores Happiness to Thou
sands Annually.
Thousands of unfortunate chil
dren—delinquents. orphans, sons and
daughters of criminal or disagreeing
parents, and feeble-minded, underfed,
mistreated and ill boys and girls—are
cared for annually by the District
Board of Public Welfare at a yearly
cost of more than a half miUlon
dollars.
This public attempt to restore hap
piness to crushed and blighted young
lives is carried on through a host of
agencies, all under the general super
vision of El wood Street—National
Training School for Girls, Children’s
Tuberculosis Sanitarium, District
Training School. Division of Child
Welfare, Industrial Home School. In
dustrial Home School for Colored
Children and the Receiving Home
for Children.
The board, whose work for chil
dren is only s small item in its total
sum of duties, also acts as an advisor
regarding the National Training
School for Boys, which is under the
control of the Department of Justice.
The Child Welfare Division, which
supervises the care and training of
dependent, neglected and delinquent
children committed to the guardian
ship of the board, is the clearing
house for the juvenile work.
Daily Average 1,816.
This division cared for a daily av
erage of 1,810 boys and girls in 1934,
610 of whom were committed by the
Juvenile Court, the lowest number in
this category since 1926.
“It is probable that the large ex
penditure for relief has tended to de
crease the number of commitments,
enabling families at the border line
of dependency to retain their chil
dren," the board comments in its lat
est annual report.
The report urges a change in the
procedure of requiring court commit
ments of children whom poverty ren
ders a handicap to penniless parents.
The court commitment is "drastic
procedure for parents whose only of
fense is that they are poor,” the board
thinks, and adds that “this court ac
tion undoubtedly has. in most in
•tances, an undesirable psychological
effect both on the parents and on the
children."
In putting out children “to board"
the Welfare Division sets up a strict
standard, so that of 529 applications
last year received from people who
declared their anxiety to provide fos
ter homes for children, only 28 were
finally approved.
“A splendid spirit has been mani
fested on the part of these homes,”
Street declares. “Their devotion was
particularly evidenced during the year
when spontaneously and unanimously
those in a certain area appeared be
fore public authorities in defense of
the school opportunities of 'their chil
dren.’ ”
Medical Supervision.
All wards of the District are given
expert dental and medical supervision,
and among all the children under care
during 1934 only six deaths were noted,
three of them accidental.
Street and Miss A. Patricia Morss,
head of the Child Welfare Division,
make four recommendations to en
large and better their work in this
Important branch of public social en
deavor.
They urge:
1. More intensive case work in the
homes of children where there is
economic pressure before commitment.
“This would not only make unneces
sary many commitments, but would
also make possible constructive serv
ice in homes of children temporarily
committed to the board.”
2. More satisfactory institutional
program for older colored girls.
3. ‘‘Provision for emergency insti
tutional placement, particularly in
asmuch as about 50 per cent of the
children are placed outside the District
of Columbia, where importation laws
and requirements of boards of edu
cation necessarily cause delay in their
iulflllment.
4. Immediate increase in the num
ber of case workers.
Work Increases.
While during the nine years since
1926, the average number of children
under care has increased by 381, only
two case workers have been added to
the board's staff.
"It is imperative that the case load
of workers be decreased, particularly
as the foster home area gradually in
creases,” Street urges. “There should
be also more service in the home
finding division."
The members of the Board of Public
Welfare are:
Frederick W. McReynolds, chairman:
M. M. Doyle, vice chairman: Mrs.
Charles Goldsmith, secretary; Mrs.
Hugh S. Cummlng, John Joy Edson,
Dr. Frederic W. Perkins, Mrs. Coralie
F. Cook, Dr. H. J. Cros on, Dr. Worth
B. Daniels.
(This is the eighth of a series of
articles on social service work in the
District of Columbia A ninth will
appear here next week.)
