rehabilitating human beings who
have not been able to adjust them
leWes to th« social order, economics
can be effected which will not be at
the expense of future generations of
our |
So much for the purely economic
angle of the problem of caring for our
prisoners. Is the parole a sound me
thod for dealing with those who havt
violated the law? I think it la, and
this opinion is shared by all who haw
preceded me In this office.
The public tends to think of the
parole as a form of executive cle
mency. Properly viewed, it is a me
thod for dealing with prisoners and is
analogous to the system, everywhere
n vogue, of grading prisoners An A
trade prisoner does not wear stripes
md he has a certain amount of free
lom Tho parole is one step beyond
A grade and is also analogous to the
uspended sentence. The prisoner ig
jiven hts freedom on condition that he
obey the law and comply with the
erms of his parole The parole can
revoked and he can be returned tr
irison any time.
Our are becoming schools of
crime for the reason that we have
virtually no facilities for segregation.
Expressed in plain language, the S;ate
>f Nor'h Carolina is paying $140,000
t year to maintain men in an atmos
phere which will almost certainly In
i distressingly large number of in
stances, make hardened criminals ot
them
In this wise? Is it sound econo
mies? Is North Carolina justified in
;pending money to destroy men when
>ur resources for constructive build
ng -education, public hearth, and so
in -are depleted to the verge of a
jeneral breakdown?
North Carolina is today at a cross
-cads. I submit that we need to
oender this problem of prison admin
;stration and its related problems In
* dispassionate manner and spend
whdßjfcnoney we have where it will
n the long run—do the most good

Welfare Workers Broaden
Activity With U. S. Funds
More Counties Employing S uperintendents Than at Any
Time in State’s History; Need For Winter WHI Be
Very Great, Mrs. Bost Declares
Hy MEM W. T. BDBT,
(CmmiMomt of PaMc Welfare)
Raleigh. Dee. 27 (AP>—Public wel
fare workers in North Earotlna enter
ed upon a greatly expanded program
j dmrlng the past year. New opper
[ tun it ire for human sendee were made
possible when the Federal Government
stepped Into the field of relief, mak
ing a vast appropriation for this pur-
PP*«* t
When North Carolina began to bor
row targe sums from the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation, the public
welfare offlolals were the channels
chosen. In the malw, for the expendi
ture of the relief funds.
With the diatribut.on of this money
to the counties, local welfare depart
ments found themselves able to ex
pand their activities. At last they
could give relief o« a fairly adequate
scale. They launched public and semi
public projects which would put men
to work. As long as funds continue
to be made available, unemployed
labor will be utilized and men will be
given a chance to earn their daily
bread, It has beens estimated that
North Carolina must spend half a mil
lion dollars each month of the winter
if human destitution is to be relieved.
Relief has taken on the proportions
of a gigantic business.
Loking over the State, we see pub
lic welfare officials responding enthu
siastically to the opportunity to meet
needs so real to them. W* are proud
that our State has so fine a corps of
workers to render human service in
this great crisis.
North Carolina, we believe, realizes
the value of its public welfare pro
gram. A« an indication, we point to
the fact that more counties are em
ploying superintendents of public wel
fare than at any other time in ovir
State’s history. The law permits
those smaller counties which elect to
do so place the duties and responsibi
lities of the welfare office upon the
school superintendent. However, dur
ing the past year, nine of these decid
ed to employ superintendents of pub
lic welfare.
These counties were: Montgomery,
Duplin. Scotland, Granville. Polk.
Translvanla. Yancey Washington and
Macon. The total number of full
time and part-time superintendents of
public welfare employed in the coun-
I ties is now 62.
Although the .past year hag seen
little expansion among our institu
tions among our institutions, the pro
gram generally has been carried for
ward kt a gratifying way. Our insti
tutions have valiently endeavored to
give more efficient service at greatly
reduced costs, and have succeeded to
a commendable deg Tee.
Os special tnteaest is the mental hy
giene work carried on in connection
with the institutional program, men
tal exainations being conducted in
many instances to enable wise diag
nosis of problems, and to serve as a
guide for future treatment of cases.
State psychologists have been called
on frfequently to give menial exami
nations to determine whether child
ren are capablbe of learning in school,
as a law passed in 1931 exempted men
tally deficient children from attend
ance. However, famllities have not

been available to meet the whole de
mand for such service
Juat* a word as to the goals for
i 933 In our rer«», b.enoia) repot'
to the legislature, we again called in
tention to the fact that provision
should be made Cor negro feeblemind
ed. either at the stat ehospttal for
the inaane at Goldsboro or at Caawell
Training school, since a special In
stitution for this purpose seems out of
the question.
Also, we pointed out, along with
other recommendation*, that an ade
quate parole program would be eco
nomical and humane; that juvenile
delinquents ehrouid be studied at a
central clinic before institutional com
mitment; that' specialized training
should be provided for the child with
a combination of defects; that the
State should take over and enlarge
the North Carrolina industrial school
for Negro girts at Efland.
Our hope is that 1933 will witness
continued expansion of the State pro
gram to the end that the welfare of
all may be better served. Always we
emphasize the necessity oC attacking
social evils, like dependency, dtsea.se,
delinquency, deficiency, in childhood,
so that our young may grow up
strong healthy, happy and self-re
liant. Only thus may we begin to
prevent those human disasters that
Lead to warped and stunted lives and
sometimes vicious lives.
