W. Curtis Ezell, director of the division of institutions and cor rections of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, as cribed much of the change as due to new programs of social wel fare operated by the state or fed eral governments. “The National Youth Adminls- trrtiou.

Organization of county welfare depariinents in all 100 counties of North Carolina helped lower the number rf children incarcer ated in county jails from 1231 in 1036 to 1070 in 1937. with a fur ther reduction through 878 In 1938 down to the 1939 low of 7 81, or a total reduction of 38 percent, Ezell said. "These reductions have been made without the addition of new or substitute Institutions or facil ities and without a corresponding rise in the population of Institu tions already existing. “The training schools for de linquents show no increase in ad missions in 1939 over 1936 Each year there were a total of 488 ad missions to the four training schools,” he stated. Commitments of persons under 16 years of age to the state pris on system have taken another turn with a rise from 64 in 1936 to 101 in 1939 although the younger prisoners are making up an ever increasingly smaller per centage of the total prison popu lation. In fiscal 1933 persons under 25 years made up halt the total commitments while in 1938 the prisoners under 25 years of age accounted tor only 40 per cent of the total number.
