A! ; vti.P FURNITURE CO, . Amendment of the law making It necessary for the state architect to approve plans for asylums before they can be carried into execution will be the first step to be urged by proponents of Boclal welfare wnen tne state legislature convenes next Wednesday. In the opinion of Judge John H. Cathey, of the county Juve nile court, and other vitally inter ested in the work among delinquent, abnormal or underprivileged folk. It is pointed out by these propon ents that the legislature of 1917; au thorized the sale of 1250,000 In bonds to enlarge the asylums, but that nothing had been done as tne state architect, has been unable to furnlHh plans for the additions and alter ations necessary. Nothina- has been done to care for the accumulation of cases of feeble mlndedness among children since the Caswell Training school at Kinston burned down more than two years ago. Judge Cathey has had one appli cation in more than a year ana an other for more than eight months. Constant care ot someone is required in both cases, although families In moderate circumstances are made to bear the burden of each case. Judge Cathey states that he has cases ot insanity that have burdened families for more than a year, and that he can get no relief from the state because of the lack of room in the white asylum at Morganton, the asylum for the colored folk at Golds boro, for the epileptic at Raleigh, for the delinquent boys at the Jackson Training school. Concord, and for the delinquent girls at the Smacarand Manor, In Moore county. It is im possible for the juvenile court to function, he says,, until provision is made to care for those who are homeless, or for those who come from homes conducive to delinquency. This opinion is voiced by Juvenile court Judges in all parts of North Carolina. A bill ' to authorise any group of counties to join in equally and' build at a centrally located place an insti tution to care, , for these Juveniles would be of great benefit. Judge Cathey says. There Is no public children's home maintained by tax ation in Western North Carolina, ex cept rn Buncombe county. All juve niles in all other counties have to de pend on the Jackson Training school at Concord, . and Smacarand Manor, in , Moora county. And since these are constantly full to the point ot overflow, there is no place for them to send these children, despite the fact tha they must pay taxes and that the fulfil be law in the estab lishment it juvenile courts. "Child welfare work, which covers every phase of child life, from the neglect and delinquency to feeble mindedness, is. growing in its magni tude," declared Judge Cathey, "and the public is Just beginning to realize what the welfare law means. It has been copied by several states, tut It has never been carried out in this state. . ,.."'..".- , ;., "This state and the United States have appropriated millions' of dollars for the care and protection of animal lifev but they have "been Very slow tQ provide money and means tor the care of child life. v , "Lack of sympathy on the part of politicians has kept -the best men and women out of juvenile court work. Our present child welfare and Juve CONFEDERATES TO GET MORE MONEY IN JUNE ... i 'UKGISIiATOtK INCXVPES AIDI. TION.VL W1IMJWS IN MEASVItE nlle court acts' are the most liberal and far reaching ever placed on the Ktatuta books .of any state. Hut we lack means, both in men and money, to carry out the provisions of this act to the .'best advantage of the child and state. Our law is for the guid ance of the child and for the correc tion of the parents or guardian, but not necessarily for the punishment of anyone. Punishment Is not necessary td correction it we have properly : trained welfare superintendents and ample institutions. To attain this: goal we must have more Institutions and better paid workers; else we can not attain the high alnis as contem plated by our present laws," There has been strong objection In all part of the state to the employ ment by the board of county com missioners or criminal officers as su ' perlntendents of public welfare. The Idea of mixing criminal work with semi-religious and semi-educational work defeats the aims and purposes I of the juvenile law. in the opinion of ! those interested in its enactment. Those Who Married Old Soldiers Sine 1875 May Now Draw I'cn slorvt Old Law Amended. Changes In the cat of the state leg islature affecting penalons of Confederate soldiers and their widows will enable a larger group to draw money In June. 1921. If they file their application through John 11. Cathey. clerk of Huncomtve county suoerlor court, it became known yesterday, when "an act to regulate the : sloners," and "an act to amend section S160 of the consolidated statutes relating to the classification of pensions for sol diers and widows" came Into official recognition. During the recent special session of the state legislature there was no much interest in the suffrage problem anil con sideration of the revaluation act limita tion, the concessions to the old soldiers and thoir widows gained little atten tion. One of the changes provides that women who married Confederate solldnra before 1875 are eligible for pension. Those who married since 1868 have not l.n ellirlhln In the uast. Another change raises the limitation In section MM from tuu 10 tj.uuu. First collections Including the addl. tional money will be made in June, Mr Cathey states.
