CHILD CARE IN NORTH CARO
LINA.
\
Before 1917 North Carolina had done
ittle toward solving the problems of des
titute, neglected and delinquent chil
dren but we have made, wonderful prog
ress in the past 10 years. In fact the
progress has been so unusual and s d
marked that North Carolina is one of the
three States selected by the Children’s
Bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Labor for a study of county pro
grams of child care, the results of which
have just been published under the title,
'‘Public Child-Caring Work in Selected
Counties of Minnesota, North Carolina
and New York.”
It has been proved conclusively that
organization of child-caring and child
protective work with the county as a
unit makes it possible to reach rural
children, as well as city children, and
the plan is attracting country-wide in
terest.
It was found for instance, that chil
dren are faring far better under the coun
ty child-welfare or public welfare boards
;n Minnesota, North Carolina and New
York than they did before such boards
were created. Discussing the changes
brought about in the State, a report ot
the U. S. Department of Labor, Chil
dren's Bureau, says:
Before 1917 a juvenile delinquent in
North Carolina who was convicted of
the offense with which he was charged
was sent to the chain gang to work on
the roads and to live the adult of
fenders in the road camps. A girl of
fender was sent usually to the almshouse
where the poor of all ages and classes,
And sometimes even the insane; were com
mitted. Blind and lame .children had
nothing done for them. Family welfare
agencies existed in a few cities and church
and private societies helped as best they
could, but there was no statewide pro
gram for child protection, The problems
of children in need of special care were
little understood either by the officials or
by the people of the various communi
ties.
The adoption in 1917 of a state-wide
system of public welfare including, a
broad but centralized and definite child
caring program with the county as the
unit of administration introduced a new
era in the protection of children in North
Carolina. This system is now state-wide,
reaching into each of the 100 counties.
It provides for the co-operation of the
State and the counties through-State and
county boards of charges and public
welfare, and county superintendents of
wefare who must have certificates of
qualifications issued by the state board.
By 1926 full-time superintendents of pub
lic welfare, 7 of whom had assistants,
were employed in 51 counties. In 8
- counties there were part-time superin
tendents, and in 41 the superintendents
of schools acted, as superintendents of
public welfare.
Analyzing the outstanding features of
the North Carolina system, the report
says: “There was a greater degree of in
terrelation and co-ordination in the work
of the various state and county depart
ments than is found in many other states.
The heads of all state departments met
together as a governor’s council which
had a definite function, so that the state
departments were brought into very
close relation. The care of the poor, the
school attendance, juvenile-court work
and the control of child labor were inti
mately associated and interwoven in a
most interesting fashion.”
Among the activities of the county
boards which need further development
~ the report lists the care of young unmar
ried mothers, for whom, as yet, little pro
vision has been made, and child placing
and supervision, one of the most difficult
branches of child care. The law author
izes the State Board of Charities and
Public Welfare to undertake the placing
and supervision of dependent children in
V foster homes, but the board has been
unable to do this work on account of in
adequate staff. Many of the county sup
erintendents of public welfare were plac
ing children in foster homes within their
own territory, but it was felt that much
closer investigation of conditions before
placement and more thorough supervis
ion after placement were necessary to
insure the welfare of the' children, par
ticularly in a state where children have
minimum protection against labor. This
need had been fully realized by the State
Board of Charities and Public Welfare,
which hoped to obtain appropriations to
develop this work in the near future.
hospitals.
Dr. W. S. Rankin says that there are
49 counties in the state that have no hos
pital iacilities at all. Dr. Rankin knows
the hospital situation as no other man in
the state knows it, and if there is one we
should listen to it is Dr. Rankin. The
facts will also show, as many of us feel
that we know, that of the fifty-one coun
ties that do have some hospital facili
ties there is a sad lack oLsuflficiency to
meet the demands. In these fifty-one
there are but few we would sav, that
have anything like adequate hospitaliza
tion, and to the end that there may be
a.bettered condition Dr. Rankin and
others are busily engaged—Salisbury
Post.
In the fifty-one counties which have
hospital facilities of some kind we have
an idea that there is a lack of charity
beds. That seems to us one of the
greatest needs of the State.
It is impossible, we havo been told by
hospital experts, for private hospitals to
operate at a profit when they maintain
charity wards. That is the reason a
number of former private hospitals have
been changed so as to benefit from the
Duke Foundation Fund. There was the
desire to aid persons who could not aid
themselves, but the desire was a costlw
one, in some instances causing hospital
failures. ;
This trouble has been overcome in
some counties and cities by appropria
tions by the cities and counties. Under
this plan the hospital offers eight or
twelve charity beds; as the case may de
mand, and the city or county makes an
annual appropriation to cover their ex
pense. That plan works well and could
be followed in other counties with profit.
There should not be a county in
wealthy North Carolina without hospital
facilities. Neither should there be one
without facilities for charity cases.
HE HAS THE RIGHT, BUT—
Raleigh’s race warfare has about sub
sided and George Rjissos has won hi§
point. Russos, a Greek, purchased a lot
in the so-called fashionable Hayes-Barton
development and outlined plans for a
modern home there. There was insistent
and immediate complaint from the resi
dents already there. They didn’t want
to have a Greek in their midst.
Os course Russos had the law with him
and there was no way to keep him from
building a house where he wanted to.
He is a naturalized American and his
children were born in America and are
classified as American children. His rep
utation could not be assailed and he had
the money to pay for his house. What
could the “fashionables” do?
R-X«sos has won the right to the home,
we repeat, but will he be wise to build in
the Hayes-Barton development? Can he
be satisfied without happiness and can he
have happiness without friendships?
These are questions not covered by the
law but they are important ones to the
prospective builder. What will it profit
Russos and his children to have a house
in a fashionable development if there are
to be no friends?
He has the right to build where he
wishes, but we hope he won’t go where
he is not wanted. We are for the Greek
in this controversy, and for that reason
we hope now that he has won his point
at law he will go build somewhere else,
where there will be something finer to
be gained. We hope he will build at
some spot where there will be friends for
his children, for his wife and for himself.
What will it profit Russos to build the
finest house in Haynes-Barton and not
have a friend to cross its threshold?
NO GUNS.
Mr. Wade H. PhiUips, director of the
department of conservation and develop
ment, announces that there will be no
flourishing of arms nor any gun play in
the enforcement of the new game laws of
the State. .
Although admitting that the law, by
designing the wardens as peace officers,
gives authority for carrying pistols, the
director declares that.it will be the policy
of the administration to have the wardens
enfore its provisions, except in extreme
cases, without arms.
“We want our officers to work on the
idea of law observance rather than em
phasizing enforcement as the primary
consideration. <For the taw to be com
pletely successful and to bring the re
sults that are desired, we must have the
co-operation and support of the public,”
he continued, “and therefore, our main
objectives will be along educational lines.
“It is our purpose to develop a force
that will have the whole-hearted support
of the public and a group of officers with
the highest morale. We must get the
people to realize that the name, fish, or
forest,law violator, such as one who hunts
and fishes without a license or who de
liberately or carelessly fires the woods,
the poacher, the game or fish hog, or
any one who violates the law is an enemy
to the public. We would like to have
pubic sentiment behind us to such an
extent that those who are inclined not to
observe the dictates of constituted au
thority will not dare to do so because of
the scorn of his neighbor.
“Wild game is the property of all of
the peoeple of the state and every one,
especially those who love the out-of
doors and wild life, owes a duty in help
ing to preserve and perpetuate these nat
ural resources.”
OUT FOR SMITH.
Judge Tam C. Bowie, one of the Emer
gency Judges recently appointed by Gov
ernor McLean, and Col. T. L. Kirkpat-
rick, well known Charlotte attorney and
a prospective candidate for the United
Spates Senate, have come out this Jvefck
for Governor A1 Smith.
That may set to thinking those persons
who feel that Governor Smith is losing
ground. Colonel Kirkpatrick and Judge
Bowie are drys, Protestants and among
the best known Democrats in North
Carolina. Judge Bowie is'counsel for,
the North Carolina Bible League and the
Colonel is a Presbyterian of prominence.
Certainly it cannot be charged that
Judge Bowie and Colonel Kirkpatrick
are “wet.” There is no evidence to this
effect in their past conduct and each de
clares he thinks. Governor Smith will
enforce the prohibition law as well as
any other law. Judge Bowie adds that
certainly it should be as easy to enforce
the dry laws under Governor Smith as
they are being enforced now.
Judge Bowie favors Governor Smith
for the simple reason that he thinks he
and no one else can be elected by the
Democrats. That is the reason al
so, why Colonel Kirkpatrick favors the
Empire State Chief Executive. They
have looked the field.over and have not
been able to see any other candidate with
a chance of election.
That fact may make Democrats in the
South lean to the popular Governor.
There are many people who feel that the
party in the South will suffer if Govern
or Smith is elected, but just the same
they favor his nomination because in
their opinion he has a better chance than
anybody else to be elected.
Governor Smith is saying nothing
about the Presidency, and his friends are
talking less, but just the same he is
growing in power all the time. There is
no public Smith boom but there’s <a Smith
boom just the same.
WOULD AID THE FARMERS.
President Brooks, of North Carolina
State College, has outlined what he terms
an “Agricultural Program for North Car
olina Farmers,” some details of which
have been carried in this paper from our
Raleigh Bureau.
The Gastonia Gazette expresses the
hope that the program will prove of great
benefit, declaring “it is high time the
farmers were asserting themselves' and
demanding rights and privileges so long
enjoyed by others and denied them. For
years the farmer has been the goat. Ev
ery other industry has prospered. Leg
islation has favored the industrialist and
the artisan, but it has left the farmer high
and dry.”
The farmer should assert himself, as
The Gazette says, That’s been his chief
trouble. The * industrialist has power
because he makes demands. The laborer
organizes and makes demands that get
attention. The farmer though, tries to
do it alone, and that gets him nowhere.
Wages as a whole have increased in
recent years but the earnings of the
•farmer have not increased. Statistics of
the federal department of
show that “the American farmer has
slipped back in pace in his income in
1926. Whereas the average farmer real
ized a net return of $1,927 in 1925, he got
but $1,138 in 1926. And while his re
ceipts were on the decline, his expenses
remained about. the same, so that his
cash balance dwindled proportionately,
based upon the records of 13,475 iarm
ers,” and the agricultural department re
port gives these figures :
“The average size of the farms report
ing for 1926 was 315 acres, with an aver
age investment of $16,308. Average
gross receipts were $2,448, consisting of
$926 from crop sales, $894 from sales of
live stock, $589 from sales of live-stock
products and $39 from miscellaneous
sales.
“Average current cash expenses in
1926 totaled $1,473, consisting of $386
for hired labor, $242 for livestock bought,
$232 for feed, $73 for fertilizer, S4B for
seed, $lB3 for taxes, $l3O for machinery
and tolls and $179 for miscellaneous
items.
“Receipts less cash expenses averaged
$9 *5, in addition to which these farmers
used home-grown food products valued
at an average of $282. The value of fuel
and house rent was not reported. On
the other hand, no allowance haa been
made in the expense items for the labor
of the farmer and his family, which was
estimated by the farmers at an average
of $779. '
“The $975 represented all the cash the
average owner-operator had to pay his
living expenses, take care of debts and
make improvements.
The reported an increase of
$l5B in inventory values, which figure
added to the cash balance of $975, made a
farm net return of $1,133. Out of this
amount $215 was paid as interest on in
debtedness and $l2B was sp<*nt for im
provements.”
WANT TAX RATE REDUCTION.
Property owners in Cabarrus have re
ceived their assessment notices from the
tax assessors and unless there is a reduc
tion in the tax rate there will be general
dissatisfaction.
The county tax assessor has not made
public the total valuation placed or to
be placed on the tax books this year, but
inquiry from many individuals brings
the information that there has been a
general increase in valuations, with
THE CONCORD TIMES
marked increases in some instances.
There have been decreases too, but the
►increases *have been more general and
more striking, and certainly the new as
sessments should result in a big jump
in the total.
county departments are seek
ing increased appropriations and there
is talk in some quarters that these ap
propriations if- granted will make a re
duction in the tax rate impossible. We do
not want to see the county become stale
or backward but there is a general de
mand for a reduction and it is the duty of
every county official to study closely th^
requests submitted before deciding oiv
the budget and the rate.
In some instances property has been
trebled in valuation by the assessors. In
many instances there have been
increases of from 50 to 70 per cent, .in
the valuations. These increases no doubt
are justified, but the people know they
have beep made and there will be dissat
isfaction unless there is a tax reduction
and a general explanation of expendi
tures.
We repeat, we do not know what in
crease the total will show but we are
convinced it will be an increase Os cer
tainly 20 per cent., .and maybe 25 per
cent. We should be conservatively gen
erous with our appropriations but' we
should be careful not to include in the
budget anything that can be left out. We
are experimenting, as it were, with the
budget, and it will be the part of wisdom
to move slowly until the plan has been
tested out.
The tax rate problem should be studied
carefully by the city officials also, and we
understand it is. It is rumored that the
city officials will make every effort pos
sible to affect a reduction in the city’s
rate for the next year.
TYPHOID INCREASING IN STATE.
Typhoid fever is on the increase in the
State, according to figures compiled by
the State Health Department. The to
tal so far.this year is below the 5-year
average, it is true, but as the same time
the total represents quite an increase
over last year.
There have been but few cases of the
disease reported in Cabarrus and there
should be but few more. The typhoid
serum makes one practically immune
from the disease, and since it can be se
cured free from the county health de
partment there is no excuse in any one
not taking it.
The scarcity of typhoid cases in Ca
barrus no doubt is due to the county-wide
campaigns conducted each year by the
health department. Dr. D. G. Caldwell,
the county health officer, and his aides
have been conducting such a campaign
for the past several weeks, with the re
sult that the serum has been given to
more than 4,000 persons. In addition to
these, there are other thousands who
were inoculated last year and the year
before.
There is no excuse for typhoid fever.
It has been proved time and time again
that the serum makes immune 99 out of
every 100 persons taking it. We hope
every man, woman and child in Cabar
rus not inoculated within the past three
years will take the treatment at once.
ANOTHER WORTHY DUKE GIFT.
K**"
Benjamin N. Duke seems to be spend
ing a great part of his time now in choos
ing worthy institutions that need finan
cial help. Hardly a week passes with
out announcement that the millionaire
has given generously to some school,
Church, hospital or other institution that
is carrying on work for humanity.
The Stonewall Jackson Manual Train
ing and Industrial Schoo here is the lat
est institution to know the joy of Mr.
Duke s fortune, he having forwarded to
the trustees of the school a check for
$5,000 to be spent as they deem best.
We take this opportunity to congrat
ulate the school upon its ability, by ser
vice and constructive work, to win the
appreciation and confidence of so many
able and outstanding people. We dare say
that no institution in the State in so short
a time has developed and grown into such
a superb plant as the Jackson Training
School. It appears beyond doubt that
the officials of the school have made a
most wonderful success in the wise use
of the appropriations, gifts and donations
with which it has been favored from time
to tinie.
We, along with the other friends of
the school, wish to thank Mr. Duke for
his handsome recognition of a most wor
thy institution.
TEXTILE OUTLOOK.
According to news from the Cotton
Textile Bulletin, official organ of the Tex
tile Institute, the textile outlook is good.
June was the first month this year
when sales of standard cotton textiles
for such a period fell below production.
Consumption of staple cotton goods
continues at a high level. Mill positions
at the mid-year are generally sound.
In a sense the figures for production
and sales during June were not a sur
prise. Sustained demand and relatively
low prices of raw material have exerted
a strong influence 6n production sched
ules since the first of the year.
One of the strongest features of the
statistics gathered by the association is
the position indicated by unfilled orders.
Mills have turned the first half of the
year with the largest volume of unfilled
yardage #in many years.
Almost without exception summer
months in the past have been periods of
slack business. This year the immediate
prospect is different. Summer sched
ules in mills have been made on the basis
of large advance orders for which raw
material was purchased several months
ago. To this extent the recent advance
in the price of raw cotton seems to have
been anticipated.
LIGHT AND POWER REDUCTION.
Several weeks ago members of the
water and light board of Concord decid
ed that the rate on domestic power could
be reduced,' and accordingly a 20 per
cent, cut was authorized. At that time
Mayor C. H. Barrier said the board hop
ed to be able to make a reduction on all
classes, of electric power at a later date,
and the promise has ben fulfilled. A 10
per cent, cut in the rate on light and
power has been ordered, effective Sep
tember first.
Th board has gone further. It has or
dered elimination of water meter rents
and authorized a reduction in water rates
to consumers using 200,000 gallons Or
more a month.
The watei" and light board has been
making a profit and members of the board
are to be commended for parsing this
profit on to the public. The new rates
will mean a saving to the public of about
$20,000 a year.
City officials are determined to correct
storm sewer evils in the city and they
should begin this work as soon as possi
ble. There are at several street intersec
tions in the city pipes so improperly laid
that water congregates about them in
great abunflanee, reaching a depth of
several years and the officials are to be
commended for their determination to
remedy.such conditions without further
delay.
THE FARMERS’ PROBLEMS.
Winston-Salem Sentinel.
Under the title “Business Men Must Study Farm
Problems,” the Manufacturers Record delineates
the problems of the farer with a brevity and
accuracy that will appeal to the farmer, at least,
and should also appeal to the business men re
gardless of the interest he may represent. The
editorial is so well written that it is well worth
reprinting. Here it is:
"The farmer who plows and sows and reaps
is carrying on a business just as vital to the wel
fare of the country as that of the railroads, the
public service corporations or other interests; but
the farmer feels that he is not given a fair show.
He knows that the railroads are permitted by
Governmental authority to charge a freight rate
that will yield a fair profit on their investment.
He knows that public service corporations are
protected by State and municipal authorities to
the point where they are permitted to earn a fairly
large profit on their investment. He knows that
industrial interests, when the market will not
absorb their output on a profitable basis, can shut
down their plants and not be forced to run at a
loss. But the farmers knows he does not receive
any direct or indirect guarantee as to the profit
on his business, although he feels that railroad and
industrial and banking securities are no more
sacrosanct than his business.
“Unlike the railroads which are permitted to
charge a freight rate yielding a profit, or the
management of industrial corporations which can
close their plants at any moment however great
may be the hardship, the farmer must plow* and
sow often six months of a year in advance of i the
reaping, and he cannot, therefore, shut down his
plant, nor can he call upon the Government for
Federal aid.
“It is true that the mercantile business must
operate under somewhat similar conditions; and
yet it has to take no such risks as do the farmers.
The professional man has no Governmental as
sistance in his operations. Nevertheless, the farmer
feels that if the railroads and, the industrial inter
ests can appeal to Congress for protection to their
investments, he must in some way have a right
to do the same thing; but how this can be brought
about is a problem which has not yet been solved.
Its importance, however, demands the most care
ful study of the business pebple, the industrial
leaders and the railroad managers of the country,
not only for their future safety against agrarian
legislation, but for the broadest prosperity of all
interests.
“There can be no. permanent prosperity for
railroad and industrial interests unless there is
prosperity for agriculture. Too long hajpe the
farmers been ignored, and at times berated. Too
long have thi newspapers and the cartoonists pic
tured the farmer as a ‘hayseed.’ Too long have
the real and serious problems of farm life been
ignored or put aside by men of affairs. That
situation must be changed. The farmer must have
his inning, or there will be trouble for all.”
IS PROHIBITION A FAILURE?
% "
Hickory Record.
There seems to be an ever growing sentiment in
some parts of our country that prohibition is a
complete failure and that it were better that the
nation repeal and abolish the Volstead law. It
is argned that the law is not being enforced; that
owing to the varied classes who deal in whiskey
and use it, it is impossible to break up the traffic
even if the officers are vigilant and honest in their
attempts to break it up. It is claimed, however,
the law is carelessly enforced, if enforced at all.
In addition, it is alleged that pubGc sentiment
is either in favor of the whiskey dealer, or is too
anemic and timorous to assert itself against it.
Officers themselves complain that citizens do very
little to cooperate with them in the eradication
of the rum runner and blockader. The situation
undoubtedly does look bad.
If the people of the United States earnestly
desire prohibition, the law can be made more ef
fective and the measure will become a success. If
ah earnest, sincere effort is made to enforce the
law by honest, morally upright officers, backed by
a united public sentiment, it is an impossibility
for prohibition laws to fail in their purpose. But
if the public remains indifferent, if the officers fail
to do their duty, if judges release grave offenders
the payment of a small fine, prohibition can
be nothing else but a failure. And the effect of
having a law on the statute books that is not en
forced is a dangerous one. A successful evasion
of one law constitutes an invitation to defy all
laws. It is in the hands of the American people
to decide whether personal liberty shall degenerate
into personal indulgence. The public sentiment
rather than Congress or the Supreme court will
interpret the laws on the statute books.
