The Concord Daily Tribune IA STUDY OF CHILD , | WELFARE AMONG NEGROES I Will Be Made Possible Through the Generosity of Julius Rosenwald. Tribune Rurcnu Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, May 14. —A study of child welfare among negroes in North Caro lina will be made posable through the genorosit.v of Mr. Julius KosewaM, of Chicago, provided that his gift of $5,- <*oo may lie matched by a similar amount within the State. Mr. Hosen wnld has been interested in the work which the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare has been doing among* negroes, and Uns offered this sum ttWbe used in making a study among negro children. An effort is being made by Mrs. Kale Burr John son, commissioner of public welfare, to raise aq additional $5,000, so that this work may be carried out. The prjiose of the study wil be to find out what becomes of defective, dependent and delinquent negro chil dren in North Carolina. Some of these children are being eared for in various institutions. But since the combined capacity of the Oxford Color ed Orphanage, the Morrison Training School, the Etimid School, and the Negro ward at the State Orthopedic Hospital is less than 500, the study will make it possible to determin where the other dependent, neglected and de fective negro children are and how they are being absorbed into the popu lation of the State. The study Wijl be carried on in Var ious sections j of the State such as industrial centers, rural districts, places where migratory negroes are becoming quite a problem. It will include housing conditions, the physi cal and mental conditions of the child, his neighborhood environment. It will show how the laws on our statute hooks for the protection of all children apply to children. It will, in short, present as complete a picture of the dependent delinquent and de fective negro child ns it is possible to get. Through uccurate information con cerning the idividual child, it will show where the State and the com munity are evading responsibility and will suggest more effective methods «f treatment. By showing how much it costs society not to provide adequately for the dependent, the delinquent, and the defective, it will help existing in stitutions to .gain normal capacity, „, ( .i to funcion more successfully, 'it wm provide authoritative information for agencies and individuals interested in better race relations. An appeal is being made at once to attempt to raise $5,000 in order to begin the study as soon as possible. Already the officials of the North (‘arolina Mutual I3fe Insurance Com pany have promised not less than $5,000 and the North Carolina Federa tion of Women's Club has pledged SIOO.

May 14.—Although the new motor vehicle laws do not got into effect until July 11th people should begin familiarizing themselves with them before that time, otherwise they arc likely to have some trouble after the laws become effective, according to Sprague Silver, chief of the au tomobile license bureau, and 11.

Attention of automobile drivers is especially called to the fact that while on July Ist the speed limit on the highways will be increased to 45 miles an hour, that the legislature has also materially increased the penalty for reckless driving. Among the new provisions regarding reckless driving are the following: Sentence cannot be suspended by the court, as heretofore, making it mandatory that ail sentences be served or fines paid as imposed by the law. Penalty for first offense is a tine of from $25 to $1(X). or from five to ninety days in jail, or both, depending upon the seriousness of the offense and the discertion of the court.

A further check against reckless driving is in the statute that permits a judge or the State license bureau to revoke licenses entirely in cases .of reckless driving. And by means of another new provision, the motor lic/nse bureau yill be enabled t
