VCJICQUITFY WELFARE DpflM
By GRACE KNOWLES, Superintendent '
Another service which your county
welfare department offers children is
to help in social adjustment. This is
done through working with the fam
ilies directly, Foster and Boarding
Home Placements (which I have dis
cussed in a former article), and
Training Schools. This article is di
rected toward the latter as I feel
that you would like to know the
"whys" and "whats" concerning these
schools.
The training schools for children in
North Carolina are designed not as
penal institutions but as training cen
ters where children, who, by reason
of poor environment or inner malad
justment, haVe failed to meet the
standards ' of behavior approved by
the community as a whole, may be
trained to fit more adequately into
the social pattern.
Many persons still think of these
schools for juvenile delinquents in
terms of the Old ideas of reformator-'
ies a concept which has no place
in modern methods of handling delin
quency. These training schools exist
for two reasons to give the youth
ful offender a chance to develop in a

new and carefully controlled environ
ment, and to give an opportunity for
working with the children's family
during their absence In order to pro
vide better horn conditions to. which
they may return.
North Carolina's program ranks
with the best and most modern in
the nation. There are now five per
manent training schools. A sixth is to
be built soon for Negro girls, thus
giving the boys and girls of both
races equal facilities a goal which
has been sought for more than a
third of a century.
As probation officer for the Juven
ile Court, the Superintendent of Pub
lic Welfare is usually called upon to
make the social studies on children
coming into court and frequently to
make recommendations as to plans
for them.
Frequently commitment to an in
stitution is unnecessary as adjust
ment can be made in the community.
This is highly desirable, but if no ad
justment can be made the training
schools are a resource which we may
huse.
While in a training school the
youths are instructed in such rudi
mentary branches of knowledge as is
suited to their ages and capacities and
are taught useful trades. They are, if
possible, to be taught "the precepts of
the Holy Bible, good moral conduct,
how to work and be industrious.
They receive industrial, religious, re
creational, and health training.
Children coming before the juven
ile courts in the counties, whom it has
been decided will benefit from a per
iod at the training institutions, are
placed in charge of the county super
intendent of public welfare for trans
portation to the school. Before any
boy or girl is accepted at an institu
tion, a thorough case study is made
and complete information filed with
the school by the home welfare de
partment The school, in turn, sends
reports on the child's progress under
school regulations to the County Wei
fare Superintendent who is thus in
a position to work with the family
in preparation for the return of the
boy or girl to the community.
Without this transfer of informa
tion the school would be handicapped
in handling the child because of in
sufficient knowledge of his case.
Without it the welfare agency would
not be able to try to correct detri
mental home conditions before the
youth is released from the institu
tion. Without any change in factors that
contributed originally to the youth's
delinquency, the time spent at the
training school would often become
valueless. By proper modification of
the home influences and preparation
of the family to assume its responsi
bility for the conduct of the child.
the months of institutional experience
can be solidified into a pattern that
develops in adulthood into upstand
ing, law-abiding citizenship.
Uespite the length of time a child
remains in a training school, he still
requires skillful help when he re
turns to his own home. In North
Carolina the local agency that works
with the family in preparing it to
assume responsibility for helping the
child make a good adjustment is the
County Welfare Department, and it
must follow up the program of train
ing received at the school.
The State's facilities for re-direc
tion of youthful delinquents, require
more adequate personnel and physi
cal improvement. However, what is
needed just as much is a thorough
understanding by the people of each
community that a term at a training
scnool is not alone sufficient for a
delinquent youth. There must also be
work in the community and with the
family to alleviate the causes that
led originally to the child's malad
justment and antisocial behavior. The
child must be accepted back in the
community, not as an ex-delinquent
but as a future citizen. He most be
given work and must be trusted. Ju
venile delinquents result when com
munities do not make adequate pro
vision for meeting the needs of child
ren and youth. The level of any com
munity can be determined by social
adjustment of its children.
