Transylvania to Have
Welfare Board
The last legislature having created the offices of County
Board of Public Welfare and Superintendent of Public Welfare to be filled by
the County Board of Education and Commissioners in joint session, the aforesaid
board entered into the election of a county Superintendent on July 7 and as
provided for a small county, the board elected A.F. Mitchell, Superintendent of
Public Instruction and agreed to provide an assistant when necessary in order
to carry out the provisions of the law.
The County Superintendent of Public Welfare is to serve
without pay, save that the aforesaid boards are to pay his assistant for the
necessary time, presumably for only the period of the compulsory school law
which covers the length of the entire session.
The County Board of Public Welfare, which is to advise with
the Superintendent of Public Welfare, is composed of the following:--Rev. J.C.
Seagle, Chairman; Miss Annie Gash, Secretary, and Rev. J.R. Hay. The new
officers are part of the machinery of the juvenile court of this county of
which Mr. N.A. Miller is judge. The juvenile court has the enforcement of the
compulsory school law or in its jurisdiction among other very important
matters. The attention of the reader is called to the act of the last
legislature creating the aforesaid offices. The enforcement of the compulsory
law is a sure thing now under the juvenile court and Superintendent of Public
Welfare.
