New Welfare Tasks
There are more than a hundred juvenile court judges in the
state, all of whom will be called upon to apply the modern principles of
salvage and discipline to children in need of special care.
As many as possible of them will be on hand to hear the
subject discussed by people who know and to ask scores of direct questions that
puzzle them. The same is true of the 100 county superintendents of public
welfare, upon whose good judgment, knowledge and devotion the success of the
juvenile courts depend, as well as the enforcement of the compulsory school
attendance law.
There is important new health legislation which will be gone
over thoroughly. There are the many problems relating to county government, new
school laws, new road laws, and the vastly important new tax laws.
Every one of these depends upon the mutual work of county
and state officials. Here for the first time in the history of North Carolina,
county and state officials will come together as such and in mass to advise,
counsel, learn each other’s difficulties and ascertain what can be done for
mutual helpfulness.
Not only this, but it will put these people in close touch
with the University and out of the first council others are certain to follow
and eventually to give large expansion to various forms of university extension
work.
It is to be a locking up and a tying together of workers and
forces for groundwork development in the state, and the people of the state are
to be congratulated upon its conception and its certain success.
