Forsyth County commissioners and the Winston-Salem Board of Aldermen have voted $21,000 for erection at the Jackson Training School of a building for delinquent boys from the county and city, the work of construction to begin at once. At their meeting recently the commissioners ordered that the county’s half share of the fund be appropriated immediately. Under this plan only delinquent colored boys will be cared for in the reformatory at Winston-Salem. At present youths of the two races are housed in the same institution.
