To His Excellency Honorable E D Rivers Governor of the State of Georgia Sir
The fiscal year ending June 30 1940 was marked by three important progressive steps taken by the State Department of Public Welfare
First of the steps was the removal of the offices from the Hurt Building to commodious quarters in the new State Office Building located on Mitchell Street opposite the State Capitol
Second was the installation of the Merit System of employment throughout the department in cooperaton with federal authorities
Third was the virtual completion of the building programs at six state eleemosynary institutions which will vastly add to the efficiency of those plants and to the comfort and safety of the people who live in them
When the Welfare Department was first established it was located in quarters in the Hurt Building Here space amounting to 12000 square feet was available but because of the magnitude of the work handled by the department and the comparatively large personnel conditions were crowded
In February 1940 the removal was made to the new State Office Building which had just been completed for several departments of the state governments This move brought 25000 square feet of floor space for the department and even with this addition there is still some slight congestion
Preparations for the installation of the merit system required several months but the machinery was perfected during this fiscal year ready to handle the applications for positions at the proper time
The Board of Public Welfare in conference with federal officials and other agencies interested formulated rules for establishing the merit system Under these rules the positions to be filled are grouped in three sections which were publicly announced
One announcement covers positions to be filled in the Administration Accounting and Statistics divisions A second covers professional public assistance appointments while the third lists clerical stenographic and typing positions
Georgia may well be proud of the improvements made in the building programs at the eleemosynary institutions
For years these institutions have needed money for new buildings renovation of old buildings and installation of new furniture and fixtures
In the six institutions under the jurisdiction of the department great improvements have been made
At the State Hospital at Milledgeville 823228 has been spent under direction of the department while the State Hospital Authority has spent 4250000 As a result new buildings of the most modern type have been erected and room provided for patients living in crowded conditions in the old dilapidated structures The improvements at this institution are nothing short of amazing
Almost an entirely new plant was provided for the Boys Training School at Milledgeville through expenditures amounting to 973900 A new school building a new receiving building six new dormitories for white boys and a dining room kitchen and central heating plant were erected A new school and dormitories for negro boys also were built The old buildings were renovated throughout

At Cave Spring the School for the Deaf also went through a transformation The old main building was remodeled and renovated A new dormitory for girls was erected For primary students a modern school building was constructed which will enable the students to eat sleep play and attend classes all in the same building A dormitory for boys was remodeled while improvements were made to two other buildings
A large farm located about a mile from the Cave Spring school was purchased for use as a school for negro deaf children Here a new school building as well as a new dormitory were built and other improvements made Total expenditures for white and negro school imporvements amounted to 55817497
Two main buildings at the Training School for Girls located ten miles from Atlanta were remodeled and renovated A new receiving building was built which has every modern convenience A new water system was installed and other improvements made the total expenditure amounting to 156791
At the Gracewood Training School for Mental Defectives a new hospital was built new water tank erected and other improvements made that cost a total of 128000
General remodeling and improvement program at the Academy for the Blind at Macon cost 105400 The white boys and girls dormitories were rebuilt a new dining room kitchen and laundry and a new central heating system installed The negro unit was remodeled and part of it made fire proof
All forms of relief both emergency and permanent are supervised by the State Department of Public Welfare During the fiscal year ending June 30 1940 the department administered directly and indirectly benefits amounting to 3505081417
Besides all forms of relief the Department supervises and controls the public assistance program of Aid to the Needy Aged Aid to the Blind and Aid to Dependent Children and a Crippled Childrens program It also directs certification of applicants for Works Progress Administration jobs for enrollment in Civilian Conservation Corps for assistance under the National Youth Administration for general relief and for surplus commodities
Social security benefits distributed during the year were Old Age Dependent Children and Blind benefits 345578450 Crippled Children benefits 16505304
Of the 345578450 the state provided 145690199 the Federal government provided 165330406 and the counties 34557845
In June 1940 the number of people on the rolls were as follows
Old age 28192
Blind 1111
Children 9840
Old age benefits averaged 801 a month per person the blind averaged 1005 a month per person and dependent children benefits averaged 791 per child and 2042 per family
Since July 1 1937 a total of 117923 applications for Old Age benefits have been received 3532 for the blind and 53128 from dependent children
Applications on file June 30 1940 were Old Age 47674 blind 1209 and dependent children 23422

During the fiscal year 9009 of the total expenditures of the State Department were for Social Security benefits and the State Institutions totaling 669991244 and constituting total expenditures for benefits as distinguished from expenditures for administrative operations 468 of the total expenditures represented grants to the counties for the States participation in County Departments administrative expenses leaving 523 for administrative operations of the State Department However this 523 represents payments for administrative purposes from State County and Federal funds and deductions of the Federal contributions for administration of 18945442 which were utilized for State Department administrative costs and contributions from the counties of 2174064 for commodity distribution expenses from the total State Department administrative cost of 38963663 leaves 17844157 as the net cost to the State for administrative operations of the State Department or as expressed in percentage 239 of total expenditures

The combined net cost to the State for administrative operations of the State
Department 17844157 and administrative grants to the 159 County Departments 34819743 is 52663900 or 707 when expressed in percentage to total expenditures of the State Department
Returning to the foregoing stated net cost to the State of 239 for administrative operations of the State Department consideration must be given to the fact that this administrative cost percentage represents the cost to the State in administering all activities of the State and County Departments of Public Welfare whereas the total expenditures used in establishing this administrative cost ratio do not include benefits paid directly by the Federal Government under the strictly Federal programs Administrative operations include cost to the State Department for statewide supervision of certifications for strictly Federal programs administered by the Surplus Commodity Corporation Works Progress Administration Civilian Conservation Corps and National Youth Administration and also the States share of expenses for statewide distribution of surplus commodities as shown in the foregoing tabulation of administrative operations
In order to obtain a true picture of the cost to the State and the 159 Counties for benefits provided through the facilities of the Department of Public Welfare consideration must necessarily be given not only to benefits made available by the State Department but also to those benefits made available by cooperation with the Federal agencies
Benefits paid directly by the Federal Government during the past fiscal year under those strictly Federal programs in which the State and County Departments act as certifying agencies amounted to 2835090198 as follows
Surplus Commodities Value Distributed 359220877
W P A Benefits 2109571500
C C C Benefits 197553000
N Y A Benefits 168744821

Combining the total benefits of 669991244 made available directly by the State Department with total benefits of 2835090198 made available by cooperation with the Federal agencies makes total benefits made available through the facilities of the Department of Public Welfare of 3505081442
In addition to the net cost to the State of 52663900 for administrative expenses of the State and County Departments the County Governments expended an additional 34375017 for administrative expenses including administrative cost to the counties of certifications for benefits paid directly by the Federal Government making a total administrative cost to the State and the 159 Counties of 87038917
Against total benefits of 3505081442 the cost to the State and the 159 Counties for administrative operations of the State Department and the County Departments was 87038917 or 25 of total benefits made available
These expenses are exclusive of administrative expenses incurred by the Federal agencies and administrative contributions by the Federal Government but represent the actual cost to the State Government and the County Governments for administrative operations and a percentage comparison with total benefits made available through the facilities of the Department of Public Welfare

PUBLIC ASSISTANCE DIVISION
One of the chief aims of the Public Assistance Division is to render service to people in needthat is to assist those who need relief either through financial grants or through a better understanding of their problems A real effort is made to extend a courteous sympathetic ear to the clients troubles and to help him work out his own problems satisfactorily
E B Romig has said No matter how brilliantly planned the public relief setup may be unless those affected by it understand it the scheme is nothing but a sounding brass and tinkling cymbal The Public Assistance Division has the important task of explaining what relief is all about to the groups who need to know The public taxpayer who puts up the money being spent by our public relief organizations wants to know and is entitled to know just how much of his money is being distributed each month and for what
FOREWORD
Our public relief agencies must define for the taxpayer the principles underlying relief grants and show the principles of estimating a budget deficiencyhow need is determined by size of family and modified by income It would be well for the publicall of usto realize that most of our clients are honorable people that only a small percentage are chiselers It is a delicate business this of giving food

orders or cash to selfrespecting citizens It is an act of grace to be performed only in a Biblically humble and contrite spirit and with an awareness of the dangers of working violence upon the American morale
The public agency has had a long road to travel in its course from the traditions of preElizabethan England up to the present time but with the coming of the Social Security Act America has at last gained some degree of certainty and the beginnings of adequacy for a few categories in public social services It is the public agency which shoulders the major burden of people out of work and people in trouble and it is the public agency created and stabilized by law which will handle these groups of people through the long future
The public welfare worker who sees beyond the immediate problem at hand understands that pauperization is one way that human nature expresses itself under continued unemployment and stress and that there is no place for a critical attitude toward the client Public assistance workers find themselves at crossroads needing all the vision they can master to guide their course in the right direction Helping people in distress is a professional task
Oftentimes the need of an understanding friend and some person to whom one can turn in time of trouble is the real plea of the client Not everyone who applies to the County Welfare office by any means needs monetary relief Most of those who come seeking aid however are in need of something Sometimes it is only a yearning to be heard to talk out the problemto find a friend who is willing to try to help him get a new hold on life True it is that a great deal of the time of the county welfare departments is spent in certifications to the various programs and to the determination of eligibility for the different types of relief but much of the time of a conscientious welfare director cannot be accounted for regardless of the number of time tables she may keep for herself
COUNTY WELFARE DEPARTMENTS
Too much cannot be said of the untiring service rendered by the 159 County Welfare Departments of the State of Georgia The major portion of this years report will be given to the progress being made by the courageous directors in trying to alleviate suffering in their various Georgia communities The County Welfare Directors and their staffs are serving as courageously as any soldiers in the front ranks of the armies To the directors and their staffs and to the five men County Welfare Boards who serve without pay go much of the credit of the success of the welfare program They work untiringly from sun to sun and yet their work is never done Inadequate funds with which to meet the needs of those applying for relief has proved to be a serious handicap and insufficient personnel to perform all of the work required of them by the various agencies has been discouraging to the directors Not more than 10 has been spent for administration of relief in the counties In many of the rural counties of Georgia Georgia being largely an agricultural State the counties are directed by only one member of the staff a directorwho has to serve as stenographer intake interviewer visitor to the homes bookkeeper and statistician She must interview references determine who is eligible for WPA NYA CCC Surplus Commodities Old Age Assistance Aid to the Blind Aid to Dependent Children Crippled Children and others seeking aid who are either too young for Old Age Assistance or too old for Crippled Childrens program

A DAY WITH A COUNTY DIRECTOR
A day with a County Director would be most enlightening to any Georgian who wonders sometimes what the director does with all of her time Many demands are made upon her and she must give a strict accounting of time for the Federal Government pays 50 the State 40 and the County 10 Only about six counties are considered urban in the State of Georgia which include Atlanta Savannah Columbus Macon Augusta and about 15 semiurban communities while the remaining counties are largely rural in population And what are some of the duties of a County Welfare Director The functions are fundamentally the same whether or not she works in an urban or rural community
Human suffering stares her in the face through neighbors doorways regardless of location and she would need to be quintuplets to meet adequately the pressures of the job Always there is the waste of too much haste but then there is so much to be done A few examples are given to illustrate the manifold duties the director has to perform Someone knocks on her door at 600 a m in the morning to report that the father in a family has an acute pain in his side and they need a doctor at onceNo there is not any money with which to pay for same Cant she please get him to the hospital immediately Most often in rural Georgia it is a county in which there is no clinic or hospital and also in most instances no funds in the treasury for general relief so what must the director do On her way to the officfc after arranging for the family she is waved down by a group of officials who ask the director to be sure to see that their road project gets started right away After assuring these persons of her interest and carefully explaining another agencys functions she moves hurriedly on her way to the office to find several clients waiting to see her Some are applying for Surplus Commodities boys wanting to be certified to the CCC Camp but wanting to be assured they will not leave the State or go to waryouths both boys and girls wanting to go to the NYA school persons employable and unemployable wanting to be certified to WPA or wanting to know just when they will be assigned elderly persons whose applications have been filed for Old Age Assistance and havent been able to prove their age bringing an affidavit or Bible to show proof a mother whose husband died a few days ago seeking Aid to Dependent Children a blind person wishing to know how soon he can receive a grant
A telegram is received and there is a request from another State asking that B County make an immediate investigation to see whether or not the Z family will accept a son who is stranded in another State and wishes to be sent home immediately The Z family perhaps lives in the opposite side of the county over almost impassable roads Correspondence from the State Office asks for special reports on two or three cases another letter or two from Congressmen or Senators asking why certain clients have not been given some aid the State Office asking that reinvestigations be made on a number of cases
The Grand Jury is to meet the next day and requests the director to make a detailed report The Missionary Society asks her to make a speech for them at the society that afternoon A crippled child is to be taken to the clinic clothing is to be provided for a family whose house has burned Johnny needs some new glasses layettes are to be furnished for some new babies the lunch room project is to be certified forms and payrolls are to be filled in and sent to the State Office or the money to the clients will not be paid case histories are to be written references are

to be interviewed representatives from various agencies are to be seen an article has been promised to be written for the newspaper and on and on ad infinitum are the demands upon her time The end of the day finds a weary director hundreds of people interviewed an aching heart because all of their needs could not be met some dissatisfied clients who contended they needed help more than their neighbor The thankful old lady who voiced her appreciation for the old age pension was the only bright spot in her day that made life in a way worth living There were so many people who appeared to need relief and yet such few funds To determine eligibility fairly and squarely without discrimination to exercise good judgment and common sense to give aid to those who need it and refrain from giving it to those who do not to interpret the needs of the program as well as its limitations to discuss and utilize hidden or undiscovered resources to treat all courteously and diplomaticallythese are some of the unexaggerated tasks and responsibilities which appear as part of the daily routine of a County Director and her staff
COUNTY WELFARE BOARDS
The County Welfare Boards also are giving their service in the interpretation of relief needs to the communities The Boards meet regularly once a month to pass upon the awards to be paid to the clients for the following month County Welfare Boards also form policies in line with State and Federal regulations They select the Director and the State Office only passes upon the qualifications as agreed upon by a joint plan of the Federal Social Security Board and the State Board of Public Welfare Local County Welfare Boards give unselfishly of their time in cooperating with the Director and her staff in meeting the needs of clients with limited funds Too much cannot be said of the importance of strong County Welfare Boards As a chain is no stronger than its weakest link so a County Department depends greatly upon the strength of its County Welfare Board which is a great asset to the Welfare Program
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
And much needs to be said of the County Commissioners also who have cooperated splendidly in the paying of the 10 of the relief grants and of administration costs In their farsighted manner of paying for certification service through their County Welfare Departments millions of dollars have been brought into the counties through the persons actually assigned to the WPA the boys sending home checks to their families from the CCC the NYA and other federal programs as well as the benefits from the Social Security Program
OTHERS COOPERATING
The extensiveness of the Public Assistance Welfare Program varies of course in the various counties over the State Ministers physicians newspaper editors womens missionary societies Junior Leagues Kiwanis Elks Rotarians Civitans American Legion and other civic religious and fraternal organizations lend their cooperation to the county departments in the location and solution of human relief needs

Department of Public Welfare
PROBLEMS
In the smaller communities fewer resources are available naturally and the ingenuity and initiative of the welfare staff is constantly challenged as how to meet the needs when there are less tangible resources Adjoining counties may vary in their ability to participate financially in the program One strictly farming community may be parallel to an industrial community The mountains in extreme North Georgia counties with practically no farming lands and no colored population present their problem as well as extreme South Georgia communities with heavy swamp lands and heavy colored population The urban and semiurban areas although with more available resources present the problem of the masses which necessitates the planning for food shelter and fuel of large numbers where suitable housing is a real problem
EMERGENCIES
Floods tornadoes drouths are emergencies that sometimes confront the agencies of the various counties
Margaret E Rich once said We recognize that differences of people are assets and that it is upon these that we build societies Difference is a precious thing to the individual and its recognition is one of the contributions that we as case workers have to make to the understanding of human relationships It implies fundamentally that we accept the gifts that each one brings to the common wealth and refrain from any attempt to mold everyone after a single image no matter how fine that image may be
FIELD STAFF
In order to meet the individual needs of clients and counties in as effective a manner as possible and with a view of extending the best service availablethe State has been divided into nine public assistance districts for the purpose of rendering greater assistance to the counties through supervision These districts are supervised by carefully selected and highly qualified supervisors whose chief function is to give guidance to the County Welfare staff in the interpretation of Federal State and local regulations They serve as liaison persons between the state and local departments meeting with County Welfare Boards giving talks at meetings of civic or church groups when requested to do so and giving assistance to county welfare departments in the organization of their work so as to best meet their reliefneeds In order not to spread the butter too thin and to give more adequate relief the District Field Supervisors help the county departments to maintain high standards of efficiency of personnel and assist in planning proper budgeting of families according to their individual needs The Field Supervisors read a sampling of records in every county office preauditing 10 of accepted cases and 5 of rejected cases as a method of assisting county departments in the fairest manner of determining eligibility They assist in the proper verifications of age need and residence They lend their aid in the interpretation of the program to the public and in interviewing representatives of various organizations To help the client help himself and to guide him in the solution of his own problem is a task with which both the field representative and the county directors apply their best knowledge and skill The District Field Supervisor assists in the conducting of appeal hearings and any special investigations at the request of the State Department

NEEDS
What is needed in social work today are procedures tested in the experience of the practitioners on the job No two people are or can be alike and no situations are the same The important thing is how theory and recommended procedures work out in actual practice
Jane Addams said at one time It is hard to prove to the community that efficiency is also tenderness that untrained service results in cruelty and that the last things to depend upon are the vagaries of a selfseeking politician
It is part of our job however to try to understand the viewpoint of politicians as well as always to expect them to understand ours
SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
The Social Security Program in the State of Georgia has proven of great value and as a result monthly social security benefits for the past twelve months amounted to a total of 345578450 241533400 having been spent for Old Age Assistance 91458650 for Aid to Dependent Children and 12586400 to Aid for the Blind
Investigations to determine eligibility were made by the County Welfare Directors and their staffs Oftentimes two neighbors living side by side will apply for relief and while on the surface their needs appear the same after careful review of the situation the amount of home produce the number in the family the health problems in one family which do not appear in the other the inability of relatives to support etc it becomes known that the needs of the two families are not the same To place upon the individual the responsibility of assisting with the proving of his own eligibility is constructive practice
PLAN OF OPERATION BUDGETING
The plan of operation for the county welfare departments is carefully explained in three manuals adopted jointly by the Federal Social Security Board and the State Board of Public Welfare These manuals were revised on January 1 1940 and explain carefully the method of determining eligibility and providing assistance proper budgeting statistical and financial procedures Numerous forms are required on every case certified for relief Very carefully planned budgets are prepared by a State staff budgeting specialist giving monthly food and clothing budgets and minimum cost and other items of need in a normal family group These budgets were prepared after an exhaustive study of retail market prices throughout the State by the Home Economist on the staff
SURPLUS COMMODITY CERTIFICATIONS
Certifications to Surplus Commodities is another function of the Division of Public Assistance 77666 families were certified for commodities by the County Departments of Public Welfare during the fiscal year The School Lunch Program which made possible through the cooperation of the Surplus Commodity Division and the WPA the furnishing of hot lunches to undernourished underprivileged children was an important phase of the certification process of the Department of Public Welfare 2705 lunch rooms were certified to receive these commodities the last fiscal year and 280259 children were served
18
Department of Public Welfare
APPEALS
The right of appeal and a fair hearing was given added emphasis to all applicants applying for relief Each client is notified of his right to appeal when his application is passed upon The basis of appeal may be because of the rejection of an application the delay in passing upon the award or because the client feels that the grant is inadequate The State Board makes the final decision in the case based upon the transcriptive evidence presented at the hearing A client may bring as many witnesses as he chooses to the appeal hearing 77 appeals were heard last year
TRANSFERS
One of the most difficult problems confronting the department is the proper consideration and handling of transfers from one county to another over the State Quite often for bona fide reasons and through no fault of their own aged persons have to move from one sons or daughters house to anothersometimes just over the county line Because of Georgias tenant farming arrangement there is much of this moving about around Christmas time The law provides the right of the client to a transfer from one county to another and the majority of transfers are elderly persons 388 transfers were effected and given careful attention the past fiscal year
WPA CERTIFICATIONS
Apart from the Social Security Program or the three types of special public assistance Old Age Assistance Aid to the Blind and Aid to Dependent Children the program which requires the most time of the directors and which brings in the most money to the counties is certification to the WPA Last year expenditures in benefits alone for the WPA amounted to 2109571500 31297 persons were certified as of June 26th A cooperative agreement was reached between the State Department of Public Welfare and Work Projects Administration whereby the Department of Public Welfare is responsible for the certification of all new cases whereas the WPA maintains responsibility for cases who previously worked on WPA or all recertifications The WPA of course has the responsibility for the assignment of all persons to projects
NYA CERTIFICATIONS
Another very popular program for which the State Department of Public Welfare is the chief certifying agency is the NYA For the year 19391940 168744821 was spent in benefits to youths of Georgia Besides work on local projects many students are given the opportunity to go to school at 16 Residential Projects over the State and to earn while learning Students are given courses in home economics stenography farming mechanical and electrical work et cetera
CCC CERTIFICATIONS
One of the other popular programs in the counties over the State is certification to the CCC The State Department of Public Welfare through the various county directors and welfare departments cooperated in the selection and enrollment of 6940 boys in the CCC during the year
State of Georgia
19
The State Department of Public Welfare is charged with the responsibility of selecting young men between the ages of 1723 inclusive who are unemployed in need of employment and need the educational and other opportunities offered by the CCC and whose families due to financial limitations are not able to provide a comparable experience
The CCC Division of the State Department is required by the CCC to maintain certain records and other files on each boy enrolled in CCC from
Georgia as well as boys enrolled during the past seven years The Division is
required to make certain contacts with the CCC officials charged with the administration of the camps namely camp commanders district commanders and corps area headquarters The Division must also verify numerous requests received from various sources regarding individual cases
The Division is responsible for approving each application as it is submitted from the county departments These applications are filed according to counties and when the quarterly enrollment requisition is received these applications are assembled according to lists sent from the counties The boys are notified where and when
to report for examinations and acceptance Quotas to the respective counties are
given on the basis of the number of boys available at the time the State requisition is received from Washington
Each CCC enrollee received 3000 per month for his services in camp 2200 of which amount is sent home providing he has dependents or deposited with the Chief of Finance of the War Department and turned over to the enrollee when he is discharged During the year families of Georgia enrollees received a total
amount of 197553000
GENERAL RELIEF
General relief in Georgia is designed to care for those persons eligible neither for social security benefits nor for Federal emergency relieffor those persons between the ages of 16 and 65 who are afflicted diseased or for physical reasons unable to take advantage of special types of relief available for normal persons
Financial responsibility for general relief rests entirely with local governmental agencies and neither the State nor the Federal government contribute to the cost of administration or of benefits Appropriations by County Commissions and by municipal governments in the larger centers support all general relief activities 81313 cases received general relief during the fiscal year with a total expenditure of 42939760
CASE REFERRAL SECTION
The Case Referral Section in the State Office handles correspondence from all over Georgia An average of 2500 letters per month are received and answered by this department alone A real effort is made to answer correspondence within twentyfour hours after it is received Letters are carefully read and consideration is given toward answering the actual inquiry of the individual satisfactorily Rooms are maintained in the State Building for the private interviewing of clients who visit the State Office Courteous and patient treatment is given to those wishing to talk

Department of Public Welfare
with someone about their problems Their requests are promptly referred to the various county offices for handling An average of from 15 to 40 interviews are held daily OutofState inquiries are also given as rapid handling as possible
CRIPPLED CHILDRENS PROGRAM
County Welfare Departments are pleased to assist in certifications to the Crippled Childrens Program The tangible results of this program have been very worthwhile
CHILD WELFARE GSES ETC
Cooperation with the Child Welfare Program the registration of clients with the Georgia State Employment Service certifications to institutions and Nursery Schools cooperation with Vocational Rehabilitation and Cancer Control have been other duties performed by the county departments

Real emphasis has been placed upon the rendering of more efficient service to clients through the improvements of standards of personnel from time to time An inservicetraining program through cooperation with the University of Georgia has been maintained whereby the members of the staffs of the various county welfare departments have been given the opportunity to take extension courses during the year and summer courses in field work Leaves of absence have been granted various members of the departments to further their training in accredited schools of social work A source of real gratification is the plan to employ personnel on the basis of fitness for the job This will be made possible by the adoption of the Merit System plan for the selection of employees in Georgia Highly qualified personnel will tend towards economy in government and will assure an improvement in assistance to the disadvantaged persons in Georgia for whom the very program exists
It is well for us to take time to realize that some of the best blood in Georgia is on the relief roll through no fault of their own but because of circumstances beyond their control No one knows what another day will bring forth The pendulum swings to and fro and some persons are up one day and down the next To study the causes of behaviorism and to try to understand that there are often real reasons back of ones actionsmaybe illness discouragement failure to adjust be that as it may our big job is to try to understand each other better and to add some security to the dreary lives of the suffering needy Georgiansthen we shall truly have a happier Georgia because we have rendered service unto the least of these

CRIPPLED CHILDREN DIVISION
Aid to crippled children in the State of Georgia was made possible by an amendment to the State Appropriation Act passed on December 22 1937 This amendment provided for a Crippled Childrens Program to conform with the Federal Law for such services and provided for matching Federal funds allotted to the State for care to indigent crippled children In order to conform to provisions established by the Federal Social Security Act the Georgia Welfare Board and the Director of the Department of Public Welfare were designated as the official State agency charged with the administration of this program The program began on April 1 1938
Before Federal funds may be utilized by any official State agency for administering a Crippled Childrens Program it is necessary that a State Plan for services be submitted to the Childrens Bureau of the United States Department of Labor and it must be definitely shown in this plan that all provisions contained in Section 511 of the Federal Social Security Act as amended are met For guidance in the submission of this plan which must be done at the end of each fiscal year to govern the next years operations certain recommendations are made by the Childrens Bureau as to scope personnel organization and modus operandi It is necessary for the official State agency to conform so nearly as is possible to these recommendations in order that this plan receive the approval of the Childrens Bureau and its subsequent allotment of funds
The State law does not define a crippled child so that it is necessary in the plan for services covering each fiscal year to adopt a definition which will conform with the provisions of the Federal Social Security Act and will meet the approval of the Childrens Bureau The definition submitted with the plan for services covering the fiscal year ending June 30 1940 provides for treatment of children under twentyone years of age who are certified by the Directors of their respective Counties of Public Welfare as indigent and are sufficiently handicapped by any of the following conditions to restrict normal development physically socially or economically
1 Any of the abnormal conditions generally classed as orthopedic with the exception of acute fractures fractures of less than six months duration
2 Eye defects such as muscular imbalance strabismus congenital cataracts etc insofar as they are amenable to surgery Refractions and the fitting of glasses are permissible only when necessary for the completion of other operative work
3 In addition such plastic surgery may be done as is necessary to relieve conditions which may seriously restrict the childs chances for development Such cases include cleft palate harelip and burn contractures
All cases under treatment are dropped when they have reached their twentyfirst birthday and every effort is made to interest some local agency in financing continuation of treatment where necessary WTien possible the work should be planned in advance to secure maximum benefit from treatment before the child reaches his twentyfirst birthday This requirement is a requisite of the Childrens Bureau and is not peculiar to the Georgia plan for services
No case may be accepted for treatment who is primarily mentally deficient
State of Georgia
97
No pensions are paid under the Crippled Childrens Program which is concerned only with furnishing adequate medical attention for cases who are not financially able to assume the cost of such treatment and for whom there are no other available facilities
The legitimate expenses assumed by the Crippled Childrens Division include cost of hospitalization convalescent care physicians fees nursing services services of the Crippled Childrens staff including social workers physiotherapy and appliances All cases are carried to private hospitals who are paid on a case basis If necessary convalescent homes or convalescent services in hospitals are available to cases who no longer need hospitalization but who need attention which they cannot obtain at home Payment for this service is also on a case basis The Crippled Childrens Division does not own or operate any hospital or convalescent home
Cases are referred to the Crippled Childrens Division by the County Welfare Departments who certify as to financial eligibility and supply narratives setting forth a brief history of the crippling condition and remarks about the existant environmental factors which might influence aftercare in the home Operative releases signed by the legal guardian of each child accepted for treatment are secured prior to acceptance for treatment These are for the protection of the physicians operating County Welfare Departments furnish transportation
The actual rendering of medical services on the Crippled Childrens Program is in the hands of private physicians all of whom must be qualified specialists in their particular field Some of these physicians receive monthly retainers fees for parttime services and others are paid on a case basis Whenever this would appear cheaper a retainers fee is set up At present fourteen orthopedic surgeons and one plastic surgeon receive retainers fees All others are paid a nominal case fee for service
The majority of orthopedic surgeons certified by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgeons and most of the hospitals meeting requirements established for orthopedic cases are located in Atlanta Consequently most of the caseis treated are of necessity brought in to Atlanta Treatment for orthopedic cases is also available at Augusta Macon Columbus and Savannah Only one certified plastic surgeon is available at present so that acceptance of these cases for treatment is delayed All of these cases must be brought to Atlanta
District orthopedic nurses are employed who visit the cases under treatment at home render such nursing services as they are able in the field advise parents in carrying out aftercare recommendations and keep the central office advised as to the condition of these cases while not under the direct supervision of the attending physician
In addition to furnishing treatment for crippled children it is the purpose of the Crippled Childrens Service to maintain a register of the crippled children in the State even though all of them may not be eligible for treatment on this Program This register is by no means complete as cases are seldom reported to this Division unless treatment is sought
The State register for crippled children is divided into the following groups
1 Cases approved for Registration without Reservation which means that these cases are eligible for treatment when treatment is available
2 Cases approved for Registration Only which means that these cases are
98
Department of Public Welfare
not eligible for treatment because parents will not consent patient is able to obtain private treatment or some other similar reason
3 Cases not approved for registration usually because the physical defect present is not included in the definition of a crippled child included in the State Plan and approved by the Childrens Bureau
Cases are closed when the case has reached twentyone years of age when he or she moves to another State in case of death of the applicant or when the crippling condition is terminated
Following registration cases are considered for treatment in most instances in the order received Allowances are made for emergency cases and cases nearing the age limit for service
Diagnostic clinics are held at the rate of about two a month for the purpose of obtaning for the applicants an examination by a certified orthopedic surgeon Eye cases are not carried to these clinics when it is possible to secure a doctors statement as to diagnosis Emergency cases are accepted on the recommendations of local physicians
A plan for establishment of permanent clinics is being considered to replace the itinerant type now being used During the fiscal year fourteen diagnostic clinics were held and a total of 478 children were examined at these clinics

SURPLUS COMMODITY DISTRIBUTION DIVISION

COMMODITY DISTRIBUTION DIVISION
The fiscal year of 19391940 witnessed several important changes in commodity distribution New programs were inaugurated policies were modified and even the name of the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation wps changed At midnight June 30 1940 the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation became the Surplus Marketing Administration This change was made in conformance with the Presidents reorganization plan
The F S C C commonly referred to as the Corporation was not discontinued entirely but was retired from active service For seven years the F S C C waged a victorious battle against farm surpluses and it was one of the most potent weapons ever used by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration in its never ending war on surplus farm crops
The method employed by the Corporation was direct and to the point The attack was concentrated against the existing surpluses in strategic areas The results were both gratifying and immediate Market prices of commodities that had fallen below the cost of production were bolstered and the farmer benefited
Of course the SMA will continue the practice of surplus removal via the direct distribution route and the policies governing this phase of the program are similar to the time tried methods of the old F S C C
The SMA functioning as a unit of the A A A operates three programs in Georgia
1 Direct Distribution of Surplus Commodities
2 The School Lunch Program
3 The Food Stamp Plan
On the direct distribution program the State of Georgia received and distributed over 42000000 pounds of food stuffs See Table I
While there is nothing new about the School Lunch Program it was not until September 1939 that any real or extensive effort was expended toward the enlargement of this fine program How well this effort was received by the school children teachers sponsors and PTA is evidenced by the fact that the school lunch enrollment figures jumped from 10472 pupils at the beginning of the school year September 1 1939 to 280259 pupils at the close of the school year June 1 1940 We take this opportunity to thank the SMA the Certifying Agents the County Welfare Directors and all organizations for their untiring and unselfish efforts in behalf of the School Lunch Program
During the fiscal year the Food Stamp Plan of surplus commodity removal was placed in operation in Atlanta Columbus Macon and Savannah
The Chief of the Commodity Division and his organization have had the responsibility of acting as agent for the State of Georgia in relationship with the Surplus Marketing Administration and of maintaining a system of commodity distribution for the receiving storing packaging distribution and accounting for all surplus commodities in a way acceptable to the Surplus Marketing Administration
On February 26 1939 the SMA and the State Welfare Department executed an agreement defining the responsibilities and operating policies of both organizations The adoption of this instrument has resulted in improved relationship with the SMA and has benefited the Commodity Division immeasurably
State of Georgia
105
In addition to the operating agreement the Commodity Division has been responsible for maintaining satisfactory working relationships with State and County officials outlining conditions under which commodities may be utilized conducting detailed and frequent investigations in the field for the purpose qf inspecting and directing operation of local distribution activities and making such changes and improvements in procedures as have been necessary to obtain a degree of efficiency acceptable to Federal State and local officials as well as the general public
During the year four counties constructed new commodity warehouses for the exclusive use of the Commodity Division and over fifty counties improved their local distribution facilities by moving to more suitable quarters or by making alterations and repairs to existing quarters
Emergency services were supplied during the year in numerous counties where strikes and shut downs threw employees out of work In these instances emergency distributions of surplus foods were made within two to six hours after the Division was informed of the emergency One notable instance of quick service rendered was in connection with the Albany disaster On February 10 1940 a cyclone struck Albany Georgia demolishing buildings and residences and leaving 500 families homeless Commodity trucks throughout the State made immediate transfer of food supplies and clothing to Albany and six hours after the disaster emergency distribution was under way
For ready reference we have compiled four tables of Commodity Distribution as follows Table I quantities and values of Surplus Commodities distributed during the fiscal year Table II quantities and values of Surplus Commodities distributed to State Institutions Table III certified case load by months Table IV values of Surplus Commodities and Clothing distributed in each County throughout the State of Georgia

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE CHILD WELFARE DIVISION
During the fiscal year ending June 30 1940 the Child Welfare Division continued its former services and also extended and enlarged upon other much needed services
In undertaking these services an effort was made to assist the child who had been referred to Child Welfare Services in adjusting to his own home if it were possible for the home to offer him an opportunity for satisfactory development However if after a thorough study was made it seemed advisable for him to be removed from his home either on a temporary or permanent basis foster care was considered In some instances he was placed in a foster home and in some instances he was placed in an institution either for dependent or delinquent children as the case might have been Further in regard to institutions they were licensed by this Division and supervisory service was offered to them This latter service included the State eleemosynary institutions In case of juvenile delinquency advisory service was offered to the juvenile courts and to other judicial officials
Because staff development is an important part of our Division educational leave was provided for some members who had shown promise in child welfare and who were eager to obtain additional education To facilitate the continued development of the staff a state library is available to each member of the child welfare staff Statistics regarding registration and population analysis relating to child placing and institutional care and information concerning children for whom intensive service was offered those children Accepted for Service See Division of Research and Statistics Child Welfare were compiled in order to assist in planning for future child welfare services Special studies were undertaken in order to assist us in child welfare planning
CHILD WELFARE SERVICES
Of great assistance in carrying out our services to the children of Georgia is the Child Welfare Service fund of 4530200 which is financed by the Federal Social Security fund and supervised by the Federal Childrens Bureau This fund is for the establishing extending and strengthening services in predominantly rural areas and areas of special need for the protection and care of homeless dependent and neglected children and children in danger of becoming delinquent Therefore this fund which is for service only cannot be used for financial aid to any child This fund pays the salaries for some of the members of the state staff district staff and county staff Other salaries are paid out of state funds The state also urnished office space furniture and supplies The counties in which there are county child welfare units furnished office expenses mileage special funds for relief needs of the children who were receiving child wlfare services in their counties This fund was to be used only if other resources would not satisfactorily meet the childs needs
Since the program offered by this Division is services to children and their families and does not include any financial aid it is important to explain the administrative staff which is composed of state staff district staff and county staff The state staff during this fiscal year consisted of a Director Supervisor of Child Welfare Services Supervisor of Child Placing State Psychologist Consultant of Children s Institutions and Consultant of Juvenile Delinquency
114
Department of Public Welfare
The Director was responsible for the planning and administration of the program Supervisor of Child Welfare Services assisted in making administrative plans for child welfare services and worked with the Director of the Division and with the Childrens Bureau in formulating plans for the Child Welfare Division She also offered supervision to half of the state consisting of district staff and county staff Supervisor of Child Placing handled some child placements in the state as well as supervised the other half of the state including district staff and county staff State Psychologist offered psychological services to children throughout the state and Umsultant of Childrens Institutions inspected childrens institutions and dfgred advisory service to them The Consultant of Juvenile Delinquency assisted the statt and judicial authorities in working out satisfactory plans for juvenile delinquency
Georgia during this fiscal year was divided into nine districts offering services to all counties of the state except Fulton County which is urban The district headquarters for administrative purposes were located in the urban counties bee Map and although most of the services were offered in the adjoining rural areas some services were offered to the urban communities
In all counties district consultant offered her services to the director of the County Department of Public Welfare who was responsible for the welfare work in her county This service in many instances was on an advisory basis that is the district consultant discussed carefully with the director the facts concerning the child and the family and gave advice as to planning with them Sometimes the district consultant undertook part of the investigation and assisted m making a plan with the child and his family if this was indicated Ini a few cases mly ones o great urgency the district consultant alone worked with the child and his family however always the responsibility for the child and his family was left with the
director
Besides the actual work with children in need since it was important for the individual county to know what was being done for the children in their community and in Georgia in general the district consultant interviewed interested people of the community in order to obtain their assistance in making plans for an individual family when this was indicated In other instances district consultant worked with the county in obtaining an understanding of the child welfare needs and resources in that community and assisted them in planning for more adequate resources to meet the needs and in trying to rectify conditions that fcrfawl with the development of the children of their community This was undertaken through individual contacts and by group discussion
In trying to plan for the most effective use of the services of district consultants it was decided that a study of the state would be undertaken A survejr of each county consisting of a study of the financial status resources of county including relief health education and finances industrial and agricultural status personneo County Department of Public Welfare child welfare needs and community attitude was made which showed that there was great variation This was apparent in the financial conditions resources community understanding of
of child welfare in particular and whatever the cause might be the community s interest and desire for child welfare services Since the district consultant s a were large varying from sixteen to twenty counties it was decided in order not to spread her services too thinly that the district consultant would concentrateo counties which had expressed most interest in child welfare and the need of chi
State of Georgia
115
welfare services and showed signs of further growth along these lines This meant that the district consultant would plan to visit such a county at regular intervals at which time she would offer services to as large a group of selected cases as possible In some instances she worked with the children and their families and in some instances with the director who in turn would work with the child and his family on the advice given by the district consultant Further district consultant tried to obtain the interest of as many individuals in the community in extending services to children by assisting the individuals in studying the local conditions and statewide conditions and by assisting them in creating needed resources and in planning to rectify and alleviate undesirable situations The other counties in the district received consultant service which consisted in the district consultant working directly with the children in need and with their families as well as with influential citizens individually and in groups in assisting them to obtain an understanding along these lines of their community
In the past Child Welfare Services were concentrated on several counties in order to assist in selecting a county as a child welfare unit During this fiscal year Coffee County was established as a county child welfare unit and Lowndes County was prepared for a county child welfare unit Both of these counties had shown an interest in child welfare services for a long time and requests had been made by the director and plans had been made for many children The community had shown an increased interest in their children and were eager to have a child welfare worker to help them in planning Before final plans were formulated a group of citizens studied their county including facts about their needs and resources and decided that they wanted a child welfare worker to devote her time in meeting the needs of the children in their community and in alleviating conditions which were detrimental to normal growth and in establishing resources which would give the child an opportunity for a more satisfactory living
Coweta Dougherty Monroe Spalding Sumter Walton and Whitfield were the other county child welfare units Since the child welfare worker in these units offered services to children in her county only a more intensive service was offered to the children in her community and more community interpretation and organization was accomplished which resulted in the establishment of child welfare committees composed of interested citizens such as ministers doctors lawyers public officials and lay people This group met regularly to discuss the needs of their county along the line of child welfare and welfare in general and methods of meeting these needs Different topics were developed depending upon the interest of the group for examples juvenile delinquency juvenile dependency child welfare as a part of public welfare relief standards state institutions private institutions foster home care etc Besides these general subjects which were considered the county child welfare worker presented case stories of children and their families in order to present to the group the type of work which she was undertaking and the reasons for the plans that had been made This group was not only active while meeting but it also acted as a liaison agent between the community and the county child welfare worker in interpreting the child welfare services to the community and in turn in interpreting the communitys attitude to the worker Therefore such a group was of great benefit in providing an understanding between the community andthe county child welfare worker and it was most helpful in working out plans
Except for Coweta and Spalding Counties which had one worker who served both counties

for children in need Interpretation in these units was also undertaken by newspaper publicity and radio talks
Radio Talk I
The first illustrates the use of radio in order to interpret child welfare by the use of presentation of general factual information and the other by case presentation
Mrs Block Last month at this hour Miss Stone you and I discussed with the radio audience our local setup for child welfare service some of its methods and its objectives Today I have on my desk a copy of the Survey Graphic Magazine which takes as its theme a great national conference on Children in a Democracy I wonder if you wont tell us something about this conference how it came to meet and what value such a conference may have for the children of our country
Stone You are quite right Mrs Block to bring this conference into our discussion this month The conference meets only once every ten years and that meeting is held at the invitation of the President of the United States usually at the very beginning of the decade The conference on Children in a Democracy which met in the middle of January was the fourth of the great White House Conferences in which the Nations leaders in childrens welfare take stock of how our country has been made a better place for children to grow up and to plan new objectives for the next ten years
Block What can you tell about the objectives that the conference has already reached for child welfare
Stone Let us look back to the year 1909 when Theodore Roosevelt called the first conference The outstanding result of that meeting was the establishment of the United States Childrens Bureau the only nationwide governmental organization which devotes its entire interest to the advancement of our methods of child care All that the Childrens Bureau has accomplished in the thirtyeight years of its existence might be called a result of that first White House Conference And what are some of the outstanding accomplishments of the Childrens Bureau
Block Ill answer that for you Julia Lathrop the first chief of the Childrens Bureau made the agency first of all a means of finding out how the country stood from the standpoint of child and maternal health The registration of births throughout our country was one of the first objectives The gathering of statistics regarding infant and maternal deaths also was one of the early objectives When the statistics were secured the picture was so discouraging that the Bureau soon undertook research to find out how the high rate of maternal and infant deaths could be reduced From this research came some of the outstanding activities of public health departments throughout our country Public Health departments with maternal health clinics have been set up in a vast number of counties our own being one and even where there is no county health department the states give some service in important matters of child health
Stone And did you read Mrs Block in the conference reports just what has been the accomplishments of the last ten years in the maternal and child health
The names used in the following reports are assumed
State of Georgia
117
Block Yes and the figures are rather amazing Great progress had been made in previous decades to bring down the rate of infant mortality But from 1929 to 1938 the rate was again reduced by 25 This was remarkable but even more remarkable was the decline of the maternal death rate In 1929 the maternal death rate was 70 per 10000 live births in 1938 it was 44 a decline of more than thirtyfive percent And all of this took place in a depression decade when it would seem that the great economic strain would have increased the death rates
Stone Those figures represent a decade of progress in spite of difficulties Mrs Block It certainly shows that our democracy has wonderful stamina not merely to hold its own but to make progress in improving the health of the nation during a depression And now let us get back to another great objective set by that first White House Conference for children away back in 1909 That objective in fact that cardinal principle of the conference was that no child should be removed from his family by reason of poverty alone Yet it was only in the decade of the thirties that this principle came to be applied over a wide area of our country Soon after the first conference some of the populous northern states made their own provisions for mothers pensions but it was the social security act which made this possible in states like our own What is the name that we give to mothers pensions under the Social Security Act
Block We call it Aid to Dependent Children or ADC for short
Radio Talk II
There was a number of people in the office waiting for their turn to see the child welfare worker The worker came in spoke to a fraillooking woman who was somewhat stooped and wore dark glasses Joan and her mother followed the worker into the inner office

Helping Joan to understand her mother and the mother to understand Joan was not an easy job The child welfare worker saw each of them let them talk to her about their troubles and learned a great deal more about the situation She found that Mrs Brown had never learned to read Braille Since losing her sight three years ago Mrs Brown had little or no contact with the community A plan was made to secure for her a Victrola and to rent recordings of good books She began to spend hours each day hearing these stories and talking them over with Joan in the afternoon A member of the missionary society suggested that she would like to come over in the morning and read the newspaper to Mrs Brown thereby stimulating her interests in the affairs of the community The most helpful thing that was done was to secure a visiting housekeeper who came three days a week to clean and straighten the house She helped Mrs Brown become confident of her own ability to manage cooking and to help with the housework
The welfare worker encouraged Joan to talk with her mother about her school work and the things that happened at her club etc Before very many months Joan and her mother understood each other better each became more aware of the other s needs Joan discovered her mothers need for companionship attention affection The mother came to realize Joans need to have a good time and be the child she really was
Case Illustration I
Following are examples of three cases which illustrate the type of service which was rendered This service is typical of that offered either by the District Child Welfare Consultant or by the County Child Welfare Worker This case presentation is similar to that presented at Child Welfare Committee meetings or at meetings with groups in general in order to interpret our services
Joan s mother and father came to the child welfare workers office to discuss their oldest child s behavior Joan was resistive to the teachers authority deliberately disobeyed and enjoyed having the name of being the worst child in the sixth grade
The parents admitted that Joans misbehavior in school was parallelled by her behavior in the home At home she defied her parents stayed away from home without permission and refused to play with children in her own neighborhood seeming to enjoy getting as far as possible from her mothers supervision
The father didnt feel that Joans behavior resulted from lack of discipline for he had whipped her frequently since she was two years old She was unkind to her younger brother and sister and said that her mother and father loved them best which was true because they gave no trouble The mother said that she too had used a firm hand in attempting to control Joan she had deprived the child of pleasure had locked her in her own room and had tried in every way to make Joan a good girl
120
Department of Public Welfare
At the school the teacher told the worker that Joan was very naughty and had to stay in after school almost every day She had been destructive of school property and her father had been called upon to replace blackboards and other school materials which were defaced by the Child The teacher said that she had been very firm with Joan had allowed her no privileges yet in spite of this the child did much as she pleased in the schoolroom
In talking with Joans Sunday School teacher the worker learned that she had no trouble at all with the child Joan always made out the class report put fresh flowers in the room and was considered quite dependable The Sunday School teacher who was understanding said that she thought Joan should be given more freedom in her own home
The worker discussed with Joans parent the advisability of freeing the child for proper growth and development and of doing away with corporal punishment The mother gave Joan special tasks in the home at the completion of which she was allowed to go out and play She became interested in cooking and the mother invited several neighborhood girls in for lunch which was prepared by Joan One of these girls became friendly with Joan and they visited each other
The child welfare worker suggested to Joans mother that the child might enjoy membership in the Girl Scouts Joan became a leader in her Scout group Last summer she attended camp and demonstrated presence of mind and resourcefulness when a child was injured
Joans teacher was urged to give the child some responsibility for the schoolroom Soon Joan became interested in protecting school property and asked for the duties of room monitor She is also serving as a member of the girls patrol in her school
Case Illustration II
Judge Smith telephoned the child welfare worker to come to the courthouse at once Upon her arrival Judge Smith said Jack Andrews and his mother Mrs Lane are in the inner office The mother has asked that Jack be committed to a reform school as she says she cannot do anything with him She says he plays truant from school lies takes money from her purse bullies his younger stepbrothers and stepsisters is disrespectful to his stepfather and is so incorrigible that he is bound to land in jail sooner or later In spite of Mrs Lanes story I am of the opinion that Jack might not be such a bad boy I want you to investigate this case carefully and see what you can do for the boy
The investigation disclosed among other things that Jack behaved well in school but found it hard to concentrate on his studies On the playground he did not join in games with the other boys and he did not have a friend Occasionally he played truant from school usually going tothe home of his grandparents who lived about two miles from town on a farm His teacher thought Jack might do better if placed away from his mother and stepfather
The child welfare worker discussed the situation with Jacks grandparents who expressed an unwillingness to accept Jack in their own home due to their advanced age and because they felt his parents would interfere They did not know of a suitable relative who might take the boy They offered to pay Jacks board if a suitable home could be found for the boy
The child welfare worker then talked with Jack who was an attractive freckle
State of Georgia
121
fRced boy taller than the average twelveyearold and somewhat underweight Jack smd that no one cared anything about him and that his mother accused him of things he did not do He had a dog but his stepfather shot it He wished he were older and could join the Navy
The child welfare worker talked with Jack about going to school away from home and the boy was immediately responsive to the plan Psychological tests were given the boy and he was found to be superior mentally The psychologist also gave the child welfare worker valuable information concerning Jacks needs for growth and development A suitable boarding home in the country was found for Jack and he has been living with his foster parents for two years It has been a long uphill process to encourage the boy and to keep him in school but with the
fF JK fLne UnderStanding foster Parents Jack is growing into a
splendid youth The home is supervised closely by the child welfare worker in that county Jack has put on weight and now joins in games with his playmates He is a member of the 4H Club and has won a prize for a pig he raised Jack returns to his home town and visits in the home of his parents at Christmas and during the summer vacation He always drops by to see the child welfare worker and usually stops m to show Judge Smith whom he considers his friend how much he has grown After a visit is over Jack cheerfully and willingly returns to the boarding home which he calls his other home
The child welfare worker has been able to help Jacks mother and stepfather
understand the boy The mother is beginning to show a fondness for Jack and to have pride in his growth and development The boy is now ready for the ninth grade and is interested in completing high school In another year it is hoped that Jack can be returned to his own home which has been visited regularly by the child welfare worker His parents are now showing a willingness to accept and love Jack as their own child
Case Illustration III
Reverend Allen asked for child welfare services on the Baxter children Sam age six and Anne and Sara nineyearold twins Mr Baxter had died and Mrs Baxter who was the breadwinner of the family had been injured in an accident and would not be able to resume care of her children for at least two years
thJndlSRUSSing situation with Reverend Allen we came to the conclusion hat the Baxter children should be kept together if possible so that family ties might be preserved and with the hope that the mother might be reunited with her family group after she had fully recovered
A complete investigation by the child welfare worker revealed that there were no suitable relatives who could assume responsibility for all three children Instiutional placement was then decided upon and the minister using information
supplied by the worker made application to an orphanage supported by his denomination
The orphanage superintendent recognizing the necessity for holding the children together arranged to accept all three He allowed them to visit their mother at e hospital and later at the convalescent home He also assisted the worker and the minister in completing plans for reestablishing the family home The
children remained m the orphanage for two years during which time they attended school regularly
122
Department of Public Welfare
Recently Mrs Baxter became able to take her three children from the orphanage and with aid from the church and an Aid to Dependent Children s grant she again set up her home The children are happy to be with their mother and she is grateful that the children were kept together during her long illness
CHILD CARE
The Division of Child Welfare realizing the value of a child living with his own family if the home conditions offered him an opportunity for satisfactory development or the home could be improved sufficiently to do so made an effort to strengthen the family and keep the child with his family or if he were separated from his family to reestablish the family if it was for the best interest of the child
Supervision in Natural Homes
Most of the children who received services were in their own homes as will be borne out by the following information about some of the children to whom services were rendered namely who were accepted for Child Welfare Services This group was selected because of the available statistical information however it should be remembered that there were other children who received services through this Division but were not included in this group such as children for whom advisory service was given and for whom investigations only were rfextakena etc However this latter group consisted of only 429 children of the total 1551 children This information shows that most of the children were in their own homes when they were accepted for service and most of them remained in their own homes while services were offered and that further the family in many instances assumed responsibility for the children when service by the Division was terminated 1 able No 1 shows that of the 1122 children who were accepted for service 397 were having difficulties because of inadequate home conditions

The other children who fall under captions Conduct Problem in Home Community or School and Neglect and Cruelty might have also been in home surroundings which are undesirable
In offering services to a child living with its family a study was made which consisted of the following physical examination psychological examination social study which included the family background the childs position in the family and the family and the childs position in the community Depending upon the study of these findings the worker in some instances offered service directly to the family in attempting to give them more understanding of the child so that they could help him with his problems In other instances the child himself needed special service and the worker assisted the child directly However often the worker offered services jointly to the family and the child

Foster Care
In some instances it was evident after careful study that the child should be removed from his own home either on a temporary or permanent basis Usually i the possibility of assistance from relatives in making plans had not been exhausted the relatives were taken into consideration and if they could not offer satisfactory suggestions foster care was suggested
Foster care consists of care in foster homes that is care of a child in a family other than with his parents or relatives within the second degree or institutional care as pointed out in Statistical Table No 2 One hundred and twentyone children presented problems that indicated that foster home care would be of benefit and 21 children indicated that institutional care would be advisable

124
Department of Public Welfare
Foster Homes
There were different reasons for foster home care being considered for the 121 children Some of these children were not adjusting in their own homes and neither the child nor his family was able to change sufficiently to rectify the condition and therefore it was necessary to place him in a foster home In some instances the situation in his own home was changed sufficiently during the child s placement for him to return and in other instances the child changed sufficiently for him to be reunited with his family Sometimes permanent plans were made because the child had no family ties or because of serious home conditions that appeared to be of a lasting nature
Foster homes have been used in many cases for children who present serious behavior problems for children whose family ties have been severed for children in need of temporary care during their illness or illness in their families for children whose mother or father is dead and whose living parent is unable to give them proper supervision because of the parents working hours or the like anF for babies during the period of development pending determination of their adoptability
Different types of foster care were offered during the year boarding home care that is a foster home in which money is paid to the foster parents for the childs subsistence while under care a free homethat is a foster home in whic a child is placed without remuneration being given to the foster parents wage homethat is a home in which money is received by the child for services rendered by him in the home adoption homethat is a home in which a child is placed on a permanent basis with the intention of the foster parents to adopt it At the end of this fiscal year 91 children were under foster care 31 in boarding homes 29 in free homes 28 in adoptive homes and 3 in wage homes
Institutional Care
Institutional care is a valuable form of foster care During this fiscal year normal children particularly members of a large family group were placed in institutions The institutions also served delinquents physically handicapped and mentally defective children
Local public and private institutions were inspected for licensing through the Child Welfare Division in accordance with Welfare Reorganization Act of 1937 No 62 Section 6 2 Of the 37 institutions that were inspected 30 met the requirements for minimum standards and these institutions provided care for 1915 chi dren during this past fiscal year Seven of the institutions did not meet the requirements and therefore no licenses were granted them however special arrangements were made between the unlicensed institutions and this Division The Boards and superintendents of three of these institutions have closed intake either temporarily or permanently One institution admits children on the advice of this Division Another institution is in the process of change and therefore will not be included in the total number of 281 children in the other unlicensed institutions
In addition to the inspections for licenses consultant services were offered on case work problems This service was used principally to promote a better use of local facilities by institutions and of the institutions by local workers Itwas also used to stimulate a closer correlation of services among all workers with children who use local institutions or operate them One Childrens Council has been organized which is making excellent progress
State of Georgia
125
speclfic service is g five stateoperated institutions for handicapped S it eh I 8w Wlth the Institutional Division This includes investigation of children before admission and plan with families to return to their own homes This is handled through local workers with the State Consultant on Children s Institutions acting as a liaison between the institution and the local workers This service is more formal with the Training School for Boys and Training Schooi for Gnis as the plans for each child are reported to this Department on forms for
this purpose The consultant also has more frequent contact with these schools to discuss specific cases u
It is necessary to have frequent interviews with parents of mentally defective children to interpret the limitations of space in school in relation to the number of such children m the state A special survey of this need was made by the State which showed that a total of 1147 mentally defective children are in need of specialized services which are not available
Conferences and group meetings to discuss institutional problems are held frequently Talks are also given by members of the staff at the request of Boards or superintendents of institutions
The emphasis of the institutional program during the past fiscal year has been on selecting with all possible skill children for care This is due to the increased awareness of those who pve service through this type of foster care of the imports P childrensinstitutions in giving specialized services which cannot be better obtained through other types of foster care for children There is an increased interest in the use of institutions to take large family groups Superin

MILLEDGEVILLE STATE HOSPITAL ANNUAL REPORT
By John W Oden M D Superintendent
I submit herewith annual report of the Milledgeville State Hospital for the year ending June 30 1940
The most absorbing thought in the minds of the laity is politics and taxes If any organization is to function on a high plane money must be available for this It certainly should not be the duty of the superintendent of an insttution to plead for finances to properly care for the mentally sick people of the State neither should it be the duty of the superintendent of an institution to indulge in any respect in politics If funds are to be obtained the Legislature should be in sympathy with the problems the institution has and the head of the institution should be of such caliber that political maneuvering would be one of the reasons for his dismissal Officials and employees should be protected against unscrupulous politicians and be allowed to carry on their work without interference A system of efficiency should be instituted at the hospital in which we all should be vitally interested
Of all the illnesses known to humanity mental illness is one of the most distressing We have not been able to entirely educate the public to the fact that mental illness is not a disgrace but should be discussed as openly as most physical diseases and instead of trying to keep the skeleton in the closet the relatives should apply to a psychiatrist early for advice and treatment All State Institutions will continue to increase in size until a definite educational program is carried out not only in our State but in every state of the Union In many instances mental patients have gone the rounds of the general practitioner the charlatans and quacks and as a last resort they are put away in a mental hospital The time for curing these patients in most instances has passed
A board Mental Hygiene Program is essential Incorporated in this program should be Child Guidance Clinics and at least onehalf dozen mental clinics oyer the State so the general practitioners could refer their mental cases for consultation and treatment in the community instead of allowing them to follow the course that is being followed in so many instances at present I am convinced that with a broad Mental Hygiene Program the population at the institution can be held at its present level or possibly reduced
A closer cooperation between the county authorities the Board and the superintendent of the hospital is essential We are called upon to admit into the institution cases of senile dementia paralytics low grade imbeciles and idiots knowing in the beginning that no amount of treatment or hospitalization is going to benefit this unfortunate type I am most sympathetic with this unfortunate class and sincerely believe that the State should make some provisions for the care of these people A custodial department in connection with your present institution would solve the problem as far as seniles and paralytics are concerned The institution at Gracewood should also have a custodial department for low grade mental defectiveseven those who have advanced to middle age It has been proven conclusively that patients of this kind need only custodial care and nursing attention with medical supervision being secondary The medical and specialized nursing attention should be centered on the patients who are acutely ill mentally and every effort should
State of Georgia
135
be made to restore them to their normal mental state as early as possible and return them to their home communities as assets instead of liabilities
We should always have a humane and sympathetic administration in caring for the unfortunates of the State I am sure all of us believe in economy but we do not believe in the type of economy where the mentally sick are not properly fed and do not receive proper medical and nursing care Money spent for mental health is money saved It should not be a question of how little the institution can function on but how much the State can afford to pay for the care of these unfortunates
The per capita cost of the hospital will convince you and any other rightthinking individual that not a single dime has been spent foolishly Every dollar has done its duty and I trust that we may be favored in the future with a Board and administration that is sympathetic with our needs This is an old and honorable institution and is rightly spoken of as Georgias greatest charity The humane care of the insane has been the object of every superintendent we have any record of All of them speak of the care that was originally given the insane in foreign countries One superintendent rightly stated after telling of the situations existing in a foreign insane institution We hope never to see such institutions in this countryon the contrary let no asylum be established except for the curable insane There is no such thing as a just and proper curative treatment of the insane in cheaply constructed or cheaply managed institutions
Dr Joseph Goldberger of the United States Department of Public Health ran an experiment at this institution for years and finally gave to the world the fact that pellagra was a dietary disease and the administration of yeast was a curative factor For economical reasons of the State Administration this experiment was discontinued several years ago but the farsightedness of the Board of Public Welfare allowed the United States Department of Public Health to commence this program again in 1938 The Public Health Service is at present working out the problem of nicotinic acid We hope to find out the amount of nicotinic acid that will actually prevent pellagra The proper feeding of most people in the South is a serious problem and it seems that certain elements must eventually be added to foods to prevent nutritional diseases Without experimentation science would make no progress Had it not been for the work of Goldberger Wheeler Tanner and the medical staff of this hospital the chances are that today we would still be admitting hundreds of insane pellagrans to this hospital and have a death rate equal to the economy years that had previously been practiced
This institution was among the first to treat General Paralysis of the Insane with tertian malaria It is also important to record that in the early 1920s it was recognized that it was almost impossible to produce tertian malaria in the negro race For the past several years quartan malaria has been used among the negroes and the results have been most satisfactory The recovery and improvement rate of patients being sent away from the hospital is in direct iatio to the number of physicians nurses and the type of substantial food served The records will show that during the prosperous years furloughs and discharges have been far in excess of those years in which economy was practiced The present Board has seen fit to allow us to materially increase our attendant nursing and medical personnel It has shown its result in the glowing report made by the Clinical Director to the
136
Department of Public Welfare
Superintendent Your attention is particularly called to the vast amount of work that has been done in the Medical Department
I feel that if we are to hold the high type of officials and employees we must give them salaries in proportion to the duties they perform and the service they render I call your attention particularly to the fact that our attendant personnel is on duty one day for twelve hours and the following day for fifteen hours They are required to work every other Sunday and are given only two weekdays off each month Your superintendent is unalterably opposed to union organization in any hospital but he does feel that the next legislature should make provisions for more nurses and attendants so that we would be in position to shorten the long hours these fathful employees have to be in direct contact with the patients they so sympathetically care for This of course is going to mean an increase in our present appropriation for it certainly cannot be done with the amount we are receiving now
The Board has been most generous in allowing us to build some cottages for our physicians We feel that we are in much better position to keep a high type of medical personnel if we can give them comfortable quarters We cannot expect a physician and his family to be satisfied and happy in one and tworoom apartments as their time for recreation is so limited that we feel they should at least be comfortably housed I believe if a thorough examination is made you will find that the officials of this institution are paid smaller salaries than in any other department of the State
We continue to operate our farm garden dairy abattoir and broom and mattress factory on a paying basis Besides actually adding money to our appropriation we are in position to give our patients fresh vegetables gathered from our own farm and garden the greater part of the year The surplus is of course canned to be used during the winter and early spring The returns from these projects last year were most flattering I refer you to the Auditors report for a correct accounting
The Cold Storage and Ice Plant that was added to the abattoir during the last fiscal year will pay for itself within the next fiscal year This was a WPA project At the lowest estimate I figure we are saving at least 12000 a quarter at the present price of cows and hogs
By early spring we will have completed repairs and additions to the Male Receiving Building This also is a WPA project We have practically completed a large addition to the Jones Building The States portion of funds for this project was obtained from the Chain Store Tax and matched with WPA funds
The last Legislature saw fit to set up the Hospital Authority The Hospital Authority borrowed from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation sufficient funds to match PWA funds for a vast building program There are five buildings in this group and they will provide space for approximately 2800 patients I would not like for anyone to obtain the impression that we will have space for 2800 extra beds as several old buildings have been condemned and why we have not had a more serious catastrophe than has already been reported is more than I can understand You will recall that one of the stairways fell in the Negro Department injuring only one patient seriously Recently one of the outside stairways leading to one of the White Female Wards fell injuring two patients seriously and a number of others painfully We must find some way to abandon these old
State of Georgia
137
structures We are not going to be in position to collect enough money from pay patients to take over all of these five buildings consequently we must depend on taking suffcient funds from our maintenance appropriation to pay the rental on these buildings and going in debt for supplies and materials until the next Legislature meets at which time it is going to be essential for arrangements to be made to pay this out of some fund other than the maintenance appropriation We cannot hope to operate the institution on the high plane it has been operating on for the past three and onehalf years if we make the error of practicing false economy
In the spring of 1938 the first determined effort was made to collect money from patients who had estates of their own or from those whose relatives were financially able to assist in their care according to Sections 35232 and 35234 Code of 1933 A resolution was passed by the Board making it mandatory upon the superintendent to see that these funds be collected In an adjoining State it was reported to me that the cost of collecting funds from pay patients was actually more than the amount received This has not been the case with us We have employed only one extra person who has made a survey of the financial status of every patient in the institution The records and correspondence has been carried on through the superintendents office without any extra personnel While it has materially increased the detailed work of the superintendents office and his secretary it has been worthwhile as we have collected between 40000 and 50000 each year for the past two years We feel that this particular problem is well in hand and the complaints have been practically negligible
I have recommended repeatedly that the appropriation for maintenance should be kept separate and appropriated separately from the appropriation for buildings and repairs In other words a suitable amount should be set up for food clothing salaries etc and another amount should be set up by a separate appropriation for buildings and repairs Most of us are familiar with the situation existing at the hospital and I know personally that within the past twenty years or more practically no repair work has been done The buildings have deteriorated badly and are now to the point where they are actually dangerous however we must plan to continue to house 4000 patients in dilapidated buildings and in frame structures that were built during an economy program Cheaply constructed buildings are not economy To erect buildings for the sake of saying that they were put up to take care of the patients in the jails is certainly not the solution These buildings that were erected some years ago are already in bad condition I am informed that they were leaking before the patients were ever placed in them They are also heated by coal stovesthe stoves being protected by placing poultry fencing around them However brick and mortar is not the final answer to our problem Education prevention and early treatment of the mentally sick is the only humane and economical answer to our problem A summarization of our most urgent needs is as follows
1 A definite increase in appropriation for maintenancethe increase being sufficient to at least employ more attendants and nurses so that they can spend fewer hours on duty This in my opinion would materially benefit the service they render the patients
2 A separate appropriation for buildings and repairs
3 A special appropriation for building a fire house and new fire equipment
4 A custodial department for seniles paralytics and other cases of like character that cannot be properly cared for in the counties
138
Department of Public Welfare
5 A custodial department for the institution at Gracewood so that this institution can be relieved of the low grade mental defectiveseven those in middle life
6 No more buildings should be erected for housing patients except buildings that are fire resistant
7 A law removing State Institutions from political interference
8 Purchase sufficient land in close proximity of the institution to grow all of the vegetables and food stuffs possible using the present Colony Farm for a dairy
9 Removal of the shops laundry mattress and broom factory to one central point making an industrial center By doing this the work of these departments can be more closely supervised and the present back yard could be converted into a recreational center for patients
10 Arrangements should be made for retirement of offcers and employees who have served faithfully and well over a long period of years
11 A cyclone wire fenece should be built around the buildings having not more than two entrances The traffic within the hospital grounds is as heavy as it is on many of the muchtraveled highways This is the only institution of this nature where no steps have ever been taken to keep out the general public and others who come to the institution through the sake of curiosity
12 New hardsurfaced roads are now being built on the Hospital Authority property and around the five new buildings I would urge that the paving program be extended into the old portion of the hospital and that one of the convict camps of the State be stationed near the hospital property to grade and beautify the old portion of the hospital grounds
The attached sheet gives general statistical information as to movement of patient population during the year Reports from the different departments of the institution are attached also
We have had many problems to confront us but with the advice and help given me by the members of the Board and the fine spirit of cooperation received from the present administration these problems have been solved More has been accomplished within these three and onehalf years than has been accomplished in almost one hundred years heretofore The victory is not wonwe still have as pointed out to you in this report numerous buildings that must be repaired
I wish to express to the Governor the Board and the officials and employees of this institution my heartfelt gratitude for the help and cooperation that has been given me

Dr John W Oden Superintendent
Dear Doctor Oden
The following pages contain the report of the medical department for the fiscal year ending June 30 1940
Fourteen hundred and sixtythree 1463 patients were received Of these eleven hundred and ten 1110 were first admissions and three hundred and fiftythree 353 were radmissions to this hospital or from some other mental hospital Of the patients admitted fourteen hundred and twentynine 1429 were examined both mentally and physically and presented to the staff for diagnostic consideration Twentyfour 24 died and ten 10 were furloughed before presentation
During the year eightyfive hundred and sixtyeight 8568 patients were treated
144
Department of Public Welfare
These figures were arrived at by taking the resident population July 1 1939 adding to this the total number of patients admitted during the fiscal year and the number of patients returned from furlough who were furloughed during the previous year
Number in hospital July 1 1939 6933
Number admitted during fiscal year 1463
Number returned from furlough 12
Total
8568
Four hundred and thirteen 413 patients died during the year General paralysis of the insane was the leading cause of death during the year with fiftyfour 34 Bronchopneumonia ranked second with fiftytwo 52 cerebral hemorrhage thir with fortyfour 44 and arteriosclerosis and pulmonary tuberculosis fourth with fortythree 43 each The death rate for the year was 48 of all patients treated during the year The average death rate for the previous fiveyear period was 55
A total of one thousand and two 1002 patients were furloughed and fortysix 46 were discharged as not insane making a total of one thousand and fortyeight 1048 patients released from the institution during the year Of these patients furloughed two hundred and ninetythree 293 were recorded as restored or 206 of all insane admissions during the fiscal year Five hundred and fortyfour 544 were recorded as improved or 382 of all insane admissions during the year The average recovery rate for the past three years as compared with the number of insane admissions was 251 The average improved rate for the past three years as compared with the insane admissions was 507 These figures compare most favorably with the figures of the fiscal year 19381939 when it is realized an effort was made last year to remove every patient from the institution that could possibly be removed on account of the overcrowded condition
Sixtythree 63 patients were admitted by order of the court The criminal charge together with the diagnosis is given below

We have continued the policy of segregating tubercular cases in so far as our facilities will permit There has been great strides in the treatment of tuberculosis and we look forward to having better facilities for treating these cases The spread of this disease is a problem under most favorable conditions and when you consider that we are dealing with insane patients it makes this problem more serious
We had no typhoid fever and no smallpox in the institution during the year We are systematically keeping our patient population immunized against these diseases
We have continued the policy of intensely treating all syphilitic patients with malarial inoculations neoarsphenamine mercury bismuth mapharsen and tryparsamide Some of these cases were given one of these agents while others were given various combinations of these agents We have routinely treated all cases of dementia paralytica whose physical condition would warrant this course Malarial inoculations have been given these patients in the main tertian malaria as a rule was administered to the white patients whereas quartan malaria was used in the colored cases We had no trouble getting takes with quartan malaria with the negroes whereas the tertian type was not at all satisfactory in this respect We feel very much encouraged with the results obtained in dementia paralytica with malarial inoculations or malaria in conjunction with tryparsamide bismuth and the arsphenamines
We have used insulin therapy with encouraging results This has been used chiefly in dementia praecox cases In one instance a group of forty 40 cases in the colored female department was treated with insulin with the following results five 5 were restored sixteen 16 were improved two 2 were temporarily improved fifteen 15 were unimproved and two 2 died Of these cases two 2 developed tuberculosis
We are using metrazol more and more as time goes on and we feel that we have a valuable agent in this drug Our results have been better in the manic depressive cases with this drug In one group consisting of ninetyfour 94 cases in the colored female department we report the following results twentythree 23 restored thirtynine 39 improved eight 8 temporarily improved remission during treatment six 6 eighteen 18 unimproved and two 2 died
Routine laboratory examinations were carried out on blood feces and urine
146
Department of Public Welfare
on all new cases When indicated other tests were made as follows complete spinal fluid examinations sputum examination qualitative and quantitative tests on blood for bromides or other chemicals quantitative estimates on N P nitrogen blood sugar etc
The occupation department continues to function under the direction of Mrs Mary C Parker For a more detailed report of this department we refer you to the report appended
We have continued the services of a voice teacher A chorus has been trained which has been the mainstay in various plays that are put on at intervals for the entertainment of the patients The program for entertanment and diversion for patients has been continued Chapel service as well as Sunday School classes are held weekly All patients whose condition will warrant and who desire to do so have an opportunity to attend dances baseball games etc
Three 3 commissaries are operated for the welfare of the patients Profit from this source is used for supplies for the various occupational therapy projects and for diversion and entertainment for the patients as well as to buy Christmas gifts for those who do not receive gifts from home
Classes from the different colleges and universities of the State have visited the institution during the year for clinical instruction in abnormal psychology and allied subjects These visitations are well worth the effort put forth by the institution as we feel they disseminate knowledge of utmost importance concerning mental cases and the early detection of mental symptoms
We all appreciate the great building program that is about completed at our institution through the untiring efforts of those in authority and we look forward to having more commodious and modern facilities for our insane
Various statistical data and tables form a major part of this report and the reader is referred to them for statistical information
Successful administration of the medical department depends on cooperation and due acknowledgment is here made for such cooperation
Respectfully

GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR MENTAL DEFECTIVES ANNUAL REPORT
By Edward W Schwall M D Superintendent
I herewith respectfully submit a report of the Georgia Training School for Mental Defectives for the fiscal year ending June 30 1940
Tables accompanying this report show the total population as of June 30th to be 318 an increase of 17 cases over the previous year with an average daily population of 305 Thirtyseven cases were admitted eleven discharged and nine deaths occurred during the year
The health of the patient population was satisfactory despite the fact that nine deaths occurred against none for the previous year This is explained by the fact that six of the deaths were caused by fire which destroyed a male dormitory A minor epidemic of influenza developed during the winter months and although many of the inmates having the infection were bedridden or in a feeble physical condition there was only one case of pneumonia and this terminated in recovery
Many of the inmates have to be fed and few chew their food thoroughly however very few illnesses of intestinal origin developed
Oral hygiene is one of the most important health problems presented in an institution of this kind Many cases are incapable of giving the slightest care to their teeth and gums and all require regular examination and prompt treatment for dental disorders During the fiscal year there were five hundred and fortyeight visits to the dentist Restorations numbered four hundred and thirtytwo These consisted mainly of silver fillings other types of fillings were used when indicated Extractions numbered fiftyeight and miscellaneous treatments plus scaling and cleaning amounted to two hundred and ninety The work done by the dental department listed above was performed by the dentist while visiting the institution in threehour periods five times monthly
There was an increase in the average daily school attendance from 110 for the previous year to 136 for the present fiscal year Although many of the new cases are of high school age when admitted those capable of receiving any benefit from schooling are given the opportunity Many cases admitted however never had the opportunity of attending school before reaching the institution The school like all other departments of the institution is greatly understaffed only one teacher being available with the psychologist helping with the kindergarten classes
It was realized several years ago by the Superintendent that the institution was not equipped with the proper buildings nor other facilities for the care of low grade mental and bedridden cases and with the help of the Board the admission of this type of case has been discouraged It is impossible to care for the destructive low grade cases without the proper buildings and the low grade imbeciles and bedridden cases should never be housed in frame dormitories as they are at present At least onethird of the present population is composed of this type of case many of which have reached maturity and are quite destructive and violent at times These cases should either be transferred to the Milledgeville State Hospital or custodial buildings be erected at Gracewood for their care Should fire occur in either of the two frame dormitories now housing these cases the loss of life would be appalling
Until 1937 many counties had no welfare agencies nor juvenile court facilities therefore especially in the rural areas mental defectives were unnoticed and no one bothered to file application for them unless they were bedridden or hopelessly defec
194
Department of Public Welfare
tive As a consequence the large counties having adequate facilities for locating defective patients promptly filed applications and consequently got a large number in the institution In order to remedy this situation it was necessary to figure each countys quota on a population basis and from the results obtained it has been possible to reduce the number of counties not represented to 4729 of which have no applications on file To give the rural counties preference it has been necessary to restrict considerably admission of cases from those counties that have filled or exceeded their quota of cases in the institution I regret that it was necessary to impose this hardship on many of the counties having urgent cases on file but I feel that since the institution is supported by the entire state every single section of the state should be represented proportionately in its population
Early on the morning of December 18 1939 the Circular Court Dormitory was destroyed by fire and although the highest type of mental cases at the institution were in the building six lost their lives This was a mortality rate of 25 so one can imagine what the loss of life would be if one of the frame buildings at Gracewood now housing 130 low grade mental cases some bedridden should burn The fire originated in a closet on the lower floor and was beyond control before discovered The attendant succeeded in getting most of the inmates safely downstairs however five were overlooked in the dense smoke These were suffocated in their sleep and their bodies with the exception of one inmate were removed from their beds after the fire was brought under control The attendant Mr T W Garland showed extreme courage in rescuing the other inmates and almost lost his life as he remained so long in the building that he was unable to leave except by way of a window amid dense smoke which almost overcame him One inmate died a few days later in an Augusta hospital from burns received as he left the building A seventh inmate was severely burned but recovered A more detailed report of this unfortunate occurrence was made to the Board late in December
Farm production for the year except for corn and oats was satisfactory Corn produced other than that consumed while green amounted to 3424 bushels compared with 5088 for the previous year The decrease was due to unfavorable weather conditions and was experienced by many farmers in this section During the intense cold extensive damage was done to the oat crop and reduced the yield from 4515 bushels for the previous year to 2720 bushels for the present year Cotton production increased from 43 bales for the previous year to 66 bales for the present year Wheat production increased from 618 bushels to 1232 bushels Sale of cotton produced by the institution brought a return of 338651 Milk produced amounted to 21506 gallons and the institution was not forced to purchase additional milk
New construction at the institution included the construction of a fiftybed hospital building under a WTA contract and paving of the drives from Highway 25 to the institution and through its grounds The paving is also being done by the WPA and is sponsored by the State Highway Department
The Hospital Building was completed except for installation of radiators painting and sewer connections when the money for this was exhausted on June 1st A supplementary project has been approved and work will be resumed in a few days
A deep well at Circular Court Farm was drilled in the early spring a 25000
State of Georgia
195
gallon tank erected and an underground distribution system connecting the tank and the various buildings has been installed This was handled by private contract Contract has also been let for installation of a turbine pump which of course must be installed before the Dormitory can be used
An 80000gallon tank has been completed at Gracewood new underground water lines installed and an electrical distribution system erected Work on a deep well has also been undertaken however a depth of over 900 feet has been reached without striking water in any quantity The drilling of the well to 1000 feet has been approved by the Board and if water has not been reached at this depth it will be necessary to drill an additional depth or abandon the well and select a new location The work described above has been done under private contract and the well drilling also under the same type of contract
With money received from sale of the cotton plus Soil Conservation payments which altogether total 410560 new equipment was purchased for the institutions laundry This machinery consisted of a large Monel metal washer motordriven extractor two motordriven drying tumblers and a 20 horse power boiler The efficiency of the laundry by the addition of this equipment has increased remarkably
Although the institution has been forced to operate on curtailed appropriations and thereby prevented from enlarging its service it finished the year without a deficit Cash surplus as of June 30 1940 is 715676 This will be quite useful in the coming year should revenue receipts continue at the present low rate
In concluding this report concerning the activities of the Georgia Training School for Mental Defectives for the fiscal year ending June 30 1940 I would like to recommend for the careful consideration of the Board of Welfare and others interested
First That the Legislature at its next meeting provide means to pay the institution s appropriation in full so that the Boys Dormitory at Circular Court can be fully utilized to relieve the male waiting list of eleven years standing
Second Erection of a fireproof building or buildings to care for the custodial cases now housed in frame dormitories
I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Welfare its Director members of the Institution s Committee and Director of Division of Institutions for their helpful advice direction and kind cooperation
Respectfully submitted

GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BOYS W E Ireland Superintendent Milledgeville Ga
Previous annual reports to the present Board have dealt minutely with the meager and totally inadequate facilities and revenue means available to the School for meeting the problem that is delegated to it by statute Consequently the program for the physical and educational needs of the children who have come to the Institution has been extremely limited Currently our boys are housed in temporary quarters of woodframe construction In many respects the conditions relating to housing and program are quite as they have been heretofore The frame buildings do constitute a fire hazard however and should be vacated as soon as funds are made available for staffing and operating the new plant Statistical tables on certain phases of the Institutions activity for the fiscal year just ended are included in this report as follows

This report is written both with a sense of deep gratification and a sense of grave responsibility It is to a degree climactic It comes at a time when the fruits of many years effort to obtain among other things a creditable physical plant for our School are ripening On the other hand it comes in the dawn of a new era an era of opportunity and of obligation Further it is an era in which it is hoped that in its immediate early stage it will be possible to launch the longneeded trainprogram that is paramount to the ultimate successful use of the physical plant which will be completed in the near future
Over a period of many years past boys have been taken into custody by the various courts of the State and committed to the Training School on the theory that they 1 had become behavior problems in their respective communities and 2 that they were being sent to a school where opportunities for training in the ordinary educational subjects and in the proper social pattern were awaiting them The justifiable inference by almost countless numbers of these boys has been that their State through its constituted agents was proposing to help them They inferred that they could return to society as individuals sufficiently trained in economic and social subjects to enable them to take up respectable places in the competitive scheme of things Their hearts must have sunk and their ambition smoldered when they found themselves at the School and in the drab and dreary surroundings presented by the horribly dilapidated buildings and the almost complete lack of opportunity for preparation to meet their life needs They must have feltmany of themthat their State had failed them
200
Department of Public Welfare
At no previous time in the history of the State has it been of such vital importance that the public and the legislative representatives of our people concern themselves with the problems and the opportunities of the School One of the most modern training school plants in the country is nearing completion at the old site of the Institution This plant embodies the arrangement and training facilities essential to a comprehensive and objective treatment of the health education and social needs of those boys whose behavior and social maladjustment make them an acknowledged responsibility of the State
There is provided in the new setup ample living recreational academic and vocational educational housing space for accommodating three hundred boys As pointed out in former reports the capacity of the Institution has for several years been sufficient for only one hundred and fifty boys The present turnover is approximately 100 every twelve months which is made necessary by the heavy demands for admissions There is a considerable waiting list at present and the indications are that as soon as the new plant is opened it will be filled to capacity as rapidly as admissions can be handled
In the light of current institutional practice the provision for mere physical care of children in institutions is no longer considered constructive The effectiveness of the institutional program today is dependent upon the utility and the value of the skills which are brought into the training program of its children It is therefore readily obvious that while housing and equipment are basic requirements in undertaking a balanced and wellrounded training program they are not the only essentials The final value of the institutions program to society and the individuals dealt with rests at least equally upon adequate physical facilities and the allimportant element of sufficient and properly trained personnel in proportion to the potentialities of the physical plant It is therefore clearly indicated that greatly increased funds will be required in order to maintain the enlarged plant and to inaugurate and conduct a desirable and effective program in connection with the vastly increased and improved physical facilities Members of the Board are therefore urged to study carefully the needs of the School on the basis of its enlargement and an enhanced program and to formulate definite plans for impressing these needs upon the Legislature at its next session
This opportunity is taken officially to record my lasting appreciation for the fine interest and the inestimable help of Governor Rivers in developing the Schools building program Not only has he found ways of making the necessary funds available but he has been doubly generous and always cheerful in giving of his time and counsel His understanding of and response to the merited need of the School should afford him a place of permanent prominence in the hearts of all boys whose lives it shall touch in the future I am also deeply appreciative of the splendid help and cooperation rendered by the members of the Boardparticularly the Training School Committee membersin this progressive accomplishment

GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS ATLANTA GA
By Mrs Joe Pruitt Superintendent
During the past year a great many improvements have been made at the Georgia Training School for Girls The Works Progress Administration has completed the Building and Repair Program and the new building to replace the present Receiving Cottage is ready for occupancy as soon as it is furnished This building will accommodate fifty inmates One of the many advantages of the new building will be that each girl will have a separate room thus doing away with the old system of dormitories
During the building program a large storage tank for a reserve water supply was erected This tank is filled by an automatic electric pump This reserve water supply fills a great need as the school is located near the end of the water main and the water pressure is too low to give the institution an adequate supply of water
The playground equipment is being repaired and painted and put in firstclass condition so that the girls may have the full benefit of it during the summer months while the weather is favorable for outdoor games
Commitment to the school is made by courts throughout the State Girls under sixteen are committed by the Juvenile Courts and those over sixteen by the City and Superior Courts Children under ten years of age should not be committed to the Training School At present there is no minimum age in regard to commitments The average age at commitment is 1415 years The minimum length of time spent at the school is fifteen months
Psychological tests should be given before commitment in order that the mentally deficient child may be sent to the Training School for IViental Defectives and the incorrigible child to the Training School There are fifteen girls enrolled in the school at present who should be in the institution at Gracewood Six of this number are unable to do First Grade work in school Arrangements were made with committing courts for three of this group of fifteen to be placed in Gracewood in June of 1937 but due to the overcrowded condition at Gracewood they are still in the Training School
The general health of the school has been excellent All members of the school are given physical examinations and medical and dental care as needed A trained nurse under the supervision of the physician is in charge of the health program Many of the girls are in poor physical condition when they are admitted to the school There has been an increase of almost fifty per cent in the number of venereal cases admitted during the past year
Routine tests for venereal disease and intestinal parasites are made at time of entrance These tests are repeated at regular intervals until all possibility of infection is eliminated The school physician holds a clinic once a week and answers all emergency calls Dental clinics are held as often as necessary All girls receive a dental examination every three to four months and such work as is necessary is done at time of examination with emergency work between examinations if necessary A hospital is needed to meet the medical requqirements of the school
In order to give every girl an opportunity for school and industrial training the daily program is as follows During the morning the girls in the first second third
State of Georgia
207
B sixth and seventh grades attend school and in the afternoon the third A fourth fifth and eighth grades The half day not in school they receive training in sewing cooking laundry housework and gardening
The Daily Schedule is as follows

A chapel service is held each morning at 830 Religious services are held each Sunday as follows Sunday School 1030 A M Chapel Services 300 P M and Christian Endeavor at 700 P M The Chapel Service on Sunday afternoon is entirely in charge of the girls who live in the honor cottages one of whom takes charge of the preliminary service and introduces the speaker The Business Mens Evangelist Club of Atlanta has furnished a speaker each Sunday afternoon for the past twenty years
The Recreational Program of the school is maintained through the cooperation of teachers and matrons Daily periods of play and relaxation with outdoor activities include baseball dodge ball and other outdoor games Indoor activities include amateur programs short plays and a variety of indoor games A modern R C A Photophone is a means of giving excellent entertainment each Saturday afternoon The films are furnished gratis by local branches of national film companies The film companies have extended this courtesy for the past nineteen years The selection of films furnished is excellent and by far the most interesting feature of the schools recreational program Each cottage is supplied with a radio and a piano The radios are placed where they can be used in the school room for programs that are used in the public schools
PAROLE WORK
It has been difficult to find suitable homes offering protection and supervision for girls who are ready to be placed on parole It is often necessary for them to remain here a much longer period than the minimum time because of the difficulty of finding suitable homes as the majority of them come from broken homes which accounts for their delinquency in the first place Only twentysix of the present enrollment have parents who are living together The County Directors of the State Department of Public Welfare have been of great assistance to the school

GEORGIA ACADEMY FOR THE BLIND ANNUAL REPORT By J W Williams Superintendent
ENROLLMENT
The enrollment at the white school was fifty boys and thirtysix girls making a total of eightysix at the colored school twentytwo boys and twentythree girls making a total of fortyfive The total enrollment for both schools was one hundred and thirtyone which was an increase of nine over the previous year
PERSONNEL
Since the last report there have been several changes in the personnel Superintendent G F Oliphant was retired as Superintendent Emeritus and was succeeded by J W Williams Miss Hazel Hughes succeeded Miss Emma Jones as teacher of the first grade Mrs J W Williams replaced Mrs S J Jarrell as the supervisor of the boys Mrs Maude Smith was transferred from the clerical to the instructional department and Mir Cecil C Clementssucceeded her as secretary
LITERARY DEPARTMENT
The curriculum embraces the standard work of ten grades which is one year shy of the college entrance requirement This necessitates an extra year of work in some accredited high school before our students are privileged to enter college Therefore we feel this imposes an additional handicap upon the students of our school and we propose to remove this second handicap by raising our curriculum and teaching force to meet the demands of the accrediting board of our state schools The additional courses to be offered will include journalism which offers almost equal opportunities to the blind as a vocation home economics which is most important training for the girls in health and homemaking and additional shop work for both boys and girls
Many of our students who have found it possible to enter college have had little trouble in making excellent records at Mercer University Middle Georgia College and University of Georgia After graduation they have taken their place in the business and professional world and occupy responsible positions in society
While we are still far short of having all the necessary equipment for the literary department we have added in the past year a Braille writer several new talking book records two talking book machines additional magazines and numerous books The talking book machines are used under the supervision of the teachers and these have proved most helpful in the instruction of the advanced students
Because of the deprivation of sight the function of seeing must be transferred to the other physical senses particularly to the sense of touch Consequently the finest development of the tactile sense must be encouraged This requires skill on the part of the instructor better methods and highly specialized equipment To this end we have been searching everywhere to find the best that could be offered A large part of the program of the Convention of the American Association of Instructors for the Blind which we attended at Pittsburgh in June was devoted to discussions of teaching by scientifically constructed model forms We shall recommend a thorough investigation of this field and the adaptation of as much of this type of instruction as may be practicable and as our budget will permit
212
Department of Public Welfare
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Music is the one art in which blind people make the nearest approach to equality of achievement with sighted people for this reason music
always will be one of the outstanding parts of the education of the blind Blind people have to develop a keener sense of sound values and the harmony of music not only brings out a finer aesthetic sense of harmony but also develops to a higher degree the sense of hearing Here as in every like institution the study and practice of music play an important part in the curriculum All who show an aptitude for music are given instructions in this department those who are found to be without this talent are given the opportunity for the exercise of whatever abilities they may have and are put in other departments Piano tuning and teaching music are found to be the most profitable and satisfactory vocations for our students who have the necessary talent and perserverence There have been no changes in the music department during the year and on account of a reduced budget we were not able to have the number of music teachers that are really necessary for the department We hope to put on a full time voice teacher next term in order that the fullest advantage for voice culture may be given Our students in voice culture piano and pipe organ compare very favorably with students from other schools in competitive tests and have been able to hold their own with credit
The department is equipped with an excellent pipe organ and a sufficient number of pianos We have an excellent library of music and the music director assisted by a senior student has charge of the library
All students who finish the prescribed course are awarded certificates in music This year one student received a certificate in piano and pipe organ
TYPING
In the first four grades the students are taught to read and write Braille only and all written school work must be handed in to the teacher written in Braille Beginning with the fifth grade all pupils are instructed in typing and beginning with the sixth grade all written work must be handed in typewritten In this way every student is required to use the typewriter in connection with school work As a result after students pass the sixth grade they are able to communicate with each other by Braille writing and with the sighted by using the typewriter Some of our students become very expert in the use of the typewriter which is a very profitable asset in any vocational training Next year we are making a change in the typing department and are giving instruction in typing to students beginning with the fourth grade If possible we plan to give more time to the practice of typing Our equipment in typing machines has been adequate but next year we shall need more typewriters in order to carry out the above plan
MANUAL TRAINING
In any institution for the education of the blind manual training is of paramount importance The reasons for this are apparent to all who have given the subject any thought Very few blind children have ever had an opportunity to use their hands in the normal way The purpose of manual training for the blind child is not primarily to turn out finished articles but to strengthen the hands and to give him certain skill which he may later use in various types of vocational work The equipment in the manual training department for boys is about the same as the school
State of Georgia
213
has had for the past several years The boys are taught to use woodworking tools and some of the students have turned out creditable work We have an equipment of woodworking machines No new additions have been made during the past year The purpose of these machines is not primarily to train our students to use them but to develop a correlation of activity of the mind and hands
Capable boys are trained in piano tuning and piano repairing They are also taught chair caning Many of our former students earn good salaries as piano tuners At present this seems to be the most profitable vocation for which we offer training
To the boy who finishes the course prescribed for repairing pianos and piano tuning we offer certificates This year there were five boys who received certificates in this field One of these graduates left immediately upon graduation to fill a position as store tuner for Kimball Piano Company in Orangeburg South Carolina We understand that the other graduates of this year are doing well also as custom tuners
As in the boys manual training department the main purpose in the girls training department is to develop strength and skill in the hands of pupils who have never had any previous training in this way before coming to the Academy The school is equipped with an outfit of looms which enable us to give instruction in various kinds of weaving The girls are also taught matmaking crocheting knitting basketry sewing and chair caning
No certificate is offered in this department Our present plan calls for an enlarged sewing department One of the rooms is being remodeled so that it may be equipped with the necessary number of sewing machines and other equipment essential to this department
HOME ECONOMICS
We plan to have the old hospital building which has not been used for several years remodeled and equipped for a modern home economics department This plan calls for a living room bedroom dining room and a kitchen A full time home economics teacher who will train the students in cooking home making and living will be in charge of this department We consider this one of the greatest additions that can be made to the curriculum of an institution for the blind
LIBRARY
The library has about five thousand volumes which consist of the best and most standard literature To the five thousand volumes that we now have we are adding a thousand volumes during the next school year The new library now under construction in its physical appointments will be the last word in convenience and efficiency of arrangement in attractiveness of design combining all the factors that make for comfort In the new library there will be two large rooms a reading room a stack room and a small room for an office For the lack of money the task of a full time librarian is assigned to the high school principal who is assisted by some of the senior students
214
Department of Public Welfare
COMMENCEMENT AND GRADUATION
So far as records show commencement and graduation exercises were held for the first time in the history of the school Commencement sermon senior play class night music recitals and graduation were the events of the commencement week The literary address was delivered by the Honorable Braswell Deen Director of the Welfare Department Junior High School certificates were awarded to three girls and three boys We consider this a red letter day in the history of the institution We feel that the beginning of a new era for the Georgia Academy for the Blind will date from this time and that boys and girls may have the expectation of an institution that will make as full compensation as possible and give as near equal opportunity for the blind children as those who attend other educational institutions We believe that this will lead to an entirely new outlook and to an expansion of the schools activities that will be farreaching
AWARDS
Through the thoughtfulness and generosity of Captain Frank W Spencer of Savannah Georgia a member of the Welfare Board the four boys and the three girls who showed marked excellence in attitude loyalty cooperation scholarship and in general improvement were awarded a weeks outing at Savannah Beach as guests of Captain Spencer at his seaside cottage Awards of this kind are more than appreciated by our blind children
NEGRO SCHOOL
The Negro school building having been remodeled last year is now fireproof It has concrete stairways and steel doors and window sashes in the new annex
No changes in the course of study or personnel have been made during the past year The course of study covers seven grades and the work done is equivalent to work done in the seventh grade in the standard public schools Some of our students enter the high school of their communities when they finish the work here
Due to financial conditions we have been unable to add all the equipment needed in the various departments during the year but this is to be taken care of before school opens in September The dining room and kitchen have new equipment throughout We have had no serious illness during the year the health of the student body has been remarkably good As at the white school all physical tests and examinations have been made

SUMMARY
The white and Negro schools have been in operation for the full school year The remodeling and the rearrangement of the white school has been under way since last September The architectural requirements when met will be the realization and fulfilment of a vision of a building undertaking to approach perfection in design arrangement beauty and comfort
The building program and its ultimate realization will be more deeply appreciated when it is taken into consideration that practically nothing has been done in the way of repair and remodeling since its construction in 1906 except a small amount of repair work and painting in 1932
The student body as a whole has enjoyed remarkable health The number of cases of serious illness has been at a minimum Blood tests and other tests pertaining to the health of our student body have been made during the year
We regret that we have not had a full time physical training teacher due to the fact that our appropriations have not permitted us to do so Some instruction in this department is attempted with a fair degree of success by the manual training teacher of the girls and as much instruction as is possible under these circumstances is given We are looking forward to having in the near future full time directors of physical education for the boys and girls
We are grateful to the Department of Public Welfare for the opportunity to attend the convention of the American Association of Instructors for the Blind at Pittsburgh and feel that we gained many ideas that will be beneficial to our school
We who have the responsibility of directing the education of our handicapped children are ever conscious of the fact that we must have the financial and moral support as well as the sympathy of the public if our efforts accomplish the maximum benefits Therefore the superintendent faculty and patronage of the Georgia Academy for the Blind wish to express to Governor E D Rivers Honorable Braswell Deen Director of Public Welfare Board Members of the Department of Public Welfare especially Captain Frank W Spencer who has manifested very much interest in our school and our many other friends throughout the state our very deep and sincere appreciation for every consideration given us during the past year
You can never know just how much your interests have meant to us in making the past year one of the best in the history of our institution Your thoughtfulness and efforts in our behalf have been a constant inspiration to us and have encouraged us to work harder to make the Georgia Academy for the Blind the realization of your hopes and dreams
And when our tasks are over And others our places fill
On the eternal stage of action May our works deserve to live

GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF ANNUAL REPORT By C H Hollingsworth Superintendent
It is regretted that we have to again report a curtailed school term for the year 193940 That this situation to a great extent was occasioned by the extensive new building and repair program that has been in progress for the past two years alleviates many fears regarding the future of the school While there was not money sufficient to support a longer term than these short sessions held the importance of giving right of way to the physical improvement program cannot be overestimated
Early during the next year new buildings will be completed and old buildings repaired to the extent that there will be adequate space and facilities to offer a wellrounded school program to all of Georgias deaf children entitled to this opportunity Prior to this expansion and these improvements just slightly more than onehalf of our children handicapped with deafness could be accommodated At the same time this smaller group were taught and housed under conditions that were deplorable and in buildings that were unsafe It remains now for the state to provide funds sufficient to operate the school with the anticipated increased enrollment and for nine months each year
A capital outlay of about onehalf million dollars has advanced the physical assets of the school to a parity with the best of similar institutions in our Southland Certainly this improvement must be matched with operating funds that are commensurate and that will provide education and training to this hitherto neglected group of handicapped children
The following charts depict the irregularity of the schools operation and the shortness of the school term this past year

It will be noted that there was no beginning class until March 14 Many parents were reluctant to send their children to school so late in the year and for such a short time This accounts for a considerable loss in enrollment in the Primary Department It also greatly multiplies the problems of proper classification and progress next year

FACULTY
Despite the fact that the Primary teachers worked and received pay for only four and onehalf months of the past year and those in the Intermediate and Advanced Departments only six months there has been a definite improvement in the professional status of the faculty It is noted that ten of the eleven teachers in the Advanced Department have certificates above C class Seven of these eleven instructors possess provisional class UA certificates A college graduate with one additional year s specialized training and three years of practical teaching experience The better showing in this department is accounted for by the fact that this division was organized only three years ago and its entire building has been aimed at an accredited status for the school while at the same time developing the proper advanced schooling that has been denied the deaf of our state for more than a quarter of a century
Improvement in this direction has greatly improved the professional atmosphere of the faculty and has inspired each individual teacher to better prepare herself for her work This improvement is all the more gratifying when it is recalled that there was not one teacher qualifying for a Class A certificate three years ago An analysis of the teacher qualifications shows the following results
Primarv Department Class A 0 Class B 4 Class C 3 No Class 1
Advanced Department 7 3 1 0
Vocational Department 3 0 1 5
Colored Department 0 0 2 2
The faculty of the academic department is comprised of nineteen classroom teachers and two physical education directors who teach part time as well as direct the outside activities There are seven fulltime and two parttime vocational instructors
present staff is conscientious and devoted to duty The teachers are cooperating splendidly and are to be commended for their excellent spirit despite shortened school terms and low salaries
COURSES OF STUDY

A study of the schedule shows that the pupils are in school four hours ai
thirty minutes and in vocational work two hours and fifteen minutes The classroom time is divided into six equal periods of fortyfive minutes each Each teacher teaches one subject to every grade This enables the teacher to become a specialist and concentrate her effort on one line of attack The last period of teacher s time her homeroom class returns to her for studyhour work This period is a teahing period and not merely completing the homework which the teacher has given It is to teach the boy or girl how to study
It will also be found that the day is really divided into three major periods 8001015 10301245 155410 We do this in order to rotate periods and classes with the vocational department The advantage in this procedure is that the shop instructor receives only a few boys all day rather than a great many boys at one time We are thus able to make better use of our time

This analysis of courses of study and daily schedules is made a part of this report because of the complete metamorphosis that was necessary in revising courses to meet standard requirements and to include the advanced courses of study that
3 wellrounded High School education to those boys and girls capable of profitably assimilating same
With this aim in view the faculty was organized into study groups for the purpose of revising the course of study and methods of instruction One of the results of this study was an increased interest upon reading in the primary grades Heretofore reading has followed speechreading speech and language Now reading is placed ahead and the results so far have been gratifying
That the advanced department arrangement is workable is attested to by the fact that there is marked evidence of greatly stimulated interest on the part of the faculty and students together with a correspondent spurt in learning For the first time in twentyseven years the Georgia School for the Deaf last June qualified two graduates to enter Gallaudet College Gallaudet College supported by the Federal Government offers complete collegiate training to graduates of state schools where no local provision is made Entrance is by competitive examination
From a total of twentyfive students selected from the various states Georgia received two appointments In addition to these gratifying results the progress of a great number of students indicates a supply of students capable of being prepared to accept this opportunity each succeeding year This advanced training that the State of Georgia has not heretofore supported is absoltuely essential to our schools final recognition as a standard and accredited member in our American Conference of Schools for the Deaf
This report could not be complete without reference to the vocational department that has been advanced expanded and made to integrate with the academic courses of study
VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENT
In the fall of 1937 Vocational Agriculture and Vocational Home Economics were added to our vocational program These two courses were made to conform with the provisions of the SmithHughes and GeorgeDeen Acts and the work supervised by our State Department of Vocational Education In the fall of 1938 all classes in the trades and industrial department were made to conform and came under the direct supervision of this State Department This past year ninetyseven boys and girls were enrolled in vocational classes and twenty boys did prevocational work in an Arts and Crafts class In all six fulltime and two parttime trades were taught namely Agriculture Home Making Printing Shoe Repairing Woodworking Industrial Sewing and Arts and Crafts With the exception of two classes all students received two hours and fifteen minutes a day instruction These two classes received four hours and fifteen minutes a day There were fourteen enrolled in these latter two classes one group of boys and one of girls A revision of the course of instruction is now under way All instructors in the vocational department are on committees for the revision of classroom curriculum The plan is to incorporate the language and mathematics necessary for trades and industries in the eveeryday program thus the pupil will be better prepared to pursue his trade Plans are being made to build a course of study designed primarily for the boys and girls who are not going to college the major emphasis being on vocational
222
Department of Public Welfare
work In this arrangement some vocational training is required of every student But at the same time a boy or girl who cannot make appreciable progress in the academic department has an opportunity to major in vocational training thereby being fitted for some specific work as a means of livlihood
Two parttime industries have been added machine shop practice and landscape gardening Preparation is being made to add three other specific trades automobile mechanics ceramics and beauty culture for girls Along with the development of our academic program special emphasis has been given the vocational training department and we believe it has greatly enhanced the opportunity for our deaf boys and girls to become happy selfsupporting citizens
As a part of our vocational expansion and as a great economic asset to the school a farm consisting of 450 acres was bought in February of 1939 Its purpose was to serve as a training ground for students of agriculture to furnish food for the dining room and to support a dairy sufficiently large to supply the school with milk The farm consists of 140 acres that are cultivateable 50 acres in pasture and the remainder mostly in mountainous woodland Fences and buildings were in bad condition and the farm could best be described as badly run down It was possible to initiate and carry on a partial program with the following results

To replenish the dairy herd sixteen heifer calves have been saved during the past three years The oldest of these are now in production and promise to make good cows A dairy barn and milk house designed for 48 cows have been built at a cost of approximately 250000 Plans for these were secured from the extension agricultural engineer These buildings are modern and all equipment is up to date and the best obtainable The cost of the buildings was greatly reduced by the fact that much salvage material was used in their construction while most of the work was done by our own school force Six hundred rods of permanent fencing have been put up Thirty acres of hairy vetch were turned under during the spring of 1940 to improve the soil Twenty acres of lespedeza have been seeded in badly eroded areas to prevent washing and to improve the soil Plans are under way to utilize this farm to a greater extent in the future by adding poultry home orchards and other enterprises
A program of wild life development has been worked out in cooperation with the State Wild Life Division A series of lakes on the farm have been drained and will be restocked with fish under the guidance of this State Department Feeding areas for quail have been set apart on badly eroded areas along the edges of the
223
State of Georgia
fields Twentyfive pair of quail have been secured from which young quail are bemg raised as a project of students of agriculture Young birds will be given to the boys to carry home while others will be turned loose on the school farm
PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND COCURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Because of insufficient facilities and teaching personnel physical education had not advanced commensurately with the rest of the school program until the past year The State Department of Public Welfare gave the privilege of soft drink concessions while the new building and repair program was in progress to the Georgia School for the Deaf Athletic Association This proved to be a moneymaking project for our boys and girls and at the same time taught them valuable lessons m economics and enterprise Through the sale of soft drinks candies and other edibles approximately 80000 was raised 75000 has been spent for equipment Every child m the school has benefitted through this purchase of supplies Complete uniforms for twentytwo boys have been bought new basketball uniforms for both ys an Slfls y tennis balls rackets nets shoes and all necessary equipment for tennis ping pong sets horseshoes volley balls and soft ball equipment for the intermediate advanced and primary departments In addition to these athletic supplies nurnerous other items for the various hobby group needs were bought This particular source of revenue made selfsupporting practically every activity in the school outside of the school rooms and the shops
The program of physical education at present is as follows
1 All major sports football basketball and track with scheduled competition with public high schools and other schools for the deaf
2 Full program of minor sports tennis handball badminton volley ball soccer horseshoes and archery
3 Full program of leisure time activities hobbies conservation club camera dub airplane club dancing club glee club hiking club Boy Scouts Girl Scouts
mtting club handicraft club use of small tools in home workshop
Religious and intellectual activities are also sponsored by the school There is a Sunday School organization with its own officers which meets every Sunday morning m the school Chapel After this service any boy or girl who wishes may attend one of the Sunday School classes in either of the two city churches There is one
teacher of the deaf in each of these two churches to care for the deaf students that attend
Once each month the student body attends church as a group and the sermon is interpreted for them Twice a month the Lyceum Club meets and has its program These programs are in the form of debates plays dialogues outside speakers on current events and other worthwhile endeavors Story hour is held twice a month at which time a member of the faculty or one of the advanced pupils tells a story Once a month and on all holidays socials or parties are held for the pupils
TEXTBOOKS
Through the provision of the free textbook law we have been provided 1928 stateowned textbooks Prior to this and for many years past there were very few textbooks in the school In lieu of books teachers had to rely on improvised workbooks charts etc The importance of these added books in our newly organized academic department cannot be overestimated
224
Department of Public Welfare
In addition to these stateowned books there are approximately 500 books purchased during the past three years With the exception of a few to enlarge our science department we do not need any more textbooks however there is a great need of a general library Several hundred books have been donated for this purpose but these are not of our selection and do not by any means constitute a library It is hoped that next year we will have some money available for matching state funds in securing stateowned library books A good library is indispensable in a modern and progressive school for the deaf
ACOUSTIC TRAINING
A most exhaustive study and investigation by experts has disclosed the fact that the most profitable method of teaching a large portion of our deaf boys and girls is through the ear Any remnant of hearing that a child might possess is a great asset in the learning process if it can be properly harnessed and utilized An audiometer was purchased about one year ago and was used in the past year for testing hearing and making audiograms Seventyfive per cent of the pupils have been tested and a great many of these would benefit greatly by the use of the proper hearing aid We are at present equipped with two soundproof rooms and we have definite assurance that the instruments needed will be supplied We will then need a skilled teacher of acoustics It is hoped that this need will be filled

Department of Public Welfare
Of the 130 children who have either already applied or who have been reported to us by County Welfare Departments and other reliable agencies there are probably 100 eligible to attend school and should be enrolled this fall This list does not include eligibles beyond the age of twelve In other words it is the barest minimum of those for whom we could render maximum service by enrolling them while they are yet young and most impressionable The number of deaf children unreported and those that we know of between the ages of twelve and eighteen easily add another one hundred to the waiting list All of this group should be enrolled as soon as personnel equipment and operating funds are sufficient to care for this enlarged enrollment To care for this minimum that we should enroll eleven additional teachers are needed The present ratio between teacher and pupil is 1 to 96 in the school for white children and 1 to 101 in the colored department This ratio should not be enlarged The average in the United States in schools for the deaf is about six pupils per teacher while experts concede a ratio of 1 to 8 to be the optimal teacherpupil load for good results
CONCLUSIONS
The end of the present calendar year will witness the completion of a physical improvement program at the Georgia School for the Deaf that increases the evaluation of this state property from 10000000 to 75000000 Attesting to the justification of this improvement and expansion is the fact as divulged in this report that almost onehalf of the children entitled under the law to this special education and opportunity have been denied that privilege over a period of a great many years that the privileged few were taught under conditions that were deplorable housed in buildings that were positively dangerous and that this particular state function as compared with the similar functions as performed by our sister states had reached the borderline of public disgrace The physical assets of our school are now largely adequate The academic and vocational programs have been revolutionized and revitalized to the extent that we now have standard and acceptable courses of study extending through the eleventh grade level The first high school class in more than a quarter of a century was graduated this past June Two of the seven graduates on competitive examination have already been granted scholarships and will enter college this fall As previously suggested it now remains for the state to furnish operating funds sufficient to support this expanded service and to keep the school open nine months each year
After this building and repair program is completed and provision is made to operate the school nine months in the year Georgia can then claim one of the most uptodate and progressive schools for the deaf in our country

ADULT SERVICE SECTION By E D Dixon Field Representative
Under provisions of the Welfare Reorganization Act of 1937 the State Department of Public Welfare is authorized to cooperate in the supervision of all correctional activities including the operation of all penal and correctional institutions of the State together with parole supervising of probation services segregation of first offenders and the inspection of local jails
It has been possible to inspect every county jail in Georgia during the past year This is the third time in several years that all the county jails have been inspected in a years time Likewise through the cooperation of the sheriffs the annual reports of jail population figures were secured for the third time since the Department was formed in 1919
The conditions of the county jails have improved greatly This improvement is probably due to three things first the continuous cooperation and inspections of the Department carried on by personnel familiar with jail problems second the willingness of sheriffs jailers and county officials to cooperate in improving jail conditions third the activities of the Federal Government through the Works Progress Administration and the Public Works Administration in the construction of new jails and renovation of old jails
During the past three years 15 counties completed construction of new jails Fourteen other counties improved their jails by completely renovating them At the present time three counties are constructing new jails and several are painting the interior to give better light and improve sanitary conditions At the time of jail inspection every consideration is given the following points Safety of the jail from escape safety from fire hazards management discipline sanitation food medical attention segregation of races sexes insane and juveniles capacity of jail availability to court house dieting fees equipment such as bunks basins lights toilets showers sleeping facilities also recreation and religious activities
After the inspections recommendations either minor or major are made to the following persons County commissioners or ordinaries sheriffs jailers judges of the Superior Courts and foremen of the Grand Juries These recommendations are made for the purpose of public record inasmuch as immediately after the time of inspections the county officials are contacted personally if possible and the recommendations given them verbally
Most all of the architects plans for new county jails are examined by this Department This has been found to be a very valuable service since this Department maintains a complete file on each county jail the population of each year and the various classes confined each year The Department can easily determine the necessary requirements of a new jail as to size and number of compartments needed It is also valuable because due to the filing system it can ascertain the general trend of jail population and easily recommend the space which would be necessary to house the anticipated number in the years to come This has proved valuable due to a recent experience in which a county was intending to build a jail which would not properly care for the number of prisoners confined at one time during the past year Apparently no consideration was given to the number to be confined in the next several years
One basis for reasoning that jail conditions have improved is the fact that during
230
Department of Public Welfare
the past five years complaints received from prisoners and friends have decreased each year For each complaint received an investigation is made and a report submitted to the complainant as well as the officials who could correct the situation providing the complaint was justifiable The complaints found justifiable were results of lack of heat or lack of substantial and sufficient food In these cases the jails were found to be many years old using small stoves for heating purposes In these cases generally there are neither hot water nor bathing facilities
One of the most progressive steps observed during the past three years was the separation or segregation of juvenile offenders Most of the sheriffs and county officials realize the importance of segregation since companionship forced by confinement generally imprints on the mind of youth daring boldness of the hardened criminal
The following figures which show the number confined in county jails during the past five years indicate to some extent the necessity for segregating juvenile offenders

One improvement noticed in county jails is the effort to take better care of the insane Some of the older county jails have had padded cells in which the insane were placed During the past year some of the counties have seen fit to remove the padding and make a clean sanitary cell Although the number of insane confined in jails during the past year was less than the one year previous there are still too many of these people confined in the jail over a period of time This is due to the overcrowded conditions at the State Hospital in Milledgeville In the construction of new jails or renovation of old ones it is recommended that a cell be used for insane which has only a wall bunk basin and toilet and heavy screens on the windows with the plumbing on the outside of the cell This type of cell will aid in preventing injury of the person and damaging of property The following are the figures showing the number of insane confined in county jails during the past five years

GROUP HOSPITALIZATION
The 1937 General Assembly provided for the creation of group hospital associations for the purpose of insuring hospitalization for persons of the medium and low income groups The State Department of Public Welfare has been required to approve hospitals contracting with these associations and by June 30 1939 thirty hospitals had been so approved
These group hospital associations must be nonprofit and all income above expenses and claims paid must ultimately return to the members either in reduced membership fees or enlarged services
Since most of these associations were created in 1938 or early 1939 they have had very little time to develop large memberships as yet but their progress thus far has been outstanding Listed below are the names of fifteen associations as of June 30 1940
Community Hospital Service Association Quitman Georgia

LICENSING OF STANDS FOR THE BLIND
Under provisions of 1936 Federal Law providing for stands to be operated by blind persons in federal buildings the State Department of Public Welfare is authorized by the United States Department of Education to license these stands in Georgia So far only one stand has been established at the Atlanta Post Office but we hope that others may be provided as funds for the purpose are secured The blind operator of the Atlanta Stand is now making a comfortable living
ADULT PROBATION AND PAROLE
During the year the Department has cooperated with all Adult Probation Departments over the State Special assistance was given in planning and participating in the Georgia Probation Officers Conference which met at Rome in April
The Department has long seen the need for a Statewide Adult Probation System but as yet funds have not been available for this purpose

Department of Public Welfare
According to a chart recently made it was found that durmg the past ten years the number negro adult prisoners has been only slightly increased while the dumber of white adult prisoners has increased greatly Below are given the county jail commitments for the tenyear period 19301939
Suggested changes needed in greater improvements of jails are
1 A law to enable the Department to condemn jails unfit for confinement o
human beings
2 A law which would enable two or more counties to own and operate a dis
trict jail or work camp
3 A law setting up a salary for sheriffs and authorizing the county to feed and guard the prisoners
It is estimated that there are approximately three hundred and fifty city ij in Georgia Inspection and advisory service to city jails has long been needed b TTe present time there has not been sufficient funds to do the work One inspector for the Division is now inspecting both city and county jails at each ear along with other duties whereas in some states this work requires the
services of three or four inspectors
HOME FOR THE AGED OR ALMSHOUSES
The State Department of Public Welfare is required by law to inspect at least s 11 mintv homes for the aged and private homes for the aged in
GeoiT e Department also is required to collect financial and service reports
The minimum standards drawn meetingof
standardsconform to all types of such institutions in Georgia public and i A mall While there is no present State requirement that would compe
anfhome tel a 0 meet ihese standards we feel assured that those connected with such organizations will constantly strive to meet them as far as finances w

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
To His Excellency Honorable Eugene Talmadge Governor of the State of Georgia Dear Sir
I am submitting herewith the Annual Report of the Georgia Department of Public Welfare covering the fiscal year from July 1 1940 to June 30 1941
I am very pleased to state that in accordance with your suggestions we have carried out many economies in the Department during the last six months of the fiscal year
Public assistance benefits for old age assistance aid to the blind and aid to dependent children from January through June 1941 were 305215900 as against 227655150 during the preceding six months in 1940 or an increase of 77560750 which is a 34 increase the last six months
The average payment per month for the period July 1937 through December
1940 was 32591600 as against average payments per month for the last six months of 50869300 or a percentage increase of 56
While the average payments per month during the last six months in 1941 amounted to 50869300 the payments for the month of June 1941 amounted to 55286850
During the first half of the fiscal year July through December 1940 8595996 was paid for crippled childrens benefits as against 9697227 in the last half in
1941
Administrative expenditures paid during the first half of the fiscal year July through December 1940 amounted to 45331769 as against 41325244 for the last half of the fiscal year January through June 1941
Administrative expenditures covering the public assistance program old age blind and dependent children for the first six months of this fiscal year in 1940 were 34093456 for the last six months ending June 30 1941 31403306
The cost of administering the public assistance program including administrative grants to the county departments was 1192 of benefits paid for the quarter January 1 1941 to March 31 1941 and 885 for the quarter April 1 1941 to June 30 1941 as against 1497 of benefits for the first six months of the fiscal year
The reduction in the administrative cost percentage was effected not only by an increase in benefits paid but also by a reduction in administrative expenditures
The cost of administering the crippled childrens program was 1125869 for the first six months as against 907753 for the last six months of the fiscal year ending June 30 1941
The Social Security Act should be amended
The amount paid by the Federal Government to each of the old age pensioners in the 48 states should be exactly the same whether they live in Georgia California or Massachusetts
The rich states could supplement the amount received from the Federal Government according to their ability to pay
To illustrate suppose the Federal Government paid to each of the old age pensioners 10 per month then the states could add to that 10 according to their ability to pay
Georgia is now receiving from the Federal Government only 410 per month for its old age pensioners against 19 paid to California and 15 paid to Massachusetts
These amounts being matched by the Federal Government means that the old age pensions paid in these three states are as follows
Georgia 820
California 3800
Massachusetts 3000
If California received 10 from the Federal Government she could then supplement that amount by 28 in order to continue the 38 now paid to its old age pensioners likewise Massachusetts could continue to pay 30
Georgia could also supplement its 10 and continue its present appropriation of 3150000 and pay therefrom its old age pensioners now on the pension roll about 15 per month instead of 820 per month without increasing the State appropriation
Georgia now receives less from the Federal Government for its old age pensioners than any state in the Union with only one exception
The change in the Federal Law would put all old age pensioners in every state on the same footing on an equal and uniform basis from Federal funds and would not add one dime to Georgias present appropriation on the other hand would increase its old age pensions to about 15 per month
Of course all states should in consideration of the 10 be required to appropriate a certain minimum say 25 to 50 of the 10 otherwise they might not appropriate anything at all Georgias present appropriation already amounts to about 33 13 of the 1000
Very truly yours

PART I
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE DIVISION Lucile Wilson Chief
The State Welfare Department through its Public Assistance Division has the technical supervision of the 159 County Welfare Departments composed of the County Welfare Board the County Director and staff
Investigation of applications for all types of assistance are made locally by the staff of the County Welfare Department and a summary of approved public assistance cases are submitted by them to the State Welfare Department Applications for the three types of public assistance are approved by the County Welfare Boards on the basis of the findings of their own workers and the approved awards are transmitted to the State Department of Public Welfare where checks are written for the approved applicants The State Department on its own initiative can make no award for payment of any type of public assistance payment being made only after the County Department has approved the award and has sent the proper forms to the State Department
The State Welfare Department through the Public Assistance Division is responsible for the supervision of the certification to the three forms of special public assistance and of the certification to the various Federal Programs operating in the State such as Surplus Commodities Work Projects Administration National Youth Administration Crippled Children and Child Welfare Services In order to discharge its responsibility for supervision the State has been divided into nine public assistance districts with a Public Welfare Field Representative in each district The chief function of these carefully selected especially trained persons is to interpret Federal State and local Public Welfare policies procedures and standards to county staffs and to serve as a liaison person between the State and local departments
The field staff encourages the county departments to maintain high standards of efficiency of personnel and adequacy of certifications As an effective means of supervision and improving standards of service the Field Staff reviews a per cent of all approved and rejected public assistance cases in every county each quarter The Field Staff guides the county departments toward a recognition of their problems and to an awareness of local resources for meeting these problems They attempt to give leadership in sound welfare thinking and to stimulate county staffs and boards to think and act with vision in the development of the Welfare Program
The public assistance division throughout stands ready to assist in the promotion of more comprehensive ideals and sounder public welfare practices and of more efficient administration of County Welfare Departments
During the past fiscal year total public assistance payments to persons in need were approximately 187292600 greater than that of the preceding year although the average grant per case remained about the same The number of needy recipients participating in public assistance grants in June 1941 represent an increase of 24916 persons over those receiving grants in June of last year The total public assistance benefits for the past twelve months amounted to 532871050 399256700 having been spent for old age assistance 116516950 for aid to dependent

The peak month of the past year was June 1941 when 51758 persons received old age assistance awards in the amount of 43136050 1578 persons received 1713400 as aid to the needy blind and 4749 families containing 11818 children received 10437400 as aid to dependent children
There have been no marked changes in policies and procedures of Public Assistance administration during the past year and the efforts of the department have been directed toward the improvement of administrative standards and the maintenance of higher standards of service A change in the State Welfare law reducing the countys proportion of the awards and the administrative costs from 10 to 5 has made it possible for many counties to allow a larger sum for the administration of other phases of the welfare program or for the increase of the sum available for local relief
Any person whose application for public assistance has been denied and who is dissatisfied with the decision of the County Welfare Board has by Federal and State laws the right to appeal from their decision to the State Department A fair hearing presided over by a representative from the State Department is held for each appellant and on the basis of the evidence submitted the State Welfare Board renders a decision which is binding upon the applicant and the County Welfare Department One hundred and sixteen appeals were filed during the past fiscal year
In accordance with Federal and State laws a public assistance recipient enjoys the right of transfer of grant from one county to another within the State Upon a determination of the fact that it is socially desirable for the recipient to reside in the county to which he has moved the transfer of the grant is effected according to the procedure outlined in the Public Assistance Manual One thousand two hundred and fortytwo transfers were approved during the past year
The Federal agencies for which the State Welfare Department has assumed responsibility for supervision of certifications and which bring the largest financial returns to the counties are WPA Surplus Commodities and CCC Although the State supervises the county departments in the exercise of the certification process the actual certifications are made by the county departments and the total administrative costs are borne by the county State participation is given indirectly however through advisory or consultive service on particular problems and by the interpretation given by the Field Staff to County Welfare Boards county officials and others as to the value of the various Federal certifications to the county In almost every instance the counties have evidenced a spirit of splendid cooperation in making these services available to their citizens even when it involved a sacrifice as it no doubt has in the case of less prosperous counties
The type of Federal certifications which is most extensive in the majority of counties is a certification of needy unemployed employable persons to the WPA and the financial returns from these certifications are probably larger than from any other Federal agency Under a cooperative agreement between the State Department of Public Welfare and the WPA the Department of Public Welfare assumes responsibility for the certification of all persons to the WPA the WPA during the past fiscal year having returned to the Department of Public Welfare the obligation for recertification of persons who had previously worked on WPA Last year in
10
Department of Public Welfare
the peak month 63584 needy unemployed but employable persons certified by the County Welfare Departments worked on WPA and 1973005080 was received by the counties of the State as WPA benefits for the year
An interesting and far reaching development in cooperative Department of Public WelfareWPA activities has been their joining with FSA in the promulgation of the three agency agreement for the more constructive assistance of needy farm families Instead of assistance from independent agencies it was felt that there existed a large number of families who would receive sounder and more permanent help from the combined efforts of the three agencies In Georgia as a part of a national movement there has been a selection of three counties typical of general farming conditions in the three sections of the State in which the plan will be developed on a demonstration basis In these counties families who could become selfsupporting with a small cash income in addition to their farm produce will be selected and approved by the three agencies given long term farm plans and permitted to work on WPA during periods of inactivity in farm operations in accordance with their budgeted needs
Another function of the Division of Public Assistance is certification of eligibility for receipt of Surplus Commodities This function has grown increasingly important with the development of the school lunch program which through the cooperation of the Surplus Commodity Division and the WPA furnishes hot lunches to undernourished and underprivileged children Four thousand seven hundred and forty lunch rooms were certified by the County Welfare Departments to receive commodities during the last fiscal year and 454787 children were served an increase of 2025 lunch rooms and 174528 children over the preceding year The value of this service has been demonstrated by increased school attendance and improved calibre of work over the entire State particularly in rural areas In addition to the certifications for lunch rooms during the past fiscal year 78959 families received surplus commodities in the peak month upon their certification by the County Welfare Departments The value of the surplus commodities distributed in the State last year was 565884311 of which 424486308 was the value of the food and 141398000 the clothing
The duty of the CCC Division is to see that as many Georgia boys as possible take advantage of the advantages offered by the CCC This division coordinates the activities of the one hundred fiftynine county directors in the State office All Quotas for enrollees are apportioned among the counties by the State office Enrollment dates general instructions and records of all of Georgias eight thousand one hundred fifty CCC boys are kept and handled by the State office All problems that arise in the various counties pertaining to CCC matters are forwarded to this division which acts as a liaison agency between the enrollees and the CCC
The county directors approve all selections for CCC enrollment They determine such mattersi as eligibility of the boys to whom their allotment is to be sent recommendations as to discharges changes of allotments employment and a host of other questions that arise in such a vast program Each enrollee receives 3000 per month plus all food clothing barracks laundry and schooling free of charge It can be said that the real wages including the above are at least 70 per month Of the 3000 cash 1500 is sent to his dependents 700 deposited to his credit and 800 given him as spending money

The American people have always realized that the CCC has performed a wonderful service to the nation in the rehabilitation of two million six hundred thousand young men and the conservation of millions of acres of eroding lands Thousands of unemployed untrained and disillusioned boys have been taught to be selfreliant useful citizens where otherwise they might today be charges upon society Untold millions of acres and millions of trees have been saved from utter destruction by checking erosion that was continually devouring Americas natural resources
It was not until September 1940 that America fully realized the role CCC would play in the defense and protection of this democracy Belgium Holland and France had fallen to the mighty war machine before this nation realized that it must prepare for its defense and prepare fast
The lightning speed of the panzer division in World War number two had convinced us that our army must move on wheels not on feet The question arose where would the government find the truck tractor and tank drivers needed to pilot the machines of war Where could the trained carpenters draftsmen electric welders butchers and bakers for the army be found
America called upon its almost forgotten army of CCC graduates Former CCC enrollees by the thousands stepped in and filled the gap The army found that CCC trained boys made excellent truck tractor and tank drivers and mechanics Their vocational training in the CCC had prepared them for this momentous task Today of the 300000 now in camp 44000 are registered for the draft 12000 have volunteered 16000 are now in the Marine Service and 35000 are enrolled in defense study courses Thus America is being repaid with compound interest for every dollar invested in CCC boys
Georgia has now 8150 men in the CCC bringing an income to the State in money wages alone of 2934000 annually Thirtyfour camps in the State work on national defense soil conservation forest service and other projects Millions of trees have been planted many State parks improved and thousands of acres of eroded land saved
Other Federal programs to which the county departments certify eligible persons are NYA Crippled Children and Child Welfare Services In addition to Federal certifications the county departments certify persons to public institutions of the State and by arrangement with the State Board of Health county departments establish the economic eligibility of applicants for aid under the State Cancer Control Program In rural counties the county departments cooperate with the Georgia State Employment Service in the registration of clients to that agency
A new opportunity for service and a new duty which has devolved upon the Public Assistance Division and the County Welfare Departments during the past year has developed in connection with the national defense program
In the fall of 1940 the State Selective Service Board requested that information given by the Welfare Department to their local draft boards which would assist them in their determination of the degree of dependency among selectees Cognizant of the tremendous pressure of work in County Welfare Departments the State Department suggested that the service be confined to the supplying of pertinent information already on file in the county offices
It was the opinion of the State Selective Service Agency that the Welfare Depart
12
Department of Public Welfare
ments were best equipped to furnish pertinent factual information on dependency as their staffs had proved their competency in securing and analyzing basic data The information given by the county departments has been of such value to the draft boards however that in certain counties the county commissioners have allowed additional administrative expenditures in order that special investigations may be made for the draft boards in exceptional cases From time to time the county departments have given this service to out of state agencies upon request To further expedite this service the State Department of Public Welfare and State Selective Service Board collaborated on the preparation of a referral form which could be submitted to the county departments and completed by them with a minimum of time and effort
The Case Referral Section in the State office handles correspondence from all over Georgia and many out of State inquiries in addition This department alone receives and answers approximately sixteen hundred letters each month All letters are read and answered carefully with the purpose of giving a satisfactory reply to the actual inquiry of the individual A total of nineteen thousand one hundred and thirteen letters were handled by this department during the past year Rooms are maintained in the State Building in order that clients who visit the State office may be interviewed privately The requests of the clients are referred promptly to the County Welfare Departments for their attention Five thousand six hundred and six interviews were held last year
The financial responsibility for general relief in Georgia belongs to the local governmental units neither the State nor the Federal Government making any contribution to the cost of administration or benefits The amount of general relief granted and the amount of individual grants vary from county to county as the entire fund for this purpose depends upon appropriations by county commissioners or city authorities The history of general relief in the State prior to the inauguration of a welfare program shows its operation in the hands of the county commissioners largely and this is still true to a certain extent With the establishment of County Welfare Departments however and with a recognition of the sound quality of their administration there has been a marked tendency on the part of county officials to utilize the services of the County Welfare Departments in making general relief available to those needy persons who do not come within the other categories of assistance The growth of this trend is apparent from year to year and a recent survey disclosed that County Welfare Departments are permitted to handle general relief in more than a third of the counties of the State In nearly onehalf of the remaining counties the County Welfare Departments are asked to participate in the granting of general relief in their counties either by special or regular investigations and reports to the county commissioners or by furnishing information already in the department files It is an interesting fact that the number of counties not making use of the services of the Welfare Department in some way in the granting of general relief is comparatively small and that the number has grown smaller during the past fiscal year The extent of general relief is almost State wide as not more than 10 report no general relief available The number of general relief cases in the State for the past year as reported by the County Welfare Departments was 76997 and the amount of money they received was 49867524

REPORT OF THE OPERATION OF THE DIVISION OF RESEARCH AND STATISTICS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30 1941 By Chas Mullis Chief
The Division of Research and Statistics has the responsibility for the preparation and interpretation of statistical reports within the fields of Old Age Assistance Aid to the Blind Aid to Dependent Children General Relief Child Welfare and Crippled Children Reports for public distribution are also prepared by this Division from information furnished by the Surplus Commodity Division and the Civilian Conservation Corps Division
Reports on applications received and disposed of persons paid and obligations incurred for Old Age Assistance Aid to the Blind Aid to Dependent Children and General Relief are made monthly to the Social Security Board The same reports supplemented by reports on the other programs mentioned above are used in preparing the quarterly bulletin Public Welfare Statistics
An annual report on the social characteristics of recipients of Old Age Assistance Aid to the Blind and Aid to Dependent Children is made to the Social Security Board in Washington Information for this report is obtained from social data cards submitted by the County Directors on each individual approved for assistance This report was used as a basis for many of the tables contained in the following pages The data requested by the Social Security Board was of course modified as much of the information requested was of little or no significance for the State of Georgia
These tables constitute a detailed study of the social characteristics of the 26134 individuals approved for Old Age Assistance the 537 individuals approved for Aid to the Blind and the 1512 families approved for Aid to Dependent Children during the fiscal year ending June 30 1941 The tables on closed cases cover all cases closed during the fiscal year These cases were approved during the years 19371938 19381939 19391940 and 19401941 The cases for Old Age Assistance which were closed numbered 5240 for Aid to the Blind 98 and for Aid to Dependent Children 596
During the fiscal year from July 1 1940 to June 30 1941 applications for Old Age Assistance were received numbering 29923 for Aid to the Blind 805 and
Aid to Dependent Children 5672 The total of applications on hand during the fiscal year numbered for Old Age Assistance 77749 for Aid to the Blind 2018 and for Aid to Dependent Children 15663 making all special Assistance applications reach a total of 95430 Operations disclosed that 56 of Special Assistance applications on hand were investigated and disposed of during the year A breakdown of the applications investigated and disposed of reveals that 56 were approved 18 were denied as ineligible and 26 were disposed of because of death voluntary withdrawal etc However of considerable interest is the fact that the pending applications as of 63041 is 26 lower than the number pending at the close of previous fiscal year
This work was performed by a staff of ten persons consisting of seven persons in the State Office and three in the field Each of the Field Statisticians is responsible for statistical supervision of 53 counties They interpret instructions issued by the State Office to the County Directors and are responsible for the correct maintenance of statistical reports Public Assistance forms filing procedures and reporting procedures in the county offices The data submitted by the County Directors is consolidated and coordinated by the State Office staff and policies and procedures to be followed by the County Directors are determined and inaugurated

SURPLUS COMMODITY DISTRIBUTION DIVISION W L Denton Chief
The Director of the commodity division is designated as agent for the State of Georgia to receive and distribute in accordance with regulations surplus commodities donated to the State by the Surplus Marketing Administration
The SMA is under the general direction of the United States Department of Agriculture Its two main purposes are 1 to assist farmers and producers in moving surplus agricultural commodities outside the normal channels of trade and commerce and encouraging domestic consumption of these commodities 2 allocating these surplus commodities to State Welfare Agencies for distribution to eligible recipients Surplus Commodities are purchased at the direction of the United States Secretary of Agriculture following a determination that a surplus problem exists and that a surplus removable program would help correct this condition
The Commodity Division has divided its operation into five districts with principal warehouses at Atlanta Gainesville Macon Savannah and Albany Each county in the State furnishes a local warehouse for handling surplus commodities distributed within the county The State has supplied the division with thirtyseven trucks purchasing fifteen of these in May 1941 which are used to move surplus commodities from carlot receiving points to the local warehouses Except for personnel the State with the cooperation of the Counties pays all operating expense of the division All Supervisory personnel in the State Office is paid for by the State Through assistance of the Works Projects Administration all county and district warehouse personnel of over 700 employees receive their salaries from the WPA The annual payroll of this division including State and WPA funds amounts to more than 50000000
The Surplus Marketing Administration operates three main programs in the State namely 1 Direct District Distribution to needy families 2 The School Lunch Program and 3 The Food Stamp Plan Each family or individual who receives surplus commodities is investigated and certified to the commodity division as an eligible recipient by the County Departments of Public Welfare The County Departments of Public Welfare also receive and investigate applications for School Lunch Programs before certifying them to receive surplus commodities The Food Stamp Plan operating in Atlanta Macon Savannah Augusta Columbus and Griffin is instrumental in removing surplus commodities through the normal channels of trade The Stamp Plan Offices issued blue stamp semimonthly to 79484 families with an estimated purchasing value of 137781250
A large portion of surplus commodities received in the state during the year was distributed to the School Lunch Programs which had an enormous expansion The School Lunch Programs2488 Schools with 257873 childrenwas increased to 4994 schools with 473589 children before the end of the school year The sponsoring agencies and school officials cooperated splendidly in operating the school lunch programs during the year just ending and an additional increase in the school lunch program is expected for the coming year

admissions Four hundred and sixtyone patients died during the year Dementia paralytica was the leading cause of death during the year with seventyfour Bronchopneumonia ranked second with fiftyfive cerebral hemorrhage third with fortyfive and pulmonary tuberculosis was fourth with fortyfour The death rate for the year was 503 of all patients treated
Of all the admissions for the year manic depressive psychosis and dementia praecox composed 52 of them This information indicates the importance of these two major psychoses and the mental disease problem Dementia paralytica and psychosis with cerebral arteriosclerosis form the next two largest groupings
BUILDINGS
On August 1 1940 the occupancy of the five new buildings which were built by he Government with PWA funds in conjunction with funds borrowed from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation was begun The buildings are all occupied now and have added much to the comfort welfare and convenience of the patients which occupy them as well as being a marked aid in the different kinds of therapy that are in use The annex to the Jones Building is also occupied The Jones Building Annex was built by PWA and money received from the Chain Store Tax The Male Convalescent Building which was recently occupied was built by WPA and funds hypothecated from rentals of Western Atlantic Railroad This building was redesigned enlarged and equipped with modern toilet facilities kitchens dining rooms cafeteria hydrotherapy equipment etc This building is now used as a reception ward for white males and is well suited for this purpose In occupying these new buildings the Green Building the two wings of the Powell Building the West Detach Building and several frame structures were vacated
The building program has given ample room in the White Department but the Colored Department is still overcrowded as there has been nothing done to relieve this condition in some years except in the instance of providing for the colored tubercular cases in the Colored Unit of Building E which is one of the five new buildings To relieve this overcrowded condition recommendation is made that a nearby building West Detach which was vacated by white patients when they were transferred to the new buildings be renovated and used for colored female patients This building is of brick construction and in the main is in good state of preservation but needs heating bath and toilet facilities and minor repairs which would cost comparatively little This is a comparatively small building but would accommodate 130 patients Efforts at colonizing some of the colored male patients at the State Prison Farm will also in a small way relieve the congestion in the Colored Male Department The old female quarters at the State Prison Farm are being reconditioned for the purpose of housing colored male patients on this property in order that they may help with the dairy which has been established there and also solve the labor problem incident to farm operations connected with the dairy
DAIRY
The dairy at the Institution comprises three units one located at the Hospital proper a second located at the Colony Farm and the third located on the old State Prison Farm property All milking barns are being equipped with DeLaval or International milking units complete with cooling tanks Brine tanks etc The

MEDICAL SERVICE Edw W Schwall MD Clinical Director
During the year seventeen hundred and fourteen 1714 patients were received Of these twelve hundred and eightynine 1289 were first admissions to this hospital and four hundred and twentyfive 425 were radmissions to this hospital or from some other mental hospital Of the patients admitted sixteen hundred and fortythree 1643 were examined both mentally and physically and presented to the staff for diagnostic consideration Fortysix 46 died and twentyfive 25 were furloughed before presentation
Nine thousand one hundred and sixtyfive 9165 patients were treated during the year These figures were arrived at by taking the resident population July 1 1940 adding to this the total number of admissions during the year and the number of patients returned from furlough who were furloughed the previous year
No serious epidemics occurred among the patient population during the fiscal year A number of cases of mild influenza developed during the winter months and in the early spring a smaller number of cases of German measles and chicken pox
The opening of the new tubercular hospital in the fall provided ample facilities for the more thorough segregation of the tubercular cases All acute chronic and arrested cases of tuberculosis are now in this building and as soon as new cases are detected they are immediately transferred to this hospital In order to properly segregate the arrested from the acute cases a systematic Xray examination of all tubercular patients is being undertaken
All syphilitic cases are intensely treated with neoarsphenamine bismuth mapharsen and mercury The cases of dementia paralytica received as a rule malarial inoculation and tryparsamide One hundred and eightysix 186 cases of dementia paralytica were inoculated with malaria during the year Two 2 cases were restored seventyeight 78 were improved one hundred and five 105 were unimproved and one death occurred Tertian and quartan strains were used on the white patients and quartan alone on the colored cases
Metrazol treatments were given three hundred and sixtynine 369 selected patients Sixteen 16 patients were restored one hundred and ninetynine 199 improved and one hundred and fiftyfour154 were unimproved Encouraging results were obtained by the use of metrazol in certain cases of manic depressive insanity and in psychoneurosis
Insulin therapy was carried out in twentynine 29 cases One case in this series was restored twentythree 23 were improved and five 5 were unimproved
With the opening of the White Male Receiving Ward in June all the new buildings have been occupied All of the frame structures housing white patients have been emptied and many of the unsafe buildings abandoned until they can be renovated Congestion has been relieved among the white population however the
State of Georgia
63
colored male and female wards are still extremely crowded It is hoped that funds can be provided for the renovation of some of the abandoned buildings so that this congestion can be relieved
The medical staff has been seriously handicapped by the resignation of eight 8 physicians Replacements to fill these vacancies have not been found so far This leaves each physician with a service of from six hundred 600 to nine hundred 900 patients excepting the physicians with receiving wards who have little time for anything other than the examination of new cases Due to the number of physicians required by the army and the increased demand in private practice it is doubtful that many new staff members can be acquired in the near future Routine laboratory examinations were carried out on blood feces and urine on all new cases When indicated other tests were made as follows complete spinal fluid examinations sputum examination qualitative and quantitative tests on blood for bromides or other chemicals quantitative estimates on NP nitrogen blood sugar etc
Classes from the University of Georgia Emory University Medical Department of the University of Georgia Georgia State College for Women and a number of nurses from various hospitals visited the institution for special lectures by the staff

CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIRS
During this time the portion of the Cabsniss Building that was damaged by fire about fifteen months ago has been restored to a much better condition than it was before being burned
Two new cottages for officers have been built and the residences occupied by Dr Bradford Mrs Humphrey Dr Schwall Mr Steve Wright Dr Clodfelter and Mr Little as well as the one vacated by Dr Toole have been completely renovated Four apartments in the Female Convalescent Building have been completely renovated during this period
Hospitals 3 and 6 have been given three coats of interior paint the laundry building room has been painted and the roofs of the Female Convalescent Center Old Colored and New Colored Buildings have been painted
New wood floors have been put in the dining rooms of the Female Convalescent Building Nurses Home Dining Room O Ward of the Cabaniss Building and three wards in the Negro Buildings also a concrete floor has been put in the dormitory and dining room of the Negro Building The amusement hall has been reworked and two of the tubercular pavilions overhauled also the 7th Colored Male has been overhauled
At the Steam Plant a retaining wall 100 x 8 has been built also a storage room 20 x 12 and bathrooms and toilets for negro patients working around the steam plants have been installed
A brick wall 30x 9 was built at the Cabaniss Building back yard A Planer Shop 20x60 was built near the Wood Shop two dry kilns have been rebuilt dressing room built at the bakery also a brick and concrete ice box for the bakery The East Center Building Kitchen was partially renovated the West Center Building Kitchen replastered the Dutch Oven at the Green Building was repaired and ovens were rebuilt at the Twin Buildings and Center Building Kitchens Three concrete stair wells have been built in the Old Negro Buildings
Concrete walks and steps have been built at nine cottages ten double garages have been built and floors concreted Basements have been built in Dr Wileys house and in three of the new cottages Several garages have been repainted and covered and the old garage back of the Male Receiving Building has been renovated
Twentyone new bath and toilet rooms have been built in the Female Convalescent Building and new plumbing fixtures have been built and new fixtures installed in the Center Building Twelve new bath and toilet rooms have been built and new plumbing fixtures installed in O S and W Wards In all the cottages above mentioned as being renovated the plumbing and fixtures were renewed

Department of Public Welfare
Bath and toilet rooms have been built and plumbing and steam heat installed in the Pump House
Plumbing and heating systems were removed in the old buildings that were abandoned
SHOPS
All of the lumber used here with the exception of a few thousand feet of ceiling interior trim etc has been sawed dried and dressed by institution personnel A large quantity of screen work has been done Many of the new buildings inadequately equipped with shelving are now amply supplied with shelf spacemany new cabinets ice boxes handles mops etc have been made in the wood shop
The Blacksmith Shop has looked after the farm horse shoeing and much of the plow sharpening and repairs
While the Machine Shop has but little equipment most of our machinery breakdowns have been handled without sending the work to other shops
The Broom Factory has kept the Institution fairly well supplied with brooms
GRADING
The grounds of ten cottages have been graded and landscaped during the past year Hospital roads and drives have been kept as well as could be without machinery however the institution is indebted to the State Highway Department for most of the worthwhile work done on them
At the close of the fiscal year the Department was busily engaged in renovating the old dairy barn and the Female Buildings on the old Prison Farm for dairy purposes Salvaged materials from the old buildings are being used in this work as far as possible at a great saving to the State
TECHNICAL
An exhaustive study has been made of our electrical system with a view to effecting every possible economy During the course of this investigation it developed that the institution has been overcharged some 500000 during the past five years An effort is being made to recover this and to secure a cheaper electric energy rate
Considerable study has been devoted to the economic operation of our Steam Plants In addition to increasing operating efficiency it seems to indicate that it would pay to generate most if not all of electric energy needed by the institution
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND DIVERSIONS
During the year Mrs Mary C Parker has continued to direct the Occupational Therapy Department There are in operation seven shops besides the various entertainment and study features including music and dramatics Bible class dances etc One thousand and thirtyeight patients have attended the shops or entertainment features of same The management feels that much benefit has resulted from this source Patients are selected for this service and are encouraged to do the type of
State of Georgia
71
employment that they seem best adapted for The operation of this department requires a considerable outlay of materials and supplies and is not selfsustaining yet much is realized from the sale of products of this department The Builder a weekly newspaper edited typed and mimeographed by a staff of patients has steadily increased its circulation from a small number to 700 since its first publication October 20 1934 and is read by many interested readers here and elsewhere Cheerio a monthly magazine is edited typed and mimeographed by a staff of patients This magazine has a circulation of 500 copies per month with 26 pages and cover first publication September 1940
Four beauty parlors are conveniently located throughout the White Female Department and are well patronized by patients This art has been found an efficient means of stimulating interest in patients who have become untidy and shown a general lack of interest in things generally In many instances this method of arousing interest seems successful where others fail
The Department provided useful occupation diversion and amusement throughout the year Four hundred and sixtyone 461 new cases were admitted to this department during the year for this type of therapy
Chapel services and Sunday School classes were held weekly Dances baseball games etc were provided for patients able to attend and desiring to do so The services of a voice teacher have been continued and many patients have availed themselves of this excellent opportunity to receive special training along this line
The three commissaries showed a profit for the year and this will be used to provide entertainment supplies for the occupational therapy projects and Christmas gifts for patients not receiving anything from home
MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
The cost of materials and supplies is increasing all the time With these facts before us it would seem urgent that the budget for maintenance be increased The rentals on new buildings are quite a large sum and it would seem well that a separate appropriation for this item might be in order

EQUIPMENT
The remodeling of various units and the many repairs and renovations recently made at the Academy for the Blind very materially improved the appearance of the property and added greatly to the comfort and convenience of the pupils as well as to the successful operation of the School for the year which closed on June 30 1941
PERSONNEL
Serving with the Superintendent for the year 19401941 were the following in the White School 12 fulltime Teachers 1 onethirdtime Chorus Director 1 Secretary 1 Dietitian 1 Trained Nurse 2 Supervisors and 1 Nightwatchman The faculty members have college degrees with one exception They range in experience in teaching the blind as high as over twenty years some in this same institution The Dietitian and Supervisors are collegetrained In the Colored School we have 1 Principal 4 Teachers 1 Matron and 1 Housekeeper
ENROLLMENT
The enrollment included White School males 48 females 35 total 83 Colored School males 23 females 22 total 45 grand total 128
PERIOD TAUGHT
The Colored School opened on September 15 1940 and closed on June 6 1941 But on account of a PWA project to renovate the main building the White School did not begin until November 15 1940 and closed on June 18 1941 While only seven calendar months were taught yet by teaching on Saturdays and legal holidays nine school moths were made both in the elementary grades and in the high school In fact all students finished the years work who made satisfactory grades This means also that the white teachers although they completed the work of the full school year have been paid for only about seven and onehalf months
LITERARY
Aiming at being accepted as a fully accredited high school our faculty taught the regular course of study required for admission to the college Freshman class Because of our small enrollment and some possible technicalities a special ruling will have to be made to grant us the desired recognition We shall work toward this
Because of the comparative isolation of the students they are more fully under the influence of the school ideals than public school children Pleasing comradeships unity of purpose and gratifying cultural tone result
State of Georgia
73
Modern equipment and methods used by a vitally interested faculty in roomy comfortable classrooms bring a response that in turn stimulates us to better effort Our students recognize their handicaps but proceed with poise and determination to make the most of their assets
MUSIC
The school is equipped with a pipe organ plenty of pianos for practice and tuning several victrolas and five large radios besides those personally owned by students and faculty Our efficient music director is assisted by a fulltime music teacher and a parttime chorusdirector
Students learn the best hymns in chapel service and get a wide range of other cultural music in the general program Three of our students this year were able to furnish pipe organ music for public occasions in the city one girl won a scholarship to Wesleyan Conservatory in a music audition and others show promise of doing equally well Every student attends chorus training twice a week and eventually those who profess to have no talent find themselves singing A high per cent are interested in learning to play the piano and organ and are encouraged with opportunities as far as they will avail themselves of them
We are glad to report the reconditioning of our excellent organ constant care of all pianos and the recent purchase of two spinet type pianos for training in tuning
TYPEWRITING
This necessary form of communication with those who see is begun in the fourth grade The school owns twenty typewriters which are kept up to form and a large amount of daily written work is handed in typed We also own three Braille typewriters
MANUAL TRAINING
This work was directed by a capable blind teacher each for the boys and girls Spacious wellequipped rooms are provided for this very important branch of our teaching The skill with which electricallydriven machinery is used in the boys department as well as the beautiful and practical products turned out by the girls are a constant source of wonder and pride
HOME ECONOMICS
Equipment for teaching home economics was purchased and steps taken to initiate this work early in the school year General helpful knowledge of home making is taught and the equipment has been and will be put to further practical use in the institution
LIBRARY
Our library consists of over seven thousand volumes in Braille and over one thousand inkprint volumes In addition we recently received an allotment of about 250000 worth of new Braille books A high school teacher has the added position as librarian She has taught English and other subjects here for more than twenty

years and really knows the children and the books in their relationship one to the other Books for constant use by teachers have been put in convenient locations Improvements in shelving and a recent change in location have put our library in excellent condition It is large enough to accommodate forty students in study hall hours One other study hall has been arranged thus reducing the number of teachers required at this night duty to two per night By alternating they will have more hours a week of their time of service to devote to actual teaching
HEALTH
General health this year has been good There has been no fatal illness The ordinary contagions were successfully handled including the tobeexpected flu Need of an appendectomy in one case was detected early enough for safety The fact that our students mingle very little with outsiders is in itself a protection A room each for boys and girls is provided in the dormitories for temporary illness and our hospital building is available for isolation The latter is being improved The service of our trained nurse and general cooperation have held medical bills comparatively low A new dental office was equipped this spring and requests that parents have children secure the usual inoculations were mailed out this summer and the response has been fair Various tests are made from time to time for the general protection
COMMENCEMENT
Outweighing in value we believe any of the tangible things reported we would mention what we hope has been done both consciously and unconsciously to develop further a wholesome atmosphere within our student body and to build friendly cooperative relationships with the outside Visitors have been cordially received individually on informal calls and the public has been welcomed to our programs Groups have joined with the local Junior Red Cross and Sunday School units in various activities and church attendance has been encouraged The students have gladly furnished music and other cultural entertainment for groups of visitors A fitting climax of the years work came in our commencement in which students had the same opportunities for expression and inspiration that any high school graduation affords Five young ladies received diplomas The present trend should it proceed unmolested will result both particularly and generally in a most happy outcome for the education of the blind in Georgia
COLORED SCHOOL
The condition of the building at the colored school was greatly improved by the work of a PWA project We are gradually supplying the building with needed furniture and furnishings It will be in excellent condition by the time the next term of school begins There is a faculty of five teachers headed by a principal who has served faithfully and well for many years The members of the faculty are doing excellent work in both crafts and literary departments

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF CAVE SPRING GEORGIA C H Hollingsworth Superintendent
The Georgia School for the Deaf had a very profitable year as measured by uniform school progress For the first time in the last several years the school continued in session for a full uninterrupted nine months term This factor of itself was of inestimable value in setting a new precedent for uniform progress and the further stabilizing of the entire program since the Advanced Department was established some years ago
ENROLLMENT
There were 220 white and 55 colored children enrolled the past year from 90 counties in Georgia See chart
Two hundred and sixtyfive of the 275 pupils enrolled last year are eligible for readmission and will return this fall together with 53 new applicants making a prospective total enrollment this next year of 318 This constitutes approximately 10 increase and will be by far the largest enrollment the school has ever had It can be rather accurately estimated that there are an additional 75 deaf boys and girls of school age unaccounted for This grand total eventually enrolled would create about the proper ratio between deaf pupils and the general population as has been established in other states where there is compulsory or for other reasons more uniform attendance The school is rapidly getting in shape physically and in the courses of study offered to accommodate all of the States deaf children entitled to enrollment
CURRICULUM SCHOLARSHIPS LIBRARY
The Georgia School for the Deafs Advanced Department graduated its second class of recent years at the close of the past school term One of this group of prospective college students has been awarded a Federal scholarship and will enter Gallaudet College in the fall This award was won in competitive examination with approximately 200 other graduates of schools for the deaf in the various states Thirtyfive of these scholarships were available
Along with the beneficial element of a nine months school term an added supply of new textbooks and parallel reading books given us during the year were very helpful Also 1500 new books were added to the library These new books purchased for the school plus 600 gift volumes gives the school a total of 2100 volumes now in our students library all of which greatly enhances general school progress
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
With the exception of the discontinuance of vocational agriculture as a result of the resignation of the teacher in this department in December the year shows splendid progress in the development of the vocational and trades and industrial side of the school program We feel that this particular emphasis is eminently correct
76
Department of Public Welfare
While we know it is well to furnish many of the students a foundation for an arts college education it is also known that a majority of the students will not attend college Consequently they should receive definite preparation for independent living as they assume their places in society In addition to the six trades taught last year namely agriculture homemaking printing shoe repairing industrial sewing and arts and crafts three additional courses will be offered this next year namely beauty culture barbering and automobile appearance conditioning As an accommodation for each of these new trades present housing facilities and mechanical equipment is all that could be required The Automobile Appearance Conditioning courses are being sponsored and directed throughout by officials of the southeastern area Ford organization In this latter trade body work painting and upholstering will be the three courses taught
HEALTH
The school year was remarkable in that there was a dirth of sickness among the children The weight charts kept by the school nurse disclose unusually uniform weight increases This can partly be attributed to the fact that there were no serious epidemics at any time during the year together with the wellorganized and efficient service of the school health department Complete dental equipment has been purchased and installed in the school infirmary This adds greatly to our facilities for protecting the health of the children
PHYSICAL EQUIPMENT
All new buildings and all repaired buildings are ready for occupancy this fall In addition to the completion of the general new building and repair program six tenant houses on the school farm have been reroofed repainted and otherwise put in good condition
FARM
The farm despite heavy outlay expenses necessary for general repairing will show some operating profit for the year The greatest source of revenue is the production of milk for school consumption For the first time the dairy produced sufficient whole milk to abolish the need for additional purchases of this commodity throughout the year
PERSONNEL
The end of the year finds the Georgia School for the Deaf facing an ageold dilemma towit a shortage of teachers trained and otherwise qualified to teach the deaf
The solution of this difficulty would appear to be for the school to train its own teachers The young men and the young women in the school are as good potential teachers of the deaf as can be found anywhere To train these young peopleto be fair to such traineesto the Stateand to the schoolit is necessary that they qualify for certification by the standards set up by the Conference of Executives of American Schools for the Deafthis being the source of certification now accepted by every state school for the deaf in the United States The two
State of Georgia
77
steps necessary for the proper recognition of the School and Training Department is an enlarged quota of Grade A certified teachers and the acquisition of a gymnasium and assembly auditorium
GYMNASIUM AND ASSEMBLY HALL
The erection of a combination gymnasiumauditorium on the school campus cannot be too strongly recommended A combination building of this type is the most economical approach to filling the two needsan auditorium for general assembly and for programs providing seating capacity for the entire student body and for visitors and to be used as a school gymnasium a gymnasium now being recognized as a requisite for any wellrounded school program This type of building is important in any public school setup and is of inestimably greater value to a school for the deaf where the children large and small fair weather and foul remain on the school property twentyfour hours each day nine months of the year
RECREATION
The erection of a combination auditoriumgymnasium on the campus cannot be too strongly recommended and a school gymnasium now recognized as a requisite of any wellrounded school program

ANNUAL REPORT OF GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BOYS By W E Ireland Superintendent
It is with a sense of deep satisfaction that the management is able to report that at last constructive progress is being made at the school in the direction of a wellrounded program looking toward the training of its pupils in the social health spiritual and economic aspects of good citizenship Occupancy of the larger part of the new physical plant has steadily progressed during the calendar year of 1941 much to the delight of the boys the staff and the public alike The population of the school has continued to grow during the period of this report having increased approximately 52 during the fiscal year ending June 30 1941 The staff has also been expanded and improved appreciably during the last half of the year The school is now operating at about 80 capacity with an active potential demand from the various counties of the State for increased admissions as rapidly as personnel and the employment of physical facilities will warrant It is therefore expected that the population will gradually increase to capacity during the calendar year
TRAINING AND SUPERVISION
Training of the pupils in understanding of the social phases of their responsibility to themselves and to society has been greatly enhanced by placing under the supervision of capable couples in cottage type dormitory units smaller groups of boys than has heretofore been possible This method of supervision affords the pupils closer and muchneeded contact with their teachers and supervisors It enables the school staff to gain a much better understanding of the boys both as a group and as individuals and to render them more effective guidance in trying to work out their personal problems and in preparing them to become productive units of society Varied group educational activity and planned supervised recreation are also contributing to the improved conception of the pupils as to their obligations as potential future citizens
DENTAL AND MEDICAL SERVICE
The addition of nursing and dental services in recent months has broadened the appreciation of the boys with respect to matters of health and personal hygiene It has also been possible during this period to make many routine tests and to give treatment for many ailments common to children which could not heretofore be given the proper attention In addition to these health services pictures have been shown and lectures given to instruct in and encourage healthful living
RELIGIOUS TRAINING
Broader and more effective religious training has resulted from the direction of planned religious educational activity Testaments and good religious literature are made available to all pupils Sabbath School services are conducted by interested citizens of Milledgeville Chapel services are regularly held in the school auditorium where staff members and pupils alike take part in wellplanned programs Pupils are also encouraged to have short scripture readings and say their
80
Department of Public Welfare
prayers in their dormitories before going to bed at night A large percent of them participate in these intimate services and enthusiastically ask their cottage masters and cottage mothers to take part
ACADEMIC AND VOCATIONAL DEPARTMENTS
Revision expansion and much improvement of the instructional program in the academic and vocational departments are developing progressively Both these departments are splendidly equipped and the program now taking shape contemplates the provision for instruction in recognition of and in an effort to meet the divergent needs of the individual pupils
IN GENERAL
All in all it can be said without question that the improvement thus far achieved in the school s program during recent months has shown marked results upon the morale of the pupils and that it has resulted in manifestations on their part of brighter hopes for the future It should be borne in mind however that the effectiveness of the schools program in years to come will be dependent upon the value of the skills which will be brought into the training program of the boys It is therefore clear that while the housing and equipment facilities which now exist at the institution are basic requirements in undertaking a balanced and wellrounded program they are not the only essentials The final value of the schools work to the state and to the individuals dealt with rests equally upon adequate physical means and the allimportant element of sufficiently and properly trained personnel commensurate with the potentialities of the physical plant and equipment

ANNUAL REPORT GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS Mrs Joe Pruitt Superintendent
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The Georgia Training School for Girls was established in 1913 ar a correctional institution maintained by the State for delinquent girls under eighteen years of age Girls are committed by Juvenile City and Superior Courts They are under the jurisdiction of the school until they reach the age of twentyone years but are paroled as soon as their progress at the school justifies it and suitable arrangements can be made for their care and protection A minimum stay of fifteen months is required in order to receive permanent benefit from commitment to the school
PHYSICAL EQUIPMENT
The school proper consists of three buildings two honor cottages and a receiving building The new receiving building was opened for occupancy on November 7 1940 Most of the furnishings for the building were new as the old building was never adequately furnished and such furnishings as it had were badly worn This building accommodates fifty girls each of whom has a separate room The individual rooms are proving of great value in regard to discipline and progress with industrial training When a new girl is admitted she is assisted by workers and older girls with the care of her room until she is able to give it proper care alone The attractive dresser and bed with which each room is furnished is a joy to girls coming from poverty stricken homes
EDUCATIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
Onehalf of each school day is spent at industrial work the other halfday is spent in the school room with the academic work The basis of the vocational training is home economics Practically all training centers around this In addition to cooking the home economics course includes cleaning serving laundry work and sewing Each girl is taught to take proper care of her own room clothing and other personal effects All work is done under supervision at all times The supervisor gives instruction and such help as is needed and inspects the work when finished pointing out its merits and defects with suggestions for improvement The academic work extends only through the eighth grade During the past year there has been a higher percentage than usual who have entered the seventh and eighth grades but most of the girls are poorly equipped in regard to oral reading and general knowledge which makes it difficult fpr them to advance Some of the girls are mentally retarded a number of them to a marked degree Those who are able to do more advanced work are given the opportunity to attend school after leaving here if it is possible to make such arrangements The National Youth Administration has been of great assistance in making it possible for them to continue in school Six girls entered institutions of higher learning during the past year and according to all reports are making satisfactory records The present enrollment by school grades is as follows
State of Georgia
83
First grade 1 8
Second grade 10
Third grade 11
Fourth grade 12
Fifth grade 29
Sixth grade 29
Seventh grade 18
Eighth grade 30
One of the greatest problems confronting at this time is the large number of mentally deficient children who have been placed in the school Psychological tests should be given before commitment in order that the mentally deficient child may be sent to the Training School for Mental Defectives and the incorrigible child to the Training School for Girls
MEDICAL AND DENTAL SERVICE
The general health of the school has been good Careful attention to all minor ailments has doubtless been responsible for the excellent health record of the school All members are given physical examinations and medical and dental care as needed A trained nurse under the supervision of the physician is in charge of the health program Many of the girls are in poor physical condition when they are admitted to the school but all show marked improvement soon after entrance Routine tests for venereal disease and intestinal parasites are made at time of entrance These tests are repeated at regular intervals until all possibility of infection is eliminated The school physician holds a clinic once each week and answers all emergency calls Seven girls have been fitted with eye glasses and there are others to be fitted as soon as necessary arrangements can be made Local organizations of the Lions Club have borne this expense in several cases
Dental clinics are held as often as necessary All girls receive a dental examination every three or four months and such work as is necessary is done at the time of examination with emergency work between examinations Dr Tharpe of the State Board of Public Welfare examined the teeth of all inmates during the month of April A short time after his visits the school was notified that some new dental equipment was to be received This was good news to all concerned as we had practically no equipment The dentist has always used his personal instruments With this equipment he will be able to meet the needs of the school with efficient work
RELIGIOUS TRAINING
Religious training is given a foremost place in the life of the school Devotional exercises are held daily and three services each Sunday The Business Mens Evangelistic Club is responsible for furnishing a speaker each Sunday afternoon The speaker often brings musicians to furnish special music and this is a very enjoyable part of the program
84
Department of Public Welfare
THE RECREATIONAL PROGRAM
The recreational program is maintained through the cooperation of teachers and matrons Daily periods of play and relaxations with outdoor activities include baseball dodge ball and other outdoor games Picnics and fish fries are held on holidays and other occasions and are always greatly enjoyed by the girls Indoor activities include parties amateur programs short plays and a variety of indoor games A modern R C A photophone is a means of giving excellent entertainment each Saturday afternoon and on holidays The films are furnished gratis by local branches of film companies The selection of films furnished is excellent and by far the most interesting feature of the schools recreational program Each cottage is supplied with a radio and piano The radios are placed so that they can be used in the school rooms for programs that are used in the public schools The girls have been generously supplied with library books and magazines from local organizations and individuals
PAROLE WORK
It has been difficult to find suitable homes offering protection and supervision for girls who are ready to be placed on parole It is often necessary for them to remain a longer period than the minimum time of fifteen months because of the difficulty of finding suitable homes as the majority of them come from broken homes which accounts for their delinquency in the first place Only thirtytwo of the present enrollment have parents who are living together In some cases counties from which girls were committed have been unwilling to accept them back into the community or the county and have requested that they be placed in other sections of the State This has added to the difficulty of making placements The county directors of the State Department of Public Welfare have been of great assistance in making investigations of homes in regard to parole as well as furnishing case histories at the time of commitment

ANNUAL REPORT OF GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR MENTAL DEFECTIVES Dr John W Oden Superintendent
On May 22nd 1941 Dr Edw W Schwall Superintendent was transferred to the Milledgeville State Hospital as clinical director the present superintendent assuming charge of the Gracewood institution on that date The year which ended June 30 1941 was an exceedingly busy onean extensive repair program was carried out a fireproof hospital was completed and equipped a dormitory for boys at Circular Court completed and equipped an assistant physicians residence built and practically every building on the grounds renovated all of which enabled the institution to materially increase its population
HEALTH
Due to the development of four cases of typhoid fever careful check was made of the water supply the milk and the possibility of possible typhoid carriers in the building in which all of the cases occurred With the assistance of the local Health Board the child responsible for the carrying of the disease was located All of the cases made an uneventful recovery and every inmate of the institution and practically all of the employees have received adequate typhoid inoculations At present a series of Schick tests are being made on the inmates and those that are positive will be given preventive medication for diphtheria There was also recently developed in the institution one case of diphtheria the source of which could not be determined This child also made an uneventful recovery and within the next few weeks every inmate will have been properly protected against the disease Other than the diseases mentioned above the health of the inmates has been unusually good throughout the year
The children continue to receive dental service as needed a total of 425 visited the dental clinic during the year and received necessary treatment
PERSONNEL
Many of the present personnel have been with the institution over a long period of years and it is heartening to note that these faithful people remain loyal and continue to give excellent service The management continues to receive the wholehearted cooperation of every member of the force which in turn enables the management to see that the inmates receive the best care it is possible to give them The food is always good plentiful and nourishing The matrons are alert and keep the children in excellent condition
REPAIRS NEEDED
It must always be kept in mind that insane and mentally defective individuals are by nature destructive consequently there is much repair work needed at the institution regardless of the fact that a great deal has been done during the past several years Two of the wooden buildings need new flooring as the present floors are rapidly rotting and many of the joists will have to be replaced Many lavatories bath tubs and showers need renovation or replacement In making these
State of Georgia
87
replacements etc it is felt that a different type to the ones now used should be installed No equipment that can be easily destroyed should be placed in an institution of this kind
TRAINING
The larger higher grade boys perform farm duties as it is felt this type of work is worth a great deal more to them from the standpoint of occupational therapy than their labor to the State It is hoped eventually to build a shop on the grounds of the institution where boys may be taught and trained to use certain types of machinery The larger higher grade girls are taught cooking laundry work sewing operation of telephone exchange and to perform duties in the hospital wards In addition all children capable of learning have periods in regular class rooms
FARMING
For several months in the spring of the year the severest drought in the history of the community was experienced then followed almost two months of continuous rain the production from the gardens was consequently materially curtailed The cotton and corn crops will not be as much as was first anticipated however it is hoped a sufficient amount of corn hay and oats will be harvested to carry the institution through the year without having to buy any of these commodities From the present outlook it is not anticipated more than ten or fifteen bales of cotton will be harvested During the year the farm supervisors exerted every effort but the drought in the spring the rains in the summer added to the difficulties of employing farm labor have very materially retarded farm production
RECREATION
Every effort has been made to continue a very high type of entertainment for the inmates It is the sincere desire of the management to keep the children healthy happy and contented and to return as many of them as possible to their communities as assets instead of liabilities It is the institutions ambition to gather up the driftwood of humanity treat train and protect and in so far as is possible school them into being selfsupporting citizens It is of course not possible to admit to the institution a child with a chronological age of fourteen and a mental age of four and later to return this type of individual to his home as selfsupporting but where the mental age will permit there is no reason why many of the children cannot be removed from the institution from time to time provided the management has the cooperation of the families and county authorities Some of the county officials are most cooperative others do not assist in making provision for the care of the children after it is felt they have obtained all possible benefit to be derived from the institution
NEEDS
The institution is now spending money unnecessarily by heating the buildings with separate units also heating water by separate units It is realized that to
88
Department of Public Welfare
install a central heating plant would be costly however it is believed the safety and curtailed expenses would be worth everything it would cost the State to install such plant
It is also strongly urged that a custodial department be erected in the vicinity of the institution but not on the grounds where the highgrade children are located The most distressing requests received come from mothers fathers and welfare workers for admission of lowgrade mental defectives To date this type of child has not been given proper consideration Neither have any arrangements ever been made for the care of the Negro mentally deficient children Any buildings erected for this purpose would necessarily be placed a sufficient distance from the present buildings so as to be entirely separate and distinct from the white section in so far as intermingling or contact is concerned
DAIRY
Recently the dairy herd was examined for tuberculosis and Bangs disease The report of the examiner showed that none of the herd had any evidence of tuberculosis and there was only one positive for Bangs disease and three suspects The instructions of the State veterinarian regarding these are being carried out The institution owns some excellent dairy cattle however practically all of the available land is being cultivated which leaves very little pasture land If the institution is to keep abreast of its needs for dairy supplies it would appear to be imperative that some land be purchased adjacent either to Circular Court or Gracewood property for this purpose The institution is still not purchasing any commercial dairy feed but continues to use produce grown on the institution farms in producing a well balanced ration for the dairy cows

CRIPPLED CHILDREN DIVISION
The Crippled Childrens Service of the State Department of Public Welfare operates under a plan approved by the Chief of the Childrens Bureau of the United States Department of Labor Washington D C The program for Crippled Childrens Service is exclusively a service program Funds are derived from State and Federal appropriations in approximately equal amounts A State Plan for Service for Crippled Children as required by the Federal Social Security Act is submitted by the State Department annually to the Chief of the Childrens Bureau of the United States Department of Labor for approval The plan states in detail the types of crippling conditions eligible for service as well as how where and by whom the services are rendered The plan must meet the Federal requirements else no funds will be available from the Federal Government in order to carry on the program The Federal requirements which must be inculcated in the State Plan for Crippled Childrens Services are as follows
1 The State must participate financially
2 There must be a State agency administering the services which must be available in every political subdivision in the State
3 The plan submitted must describe concisely the methods of administration
4 The State agency must agree to render all reports requested
5 plan must describe how the state agency meets the Federal requirement To extend and improve as far as practicable under the conditions in such State services for locating crippled children and for providing medical surgical corrective and other services and care and facilities for diagnosis hospitalization and aftercare for children who are crippled or who are suffering from conditions that lead to crippling
6 The plan must provide for cooperation with medical health nursing and welfare groups
The first State plan submitted by Georgia for Crippled Childrens Service was
Uarter of fiscal yeaf oi 1938 This was approved by the Chief of
ne Childrens Bureau thereby enabling the service to begin as of April 1 1938
1 The GeorSia law providing services for crippled children does not set forth the definition of a crippled child It was therefore necessary that a definition be formulated by the State agency This was done and the following definition accepted in the working plan for services for crippled children in the State of Georgia
A child between the ages of birth and twentyone years who is sufficiently handicapped by any of the following conditions to restrict his or her normal development physically socially or economically
1 Any of the abnormal conditions generally considered to fall within the scope of orthopedic surgery namely The deformities and diseases of the bones and Joints and of their related structures muscles ligaments tendons and nerves This statement contained in the preface of Shands Handbook of Orthopedic Surgery has been accepted by the Crippled Childrens Program as a comprehensive statement as to the conditions embraced by the above ne exception is being made to the above statement towit no acute frac
92
Department of Public Welfare
tures fractures of a duration less than six months will be accepted under this program
2 Eye defects such as muscular imbalance strabismus congenital cataracts etc in so far as amenable to surgery may be accepted for treatment Refractions and the fitting of glasses are permissible only when necessary for the completion of other operative work The possibility of discontinuing service to eye cases is being seriously considered which service to terminate as of June 30 1941
3 In addition such plastic surgery may be done as is necessary to relieve condi tions which may seriously restrict the childs chances for development as outlined under our Definition of a Crippled Child Such cases will include cleft palate harelip and burn contractures
A State register is maintained in the State office by a registrar The register gives the following information pertaining to the cases
1 Cases approved for registration and treatment
2 Cases approved for registration only
3 Cases not approved for registration Usually because the physical defect present is not included in the definition of a crippled child which is stated in the State Plan for Crippled Childrens Service
Cases are closed when the patient has reached twentyone years of age residence is changed to another State death of the patient or when treatment is complete
Cases are referred to Crippled Childrens Service by the County Welfare Departments who certify as to financial eligibility as well as supply narrative information setting forth a brief history of the crippling condition and remarks about the existent environmental factors which may influence aftercare in the home
The actual rendering of medical services to children accepted for care by the Program is done by qualified specialists in their particular field The orthopedic surgeons who participate in the program are members or eligible for membership in the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons They receive a monthly retainer fee for parttime service and other specialists are paid on a case basis
The following hospitals approved by the American College of Surgeons are used as treatment centers
Emory University Hospital Emory University Georgia White patients only
Georgia Baptist Hospital Atlanta Georgia White patients only
Harris Memorial Hospital Atlanta Georgia Colored patients only
Piedmont Hospital Atlanta Georgia White patients only

During the fiscal year ending June 30 1941 1216 patients were hospitalized in the various hospitals on the service of an orthopedic surgeon
n addJtion to atment received in the hospital centers a convalescent home Aidmore with a bed capacity of forty is maintained in Atlanta Georgia by the Elks of the Fifth Congressional District Care is purchased from the institution at the rate of 200 per day During the past fiscal year 317 patients were cared for m the convalescent home A teacher is assigned to the convalescent home by the WPA In addition to the regular staff of nurses there is an occupational therapist and a qualified physical therapist
Diagnostic clinics are held at intervals for the purpose of obtaining for the applicant an examination by an orthopedic surgeon A plan for the establishment of permanent clinics is being considered to replace the itinerate types now being used
It is estimated that there are 18000 crippled children in Georgia below the age of 21 years This estimate is based on figures released by the Childrens Bureau of the United States Department of Labor
Every effort has been made during the fiscal year to correlate Crippled Childrens Service with other agencies in order to render every service possible to a crippled child for example the Public Assistance Division has assisted not only by making available case work services of their trained social workers whenever such service was needed but also by certifying the families for general relief or surplus commodities the Child Welfare staff has cooperated by giving case work service when requested by the County Welfare Directors at the suggestion of the State Medical Social Consultant the State Department of Health refers any case which involves a crippling condition the services of the county public health nurses are considered invaluable in assisting the county welfare directors to follow through with medical

recommendations cases are referred to the Vocational Rehabilitation Division of the State Department of Education and reports regarding the disposition of the case by the division are routinely submitted to the State Crippled Children s Service the National Youth Administration has assisted in every way in order to make possible the facilities of the agency to the crippled child in the State who is eligible for NYA consideration
The total expenditures for benefits for care under this service for the past fiscal year amounted to 18293223 as against 2229201 expended for the fiscal year June 30 1938 and 16266325 expended for the fiscal year ending June 3U W

CHILD WELFARE SECTION OF DIVISION OF INSTITUTIONS AND CHLDRENS SERVICES
The growth and development of children have become increasingly the concern of the nation state and local community due to the realization that the future of America depends upon the children of the present Resultant progress has been evident in the fields of welfare health and education
In Georgia the care of children has improved This has been made possible through a Child Welfare Services fund from the Federal Government and through State funds which have been used jointly to establish extend and strengthen services to children This Federal fund is a provision of the Social Security Act of 1935 which also includes Crippled Childrens Services Maternal and Child Health Services Aid to Dependent Children besides other provisions for strengthening family life Each state which has worked out a plan jointly with the U S Childrens Bureau receives 10000 plus an allotment apportioned on the basis of rural population of the state to the rural population of the United States Georgia received 46130 for this past year which was the sixth largest grant
These funds were expended to provide a statewide service to children by a trained child welfare staff which consisted of the following supervisor of Child Welfare Services two state consultants eight district consultants and eight child welfare workers The supervisor of Child Welfare Services assisted the chief of the division in planning and carrying out the plant for the program The state consultants were responsible for supervision in their half of the State One of these consultants was responsible also for the supervision of child placing and adoptions The State was divided into eight districts to which there was assigned a district consultant who offered consultant services to the director of the county departments of public welfare on child welfare problems both as to advice regarding the services direct to children and their families as well as to communities in helping them to improve conditions affecting child welfare and to create more adequate child welfare resources Child welfare consultants in a few cases worked directly with the children and their families however this was true in a limited number of cases only inasmuch as the districts through necessity were large and such service for a greater number of cases was impossible
The county child welfare workers however being assigned to one county only except for a worker assigned to the tricounty unit Bryan Liberty and Long counties Camp Stewart were able to give more intensive service to a larger number of children and also to the community in assisting the community in establishing more adequate service These units were selected on the basis of need and local interest and on the possibility of the communitys being able to absorb the expense of the salary of the child welfare worker after a reasonable length of demonstration This was true of all the units with the exception of the tricounty unit which was established on an exploratory basis to determine in the community the needs related to national defense as well as other child welfare needs
4 counties which are as follows Bryan Liberty and Long Counties constituting one unit and Coffee Coweta Dougherty Lowndes Spalding Sumter and Whitfield have increased in their interest and understanding of the child welfare program and a number of them have participated in the workers salaries Coweta Dougherty Whitfield counties onehalf the workers salaries Spalding and Sumter counties onefourth of the workers salaries Further local interest and understand

ing was evidenced in all the counties by increased participation in community thinking and planning for children In some of the communities child welfare advisory councils have been meeting regularly to study and plan for children on an individual and group basis this was particularly true in Coweta Sumter and Whitfield counties and in Dougherty county this work was undertaken by a Youth Council As an outgrowth of these committees a juvenile court was established in Whitfield county and the possibility of the establishment of a juvenile court in Sumter county is under consideration A large number of children were given the opportunity of attending a summer camp operated by the recreational program of the Works Progress Administration through the cooperation of local citizens These camps afforded the children a week of outdoor life a new experience to many wholesome food a lot of funswimming hiking handcraft storytelling and smging A group of children were sent from Coweta Dougherty Sumter and Whitfield counties
Civic and religious groups have been interested in sponsoring child welfare activities in other communities For example the American Legion of Sumter county has provided for some time a child welfare service fund which was used in bringing about a more adequate adjustment of the children The following are some of the ways the fund was expended an emergency supplementation to the family income boarding home care eyeglasses shoes and scholarships The American Legion also provided a child welfare service fund during the exploratory study of Bryan Liberty and Long counties As stated above there were a large number of other groups and individuals who have assisted in the development of children through their active interest
Since July 1938s1 about 6000 children have applied for service out of which 1500 applied during the past year Of the latter about 1300 were accepted or service about 150 were referred to another agency after investigation about 1UU received advisory service and the others had some other disposition while a tew were still pending at the end of this year
Most of the children were referred for Child Welfare Services by the county departments of public welfare a few by the State Department of Pubhc Welfare others by legal authorities health authorities school authorities ministers parents and relatives neighbors and civic organizations It was to be expected that the great majority would be referred by the county departments of public welfare inasmuch as for some time an effort has been made to strengthen the relationship between the county departments of public welfare and the wer
staff in order to facilitate the giving of increasingly better service to children 1 fiat is except in isolated cases Child Welfare Services were always offered through the county departments of public welfare
The greatest number of children was referred because of poverty bad home conditions neglect or cruelty and the second largest number was referred because of the childs being a conduct problem in his home school or community Other children were referred because of being mentally physically or socially handicapped and still others for foster care which might be due to any of the above other problems Many of these children were in homes which were inadequate from the physical mental and emotional standpoint therefore an effort was made to try to raise the standards so the child would have an opportunity for satisfactory develop
Statistical information is available beginning July 1938

ment Services to children in their own homes consisted of working with the child the family welfare health or educational groups and other people depending upon the individual situation and the resources available
In working with children an effort was made to understand why a child behaved as he did and on this basis to try to eliminate factors that were detrimental to the childs development and to stimulate factors that were constructive This varied with the different children In some cases the child would have a great feeling of insecurity and would need additional attention from his family school etc or it might have been that the parents needed more understanding of his behavior or the like In other situations the child was an orphan and an effort was made to see if there were relatives who might provide a satisfactory home for him and if not to see whether the child should be placed in a foster home or institution
Although it is an accepted fact that the best place for a child in most instances is his own home it is sometimes necessary to remove a child from his home on a temporary or permanent basis and foster care is considered which might be foster home care or institutional placement
FOSTER HOME CARE
Foster home care consists of care in substitute family homes and is utilized when after careful study of the child in relationship to his own family it has been determined that he should be removed from his natural home either temporarily or permanently
The boarding home is a home in which a regular amount of money is paid for the care and training of the child These homes are carefully investigated previous to being used and the children are supervised in the homes by child welfare workers after placement These homes are used for children who have developed antisocial patterns of behavior who need change of environment under the care of wise understanding foster parents While these children are in foster homes their relatives keep in touch with them and a child welfare worker assists in building up the family life so that the child can return to his home after a period of retraining
The use of these homes has been varying in success depending on the seriousness of the childs maladjustment and the cooperation of the natural parents in making the period of boarding home care effective Further this type of care is used also for dependent children particularly in cases where a parent is ill and temporary care is needed or where the parent works and is unable to supervise the child Boarding homes are also used for young infants in order to give the mother an opportunity to make a wise decision as to whether she can plan to care for the child later or if she decides it is for the childs best interests to release it for adoption
Free homes are not recommended in many instances for the reason that free foster homes do not readily accept supervision and suggestions regarding the care of children also because too often a child is given a free home because of his contribution through his labor However work or wage homes have been used to a small extent and should be further developed with a definite arrangement in each instance with the foster families for pinmoney or a small wage in exchange for the work required of the boy or girl with the further understanding of the kind and amount of work required
102
Department of Public Welfare
Adoptive homes are used for children who have been determined through study of heredity and background and through careful physical and mental tests to be children suitable for adoption after which the person or persons legally responsible for the particular child releases the child for adoption In each instance the home desiring to adopt a child is approved only after careful investigation of the financial and moral fitness of the prospective adoptive parents to rear a child after which an endeavor is made to fit a particular child to a particular home depending on the opportunities and advantages the home has to offer
Adoption of children has become increasingly popular and it has not been possible to supply the homes that have been approved because of the scarcity of children determined to be free and suitable for adoption This situation is true not only in Georgia but throughout the United States
In Georgia on June 30 1941 there were 36 approved adoptive homes unused one reason being because of the large number of indiscriminate placements of tiny babies through persons not licensed to do child placing in homes that have not been investigated or approved This practice is widespread and is made possible because the law does not prohibit the mother from releasing the child to any individual or individuals desiring to adopt the child Unsound placements often make for tragedies later on in life for at least one and sometimes all concerned the mother s sense of insecurity and emotional stress immediately after the child s birth the childs unfitness for the particular home and often the unsuitability of the home tor the special child being factors in the lack of success of the placements affecting the future life of the own mother child and adoptive parents
On June 30 1941 203 children were in foster homes under supervision 67 in boarding homes 85 in free homes 44 in adoptive homes and seven in wage homes all of whom were placed by the child welfare staff These figures do not include the 15 children legally adopted during the year who were under supervision previous to completion of adoption
The child welfare division of Fulton County Department of Public Welfare accepted children for foster home care through commitment by the Fulton County Tuvenile Court On June 30 1941 225 children were under supervision in foster homes 192 of whom were in boarding homes 22 in free homes eight in wage homes and three in adoptive homes
Child placing was also undertaken by the three licensed child placing agencies who report regularly to the State Department of Public Welfare They are as follows Child Welfare Association of Fulton and DeKalb Counties Childrens Service Bureau of the Hebrew Orphans Home Tuttle Newton Home which is primarily concerned with the care of children in its institution and which makes only a minimum number of placements The Appleton Church Home is operating on a temporary license and has a program somewhat similar to the Tuttle Newton Home
Not included in the above figures are seven children in six adoptive homes placed in Georgia from other states bonds being furnished in accordance with the Georgia law These children are being supervised in the homes previous to adoption two by the Child Welfare Association of Fulton and DeKalb Counties and four by child welfare consultants In addition one child was brought into the State by the Childrens Service Bureau of the Hebrew Orphans Home who took full responsibility for placement and supervision

An amendment to the Adoption Law was passed on March 27 1941 The law provides for petitions in all adoption cases to be forwarded to the State Department of Public Welfare with a request for an investigation and a report to be made to the Superior Court previous to the hearing through the agents of the State Department of Public Welfare or one of the licensed child placing agencies
From March 27 1941 through June 30 1941 40 petitions were filed representing 42 children and 40 families Eight investigations and reports were made to the Superior Courts representing 9 children and 8 families 6 were undertaken by child welfare consultants representing 7 children and 6 families and 2 by the Child Welfare Association On June 30 1941 there were 32 petitions pending representing 33 children and 32 families of whom 18 had been referred to child welfare consultants and 13 to the Child Welfare Association representing 14 children and 13 families and one had been referred jointly to a child welfare consultant and to the Child Welfare Association
INSTITUTIONAL CARE
In Georgia for a number of years a large number of children have received care in institutions During the past year 4044 children received this type of care Two hundred and thirtyfour were in institutions for dependent children 1067 in the training schools 943 were in local public caring institutions for delinquent children
The following were the populations for the institutions during the past year Institutions for Dependent ChildrenAnn Elizabeth Shepherd Orphans Home 28 Anson Dodge Memorial Home 8 Appleton Church Home 37 Atlanta Childs Home 113 Bethesda Home for Boys 103 Carrie Steele Pitts Home 94 Episcopal Orphanage 19 Ethel Harpst Home 159 Georgia Baptist Orphans Home 327 Georgia Industrial Home 63 Gould Cottage 68 Happiness Cottage 12 Hepzibah Orphanage 39 Hillside Cottages 120 Kings Daughters Nursery Home 25 Kings Daughters Home for Children 28 Masonic Home of Georgia 94 Masonic Home School 5 Methodist Childrens Home of North Georgia Conference 136 Methodist Childrens Home of South Georgia Conference 134 Open Door Home 67 St Josephs Home for Boys no report St Marys Home no report Sarah Devenure Murphy Home no report Savannah Female Orphans Home 24 Shiloh Orphanage 37 Southern Industrial Orphans Home 186 Southern Christian Home 48 Toccoa Orphans Home 35 Tuttle Newton Home 27 Training Schools Georgia Training School for Boys 389 Georgia Training School for Girls 225 Georgia Training School for Mental Defectives 453 Local Public Institutions for DelinquentsBibb County Juvenile Home 67 Chatham County Industrial Farm and School 151 Chatham County Protective Home 18 Childrens Home of Chatham County 270 Richmond County Reformatory 35 Fulton County Industrial Farm white 103 Fulton County Industrial Farm colored 299
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICE
Psychological services were offered by a child welfare psychologist to children who had been referred by the child welfare staff in order to obtain more understanding of the childrens capacity so as to facilitate planning During the past year about 600 children received psychometric tests and about 15 received personality studies

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
A large number of children have benefited through service direct from the Child Welfare Program as well as many who have benefitted and will benefit in the future because of the increase of community interest understanding and resources which have been fostered by the Child Welfare Program
Because of the nature of the service it is difficult to point out specific accomplishments and this is particularly true of work in the districts however progress has been evident in this area especially in regard to stimulation of community interest to community activity along child welfare lines particularly in the establishment of child welfare units Lowndes county was established during the past year and this county as well as the other county units flourished All the counties participating in the salaries of the child welfare workers continued this and in July Coweta Spalding and Sumter counties began participation Coweta increasing its participation in January The tricounty unit begun as an exploratory study in an area of national defense at Camp Stewart Hinesville Ga obtained increasing community support and this unit is to continue as well as a unit is to begin in Muscogee county Ft Benning
The passage of the Adoption Law was a step forward in social legislation and social service because it provided for a report and investigation to be made by a social agency
NEEDS OF GEORGIA
The needs of Georgia that are of particular concern are as follows 1 More district consultants and county child welfare workers so that service to children can be more extensive and more intensive 2 Funds for boarding home care 3 Revision of the Child Placing Law Desertion and Nonsupport Law and Bastardy Law 4 Juvenile Court age should be raised from under 16 years to under 18 years 5 Needs of institutions for dependent children a Continued development of the present program and modification of policies to meet changing conditions and needs Individualized and specialized care should be provided b Employment of additional professionally trained staff to make possible the carrying out of these policies c Plans for better recreational program and vocational program d Increasingly closer correlation of the institutional program with other services for children e Additional funds for maintenance of eleemosynary institutions for children should be provided

Under the new budget act approved February 4 1941 funds accrued to the credit of the Department on the basis of a quarterly approved budget and not on the basis of the Departments prorata share of available revenue collections as set forth in the general appropriation act Also under budgetary procedure prescribed by the State Budget Bureau for determining the actual State funds to be made available for the quarter the quarterly budget is reduced by the amount of any surplus State funds held by the Department at the close of the previous quarter Therefore the surplus State funds as reflected in this report represent only the excess of funds provided under the budget for quarter ended June 30 1941 over obligations incurred for the quarter and such unexpended balances under the budgetary procedure cannot be considered as surplus funds available for expenditure in excess of the quarterly budgets for the next fiscal year
Federal funds are advanced to the State based upon budget estimates for deposit in special bank accounts and are only subject to withdrawals when expenditures are made chargeable to the activities for which the funds are allocated Therefore unexpended Federal funds at the close of the year represent unallocated Federal agencies funds on deposit with the State and are so classified in this report

On December 31 1940 the several State Institutions and Building Fund had a combined cash deficit of 17281816 as against a cash surplus on June 30 1941 as shown above of 2157000
The creating of deficits is now impossible due to the absolute control over
obligations provided under the budget system established by the State Budget Bureau A separate amount is approved for each of the various budget items of expenditure and is the limit by which commitments can be made for each of the items for the quarter A separate allotment sheet is maintained for each of these items against which commitments are charged when made and this Division cannot validate for payment a proposed commitment unless the remaining balance under the particular budget item is sufficient to cover the charge

STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WELFARE
ATLANTA GEORGIA December 1 1942
His Excellency Honorable Eugene Talmadge Governor State of Georgia Atlanta Georgia
Dear Sir
I am submitting herewith my annual report and my recommendations and suggestions as required by the Welfare Acts of 1937
Under those Acts we have many extraordinary duties to perform notwithstanding the object of our creation was mainly to render public assistance to the aged the blind and dependent children
The following State Eleemosynary Institutions were also put under our jurisdiction and management and control
Milledgeville State Hospital Georgia Training School for Boys Georgia Training School for Mental Defectives Georgia Academy for the Blind Georgia School for the Deaf Georgia Training School for Girls also the Confederate Soldiers Home
Prior to these Welfare Acts these institutions were under a Board of Control of Eleemosynary Institutions created and established by the Legislature in 1931 approved August 28 1931
I assumed my duties as State Welfare Director on January 14 1941
I am first giving you a statement of the number of persons who were employed in the State Department on January 1 1941 the number of those same employees who are here now and the number who for various reasons
are not here nowas follows
Employees in State Office on January 1 1941 176
Still employed on November 20 1942 36
Not here former State Director 1
Written resignations to accept better positions 44
Written resignations no reason given 37
Written resignations to marry and discontinue work 4
Written resignations needed at home 3
Written resignations poor health 2
Written resignations for school work 1
Released by State Department of Public Welfare 23
Absent military and educational leave 10
Temporary employment only 8
Positions abolished or discontinued 5
Moved out of State 2 176
6
Department op Public Welfare
Next I am giving you an analysis of the County Welfare Directors in the
159 counties as follows
Employed January 1 1941 in County Welfare Depts 158
Some Directors still employed November 20 1942 102
Written resignations to accept better positions 26
Written resignations no reason given 2
Written resignations needed at home 6
Absent military educational and sick leave 8
Released 8
Failed in examinations 5
Moved away 1 158
Only one county did not have a Welfare Director on January 1 1941
I am not itemizing the other employees in the County Welfare Departments because they run in about the same proportion as the County Welfare Directors
The following is the total number of employees in both State and County Welfare Departments on January 1 1941 and November 20 1942
Aggregate number on January 1 1941 927
Aggregate number on November 20 1942 836
Decrease since January 1 194191
All employees are included in this 836 all executive and administrative officers in all State and County Welfare offices as well as all other employees
Attached hereto is a list by counties of the number of old age recipients in January 1941 and November 1942
The increase from January 1941 to November 1942 was 7068 or 29335
Largest increase was 22888 in Lowndes County smallest 1479 in Lee County
Chattahoochee County alone showed a decrease due to the fact that most of that county has been added to the Fort Benning Reservation
The amount of money required to take care of our public assistance program which includes old age people the blind and dependent children is a tremendous sum a heavy load for the State under present conditions
Runs annually into millions as shown by the following figures
Annual payments to the aged the blind and dependent children based on November 1942
recipients aggregate 423749340
Administration costs and grants to counties
based on this quarters budget 71064000
Total 494813340
These 494813340 are State funds only
Included in this 494813340 are traveling expenses of all employees both State and County incurred in the discharge of their official duties on our program
Right here may I state that my own expenses including travel and all other expenses during my tenure of office now nearly two years aggregate 14660 or 6785 for the year 1941 and 7875 for the year 1942
State of Georgia
7
No other expenses whatever were incurred except two trips to Washington D C on official business with the Federal Social Security Board and one trip to Chicago for conference with Honorable Paul V McNutt Social Security Administrator and the State Directors of the other fortyseven States of the Union as hereinafter explained
Number of Old Age Recipients on the Pension Rolls in November 1942 70841
More to be added this month more next month Both will be above the monthly average due to public announcement that money was available foj all old age eligibles
Additions to Old Age Pension Rolls since the close of the fiscal year on
June 30 1942 are 5565 made up as follows
Applications pending June 30 1942 14138
Applications received in July 1942 1195
Applications received in August 1942 1172
Applications received in September 1942 2036
Applications received in October 1942 1634
20175
Approved for payment 5565
Denied or otherwise disposed of 3361 8926
Net applications still pending October 31 1942 11249
July August September and October 1942 were far above the average number of applications After December of this year the average will greatly decrease I do not believe there will be over 500 or 600 per month I believe the peak in old age applications has already been reached or will be in the very near future
Death is always knocking knocking knocking at the door of these old age people
In 1941 deaths and other causes removed 5240 and 6179 in 1942 This was an increase in removals of 936 in one year which will become greater with the passing years 11419 in two years
Six million dollars annually of State funds it would seem will in a very short while be needed to take care of these recipientsthe aged the blind and dependent children
Preference has been given by us to the old age people on account of the very large number of applications pending and to the blind Dependent children have been given preference in emergency cases only More attention should be given to dependent children in the future
It would have required additional millions to take care of all dependent children
The financial load has more than doubled since 1940 as shown by the following
Payments to the Old Age People the Blind and Dependent Children Federal State and County Funds
For fiscal year ending June 30 1942 747343500
For fiscal year ending June 30 1941 532871050
For fiscal year ending June 30 1940 345587450
8
Department op Public Welfare
The 1942 increase over 1941 is 402 and over 1940 is 1162
Overhead costs including County Welfare Departments are as follows
For fiscal year ending June 30 1942 86 of above payments
For fiscal year ending June 30 19411228 of above payments
For fiscal year ending June 30 19401545 of above payments
I repeat that on the present basis of November 1942 494813340 of State funds is now required annually for public assistance payments and that six million will in my judgment be necessary in the very near future
Average monthly payments to recipients as of June 30 1942 are as follows
To Old Age People 886
To the Blind 1158
To Dependent Children 923
The detailed reports of the heads of the different Divisions of this Department constitute of course part and parcel of my report All of these reports show excellent work discharged by each Division Head with outstanding ability They contain useful and valuable information for the public
For your further information this Department has signed an agreement with the Social Security Board under which this Department is to act as the agent of that Board in this State in the administration of the Civilian War Assistance program Under this agreement funds are to be advanced to this Department upon the Departments request for carrying out the purposes of the Civilian War Assistance program It is also a definite part of the agreement that the State shall incur no liability whatever in any manner shape or form in the operation of that program
We have made progress already A regional conference was held on November 2425 last at the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta This conference was attended by the State Welfare Directors and Commissioners and their assistants and representatives of the Social Security Board
The Seventh Regional District is composed of Georgia Florida Alabama Mississippi South Carolina and Tennessee
On October 1 1942 the Regional offices of the Social Security Board were transferred from Birmingham Alabama to Atlanta where they are now located
All these States were represented at the conference which was presided over by Mr Dayton H Frost Regional Representative of the Social Security Board
Miss Jane Hoey Director of the Division of Public Assistance of the Social Security Board of Washington D C an outstanding woman in the field of Public Welfare was also present Under her direction some five hundred millions of federal funds are annually distributed to the needy aged blind and dependent children
The President has already allocated to this War Assistance program five million dollars from the Emergency Fund for the President to be expended through the Georgia State Department of Public Welfare and similar agencies of the other States
RECOMMENDATIONS
Under the Welfare Act approved February 26 1937 the State Department of Public Welfare was empowered with authority to create and establish a board of trustees for the Milledgeville State Hospital and any other elemosynary institution of the State with general representation from each Congressional
State of Georgia
9
District of the State on any board which may be established such board or boards to be empowered with duties and authority delegated to them by the State Department and to function under the direction of the State Department such board or boards in the discretion of the State Department to be established whenever and wherever practicable and advisable for the operation of such institution or institutions
Our predecessors never exercised this authority nor have we as their successors
I recommend that this section of the Welfare Act be amended and in lieu thereof the State Board of Public Welfare be enlarged to eleven members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate One from the State at large and one from each Congressional District with the Governor as an exofficio member of the Board
That the term of office for each of the ten members from the several Congressional Districts shall be as follows Two for a term of two years four for a term of four years and four for a term of six years and the member from the State at large to serve at the pleasure of the Governor The members shall receive no compensation for their services other than their traveling and other expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties and it shall be provided that no elected officer of the State or any subdivision thereof shall be eligible for such appointment and that in case of the death or resignation of any member of the board the Governor shall fill such unexpired term by appointment subject to confirmation by the Senate The Board shall elect one of its members as Chairman of the Board
I recommend that the State Welfare Director be appointed by this Board to serve at the pleasure of the Board and that he be required to give bond for the faithful performance of his duties and the faithful accounting of all moneys coming into his hands as such Director in such a manner and under such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by law and provided by the Board such Director to serve as the executive and administrative officer No elected officer shall be eligible
I recommend that the State Director of Public Welfare appoint the superintendents of the several eleemosynary institutions under the jurisdiction of the State Board subject to the approval of the State Board and I further recommend that said superintendents of the several eleemosynary institutions shall appoint their own employees under a merit system of employment with the approval of the State Director All dismissals shall be in writing and shall state specifically the reason for the dismissal Any employee dismissed by a superintendent shall have the right of appeal to the State Director And it shall be the duty of the State Director or his assistant to hear the appeal and pass upon the merits of the case
I recommend that the Welfare Act be amended so as to provide that the members of the County Boards of Public Welfare shall be elected by the Grand Juries of their counties and that no elected officer of the State or any subdivision thereof shall be eligible for such election or appointment
Interim vacancies until the next regular session of the grand jury if not in session at the time the vacancy occurs may be filled by the State Director or by the Judge of the Superior Court of the Circuit in which the county is located
10
Department of Public Welfare
All vacancies except said interim vacancies caused by death resignation removal or otherwise before the expiration of such term and for the residue of such term only shall be filled by the Grand Juries in the same manner as
original appointments
I recommend that the Act approved March 27 1941 Ga Laws 1941 Page 486 be amended by striking therefrom Section 3 of that Act for the reason that it is in direct conflict with the Federal Social Security Act relating to the establishment and maintenance of personnel standards on a merit basis Under the Federal Social Security Act the State Director is invested with full power and authority to act in the matter of dismissals and suspensions of all employees in both State and County Welfare Departments which procedure I understand prevails uniformly in the other States of the Union
The Social Security Act provides that a state plan must effective Juy 1 1941 provide safeguards which restrict the use or disclosure of information concerning applicants and recipients to purposes directly connected with the administration of Old Age Assistance Aid to Dependent Children and Aid
to the Blind 1
I recommend that in pursuance of this Federal Act the General Assembly of Georgia be requested to enact suitable legislation to protect the confldentia character of all such public assistance records My information is that the other 47 States have already met the requirements of the Federal Act
In my annual report covering the fiscal year ending June 30 1941 I sta e that the Social Security Act should be amended so as to equalize federal grants to old age recipients in every State of the Union
I did not then know that such an amendment had been recommended by President Roosevelt in his message to Congress of January 16 1939
Nor did I then know that the Social Security Board itself favored it m
its report to the President
Nor of its approval by the Advisory Council of the Social Security Board It was favored by Senator George by Senator Connally and other Senators as shown by their support of what is known as the Connally Amendment which
was passed by the Senate o1
The following are examples of rank discrimination m the payment of federal
funds to old age people

These federal funds are matched by the States on a 5050 basis which
State op Georgia
11
means that Georgia recipients at that time in 1941 were receiving an average of only 820 per month as against Californias 3800 Pennsylvanias 2200 Massachusetts 2900 Connecticuts 2796 New Yorks 2490 and Hawaiis 1296
Why should the Federal Government pay an old age recipient more in one State than in another State
In other words the Government says to a recipient in Georgia I will pay you 410 but if you move to California that same recipient I will pay you 1900 If entitled to 1900 in California it should be 1900 in Georgia
The Social Security Act should be so amended as to federal funds to bring the recipients in the lower brackets up and the recipients in the higher brackets down to a common level which would not increase the federal appropriation one dime but each and every recipient in whatever state he might live would then receive exactly the same amount from federal funds and grants to Georgias recipients would in that event be nearly doubled Instead of an average of 820 per month it would be approximately 1700 to 1800 per month
My trip to Chicago related to legislation now pending before the Finance Committee of the United States Senate which if enacted would not only nearly double the old age pensions in Georgia but would bring relief to thousands of eligibles who cannot now qualify and would bring general relief to those in need in this State who are now in the depths of want poverty and suffering for which no provision is now made by the State
The counties of Georgia are not financially able to make adequate provision for these thousands of deserving people General relief is the crying and distressing need of the State
Senate Bill No 2270 by Senator Greene of Rhode Island in its original form provided for grants to the States for general relief on a 5050 basis which I opposed at the Chicago conference but agreed to support if amended so as to read variable grantsthat is grants based on the financial ability of the States to match My information is that Senator Greene has agreed to accept that amendment I agreed myself to appear before the Finance Committee of the Senate in advocacy of the bill as amended when set for a public hearing
I also agreed to appear before the same Committee in advocacy of a bill to amend the Social Security Act so as to equalize federal grants to the old age people in all the States of the Union
The Connally Bill matches all old age pensions 2 to 1 up to 1500 and 5050 above 1500 up to 4000
One or the other of these amendments should pass vshould in fact have been law long ago because the discrimination among the different states is fundamentally wrong
I recommend that this be brought to the attention of the next General Assembly in the hope that it will pass a Resolution memorializing the Congress and our Senators and Representatives especially to actively support and advocate such amendments
Realizing the very great importance of such legislation to the State and especially to the counties the Association of County Commissioners of Roads
12
Department op Public Welfare
and Revenues of the 159 counties of the State at its recent annua convention in Savannah unanimously adopted a resolution requesting our Senators and Representatives in Congress to give their active support and cy o the above amendments with instructions to its secretary to mail to each of them
a codv of the resolution lyJ
These amendments these benedictions enacted into law by Congress would mean a better and brighter and happier dayeverlasting sunshine m the lives of the old and needy people of Georgia
Respectfully submitted

REPORT OF PERSONNEL OFFICE
by
CHRISTINE PARK HANKINSON
The report of the Personnel Office covers the period from November 12 1941 to June 30 1942 and is an attempt to record the progress made in respect to personnel matters in Georgia during that period
The Personnel Officer acknowledges finding in the office when appointed on the above date a framework built by her predecessors

INTRODUCTION
Today several months after the tragedy of Pearl Harbor we face anew the question What has this year meant for Public Welfare in Georgia
There has been a change in emphasis from defense to war activities and Welfare Workers everywhere are challenged as never before to work consistently to maintain courage and certainly to show a willingness to serve at all times All of us realize that we do not have to be in uniform to win this warwe must set about to find our places which our workers are doing nobly and to hold fast to our faith with the determination to continue to keep our chin up and protect the home front until the day of victory for all of us has come
War as we know has not confined itself to people economically independent it has also entered the homes of the unfortunate disadvantaged groups who make up approximately onethird of the Nation
Confusion increase in juvenile delinquency separation of families crowded living conditions poor housing facilities lack of recreational facilities needs of children of mothers employed in essential war industries employment activities in war centers rising cost of living dependency studies for local Selective Service Boards the loss of personnel to other Government agencies the shortage of tires and gas the general acceleration of war activitiesthese are realities with which Public Welfare Workers are faced
What can I do to help win this war should be uppermost in all of our thinking planning and working There is no better way than to face calmly the tasks at hand and to perform them to the best of our ability
As we review the problems and proceedings of the past fiscal year our attention will be focused on a few questions and answers to the services which the Public Assistance Division attempts to render
1 How does the Public Assistance Division assist the counties in meeting the new problems created by the war
The Public Assistance Division renders every assistance possible in developing and giving professional assistance to the staffs of the 159 County Departments in meeting the needs of all disadvantaged persons in their counties The summary of services performed includes the proper determining of eligibility for the Social Security benefits for old age assistance aid to the blind and aid to dependent children Supervision and assistance is also given to the counties in making proper certification for general relief Work Projects Administration National Youth Administration Civilian Conservation Corps before the Civilian Conservation Corps was liquidated Surplus Commodity including lunch rooms cancer control and tuberculosis cases Services to clients are also rendered in cooperation with child welfare and crippled childrens

programs as well as cooperative services with the Selective Service Boards and other Federal and State Agencies
Despite the fact of tire and gasoline shortage and the loss of personnel to war time agencies the Directors Public Welfare Workers and the staff members are courageously trying to serve their clients and community with patience understanding and efficiency in an effort to cooperate in this all urgent war effort
2 How does the Division of Public Assistance give leadership to the County Departments
The State Department attempts to give the most helpful assistance possible to the counties through the services of highly qualified field representatives It has been difficult to spread this valuable service over the State since there are a few districts without the full time services of field representatives However every county has this Service available at least for emergency situations The county and district staffs have suffered the loss of personnel due to the financial patriotic and romantic appeal of other war agencies This has been particularly true of the clerical staff in the county offices as well as the State Office
The field representatives visit the county staffs at frequent intervals in an effort to render them as much assistance as possible The field staffs attempt to interpret Federal State and local Public Welfare policies procedures and standards As an effective means to supervising and improving standards of service the field staff attempts to review a per cent of approved and rejected public assistance cases in every county The field staff encourages the County Departments to maintain high standards of efficiency of personnel and adequacy of certifications
The untiring efforts of the field staff have contributed much toward the upbuilding of the morale of the peopletheir wise understanding and insignia of service well rendered along with the County Department personnel will assist the line of defense against want and hunger of many thousands of Georgians
3 How are the County Departments maintaining the line of defense in these war troubled days for the aged
The Old Age Assistance benefits for the past year amounted to 6002756 which gave relief in the peak month of June 1942 to 66607 cases
The average grant for old age assistance in June 1942 was 886 The recipient must not only be 65 years of age and be a resident of the State of Georgia but the applicant must not be able to provide for himself a reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health This does not imply however that a person must sign a paupers oath The sons and daughters of these elderly parents are contacted in order that they may avail themselves of the opportunity privilege and responsibility of supporting their parents if able and willing to do so
Security in old age from this assistance will do much to add happiness and independence to these elderly personsmany of whom have made
24
Department of Public Welfare
real sacrifices to rear their children now married with families of their own and unable to help
Some are now seeing their sons go to war with that added pull on the heart string With the availability of old age assistance however and the security it bringsmany of them can say with the poet Grow old along with me the best is yet to be the last of life for which the first was made trust God see all nor be afraid
The fiscal year showed an increase of 2010189 for old age assistance over last fiscal year
4 How are the blind recipients benefiting from the program during this crisis of war
During this fiscal year 24338450 was spent for aid to the blind to the group of persons 21 years of age and older and unable to provide a reasonable subsistence compatible with decency and health and who also are within the required degree of blindness
This group received an increase of 7241050 over last year Despite the tragedy caused by blindnessmany persons received their one ray of sunshine glowing through the clouds of warwhich is their blind assistance check
5 How are the children in the State to be protected today and prepared for the world of tomorrow in post war days
Aid to dependent children grants are assisting many mothersto provide suitable homes for their childrento keep them in school clothe and feed them and to give them the security which they so much need Children have rights because they are Americans Children cannot feel more secure than the family group in which they live All the efforts of the military all the work in the productive line will go for naught if the essential services which make life endurable at home should ever break down The future leaders of tomorrow need to be properly fed and trained
This year 122729450 was expended for aid to dependent childrens programs which was an increase of 62125 over the previous year
More money however is needed to take care of the pending aid to dependent children applicationsa large percent of which actually need some help
Such examples as this represent typical appeals for aid to dependent childrens aid which confront the Public Welfare Departments daily
The womans husband died with tuberculosis leaving her with a threeweeksold infant and six other stair step children under 16 yearsall girls Two of the children need tonsillectomiesone child is badly in need of glasses and all are suffering from malnutrition All of the relatives have large families of their own and are unable to help
How can the children attend school without proper food and clothing and how can the little mother pay house rent buy fuel and groceries and otherwise provide for them properly without assistance
The frail mother is needed at home with the little children too
State op Georgia
25
greatly to try to secure work and too she has never done public work and is not prepared for any skill What must she dounless aid to dependent children can be granted
The basis of participation in the payment of benefits in all the three categories Old age assistance aid to the blind and aid to dependent children is as follows Federal 50 State 45 and County 5
6 Are any steps being taken by the cooperating agencies to provide more adequately for the health and welfare of the children in school as we face the appalling figure that 40 of army rejections were attributed to diseases or physical defects traceable to malnourishment during childhood
Yes there is renewed emphasis being placed upon the school lunch program by the Surplus Commodity and Public Assistance Division of the Welfare Department the Health Department Department of Education the Work Projects Administration Agricultural Marketing Administration ParentTeachers Association and others interested in the field of nutrition and welfare Lunches were served to 504721 children last year Five thousand and ninety schools were certified by the County Welfare Departments to receive commodities which was an increase of 11 over last year
The Agricultural Marketing Administration sets up rules and regulations under which commodities may be issued to schools through the State and County Departments
Since the school is a unit for education and every coordinated activity should flow through the school principal or superintendent the school authorities are the logical persons to instigate a lunch program in the individual school
Lunch room work if integrated in the curriculum can serve not only to improve childrens diet but also to teach desirable food habits and a knowledge of the rudiments of nutrition to the children and through them to the parents
Under no condition should standards of health and sanitation be sacrificed in order to increase the number of children receiving lunches
The success of the lunch room requires the backing of the community and the cooperation of all participating agencies In schools where children participated in the school lunch program there was an increase in attendance better grades better deportment increased weight health and vitality
Statistics show that onefifth of all children in the United States are malnourished Approximately onefourth of our people are on poor diet An undernourished child grows into manhood ill equipped in both mind and body for making his or her way into society
President Roosevelt has said Hungry people undernourished people ill people do not make for strong defense I would ask no one to defend a democracy which in turn would not defend everyone in that Nation against privation and want The strength of this Nation should not be diluted by the failure of the government to protect the economic wellbeing of all citizens

Department of Public Welfare
In addition to the certification for school lunch rooms during the past fiscal year 69895 families received surplus commodities Many families benefited from the distribution of both food and clothing The County Departments also certify persons to the Food Stamp program in accordance with Agricultural Marketing Administration regulations
7 If a person wishes to apply for old age assistance aid to the blind or aid to dependent children where does the person go and who decides how much the person shall receive
All applicants should go to the county in which they reside to file applications for any type of assistance or service The County Welfare Boards after careful investigations by the county staff arrive at a decision regarding each request based upon regulations agreed upon between the State Board of Public Welfare and the Social Security Board The person applying is then notified in writing as to the decision of the County Department The applications are passed upon according to the chronological order in which they are taken and the awarding and rejections of grants are made in the same order This policy seems to be fair by both the large number of pending applications for assistance and the community Exceptions to this policy are permissible when a situation of need is such that it should be given immediate consideration
8 If a person is dissatisfied with the decision of the County Welfare Board in regard to his public assistance grant what are the privileges of the applicant
Any person whose application for public assistance has been denied and who is dissatisfied with the decision of the County Welfare Board has by Federal and State laws the right of appeal from their decision to the State Department A fair hearing presided over by a representative from the State Department is held for each appellant and on the basis of evidence submitted the State Welfare Board renders a decision which is binding upon the applicant at the County Welfare Department During the past fiscal year 201 appeals were filed
9 Due to the migration of families during these war days the separation of families due to sons going to the army or because of general family conditions families moving from one county to another is there any plan for the transfer of public assistance grants from one county to another
Yes provided that the receiving county has available funds In accordance with Federal and State laws a public assistance recipient enjoys the right of transfer of the grant from one county to another within the State There are many instances beyond the control of the recipient in which it becomes necessary for him to move to live with another son or daughterperhaps a son with whom he had been living has gone to the army or for other reasons it seems socially desirable for the recipient to move The transfer of the grant is then effected according to the procedures outlined in the public assistance records During the past year 1594 transfers were approved

10 What connection has the Department of Public Welfare with the Work Projects Administration
The Department of Public Welfare is the certifying agent for the Work Projects Administration The Work Projects Administration has the full responsibility for the assignment of workers however while the County Departments of Public Welfare certify all workers according to the Federal requirements of Work Projects Administration Although the State supervises the County Departments in the exercise of the certification process the actual certification costs are borne by the county State participation is given indirectly however through advisory or consultation service on particular problems and the interpretation given by the field staff to County Welfare Boards county officials and others as to the value of the various Federal certifications to the county In almost every instance the counties have evidenced a spirit of splendid cooperation in making these services available to their citizens even when it involved a sacrifice as it no doubt has in the case of less prosperous counties The amount spent by Work Projects Administration for certified wage earners amounted to 1181808310
11 How has the Public Assistance Division of the Public Welfare Department cooperated with the Civilian Conservation Corps CCC
The local County Welfare Departments certified boys for entrance into the Civilian Conservation Corps until the recent liquidation of the program by Congress The County Directors approved all selections for Civilian Conservation Corps enrollment They determined such matters as eligibility of the boys to whom their allotment was to be sent recommendations as to discharges changes of allotments employment and a host of other questions that arise in such a vast program Each enrollee received 3000 per month plus all food clothing barracks laundry and schooling free of charge Of the 3000 cash 1500 is sent to his dependents 700 deposited to his credit and 800 given him as spending money For the last fiscal year Georgia had 63312 men in Civilian Conservation Corps camps bringing an income to the State in money wages alone of 189936000 The Civilian Conservation Corps boys worked on National Defense soil conservation forest service and other projects Millions of trees have been planted many State parks improved and thousands of acres of eroded land saved
12 Are there any other programs or agencies to which the County Departments of Public Welfare may certify eligible persons
Yes the National Youth Administration the Crippled Childrens and Child Welfare Services of the Welfare Department In addition to Federal certifications the County Departments certify persons to public institutions of the State and by arrangement with the State Board of Health the County Departments establish the economic eligibility of applicants for aid under the State Cancer Control program
In rural counties the County Departments cooperate with the Georgia State Employment Services in the registration for that State Agency
28
Department of Public Welfare
13 What organizations working with social welfare are available to the State and County Welfare Departments for membership and attendance
A State Organization is the Georgia Conference of Social Workers which assembles once a year professional and lay persons who are interested in welfare problems all over the State Representatives from public and private social welfare offices as well as County Board members and community leaders assemble to plan together to keep all services rendered the clients as effective as possible and to improve and strengthen them as needs arise Continuing needs of the community family welfare public welfare child welfare health and recreation which must be studied in war as in peace are discussed Consideration is given to the problems of migration price control war social protection the community and the many welfare problems which will come after the war with the demobilization of our defense workers and a large part of our armed forces
On the National level in which welfare problems may be studied the workers may become members of the National Conference of Social Workers the American Public Welfare Association and the Georgia Chapter of the American Association of Social Workers
14 a What effort is made by the State Welfare Department to answer
as promptly as possible correspondence written by persons in the interest of their public assistance grants and help from any of the programswho wish to write someone because their sons have gone to the war or they are otherwise disturbed
b What provision is made by the State Welfare Office to talk with clients who wish to visit the State Office in order to talk over their troubles with sympathetic listeners
In answer to caption a of the question the case referral section in the State Office handles correspondence from all over Georgia and many outofstate inquiries in addition All letters are read and answered as carefully and promptly as possible with the purpose of trying to give a satisfactory reply to the actual inquiry of the individual A total of 14801 letters were handled by the department during the past year
In answer to caption b rooms are maintained in the State building in order that clients who visit the State Office may be interviewed privately These offices are maintained on the entrance floor of the new State Office Building for the convenience of elderly or physically handicapped clients so as to prevent them having to go upstairs The requests of the clients are referred promptly to the County Departments for their attention Last year 2575 interviews were held Careful sympathetic consideration is given at all times to the protection of the confidential nature of information secured from the clients
15 Is any provision made for giving financial relief or services to persons who are not yet 65 years of age or who do not come within the age requirements for the three types of public assistanceold age assistance aid to the blind or aid to dependent children
The financial responsibility for any other persons who are not within
State of Georgia
29
the age group required for old age assistance aid to the blind or aid to dependent children belong to the local governmental unitsthe counties Neither the State nor Federal Government has sufficient legislation at this time to enable them to make any contributions to the cost of administration of these benefits most generally termed as General Relief The total amount of general relief granted and the amount of individual grants varies from county to county as the entire fund for this purpose depends upon appropriations by County commissioners or City authorities
General relief was previously handled almost entirely by the County commissioners With the establishment of the County Welfare Departments however and with a recognition of the sound quality of their administration there has been a marked tendency on the part of county officials to utilize the services in making general relief available to those needy persons who do not come within the other categories of assistance The County Departments handle general relief in at least onethird of the counties of the State In many of the remaining counties the County Welfare Departments are asked to participate in the granting of general relief in their counties either by special or regular investigations and reports to county commissioners or by furnishing information already in the department files Very few counties report no general relief at all although in many of the smaller counties the average amount given per case is small
The average number of general relief cases in the State per month for the past fiscal year as reported by the County Welfare Departments was 5753 and the amount of money they received was 48772279 The average grant per case statewide was around 718 per case
Typical examples of these cases which apply to the County Departments for aid and for whom no Federal or State appropriations have been made are as follows
An elderly couple ages 62 and 63 are left destitute with all relatives deceasedthe woman is confined to her bed with paralysis the man has a serious heart and kidney ailment They have no property or money Both need medicine and nourishment and the woman needs nursing care Neither one is able to wait on the other They face winter without food fuel warm clothing or any place to stay How shall their needs be met
An aged mother past 70 passes away after a serious and prolonged case of typhoid fever She leaves behind to mourn their loss a badly crippled son age 45 and a mentally defective daughter age 43 The mother had been drawing an old age assistance check but now she is deceased The son is confined to a rolling chair his body twisted with disease too badly crippled to receive vocational rehabilitation He is too old for crippled childrens aid and not physically able to work and too young for old age assistance The daughter can manage to work a little when well but is not mentally capacitated to work She never finished the second grade in school She is now recovering slowly from typhoid feverthe disease which took her mother away There are no close relatives The daughter continues to need medical careboth

need nourishing food warm clothing and someone to care for them How shall this assistance be provided
16 Is there then a need for more general relief in the State
Yes there is need for both Federal and State participation in the general relief program There is such a large number of persons who are in need unemployable and are not yet 65 the minimum age requirement for old age assistance and such a small amount of money available in the State and counties that there is felt a real need for Federal funds to assist the State and counties with this needy group of persons
This general relief group described above represents for the most part unemployables not included in the public assistance programs now administered by the Statewhom the present war activity boom of employment cannot give workbut who will most likely remain charges upon the community What can be done for this group of unemployables
17 Are the County Welfare Departments cooperating with any other organizations and agencies in attempting to face the problems of migration the separation of families because of war activities and other related problems
Yes in addition to the agencies and organizations already mentioned the Department of Public Welfare cooperates with the American Red Cross USO Travelers Aid Family Welfare Societies Farm Security Administration the Social Service Index the Social Planning Councils and religious fraternal and civic organizations
18 In view of the expanded welfare activities and needs of a Nation at war is any assistance given to the State Welfare Department by Federal representatives of the Social Security Board
Yes the Regional Representatives of the Social Security Board and members of their staff visit the State at frequent intervals in an effort to render the State every assistance possible in the proper interpretation of Federal regulations and the most practical method of adapting these regulations to our own State laws A need for this assistance was felt both during peace as well as war timewhich services are being rendered to all of the States
The Social Security Board during the fiscal year has conducted administrative reviews in a selected group of counties in the State In the future this review policy is expected to be a continuous process and should be of considerable help to the state These reviews represent a cooperative governmental activity designed to coordinate the resources of the State and Federal government with the objective of helping the State to develop its own public assistance program within prescribed legal requirements and in accordance with the needs of the State
19 Is the Public Assistance Division performing any work in connection with the National Defense program
Yes renewed efforts are being made by the State and County Departments to place emphasis upon meeting the new problems created by the war Aware of the increase in food prices a special study was
State op Georgia
31
made of prices from local communities in different sections of the State including rural urban and semiurban counties Because of this increase in food clothing and other costs a revised budget guide was prepared and sent to the counties to be used in awarding grants in line with the higher cost of living during a war period
The County Welfare Departments continue to cooperate with the local Selective Service Boards in furnishing to their local draft boards information which would assist them in their determination of the degree of dependency among selectees Cognizant of the tremendous pressure of work in County Welfare Departments the State Department suggested that the service be confined to the supplying of pertinent information already on file in the county offices
It was the opinion of the State Selective Service agency that the Welfare departments were best equipped to furnish pertinent factual information on dependency as their staffs had proven their competency in securing and analyzing basic data The information given by the County departments has been of such value to the draft boards however that in certain counties the County commissioners have allowed additional administrative expenditures in order that special investigations may be made for the draft boards in exceptional cases From time to time the County departments have given this service to outofstate agencies upon request
To further expedite this service the State Department of Public Welfare and State Selective Service Board collaborated on the preparation of a referral form which could be submitted to the County department and completed by them with a minimum of time and effort
Apart from the many other problems resulting from war conditions such as family separations dependency and unforeseen medical problems and labor shortages which necessitate the Department of Public Welfare working closely with other organizations and agencies many county district and State staffs also assist with local defense activities in their afteroffice hours such as nutritional and first aid classes community services Red Cross knitting etc A real interest is also being manifested in the purchase of War Bonds and Stamps and some of the workers are investing 10 of their salaries in bonds as their part in attempting to win this war
CONCLUSION
As we review the past and look forward to the future in this great State and Nation of oursin the midst of this War torn worldmay we pledge anew our humanitarian efforts in the interest of our underprivileged Georgians and neighbors May we Fight the good fight and keep the faithand ever be guided by the Greatest Leader and Social Service worker of all who said Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto me

SURPLUS COMMODITY DISTRIBUTION DIVISION By W L Denton Chief
The Director of the Commodity Division is designated as agent for the State of Georgia to receive and distribute in accordance with regulations surplus commodities donated to the State by the Agricultural Marketing Administration
Agricultural Marketing Administration is a new name for Surplus Marketing Administration which became effective February 23 1942 upon a reorganization in the United States Department of Agriculture
The Agricultural Marketing is under the general direction of the United States Department of Agriculture Its two main purposes are 1 to assist farmers and producers in moving surplus agricultural commodities outside the normal channels of trade and commerce and encouraging domestic consumption of these commodities 2 allocating these surplus commodities to State Welfare Agencies for distribution to eligible recipients Surplus Commodities are purchased at the direction of the United States Secretary of Agriculture following a determination that a surplus problem exists and that a surplus removable program would help correct this condition
The Commodity Division is divided into five districts with principal warehouses at Atlanta Gainesville Macon Savannah and Albany Each county in the State furnishes a local warehouse for handling surplus commodities distributed within the county The State has supplied the division with thirtysix trucks which are used to move surplus commodities from carlot receiving points to the local warehouses Except for personnel the State with the cooperation of the Counties pays all operating expense of the division All Supervisory personnel in the State Office is paid for by the State At the beginning of 1942 the State employed five district Field Representatives to act in a supervisory capacity to the Project Through assistance of the Work Projects Administration all county and district warehouse personnel of over 600 employees receive their salaries from the WPA The annual payroll of this division including State and WPA funds amounts to around 50000000
The Agricultural Marketing Administration operates three main programs in the State namely 1 Direct District Distribution to needy families 2 The School Lunch Program and 3 The Food Stamp Plan Each family or individual who receives surplus commodities is investigated and certified to the commodity division as an eligible recipient by the County Departments of Public Welfare The County Departments of Public Welfare also receive and investigate applications for School Lunch Programs before certifying them to receive surplus commodities The Food Stamp Plan has been placed in operation during this year in Hall Telfair and Ware Counties in addition to Atlanta Macon Savannah Augusta Columbus and Griffin where it has been operating for some time The Stamp Plan Offices issue blue stamps semimonthly to low income families with an estimated purchasing value of 114264050
A large portion of surplus commodities received in the State during the year was distributed to the School Lunch Program which is the largest School
Since this report was made two Districts have been added to the State setup with warehouses in Augusta and Marietta
State of Georgia
87
Lunch Program in the United States The School Lunch Program embraced 5090 schools of 523273 children during the peak month which was February
1942 The sponsoring agencies and school officials cooperated splendidly in operating the school lunch programs during the year just ending and an additional increase in the school lunch program is expected for the coming year with particular emphasis being placed on the hot meal being served
The following tables will indicate the huge volume of surplus foods handled by the division during the year

CHILDRENS SERVICES
That our country strongly adheres to the belief that the welfare of its children is a nations best insurance for its future is evidenced by the number of agencies engaged in planning for the welfare of children and by the fact that problems related to the growth and development of children have become one of the chief concerns of our GovernmentNational State and Community
This interest is resulting in a greatly strengthened program for child care In Georgia marked progress has been made in improving and expand

ing our child welfare services financed by funds in which both State and Federal Governments participate These funds have been expended to provide a statewide service to children by a trained child welfare staff engaged in making the Child Welfare Services available to those needing such care and by a staff of technical experts who are rendering helpful service to the afflicted children who qualify for admission to our services for crippled children The cases handled by both of these groups have increased greatly during the past year and the efficacy of the methods used is shown in health and happiness brought to many young lives and fine foster homes for numbers of children for whom adequate provision was not otherwise made
For Child Welfare Services the total expenditure for the year ending June 30 1942 was5444815 and for Crippled Childrens Services24068340

THE GEORGIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF CAVE SPRING GEORGIA
C H Hollingsworth Superintendent
The 194142 scholastic year was possibly the most successful school term the Georgia School for the Deaf has had in recent years A second successive year of a regular and uninterrupted thirtysixweek school term adequate supplies and equipment a better coordinated academic vocational and outofschool work program together with a fine cooperative spirit exemplified by the employees all conspired to accelerating uniform progress
ENROLLMENT
Two hundred and eightyfive students 57 of whom are colored were enrolled during the 194142 school term Two hundred and sixtyfive of this number are eligible for readmission this fall New applicants on file to date number 80 75 percent of whom will probably qualify and be accepted for admission at the reopening of school in September This increase will boost the enrollment to an approximate 325 the greatest in the history of the Georgia School for the Deaf
On basis of an accepted ratio between deaf children and hearing it is estimated that a goodly number of eligible deaf children in the State are still not applying for admission despite the fact of a steadily increasing enrollment This in part may be explained by the States lack of a compulsory school law affecting the deaf However persistent efforts each year are made to contact and encourage the attendance of eligible children whose parents are not inclined to send them away to school
Vast physical improvements over the past several years provide adequate accommodations for the gradual increase in enrollment With present facilities the Georgia School for the Deaf is not only willing but anxious for every qualified deaf child to be enrolled at the earliest time convenient for his advancement
COURSES OF STUDYSCHOLARSHIPS
This is the fourth year since welldefined gradation of pupils with a clear division between the primary intermediate and advanced departments has been effected Also the vocational schedule has been so coordinated with the academic program that proper emphasis can be given all phases of training This affords an opportunity for each child to major in a course best adapted to his aptitudes and abilities In this latter respect the opportunities afforded the deaf children of the State are probably superior to that offered by the average public school
As evidence of unusually good results accruing from the present school organization in the spring of 1939 standard achievement tests disclosed that the average academic advancement of the twelveyearold pupils was one year five months Similar tests in the spring of 1942 disclosed the achievements of the twelveyearold pupils as five years in school There has been a corre

99
sponding spurt in learning for all ages For instance the past years junior class with one more year to attend school has already achieved more or is further advanced than this past years graduating class As aforesaid adequate length school terms the tools with which to work and a much higher teacher qualification requirement has advanced the Georgia School for the Deaf to where it is believed it will compare favorably with the very best of similar institutions in our country It is the desire of everyone concerned to maintain this standard
VOCATIONAL TRAINING
In addition to the six trades previously taught to wit vocational agriculture home economics printing shoe repairing industrial sewing and arts and crafts courses in beauty culture automobile reappearancing loop machine operating hosiery mill and machine shop practice were instituted For these first three more than 2000000 was expended for added building space and new equipment while three new instructors were employed
A complete innovation yet in an experimental state but showing great promise is outofschool apprentice training offered by industrial and commercial concerns to our seniors as short spring training courses These classes were organized jointly by the school and the companies offering this opportunity to deaf students They were financed jointly by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and the participating industrial concern Several seniors and a number of former graduates took advantage of this new opportunity Out of this group of thirty young deaf men and women twentyfour have completed their training and are now permanently employed
The Georgia School for the Deaf had never before offered such a variety of vocational training opportunities Due to this advantage and the scarcity of labor at the present time more deaf young people are gainfully employed than ever before in the history of the State
NORMAL TRAINING DEPARTMENT
A shortage of trained teachers the past year made it necessary to install the normal trainees as regular teachers A drastic revision of the training program became necessary to meet the exigencies of this situation Added teacher supervision was required and afterschool and night classes became necessary This invoked rather strenuous requirements on the normal instructors as well as on the trainee and supervising teachers The Normal Training Department of the Georgia School for the Deaf is recognized by the Conference of Executives of American Schools for the Deaf to the extent that the certification committee of that body over the period of the past five years has issued teacher certificates to our graduates of this department
RECREATIONAL AND COCURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Following Pearl Harbor and the subsequent rationing of gas and tires many changes were effected in the recreational and cocurricular activities program All games and interschool competitions envolving travel were eliminated A better rounded out program of intermural activities was inaugurated Hobby

Department of Public Welfare
and club groups were revised to include interests aiming along war effort lines A portion of the former recreational activities were given over to work programs where interests in the beautification of the campus were stimulated and lessons in economy and patriotism were taught and practiced through this extra labor and sacrifice Practically all athletic and other recreational activities were confined to the school campus
SCHOOL FARM
The school farm crops are aboveaverage and the production of grain and hay seemingly will be more than sufficient to care for all livestock and dairy feed needs The dairy herd has been enlarged and a production of more than one hundred gallons of milk per day during the next school term is anticipated This will be sufficient to care for the schools need of whole milk The swine herd has been increased and is now in good physical condition There will probably be enough fresh pork produced to fill the requirements of the school in this respect throughout the fall and winter
A wellconstructed combination potatocuring and canning plant has been erected during the year A 1000 bushel capacity model ratproof corn crib will be constructed during the fall The work on this building will largely be done by shop and agriculture boys and will be completed in time for harvest
A composite and model poultry ranch unit is now being completed while 350 growing highbred R I pullets bid fair to supply the school with sufficient fresh eggs
These improvements on the farm are not only important as food production enterprises but furnish fine mediums of instruction and practical training for the shop and vocational agriculture classes
HEALTH
The general health of the student body was good throughout the year This can in part be attributed to a wellorganized physical education program in which each pupil participated and the improved and extended attention given by the school physician nurse dentist and otologist in giving increased attention to prevention in avoiding more serious later ailments
RELIGIOUS EMPHASIS
Religious and spiritual development activities of a nonsectarian nature continued to have their place in the school program There was a Sunday School organization with student officers which met every Sunday morning in the school chapel There were wellorganized classes of deaf students in the local church schools meeting each Sunday
Once each month the entire student body attended church services alternating between the two available community churches For these services there was an interpreter provided and a contribution made in the way of a song or some other special number by the deaf segment of the congregation
In the religious and social life of the student body the local community of Cave Spring has always played a very important part

GEORGIA ACADEMY FOR THE BLIND R J Mincey Superintendent
For the year beginning September 15 1941 and operating with two weeks vacation at Christmas until June 6 1942 we had the following enrollment white school fiftyeight boys and thirtyone girls colored school twentytwo boys and eighteen girls grand total one hundred twentynine from sixtyfour counties
FACULTY
Last year we had three fulltime high school teachers and a gymnasium teacher who assisted them This year the same work was done by two high school teachers assisted by three others of the staff with a fortyfive minute period a day each in addition to their regular duties The gymnasium classes were taken over by the girls manual teacher who also taught typewriting The former third high school teacher filled a vacancy in lower grades All other teachers continued as before
SUPERVISORS
The saving in the faculty made possible a needed addition to the supervisory force The hours of dormitory home life are very important We were fortunate in securing the boys manual teacher as supervisor of the large boys Since the number of boys had so largely increased this need was more evident though in any case these young men need a man supervisor Results were very gratifying
STAFF AND AIDES
Those who served with the superintendent at the white school were ten fulltime and two parttime teachers a secretary a registered nurse a dietitian a nightwatchman three supervisors and a supervising matron The employees otherwise were a carpenter a janitorgardener a furnaceyard man three laundresses two men cooks and six maids
Those employed at the colored unit were the principal three literary teachers a manual training teacher a matron a janitor a cook a housekeeper and a housemaid
LITERARY STANDARDS
The curriculum of the eleven grades is equal to or better than that of our standard schools Small classes allowed the necessary individual attention and extra coaching was done Three boys and three girls were given senior high school diplomas
EXTRA SUBJECTS
Typewriting was taught daily to the fifth and sixth grades with full opportunity to these and higher grades to practice and prepare daily written lessons in various subjects Letters home are encouraged
The music department was under the excellent care of a director a piano teacher and a chorus teacher Chapel programs recitals radio broadcasts

Department op Public Welfare
and other outside performances were carefully prepared Our school was often asked to furnish music for church services and other community activities Every child who would cooperate took piano and later pipe organ and all learned to sing
In manual training boys and girls were taught to make things that are attractive and commercially desirable Selfreliance and selfsupport were definite aims The boys begin to earn at pianotuning and chaircaning while still in school and the girls get sale for crocheted mats and other articles Some of the State Patrol discarded suits that were sent to us were made over by the girls into tailored suits for themselves They made various other garments including new bathrobes for thirty large boys
Salesmanship and vocational guidance are taught in the literary department and definite assistance in life planning is given as well as cooperation after graduation
Four boys received vocational diplomas in piano tuning and repair and two boys were given diplomas in piano and pipe organ
LIBRARY
To the seven thousand Braille volumes reported last year seven hundred fortytwo volumes have been added We owe nothing on these books
The arrangement of books is now excellent and constant study is given to filling the childrens reading time with the best The high school teacher who has for several years had the added position of librarian prefers to use student volunteer helpers rather than a paid faculty assistant
OUTSIDE CONTACTS
Visitors are cordially received at any time and the children are glad to demonstrate their work Groups from neighboring schools and colleges have visited the school during the year The public is invited to commencement and monthly recitals and also welcomed in daily chapel where students often invite visiting speakers The superintendent speaks once a week and at other times as requested by students
A forward step this spring was the beginning of a one hundred per cent student attendance at Sunday School and morning worship in the nearby churches To facilitate this the Sunday School lesson was taught Saturday in chapel instead of Sunday morning as before Attendance of Sunday evening service was optional but a good number usually went All outside trips were planned so as to insure safety from traffic During the winter months an evening service was held in the chapel where visiting ministers or laymen spoke These services were attended by the whole student body
HEALTH
We had no epidemics or critical illness Two students were sent home for appendectomies and were returned in good condition One tonsillotomy under parental care was successful One accidental head injury was taken care of satisfactorily Aided by the constant supervision of our nurse we were able
State of Georgia
103
to limit the medical service to thirty visits and office calls including three bloodcounts and two XRays
The dental parlor installed last spring has continued its valuable contribution to the physical and mental tone of the school The dentist and his attendant served one afternoon each week and gave every child the benefit of dental skill
BUILDING AND GROUNDS
We appreciate our spacious attractive grounds and give them with their shrubbery due attention The building wisely planned so that we can live work play arrd worship under the same roof is a constant pleasure to staff and students There is good playground equipment though here as in families more could always be used
Because of the recent renovation of the buildings no repairs were necessary except such as the carpenter can do and an occasional plumbing job Paint still on hand is being used all along There is evidence of faulty work on some upstair ceilings Our gardener has taken good advantage of the favorable season for vegetables flowers and feed crops
Our plant and staff as now arranged can accommodate a good many more students Especially in the higher grades the teachers could have larger classes and there is room for more students in all the grades We appreciate the cooperation of friends including Welfare Workers who are helping this institution find those for whom it is maintained by the State Parents are usually reluctant to let a blind child leave home When a new applicant is found during the year we let him come on fit in and get started Young fingers learn Braille more easily
COLORED SCHOOL
The same type of work is done at the colored school Though their plant and enrollment are smaller the school is in excellent hands and is turning out good work
CONCLUSION
We aspire to make the coming year a continuation of the schools fine progress There is perhaps nowhere a group comparatively better informed or more interested in world affairs The students here eagerly buy war stamps and seek other ways to help patriotic enterprises
We are grateful to Governor Talmadge and his coworkers for the businesslike backing given this institution the past year

GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS Mrs Joe Pruitt Superintendent
In presenting this report the Superintendent wishes to express her appreciation of the spirit of cooperation which has existed throughout all departments of the school during the past year
The Georgia Training School for Girls was established in 1913 as a correctional institution maintained by the State for delinquent girls under eighteen years of age Girls are committed by the Juvenile City and Superior Courts They are under the jurisdiction of the school until they reach the age of twentyone years but are paroled as soon as their progress warrants it and suitable arrangements can be made for their care and protection A minimum stay of fifteen months is required in order to receive permanent benefit from commitment to the school
EDUCATION
The girls spend onehalf of each day or about 3 Vz hours at industrial work and the other half of the day is spent in the school room at academic work Much of the industrial work necessary to the operation of the institution affords a splendid opportunity for giving very practical vocational training The basis of all the vocational training is home economics Practically all the training centers around this In addition to cooking the home economics course includes serving care of dining room and table linens cleaning laundry work and sewing The girls make all the clothing that they wear as well as the curtains bed and table linens We also have looms for weaving rugs for the girls rooms All work is done under supervision at all times The supervisors give instruction and such help as is needed and inspect the work when finished The girls learn to do by doing
In arranging the school program it is necessary to remember that the school deals with children with whom the public school has failed The education they receive here must be such as will help them to overcome habits that were formed during a wayward and undisciplined childhood The school follows in the main the course outlined by the State although it is necessary to remember that our girls are with us but a short time and schedules must be planned carefully in order to give every girl as much as possible in the time that she is here A majority of the girls are retarded in their school work and have to be classified in grades much lower than their ages would indicate
The academic work extends through the eighth grade Many of the girls who enter here are incapable of advancing much further Those who are able to do more advanced work are given the opportunity to attend school after leaving here if it is at all possible The National Youth Administration has been of great assistance in making it possible for girls to continue in school
DISCIPLINE
Considering that every girl committed to the school is a child who has become such an outstanding problem in the community that the community feels unable to cope with her there are surprisingly few discipline problems Discipline is maintained largely through loss of privilege Moving picture attendance and participation in certain activities of the school are denied a girl
State op Georgia
105
who does not have a good conduct record for the week It is not necessary for many of the girls to lose these privileges Work assignments school and sewing class attendance and group recreation periods are considered privileges by the girls and they try to earn them by good conduct If it becomes necessary for any girl to have to remain in her cottage because of her misconduct she is assigned work that will enable her to continue with her training until she is able to take her usual place in classes Under no circumstances is deprivation of food used to enforce discipline Good food attractively served is conducive to good behavior Girls who fail to adjust and continue to be extreme behavior problems are found sooner or later to be psychopathic cases and should be placed in institutions equipped to fill their needs as they will in some cases require permanent custodial care
HEALTH
The general health of the school has been good Careful attention to all minor ailments has doubtless been responsible for the excellent health record of the school Many of the girls are in poor physical condition when they enter but all show marked improvement after a few weeks of nourishing meals and regular hours Physical examinations are given at entrance and at intervals throughout the girls stay here Routine tests for venereal disease and intestinal parasites are given and treatment administered where necessary Several girls have been fitted with eye glasses Dental clinics are held weekly and the equipment bought last year has made it possible for the dentist to keep all girls teeth in good condition
A class in First Aid was conducted for thirtyfive of the more advanced girls The girls were very much interested in this work and all appreciated the opportunity to prepare for emergencies that may arise
RECREATION
Daily periods of play and relaxation with outdoor activities are a pleasant break in the regular routine The girls enjoy baseball dodge ball and many other outdoor games Picnics and fish fries are held on holidays and other occasionsat least once each month Indoor activities include parties amateur programs short plays and a variety of indoor games Films for the photophone are furnished each Saturday by Atlanta branches of film companies The selection of films furnished is excellent and by far the most interesting feature of our recreational program Each cottage is supplied with a piano and a radio
RELIGIOUS TRAINING
Religious training is given a foremost place in the life of the school Devotional exercises are held daily and the main Sunday service is conducted by members of the Business Mens Evangelistic Club of Atlanta These members bring their pastors musicians from their churches and prominent religious workers to help with conducting the services The girls do a great deal of Bible memory work during the winter months
GIRLS ON PAROLE
Many of the girls marry soon after leaving the school The special emphasis placed upon the essentials of homemaking in the training given in the school is here seen to be put to immediate use
106
Department of Public Welfare
A number of those paroled have been placed where they could continue in school We had one girl to graduate from High School this spring She entered a boarding school in an adjacent state last September and graduated with honors Another of the girls has just completed a course in vocational training at one of the N Y A projects and has accepted a position in defense work Several other girls are getting along nicely with their courses and will be given positions in defense work as soon as the period of training is finished
Other girls on parole who have not been able to take enough education to qualify them for N Y A schools are working as waitresses in laundries at mill work or housework Some of those who are not of very high mentality are able to support themselves due to the training they received while at the Training School
A percentage of those committed here are unable or unwilling to overcome bad habits acquired early in life The fight against poor heredity and bad environment is not always a winning fight This group is an ever present problem here and they are also a problem when they return to the community This group represents only a small minority of the girls committed to the school
All of the buildings that are in use are in very good condition Necessary minor repairs have been made but no major repairs or alterations have been required during the year with the exception of the work done on the Dairy Barn A separate room for taking care of the milk was built and repairs made on the floors and stalls inside the barn
FARM AND GARDEN
The school grounds consist of 100 acres of land Approximately half of this is under cultivation The land is hilly and rocky upland with most of the topsoil washed off There is not a piece of level land on the place and it is not very profitable for farming The more fertile patches are used for growing vegetables in order to have them fresh for table use at the institution The balance of the land under cultivation is used for forage crops for the live stock owned by the institution
The dairy herd purchased in March is proving of great value toward furnishing a better milk supply than the school has had in many years

GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR BOYS W E Ireland Superintendent
Disturbing influences of the present world crisis have created many obstacles to the full realization of the schools program as contemplated and as partially developed at the beginning of the fiscal year which ended June 30 1942 However the steady and obvious improvement in many specific activities has reflected quite favorably upon the whole effort
There has been a gradual but constant increase in the population from 80 per cent to 100 per cent capacity 310 during the period of this report The continued increase from 150 two years ago is not considered to be due to any unusual causes Rather it is attributable largely to the reasons 1 that the school could accommodate only 150 boys prior to occupancy of the new plant 2 that closing of the Fulton County Training School for Boys in the latter part of 1940 necessitated the subsequent acceptance of all Fulton County commitments of white boys by this school and 3 that there has been a slight increase in the average length of time boys remain in the school It has not been necessary during the year just ended for any boys under commitment to the school to remain in jail longer than the time required for routine preadmission investigations etc
Both the guidance and the instruction efforts in behalf of the individual boy have been considerably improved Several fields of vocational training are now open to boys who are qualified by age interest etc to participate in shop activity A greater proportion of the pupils than ever before have received uninterrupted academic instruction A band has been organized and the progress of the boys in their music studies has been gratifying Efforts to broaden the conception of the pupils as to their social and citizenship obligations through religious education scouting supervised recreation and constructive entertainment have borne fruit that has become apparent in the general conduct attitude and spirit of the pupils as a whole
The general health of the boys has been excellent There have been no serious epidemics no serious accidents and nq deaths Oral cold and influenza vaccine was given to all pupils last winter with remarkable results All cases of coids and influenza reported were very mild with only about 3 per cent of the total population having been diagnosed as having influenza Dental care has been limited largely to those cases requiring immediate treatment due to the fact that a dentist has been obtainable only on a part time basis Dental education has been carried on through the classrooms the showing of dental pictures and lectures Eye examinations have been given a large number of boys and glasses provided for those who needed them
Every effort has been made to maintain properly the schools physical properties and to continue the development of miscellaneous but nonetheless essential facilities not provided for at the time the new plant was constructed Limited but badly needed personnel quarters have been provided through the renovation of old facilities and work has continued to progress on the construction of walks drives etc indispensable to the efficient access and utilization of the buildings

CHILD WELFARE SERVICES Loretta Chappell Supervising Consultant
The Child Welfare Section of the Division of Institutions and Childrens Services offers service to children whose maladjustment in their homes or communities is a detriment to their normal development and happiness and sometimes a detriment to the community in which they live Some of the conditions which are apt to cause harmful maladjustments are poverty or bad home conditions such as extreme ignorance mental handicap bad habits and poor adjustments etc of the parents neglect or cruelty illegitimate birth mental or physical handicap or abnormality of the child Such conditions as these as well as many more subtle causes give a child less than a normal chance for development and may cause his personality to become warped and antisocial Such a development is indicated in all types of behavior problems including delinqency incorrigibility at home or school bad habits of all kinds neurosis incipient psychosis and less serious forms of unhappiness and inadequacy in meeting lifes problems
Through the C W S Workers effort is made to discover the causes of the childs maladjustment and to correct the causes as well as to help the child to correct the resulting behavior In order to achieve results many interviews with parents teachers public officials and others who know the child or are in a position to help him as well as with the child himself are necessary The cooperation of the family and the community is needed and sought When there is any possibility of helping the child to become a happy and useful member of society in his own home every effort is made to keep him there and to work with him and his family toward that end When this is not possible however children are sometimes placed in homes of relatives in foster homes or in institutions Each case differs from every other and special training and skill are very great assets in diagnosing and treating these complex human problems
The problem of children in jail has especially concerned the Child Welfare staff which cooperates with local workers and citizens in making more constructive plans in every possible case Close cooperation is also given to the State Training Schools in making investigations for admission and plans for discharge of individual young people Superior Court Judges often turn to tfie Child Welfare staff for investigations and recommendations on cases of young people and children coming to their attention
The state is divided into seven districts and in each of these a Child Welfare Consultant with special training and experience in the childwelfare field is available to give service to the Directors of the local D P Ws on child welfare problems Much of the work therefore is done by the staffs of the local D P Ws and these staff members with the Consultants advice are encouraged to take as much responsibility as they can On account of the pressure under which the county staffs work however the Consultant takes a great deal of responsibility for the actual work as well as for consultant service and this is particularly true where the work entails separation of a child from his or her own family
Some counties of the state have participated financially through county and city funds so as to bring to their local Departments of Public Welfare a staff
State of Georgia
111
member who can give her time exclusively to child welfare problems and thus is organized a Child Welfare Unit In some cases local community chests clubs church organizations and other groups participate financially in the program and lend their invaluable support in interpreting and encouraging the work In these units the Child Welfare Worker becomes an integral part of the local D P W and can of course give much more intensive service to children than can be given by the Child Welfare Consultant The same type of problems are faced but more constructive results are achieved through more detailed and thorough work In the Child Welfare Units also problems are much more likely to be caught before reaching an acute stage and a great deal of preventive work is done In several Child Welfare Units Juvenile Courts have been organized under the stimulus of the program and the Child Welfare Worker is designated as the Juvenile Court probation officer
Counties which had a Child Welfare Worker on the staff during all or part of this fiscal year are Whitfield Dougherty Coweta Spalding Sumter Coffee Lowndes Muscogee and a combination of Tattnall Liberty Long and Evans The two lastnamed units were established in answer to special wartime needs Fort Benning being in Muscogee County and Camp Stewart in the other area
During the year the pressure of special needs emphasized by the impact of the war increased so that it became necessary to plan for a special Consultant for Care of Children in Wartime to begin work with the beginning of the next fiscal year
Consultants and Child Welfare Workers sometimes avail themselves of the services of psychologists in order to get more definite insight into a childs mental capacity or personality difficulties In the state office two Senior Consultants gave supervision to the field workers during this year and a Supervisor of Child Welfare Services in cooperation with the Chief of the Division of Institutions and Childrens Services which Division also includes State Institutions and the Crippled Childrens Section planned and gave direction to the total program
The annual plan for the Child Welfare Service program is made in cooperation with the Childrens Bureau of the U S Department of Labor and a field representative of the Childrens Bureau keeps in touch with the program and helps in all major changes and problems The program was initiated in October 1936 as a result of the passage of the Social Security Act Title V Part III This section of the act provides funds for cooperating with the states in establishing extending and strengthening especially in predominantly rural areas publicwelfare services for the protection and care of homeless dependent and neglected children and children in danger of becoming delinquent The State of Georgia participated in the financing of the program to the amount of 10 in this fiscal year All counties having a local Child Welfare Unit participated in the cost of the services and gave a special fund for the use of the Child Welfare Worker in meeting the needs of the children under care
Since the matter of separating children from their own families and placing them in foster care is a particularly serious and important phase of Child Welfare services one of the Senior Consultants who has had longtime experi

Department op Public Welfare
ence in this work gives special attention to the problem Some of the developments in this area during the past fiscal year are given below
FOSTER CARE SERVICE Institutional Care
The Child Welfare Section of the Division of Institutions and Childrens Services has the responsibility of licensing all private and local public childcaring institutions and agencies in the State It also has the responsibility of giving leadership in establishing and maintaining high standards of care and in making constructive adaptations to the changing needs of the children of the State One of the greatest needs of the program is that of a special Consultant to carry out this service of cooperation with the institutions and it is hoped that the following fiscal year will see such a Consultant added to the staff
Many of the Consultants and Child Welfare Workers were helpful to the Institutions during this fiscal year in making investigations recommendations and plans for intake and discharge of certain children who were called to their attention The Institutions themselves were of inestimable benefit to the children of the State to whom they offered care They offered very helpful cooperation to the Child Welfare staff accepting many children upon recommendation of C W S Workers
Close cooperation was maintained with the three state institutions for children the Training School for Girls Training School for Boys and Training School for Mental Defectives in making plans for acceptance of boys and girls and for their discharge back into the community Although not called upon in as many cases the two state schools for handicapped children Academy for the Blind and School for the Deaf were most cooperative when their services were called upon by Child Welfare Workers and the C W S staff in turn helped the schools in special cases of adjustment
Five state schools and institutions seven local public institutions and twentynine private institutions functioned during the fiscal year for the care of dependent handicapped or delinquent children of the State Statistics reported to the State D P W give the following number of children receiving care

Total 2829
One private institution the Toccoa Orphanage which had given service for many years closed out its program during this fiscal year The C W S staff was very helpful in making plans for the children that were in the institution when the decision to close was made
FOSTER HOME CARE
It has been difficult to develop foster home care because of lack of State funds for boarding home care Many of the counties are financially unable to
State of Georgia
113
pay for boarding home care and in addition there is great need of education through demonstration of the value of such care in individual cases by proving what such care means in the development of children for good citizenship Our greatest need is for provision for such care for predelinquent children for a training period preparatory to returning to their own families and of young infants who should be placed in well selected boarding homes in order to determine their suitability for adoption and to give their own mothers sufficient time to make the allimportant decision as to whether they feel it would be for the best interest of the children to have them placed for adoption
There are only three agencies in the State all located in Atlanta who have a well defined and extensive boarding home program They are the Child Welfare Association of Fulton and DeKalb Counties The Childrens Service Bureau of the Hebrew Orphans Home and the Child Welfare Division of Fulton Gounty Department of Public Welfare The last named agency takes only cases committed from the Fulton County Juvenile Court
The Tuttle Newton Home in Augusta and the Appleton Church Home in Macon place a minimum number of children in boarding homes but are primarily connected with the operation of the institutions themselves the bulk of the children being cared for in the Homes The Homes are small caring for approximately 21 children each
In the counties where there are child welfare workers attached to the County Department of Public Welfare it is possible to have children boarded when the need arises and the boarding home program is gradually developing
As of June 30 1942 there were 225 children being cared for in 190 substitute homes including preadoptive homes boarding homes free homes and work homes throughout the State placed and supervised by the Child Welfare Consultants and County Child Welfare Workers of the State Department of Public Welfare
The four licensed child placing agencies in the State including the Child Welfare Association of Fulton and DeKalb Counties Childrens Service Bureau of Hebrew Orphans Home Appleton Church Home and Tuttle Newton Home had under care on June 30 1942 279 children in 198 homes
The Childrens Division of Fulton County Department of Public Welfare had under care 260 children in 150 foster homes on June 30 1942
There have been some interstate placements of children from other states in adoptive homes in Georgia The carrying through of these cases shows the advisability of uniform adoption laws throughout the country particularly in relation to the changing of birth certificates to the name of the foster parents on completion of the adoption In some states there is no provision for such a change to be made which causes much embarrassment to the child and foster parents later on in life
In accordance with the adoption law effective March 27 1941 the State Department of Public Welfare has made investigations and reports to the Superior Courts on adoption cases through their Child Welfare Consultants and County Child Welfare Workers as well as through other designated agencies A table follows giving figures for the fiscal year on this phase of our work

CRIPPLED CHILDRENS SERVICES Dr L C Spencer Medical Director
The Crippled Childrens Services administered by the State Department of Public Welfare through the Division of Institutions and Childrens Services in cooperation with the United States Childrens Bureau Department of Labor is maintaining a program for the care of crippled children in Georgia designed to provide medical and nursing care and other services for crippled children whose families are financially unable to provide the necessary care through the usual channels of private medical practice
During the fiscal year 194142 definite advances in method and in services rendered were made in spite of two major difficulties which developed In the late summer of 1941 an epidemic of infantile paralysis swept the State leaving in its wake hundreds of children with residual paralyses of varying degrees of severity In all 800 cases were reported The Division of Childrens Services working in close cooperation with members of the medical profession the Department of Health the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and other agencies undertook the vitally necessary task of providing consultative and treatment services by orthopedic surgeons and other specialists for all cases during the acute stage Not only were expert diagnostic services provided but the needed splints Plaster of Paris casts braces etc were supplied and fitted by skilled specialists Home nursing services and physical therapy treatments were also given in cases where needed Children severely stricken and suffering respiratory distress were hospitalized treated in respirators and were given continuous care twentyfour hours a day by special nurses
In these complex and important undertakings the Crippled Childrens Services became the central agency around which other services rallied resulting in coordination of effort and unification of command The success and efficiency of these plans were immediately apparent relieved suffering and reduced the incidence of disabling contractures and deformities which inevitably occur in the neglected or improperly treated cases of this dreaded disease
A second difficulty resulting from our entry into the war is the withdrawal from the State of professional personnel whose services had theretofore been available in the treatment of crippled children Whereas fourteen orthopedic surgeons and one plastic surgeon had been employed by the State Agency by the end of the year only eight orthopedic surgeons were available and no plastic surgeon
It seems clear that difficulties of this kind will increase rather than diminish in fact trained personnel of all kinds will continue to become more and more difficult to find However the Division was fortunate in being able to fill all vacancies in its technical staff in the fall of 1941 and in addition to a fully qualified consultant staff consisting of a Medical Director an Orthopedic Nursing Consultant and Supervisor a Medical Social Consultant and a Physical Therapy Consultant the field staff of Orthopedic Nurses Physical Therapy Technician stenographers and clerks etc had been brought up to high standard in number and qualification
From among the many activities of the Service the following are chosen for special mention
116
Department op Public Welfare
1 Case Finding and Register
It is hoped that as time goes on every crippled person under twentyone years of age residing within the State will be reported in order that a compilation of statistics can be made Accurate information is urgently needed as to the cause of crippling the number of crippled children the number of those whose parents are financially able to give adequate care the number of those in need of care but whose parents are unable to provide it for them and lastly the number of children whose crippling conditions are not amenable to treatment and for whom only custodial care is to be recommended In order for Register of Crippled Children to be efficiently it is necessary for each person in the State to report all the crippled children he may know
2 Diagnostic Service
When crippled children have been reported they are examined by specialists an accurate diagnosis made and recommendations for treatment carried out This diagnostic service is best rendered in outpatient clinics which will be held so far as possible in various parts of the State to avoid long distance traveling by the crippled child and his attendant The loss of orthopedic specialists to the army has made it difficult to continue these clinics but the records show that a large number of children were examined and diagnosed
3 Treatment Services
The next step is to provide for the child the treatment recommended by the surgeon and other specialists by whom he may have been seen Hospital treatment was provided in Atlanta Augusta Columbus Warm Springs Macon and Savannah
In addition to facilities for hospitalization in the cities mentioned above convalescent care is available in Atlanta and Augusta The Aidmore Convalescent Home in Atlanta is operated by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and the Service purchases care on a per diem basis from the Elks under contract Those children who require the services of fully trained physical therapy technicians are sent to Atlanta or Warm Springs
4 Mechanical Apparatus
A complete brace service is available to patients under our care The needed braces splints and artificial limbs are supplied and a frequent review of the child is made in the outpatient clinic to see that the apparatus is properly fitted and effective
5 Consultant Services
Special consultations in all branches of medicine and surgery are provided when needed
6 Home Nursing Services
Through cooperative agreement with the Department of Health the public health nurses throughout the State and certain other nurses those employed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company nurses employed by municipalities and a number of nurses employed by certain industrial concerns are avail

117
able for services to crippled children in their homes In addition to attention to the childs crippling defects proper child hygiene adequate diet etc are among the items emphasized by these visiting nurses The Orthopedic Nursing Consultant and her staff of Orthopedic Nurses together with the Medical Social Consultant and Physical Therapy Consultant are always available to help the visiting nurses in solving special problems
7 Public Welfare and Child Welfare Services
The County Welfare Directors and Child Welfare Workers are available at all times for services in their respective fields They have been most helpful in arranging for transportation of patients to and from clinics and hospitals and in providing for individual needs not otherwise supplied The case work has also been their responsibility and they have been untiring in their efforts to see that all children eligible under our regulations are admitted for treatment
8 Education and Vocational Training
The education of crippled children is a matter of vital importance to their success in life The Department of Education in cooperation with the Department of Public Welfare is doing all that can be done to find ways and means to provide basic education for cripples For children who are approaching sixteen years of age there is today a rare opportunity for vocational training
Twentyone years is the age limit for acceptance for care and the crippling condition must be of a nature which in general requires treatment by an orthopedic or plastic surgeon Uncomplicated acute fractures will not be accepted nor eye defects uncomplicated by a crippling condition Both white and colored patients are accepted
Children are hospitalized in the following institutions and the statistical tables at the end of the report will give some idea of the extent of services rendered

SURPLUS COMMODITY DISTRIBUTION DIVISION W L Denton Chief
Agricultural Marketing Administration is a new name for Surplus Marketing Administration which became effective February 23 1942 upon a reorganization in the United States Department of Agriculture
The Agricultural Marketing is under the general direction of the United States Department of Agriculture Its two main purposes are 1 to assist farmers and producers in moving surplus agricultural commodities outside the normal channels of trade and commerce and encouraging domestic consumption of these commodities 2 allocating these surplus commodities to State Welfare Agencies for distribution to eligible recipients Surplus Commodities are purchased at the direction of the United States Secretary of Agriculture following a determination that a surplus problem exists and that a surplus removable program would help correct this condition
The Commodity Division is divided into five districts with principal warehouses at Atlanta Gainesville Macon Savannah and Albany Each county in the State furnishes a local warehouse for handling surplus commodities distributed within the county The State has supplied the division with thirtysix trucks which are used to move surplus commodities from carlot receiving points to the local warehouses Except for personnel the State with the cooperation of the counties pays all operating expense of the division All supervisory personnel in the State Office is paid for by the State At the beginning of 1942 the State employed five district Field Representatives to act in a supervisory capacity to the Project Through assistance of the Work Projects Administration all county and district warehouse personnel of over 600 employees receive their salaries from the WPA The annual payroll of this division including State and WPA funds amounts to around 50000000
The Agricultural Marketing Administration operates three main programs in the State namely 1 Direct District Distribution to needy families 2 The School Lunch Program and 3 The Food Stamp Plan Each family or individual who receives surplus commodities is investigated and certified to the commodity division as an eligible recipient by the County Departments of Public Welfare The County Departments of Public Welfare also receive and investigate applications for School Lunch Programs before certifying them to receive surplus commodities The Food Stamp Plan has been placed in operation during this year in Hall Telfair and Ware Counties in addition to Atlanta
Since this report was made 2 Districts have been added to the State setup with warehouses in Augusta and Marietta
State op Georgia
119
Macon Savannah Augusta Columbus and Griffin where it has been operating for some time The Stamp Plan Offices issue blue stamps semimonthly to low income families with an estimated purchasing value of 114264050
A large portion of surplus commodities received in the State during the year was distributed to the School Lunch Program which is the largest School Lunch Program in the United States The School Lunch Program embraced 5090 schools of 523273 children during the peak month which was February 1942 The sponsoring agencies and school officials cooperated splendidly in operating the school lunch programs during the year just ending and an additional increase in the school lunch program is expected for the coming year with particular emphasis being placed on the hot meal being served
The following tables will indicate the huge volume of surplus foods handled by the division during the year
GEORGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR MENTAL DEFECTIVES Dr Jno W Oden Superintendent
The Georgia Training School for Mental Defectives was opened for the reception of patients in July 1921 From the very beginning the growth has been steady and more demands for admission are now on file than we can hope to take care of within the next several years It seems most urgent that arrangements be made as early as possible to materially increase the size of the Institution A custodial department removed from the present buildings should be considered No arrangements have ever been made for the care of the negro mental defectives This should also be given consideration
Your superintendent realizes that during the present emergency it is out of the question for any buildings to be erected but he also feels that records should be made from year to year of these recommendations
Last year we had four cases of Typhoid Fever all of which made an uneventful recovery The patient population as well as the personnel have been vaccinated against all communicable diseases that it is possible for us to prevent Three deaths have occurred during the year all of whom were helpless invalids two of them having been inmates of the Institution for eight or nine years
Since the last report was made forty major operations have been performed there having been numerous minor surgical procedures for which no record is made in this report
I want to take this opportunity to express to the personnel of the Institution my very sincere appreciation for the support and assistance that they have given me and also the Board and officials of the Welfare Department for their advice and recommendations

During the year 1635 patients were received A total of 1320 patients were furloughed and 43 were discharged as not insane making a total of 1363 patients released from the institution during the year Of the patients furloughed 309 were recorded as restored or 1947 of all insane admissions 750 were recorded as improved or 4726 of all insane admissions The average recovery rate for the past threeyear period was 2226 while the improved rate for the same period was 3466
During the year 464 patients died General paralysis of the insane was the leading cause of death during the year with 64 arteriosclerosis ranked second with 60 pulmonary tuberculosis was third with 52 and bronchopneumonia and epilepsy ranked fourth with 34 each The death rate for the year was 486 of all patients treated The death rate for the previous fiveyear period was 47
Of all the admissions for the year manicdepressive psychosis and dementia praecox composed 485 This information indicates the importance of these two major psychoses in the mental disease problem
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
On account of the war situation we have been marking time so to speak insofar as making any effort toward additional building Labor is scarce and it is very difficult to get supplies of materials of practically all kinds under present conditions An attempt has been made to keep up absolutely necessary repairs and prevent deterioration but this has been the limit of our endeavors
We have reached capacity in the White Female Department and have about reached capacity in the White Male Department and we will have to meet this problem within the near future by making additional room in some way In both the Colored Male and Colored Female Department we are overcrowded at present In the Colored Male Department we have been temporizing for additional quarters by occupying some of the frame buildings that were vacated when the new buildings were occupied We have a number of buildings on the premises that might be renovated and repaired to relieve the overcrowding but on account of the trouble in obtaining material and supplies under the present situation this would be difficult
We haye managed to complete the buildings necessary for the proper operation of our dairy but in this connection it must be remembered that most of the building material was salvaged from old buildings and we were fortunate in
122
Department op Public Welfare
starting early enough on this project to get the necessary material and supplies before they were frozen
PERSONNEL
The personnel of the institution has been considerably reduced on account of some employees being inducted into the Army while others have voluntarily left us to go into the employ of the government in various defense projects In actual numbers we have practically the same in our employee population but many of our experienced workers have left us and their places have been filled with individuals of less experience We have lost some of our nurses and we are eight 8 members short in the medical staff as compared to the staff two years ago The physicians in the main have gone into the Army During the year we employed only one physician It has become increasingly difficult to secure physicians
Due acknowledgment is made for the splendid cooperation of the personnel
The hospital population is being regularly immunized against smallpox and typhoid fever We have had a good many cases of influenza at different times but the cases were mild as a rule and we did not have cases in epidemic proportions
At first glance the death rate may seem a little high but when it is considered that we get a great many patients who are feeble and who are advanced in years and are considered terminal cases the death rate does not appear unusual
DAIRY
We particularly wish to call attention to the profit and loss statement on the new dairy project for the fiscal year showing a profit of 4916895
During the month of June 1941 we were allowed an extraordinary budget consideration of 1000000 During the past fiscal year we were allowed 4764409 bringing the total to 5764409 capital investment from which we showed an operating profit of 4916895
We feel that we were particularly fortunate in starting this dairy project when we did Under present conditions it would be rather difficult to get milk in sufficient quantities and certainly not without a considerable increase in price
We have four large modern milking barns with modern equipment as to milkers cold storage etc
Our herd is being improved all of the time is tested regularly for tuberculosis and Bangs disease and promises to be one of the best investments that the institution has made

No serious epidemics occurred among the patient population during the fiscal year The usual number of cases of influenza developed during the winter months and one case of typhoid fever occurred in the early spring The State Board of Health cooperated with the Institution in an effort to discover the source of the typhoid infection Examinations of the employees of the outside dairy supplying milk to this particular patient were also negative likewise her relatives who visited her several weeks before she became ill showed nothing positive As a precautionary measure the entire patient population was given typhoid vaccine except of course the very old and feeble and the ones who had recently received the vaccine The employees were also protected
Extensive antisyphilitic treatment was continued throughout the year on the syphilitic cases both newly admitted and others already under treatment from the following year One hundred and ninetyseven 197 cases of Dementia Paralytica recently admitted to the Institution received Malarial Therapy in addition to preliminary courses of Tryparsamide

to be as effective as Insulin or Metrazol shock and has the additional advantages of being less dangerous and is looked upon with less fear by the patients as there is complete amnesia for the individual treatments This method of therapy is especially beneficial in the agitated depressions and in certain cases of psychoneurosis
All available space in the new buildings has now been utilized and with an increase in the patient population of 334 over that of the previous year serious congestion is rapidly developing on most of the wards at the Institution Many of the wards are carrying twice the number of patients for which they were originally designed Despite the fact that material is scarce and money not readily available for construction something must be undertaken soon to provide more space
One new member was added to the Medical Staff during the year and one Assistant Physician resigned to go into private practice At present the staff has eight members less than it had two years ago and will probably lose two more Physicians This is putting a heavy burden on the medical group
The same thing is also taking place among the personnel of the Institution especially those in the medical department Many nurses and attendants have taken betterpaying positions with the various defense agencies or have been drafted into the military forces It is almost impossible to replace many of these employees and it will at best take months even years to train new inexperienced employees to take their places
The Medical Staff provided clinics and conducted lectures for many classes throughout the school year Classes from the University of Georgia Emory University Medical Department University of Georgia Georgia State College for Women Agnes Scott College Wesleyan College and several schools of Nursing visited the Institution and received instruction in Neuropsychiatry
Statistical tables covering the movement of the patient population diagnosis therapy etc are attached
Acknowledgment is hereby made to the Medical Staff for faithful cooperation and all credit for the successful operation of the Medical Department is also given

were installed floors were repaired or relaid overworked steam tunnels and repaired pipe lines installed new toilets plastering was replaced where needed a new beauty shop was equipped canning plant was overhauled throughout grading around new buildings was completed 150000 board feet of pine and hardwood lumber was cut from State owned land and other items of repair and upkeep of property too numerous to itemize
All large electric motors have been scheduled for operation so as to keep our electrical load as near constant as possible which has resulted in lowering the unit cost of our electricity by reducing the demand charge
A perpetual method of stock keeping has been installed in the Engineering Department whereby receipts are taken for all materials removed from the stock room and making it possible to know at all times the stock on hand of any item This system has resulted in less waste because of failure to return material not used without some check being made which is now the case

ATLANTA GEORGIA December 1 1942
His Excellency
Honorable Eugene Talmadg
Governor State of Georgia Atlanta Georgia
Dear Sir
I am submitting herewith my annual report and my recommendations and suggestions as required by the Welfare Acts of 1937
Under those Acts we have many extraordinary duties to perform notwithstanding the object of our creation was mainly to render public assistance to the aged the blind and dependent children
The following State Eleemosynary Institutions were also put under our jurisdiction and management and control
Milledgeville State Hospital Georgia Training School for Boys Georgia Training School for Mental Defectives Georgia Academy for the Blind Georgia School for the Deaf Georgia Training School for Girls also the Confederate Soldiers Home
Prior to these Welfare Acts these institutions were under a Board of Control of Eleemosynary Institutions created and established by the Legislature in 1931 approved August 28 1931
I assumed my duties as State Welfare Director on January 14 1941
I am first giving you a statement of the number of persons who were employed in the State Department on January 1 1941 the number of those same employees who are here now and the number who for various reasons are not here now as follows
Employees in State Office on January 1 1941 176
Still employed on November 20 1942 36
Not here former State Director 1
Written resignations to accept better positions 44
Written resignations no reason given 37

Released by State Department of Public Welfare 23
Absent military and educational leave10
Temporary employment only jgfJL 8

Next I am giving you an analysis of the County Welfare Directors in the
159 counties as follows
Employed January 1 1941 in County Welfare Depts 158
Some Directors still employed November 20 1942102
Written resignations to accept better positions 26

Only one county did not have a Welfare Director on January 1 1941
I am not itemizing the other employees in the County Welfare Departments because they run in about the same proportion as the County Welfare Directors
The following is the total number of employees in both State and County Welfare Departments on January 1 1941 and November 20 1942
Aggregate number on January lr 1941 927
Aggregate number on November 20 1942 836
Decrease since January 1 1941 91
All employees are included in this 836 all executive and administrative officers in all State and County Welfare offices as well as all other employees
Attached hereto is a list by counties of the number of old age recipients in January 1941 and November 1942
The increase from January 1941 to November 1942 was 7068 or 29335
Largest increase was 22888 in Lowndes County smallest 1479 in Lee County
Chattahoochee County alone showed a decrease due to the fact that most of that county has been added to the Fort Benning Reservation
The amount of money required to take care of our public assistance program which includes old age people the blind and dependent children is a tremendous sum a heavy load for the State under present conditions
Runs annually into millions as shown by the following figures
Annual payments to the aged the blind and dependent children based on November 1942
recipients aggregate 423749340
Administration costs and grants to counties based on this quarters budget 71064000
Total I 494813340
These 494813340 are State funds only
Included in this 494813340 are traveling expenses of all employees both State and County incurred in the discharge of their official duties on our program
Right here may I state that my own expenses including travel and all other expenses during my tenure of office now nearly two years aggregate 14660 or 6785 for the year 1941 and 7875 for the year 1942
4
No other expenses whatever were incurred except two trips to Washington D C on official business with the Federal Social Security Board and one trip to Chicago for conference with Honorable Paul V McNutt Social Security Administrator and the State Directors of the other fortyseven States of the Union as hereinafter explained
Number of Old Age Recipients on the Pension Rolls in November 1942 70841
More to be added this month more next month Both will be above the monthly average due to public announcement that money was available for all old
age eligibles
Additions to Old Age Pension Rolls since the close of the fiscal year on June 30 1942 are 5565 made up as follows
Applications pending June 30 1942u 14138
Applications received in July 19424 1195
Applications received in August 1942 1172
Applications received in September 1942 2036
Applications received in October 1942 1634
20175
Approved for payment 5565
Denied or otherwise disposed of 3361 8926
Net applications still pending October 31 1942 11249
July August September and October 1942 were far above the average number of applications After December of this year the average will greatly decrease I do not believe there will be over 500 or 600 per month I believe the peak in old age applications has already been reached or will be in the very near future
Death is always knocking knocking knocking at the door of these old age people
In 1941 deaths and other causes removed 5240 and 6179 in 1942 This was an increase in removals of 936 in one year which will become greater with the passing years 11419 in two years
Six million dollars annually of State funds it would seem will in a very short while be needed to take care of these recipientsthe aged the blind and dependent children
Preference has been given by us to the old age people on account of the very large number of applications pending and to the blind Dependent children have been given preference in emergency cases only More attention should be given to dependent children in the future
It would have required additional millions to take care of all dependent children
The financial load has more than doubled since 1940 as shown by the following
Payments to the Old Age People the Blind and Dependent Children Federal State and County Funds
For fiscal year ending June 30 1942 747343500
For fiscal year ending June 30 1941 532871050
For fiscal year ending June 30 1940 345587450
5
The 1942 increase over 1941 is 402 and over 1940 is 1162
Overhead costs including County Welfare Departments are as follows
For fiscal year ending June 30 1942 86 of above payments
For fiscal year ending June 30 19411228 of above payments
For fiscal year ending June 30 19401545 of above payments
I repeat that on the present basis of November 1942 494813340 of State
funds is now required annually for public assistance payments and that six million will in my judgment be necessary in the very near future
Average monthly payments to recipients as of June 30 1942 are as follows
To Old Age People 886
To the Blind 1158
To Dependent Children 923
The detailed reports of the heads of the different Divisions of this Department constitute of course part and parcel of my report All of these reports show excellent work discharged by each Division Head with outstanding ability They contain useful and valuable information for the public
For your further information this Department has signed an agreement with the Social Security Board under which this Department is to act as the agent of that Board in this State in the administration of the Civilian War Assistance program Under this agreement funds are to be advanced to this Department upon the Departments request for carrying out the purposes of the Civilian War Assistance program It is also a definite part of the agreement that the State shall incur no liability whatever in any manner shape or form in the operation of that program
We have made progress already A regional conference was held on November 2425 last at the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta This conference was attended by the State Welfare Directors and Commissioners and their assistants and representatives of the Social Security Board v
The Seventh Regional District is composed of Georgia Florida Alabama Mississippi South Carolina and Tennessee
On October 1 1942 the Regional offices of the Social Security Board transferred from Birmingham Alabama to Atlanta where they are now located
All these States were represented at the conference which was presided over by Mr Dayton H Frost Regional Representative of the Social Security Board
Miss Jane Hoey Director of the Division of Public Assistance of the Social Security Board of Washington D C an outstanding woman in the field of Public Welfare was also present Under her direction some five hundred millions of federal funds are annually distributed to the needy aged blind and dependent children
The President has already allocated to this War Assistance program five million dollars from tjtie Emergency Fund for the President to be expended through the Georgia State Department of Public Welfare and similar agencies of the other States
RECOMMENDATIONS
Under the Welfare Act approved February 26 1937 the State Department of Public Welfare was empowered with authority to create and establish a board of trustees for the Milledgeville State Hospital and any other elemosynary institution of the State with general representation from each Congressional
6
District of the State on any board which may be established such board or boards to be empowered with duties and authority delegated to them by the State Department and to function under the direction of the State Department such board or boards in the discretion of the State Department to be established whenever and wherever practicable and advisable for the operation of such institution or institutions
Our predecessors never exercised this authority nor have we as their successors
I recommend that this section of the Welfare Act be amended and in lieu thereof the State Board of Public Welfare be enlarged to eleven members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate One from the State at large and one from each Congressional District with the Governor as an exofficio member of the Board
That the term of office for each of the ten members from the several Congressional Districts shall be as follows Two for a term of two years four for a term of four years and four for a term of six years and the member from the State at large to serve at the pleasure of the Governor The members shall receive no compensation for their services other than their traveling and other expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties and it shall be provided that no elected officer of the State or any subdivision thereof shall be eligible for such appointment and that in case of the death or resignation of any member of the board the Governor shall fill such unexpired term by appointment subject to confirmation by the Senate The Board shall elect one of its members as Chairman of the Board
I recommend that the State Welfare Director be appointed by this Board to serve at the pleasure of the Board and that he be required to give bond for the faithful performance of his duties and the faithful accounting of all moneys coming into his hands as such Director in such a manner and under such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by law and provided by the Board such Director to serve as the executive and administrative officer No elected officer shall be eligible
I recommend that the State Director of Public Welfare appoint the superintendents of the several eleemosynary institutions under the jurisdiction of the State Board subject to the approval of the State Board and I further recommend that said superintendents of the several eleemosynary institutions shall appoint their own employees under a merit system of employment with the approval of the State Director All dismissals shall be in writing and shall state specifically the reason for the dismissal Any employee dismissed by a superintendent shall have the right of appeal to the State Director And it shall be the duty of the State Director or his assistant to hear the appeal and pass upon the merits of the case
I recommend that the Welfare Act be amended so as to provide that the members of the County Boards of Public Welfare shall be elected by the Grand Juries of their counties and that no elected officer of the State or any subdivision thereof shall be eligible for such election or appointment
Interim vacancies until the next regular session of the grand jury if not in session at the time the vacancy occurs may be filled by the State Director or by the Judge of the Superior Court of the Circuit in which the county is located
All vacancies except said interim vacancies caused by death resignation
7
removal or otherwise before the expiration of such term and for the residue of such term only shall be filled by the Grand Juries in the same manner as original appointments
I recommend that the Act approved March 27 1941 Ga Laws 1941 Page 486 be amended by striking therefrom Section 3 of that Act for the reason that it is in direct conflict with the Federal Social Security Act relating to the establishment and maintenance of personnel standards on a merit basis Under the Federal Social Security Act the State Director is invested with full power and authority to act in the matter of dismissals and suspensions of all employees in both State and County Welfare Departments which procedure I understand prevails uniformly in the other States of the Union
The Social Security Act provides that a state plan must effective July 1 1941 provide safeguards which restrict the use or disclosure of information concerning applicants and recipients to purposes directly connected with the administration of Old Age Assistance Aid to Dependent Children and Aid to the Blind
I recommend that in pursuance of this Federal Act thq General Assembly of Georgia be requested to enact suitable legislation to protect the confidential character of all such public assistance records My information is that the other 47 States have already met the requirements of the Federal Act
In my annual report covering the fiscal year ending June 30 1941 I stated that the Social Security Act should be amended so as to equalize federal grants to old age recipients in every State of the Union
I did not then know that such an amendment had been recommended by President Roosevelt in his message to Congress of January 16 1939
Nor did I then know that the Social Security Board itself favored it in its report to the President
Nor of its approval by the Advisory Council of the Social Security Board
It was favored by Senator George by Senator Connally and other Senators as shown by their support of what is known as the Connally Amendment which was passed by the Senate
The following are examples of rank discrimination in the payment of federal funds to old age people
California receives from federal funds for each recipient per month 1900
Georgia yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 410
Massachusetts yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 1450
Mississippi yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 430
New York yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 1245
Virginia yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 497
Pennsylvania yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 1100
Delaware yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 550
Connecticut yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 1398
Texas yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 688
Hawaii yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 648
Arkansas yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy yy 393
These federal funds are matched by the States on a 5050 basis which
8
means that Georgia recipients at that time in 1941 were receiving an average of only 820 per month as against Californias 3800 Pennsylvanias 2200 Massachusetts 2900 Connecticuts 2796 New Yorks 2490 and Hawaiis 1296
Why should the Federal Government pay an old age recipient more in one State than in another State
In other words the Government says to a recipient in Georgia I will pay you 410 but if you move to California that same recipient I will pay you 1900 If entitled to 1900 in California it should be 1900 in Georgia
The Social Security Act should be so amended as to federal funds to bring the recipients in the lower brackets up and the recipients in the higher brackets down to a common level which would not increase the federal appropriation one dime but each and every recipient in whatever state he might live would then receive exactly the same amount from federal funds and grants to Georgias recipients would in that event be nearly doubled Instead of an average of 820 per month it would be approximately 1700 to 1800 per month
My trip to Chicago related to legislation now pending before the Finance Committee of the United States Senate which if enacted would not only nearly double the old age pensions in Georgia but would bring relief to thousands of eligibles who cannot now qualify and would bring general relief to those in need in this State who are now in the depths of want poverty and suffering for which no provision is now made by the State
The counties of Georgia are not financially able to make adequate provision for these thousands of deserving people General relief is the crying and distressing need of the State
Senate Bill No 2270 by Senator Greene of Rhode Island in its original form provided for grants to the States for general relief on a 5050 basis which I opposed at the Chicago conference but agreed to support if amended so as to read variable grantsthat is grants based on the financial ability of the States to match My information is that Senator Greene has agreed to accept that amendment I agreed myself to appear before the Finance Committee of the Senate in advocacy of the bill as amended when set for a public hearing
I also agreed to appear before the same Committee in advocacy of a bill to amend the Social Security Act so as to equalize federal grants to the old age people in all the States of the Union
The Connally Bill matches all old age pensions 2 to 1 up to 1500 and 5050 above 1500 up to 4000
One or the other of these amendments should pass should in fact have been law long ago because the discrimination among the different states is fundamentally wrong
I recommend that this be brought to the attention of the next General Assembly in the hope that it will pass a Resolution memorializing the Congress and our Senators and Representatives especially to actively support and advocate such amendments
Realizing the very great importance of such legislation to the State and especially to the counties the Association of County Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of the 159 counties of the State at its recent annual convention
9
in Savannah unanimously adopted a resolution requesting our Senators and Representatives in Congress to give their active support and advocacy to the above amendments with instructions to its secretary to mail to each of them a copy of the resolution
These amendments these benedictions enacted into law by Congress would mean a better and brighter and happier dayeverlasting sunshinein the lives of the old and needy people of Georgia
