REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF PUBLIC CHARITIES
FOR THE YEAR 1910.

THE CAPITOL,
RALEIGH, N. C., December 27, 1910.

MR. W. A. BLAIR, Chairman, and MESSRS. CAREY J. HUNTER, A. C. MCALISTER, HENRY C. DOCKERY AND JOSEPH G. BROWN, Commissioners.

GENTLEMEN:--I have the honor to present the following report of the condition and management of the charitable and penal institutions of the State for the year 1910.

The voluntary reports of the eleemosynary institutions supported by county and municipal aid and by private charity are also included for the general information of our citizens.

The law requires of the Board an annual report to the Governor and a biennial to the General Assembly. For convenience and for dispatch in getting the report quickly to the public and in printed form, it has been published in two parts, one for 1909 and one for 1910, but they should be considered together as the two constitute the biennial report to the Legislature.

The needs of the several State institutions and of improved general policies for county institutions are fully discussed in part first and are followed by these recommendations which we repeat here, desiring to emphasize them, and to ask their earnest consideration by the lawmakers.

RECAPITULATION OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS.

1. A building for the observation and treatment of acute and recent cases at the Morganton Hospital, cost $50,000.

2. Additional room for patients at the Goldsboro Hospital. Better fire protection, renewed flooring in some of the wards, and an officers' dining room. (Since the above was recommended the Goldsboro Hospital has built the dining room from proceeds of surplus farm products.)

Page 6

3. The establishment of an epileptic village with buildings for the feeble-minded and idiots, entirely separate from any existing institution.

4. A special appropriation not exceeding $500 per annum for the services of a specialist to examine the throat, ears, eyes and nose of newly admitted pupils at the School for the Deaf, Morganton.

5. New and permanent sleeping quarters and dining room at the Tillery Farm. Better arrangements for fire protection, bathing facilities and sewerage. (Improvements have been made during 1910 in sleeping quarters, bathing facilities and sewerage.)

6. Place the county convict camps under a State Board of Supervisors.

7. Liberal support to the Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Soldiers' Home and Stonewall Jackson Training School.

8. Appropriation and Directors on the part of the State for the Colored Reform School, chartered by the Assembly of 1909.

9. Cultivation of more acreage at the County Homes and more land for these Homes deficient in this respect.

10. Temporary aid only to the county poor in their own homes (outdoor relief) as far as possible, to prevent pauperization, and to spend this money now used for outdoor relief to adequately equip the County Homes.

11. That the Board of Public Charities be authorized to employ an inspector to visit the several county charitable and penal institutions and make detailed reports.

12. That the laws in regard to voluntary commitment of patients and those relating to private licensed hospitals be amended.

13. A law looking toward the prevention of blindness from ophthalmia neonatorum (in co-operation with the State Board of Health and the Superintendent of the School for the Blind).

14. That institutions hereafter established for the care of helpless children be not chartered or allowed to receive children except upon certificate from the Board of Public Charities after a thorough investigation as to means of support and reliability of the person or persons desiring to establish such institution.

Page 7

15. State Camp for all tuberculous prisoners (From State's Prison, camps and jails).

16. Change the end of the fiscal year from November 30 to an earlier date. (To give sufficient time for preparation and printing of biennial reports for the Assembly.)

17. A suggestion for private philanthropy; the establishment of a ward or of a hospital for the treatment of crippled and congenitally deformed and diseased children such as are now successfully treated in the orthopædic hospitals.

INSANE, EPILEPTIC AND FEEBLE-MINDED.

Special attention is again called to the need of more room for epileptics (most decidedly a separate institution for them). To the want of room for women at the Raleigh Hospital and the pressing need of more room at the Goldsboro Hospital.

There is no provision for idiots no matter how dangerous they may be and notwithstanding the declared policy of the State in the law for care "of all mental defectives." A number of letters have come to this office asking for some place to properly care for the idiots and feeble-minded. Most especially should the feeble-minded women be provided for, and guarded against the unmentionable horrors which some have undergone, entailing money loss to the counties and suffering and weakness to their unfortunate progeny who can not hope to be anything but feeble-minded and dependent upon the counties for support.

PROPER EQUIPMENT FOR INSTITUTIONS.

Our Hospitals and some of the other institutions fail in their highest usefulness for the want of the necessary equipment and expert help. There should be receiving buildings at the hospitals for the new and acute cases where patients could have the advantage of close study and the latest medical knowledge be made available through special pathological examinations, laboratory work, baths, etc.

The physical condition of our hospitals is fine, the foundations are excellent for good results and the small added expenditure of this special medical and research work is the capstone

Page 8

to the institution. It means more cures and quick cures and a money saving expenditure. To properly equip the institutions for the medical care of the patients is the greatest present need. This should be done at all the hospitals, but the special recommendation has been made and is most earnestly repeated that $50,000 be appropriated for the Hospital at Morganton for such a building. The Morganton Hospital has a capacity of 1,250 beds and yet this need for special medical treatment can only be partially met and in scattered wards.

INCREASED MAINTENANCE FOR INSTITUTIONS.

It is "penny wise and pound foolish" to have expensive buildings closed for want of furniture and equipment, and beds empty for want of support fund when the afflicted are clamoring for admission and the room has already been made for them.

The annual support fund for the charitable institutions last year was $545,000 (not including the $5,000 for support of the Dangerous Insane Department which is maintained by the State's Prison). This year the amount asked for by the officials in charge to fill the rooms now available is $685,750, an increase of $140,750 per annum for maintenance.

The normal capacity of all the charitable institutions is 4,812; if we take from this number the available beds at the two orphanages (525) and the Dangerous Insane Department (70) we have left for the other institutions 4,197. Taking out the $15,000, the annual amount given the two orphanages, there will be needed for the other institutions the sum of $670,750 for maintenance. This gives an average per capita of only $159.81, which is low compared with many States. To get the utmost good of the enormous sums invested in these plants we should certainly supply adequate support to fill them and also the necessary equipment to quickly cure or improve so the inmates may return to their homes and cease to be a burden to the taxpayer. (Tables follow giving the amounts asked for by each institution.) There is indebtedness to the amount of $21,744.05 which would have to be added to the above amount. The needs for special appropriations are given in the reports of the Superintendents which follow this summary.

MEETING OF THE AMERICAN PRISON ASSOCIATION AND THE INTERNATIONAL
PRISON CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON, D. C., OCTOBER
2 TO 8.

The Secretary was appointed a delegate by Governor W. W. Kitchin to the Prison Association meeting and she attended the deliberations of that most notable body. The two societies met at the same time and place. The International meets once in five years and this was its first session in America. The next will be held in London by invitation of that world power. Thirty-nine countries were represented, delegates having come from China, Japan, Africa and far distant lands.

The Congress was divided into committees who met each morning and discussed a series of prepared questions, the consensus of opinions being crystallized into resolutions which were submitted to the General Assembly each afternoon and finally adopted as the opinions of the Congress. French and English were the official languages and everything was translated from one to the other. The following subjects were discussed, "Juvenile Offenders," "Idle and Vagabond Children," "Children Born out of Wedlock," "Probation," "Release on Parole," "The Indeterminate Sentence," "The Criminal Abroad," "Complicity in Crime."

(The conclusions of the Congress will be found as an appendix to this report.)

It must be remembered that the conclusions are the unanimous opinions of the representatives of thirty-nine countries of varying codes and civilizations. We would call attention to the conclusion on

RELEASE ON PAROLE.

"Accepting the principle of conditional liberation on parole as an indispensable aid to the reformation of the prisoner, the Congress approves of the following resolutions:

1. Conditional release should be given not by favor, but in accordance with definite rules. Prisoners of all classes, including workhouse prisoners, should be eligible for conditional release after serving for a definite minimum period.

2. Conditional liberation should be given on the recommendation of a properly constituted board, but reserving always the control of government. This board should have the power of recalling the prisoner in case of unsatisfactory conduct.

Page 10

3. The duty of caring for conditionally liberated prisoners should be undertaken by State agents, specially approved associations, or individuals who will undertake to befriend and supervise them and to report on their conduct for a sufficiently long period.

4. Where the ordinary rules for parole are not applicable to life prisoners, their cases should be dealt with by the supreme government as a matter of clemency."

We have the conditional release law, but the burden of its execution falls upon the Governor of the State. He should be relieved of this by appointing the prison board of directors to serve also as a parole board and every prisoner except life prisoners, should have the benefit of the release after serving the minimum sentence and showing by good conduct and otherwise their readiness to be so trusted. Of course, the pardoning power of the Governor would still remain and he would be the final arbiter in all cases. This would give every prisoner an even chance for liberty, when he had shown himself capable of becoming a useful citizen. But there should certainly be a State agent or special official to see that the paroled men keep their parole and that the public be protected by summarily remanding them to prison when parole is violated.

COUNTY HOMES.

(Commissioners' Reports.)

The following seven counties do not maintain Homes for the Aged and Infirm but give outdoor relief: Carteret, Clay, Currituck, Graham, Lee, Mitchell, and Onslow.

Fifty-four counties give as present at time of report: Whites, 453; colored, 254; color not given, 33; total, 740. Twelve additional counties from the Visitors' reports give in sixty-six county homes, 932. Of these, insane, 59; epileptic, 66; feebleminded, 225; total mental defectives, 350. Confined, 28.

Died during the year, 204.

Childen in charge, 31; most of these infants.

As there are ninety-eight counties and ninety-one maintaining Homes, this leaves one-fourth not reporting the number cared for and only two-thirds have reported the cost of county poor.

Page 11

Cared for in the County Homes (Commissioners' reports only), 740, at a cost of $60,002.30. Outdoor relief to 2,356 persons at a cost of $52,652.19; grand total, $112,654.49.

The farms add materially to the support of the Homes and are not included in the reports.

New sites purchased in Ashe and Haywood. Jones is building. Caswell, Granville, New Hanover and Vance have been improved. Lincoln, Madison and Tyrrell have erected new buildings.

The Homes are inferior in Davie, Cabarrus, Iredell, Transylvania, Wilson, Yadkin, Yancey.

Attention is called to part first of this report in regard to the growing amount of outdoor relief at the expense of properly and adequately equipped Homes.

COUNTY PRISONS.

(Commissioners' Reports.)

Commissioners have reported sixty-two jails. Present at time of report: White men, 75; colored men, 194; white women, 9; colored women, 28; total, 306. Sixteen additional counties taken from Visitors' reports, making seventy-eight counties, increase the above sum to 107 white men; 261 colored men; grand total, 368. Insane confined, 12.

Prisoners died during the year, 6. Boys under sixteen, 16.

Generally speaking, the prisons are not kept in as cleanly a condition as they should be. The bedding and cells more particularly should be especially cleansed whenever not occupied and ready for the next comer. The great difficulty is the fact that prisoners wear their own old clothing into the jail and thus introduce dirt and vermin which require a continual fight from those in charge. A limited number of suits could be provided by the county and the men required to bathe and put these on while their own are fumigated. There is no excuse for the filth in some of our jails. Cleveland, Gaston and New Hanover jails are too small. Anson, Burke, Cabarrus, Clay and Mecklenburg are inferior buildings. Dare, Iredell and Perquimans are new. Rockingham and Richmond are building. Those of Pitt and Camden were burned during the year, but plans are under way for new jails.

Page 12

COUNTY CAMPS.

There are forty counties which maintain camps, some of these more than one. Twenty-one Commissioners' reports have been received and four are added from the Visitors' reports, making twenty-five camps, reporting as follows: White men, 100; colored men, 738; colored women, 2; total, 840. Ten boys under sixteen. Died during the year, 10. Several of these were shot or accidentally killed.

(Recommendations for camps will be found in part first, report of 1909. Later figures give total No. 1383. See page 39.)

MEETINGS AND INSPECTIONS.

The four regular meetings of the Board have been held, three in Raleigh and one at Greensboro. The one at Greensboro was held at the same time as the annual meeting of the State Anti-Tuberculosis Society so the members might participate in the deliberations of that body. Tuberculosis is a house disease and the problem of the care of cases and the prevention of infection of the well arises in all institutions. Careful examination for this disease should be made of all inmates in the institutions and those afflicted segregated.

Inspections have been made during 1910 of the Hospital and Epileptic Colony at Raleigh, Dangerous Insane Department and Penitentiary, School for the Blind and the Department for Colored Blind and Deaf, Soldiers' Home, Stonewall Jackson Training School, Sanatorium for Treatment of Tuberculosis, the Tarheel and Elkin Railroad Camps, Williams' Private Sanatorium, and Telfair Institute. All the institutions except the Goldsboro Hospital and the two orphanages at Oxford have been visited during the biennium. All licensed hospitals except Dr. McKanna's. The jails of Cabarrus, Guilford and Mecklenburg, the Guilford Workhouse for Women and Boys, and the County Homes of Guilford and Wake. Also Watts' Hospital has been visited by one of the Commissioners.

GENERAL WORK OF THE OFFICE.

The details of the work can be found in the monthly reports to the Chairman and the quarterly reports to the Board which are on file in the office. The work includes sending out

Page 13

blanks, preparation of inquiries, statistics and reports, and correspondence with most of the States as well as our own citizens.

We have many requests for reports, statistics and copies of laws.

Many special cases arise during the year which must be met, but the details take too much space to be enumerated here.

BOARDS OF VISITORS.

To the Boards of County Visitors we extend our thanks and appreciation of their self-sacrificing helpfulness in their care of the county institutions.

A WORD OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Thanks are due the Governor and State officials for their aid. To the superintendents of the institutions for their cordial attitude towards the Board.

With personal thanks of the Secretary to the Commissioners for their unvarying courtesy and kindness.

Respectfully,

DAISY DENSON,
Secretary.

Adopted by the Board December 27, 1910.

Chairman Pro tem.

Per capita cost, $160.37. Estimated net value of farm and dairy products, $29,014.39. There is no outstanding indebtedness. Thirty pay or part-pay patients. We have sufficient room for the immediate future if idiots and extreme senile cases are rejected. Our most urgent need is a receiving department properly equipped with modern appliances for the treatment of mental diseases. 90 to 95 per cent are chronic cases. Twenty-five have been refused admission; they were idiots, epileptics, not citizens, criminal, and others were senile cases. No room at the Epileptic Colony, and the epileptics in the Hospital have not been transferred. There are 37 patients from the Eastern District. Percentage of mortality upon the whole number in charge was 4.9 per cent. Cures upon admissions, 27.7 per cent. No case of suicide. General health has been very good. Four cases of pellagra, sick when admitted. One ward is set apart for sick patients. There is an operating

Page 17

room. Original work is done. A complete physical and mental examination is made upon admission, and special examination for tuberculosis. Four cases of tuberculosis. They are kept separate from others where practicable. Seven to eight hundred are employed. We have special crafts taught the women. A few books have been added to the library, and a small sum could be well expended for this purpose. There are 41 male and 52 female attendants. Attendants are selected for general fitness, certain educational requirements, and recommendations. We can not get an altogether desirable class for the wages now paid.

Percentage of mortality upon the whole number treated, 4+. Cures upon admissions, 69 per cent. Patients from the Western District, 26. Pay and part-pay patients, 22. Amount received from patients for the year, $6,896.13. Ninety per cent of the cases are chronic. Sixty applications have been refused for following causes: old age, idiots, imbeciles, paralytics, drug and inebriates, not insane, and for want of room in the female wards. The epileptics in the Hospital have not been transferred to the Colony. There are 14 men and 7 women. There was no room for them in the Colony. There have been three cases of suicide--one man and two women. Coroner was called at once and necessary permit given. Some of the new buildings have not yet been occupied. The wards for tuberculous patients have not been occupied because window guards must be supplied. General health of the patients is good. We have no infirmary for sick patients to amount to anything; no operating room. Tubercular wards for both sexes. No original research work done, and only the physical examination made. No special or rigid examination for tuberculosis. We have five women with the disease. Sixty cases of pellagra. There are 350 patients working in the garden, laundry, sewing, knitting, and helping to keep the wards in order. No books added this year. No special arts or crafts taught the women. Twenty-one escapes. There are 31 male and 25 female attendants. These are selected by letter of testimonial of good moral character. Attendants do have opportunities for treating patients roughly without the knowledge of the superintendent. We have not sufficient room for the women.

Receipts, $115,000.00. Disbursements, $140,760.30. Outstanding indebtedness, $7,266.61. Per capita cost, $176.46. Estimated net value of farm and dairy, $29,280.77. We will need for support for each year of the next biennial period, 1911-1912, $183,750.00.

The first patient was admitted to the Colony on December 29, 1909, from Wilkes County. The buildings were not completed at that time. No epileptics have been transferred from the two Hospitals as yet. General health of the patients has been good; mental condition has been bad. Fifty have been refused admission, as follows: paralytics, old age, not epileptic. Some refused to come. On file, 126 applications. We have some applications on file because the counties have more than their proportional quota and we are holding these back to give other counties an opportunity, as the number of rooms is limited. Eight attendants. Five employees. No special medical research work or investigation of phases of epilepsy. Chiefly custodial. The patients work on the farm, and the women sew and knit. Walking and games for recreation. Adequate heat, light and water supply. Sufficient fire protection. Insurance. Receipts have been $17,234.80. Disbursements, $19,995.60. Outstanding indebtedness, $2,750.80. Per capita cost, $196.035. No religious services. Chapel, amusement hall and laboratory are the special needs. It would be better to place the children in separate cottages. No serious accident or epidemic.

The extraordinary expenses were paid with proceeds of cotton raised on the farm. This includes a building to be used for dining room, sewing room and steward's office.

Percentage of mortality upon whole number treated was 9.52. Percentage of cures upon admissions, 31.77. No pay patients. Ninety-three per cent are chronic cases. Thirty-five have been refused for want of room. Applications on file, 81. There are 52 epileptics and some idiots and feeble-minded. No epidemic or serious accident. No case of suicide. General health of the patients is fairly good. There are wards set apart for the sick, and there is an operating room. No original research work done. A general examination upon admission, but no special examination for tuberculosis. There are 29 cases of tuberculosis, some of them arrested cases. They are separated from others by day as well as in their sleeping quarters. Nearly half of the patients are employed. They work on the farm, cut wood, in the laundry, kitchen, sewing room, and ward work. Ten cases of pellagra. Though not well marked, two-thirds of the cases had it upon admission. Several escapes, though all have been returned except two. Male attendants, 24; female attendants, 32. These are chosen from applicants. It is difficult to get desirable attendants. There are opportunities for attendants to ill-treat patients, because they are in charge of the attendants; but if patients are cruelly treated it is generally found out.

We will need $87,000.00 per annum for maintenance during the coming biennium. We need additional room for both the insane and the epileptic insane, fire escapes, renewed flooring in some of the old buildings, and additional heating coils for two buildings not sufficiently heated.

JAMES E. BROOKS, M.D., Superintendent.

W. R. ENGEL, M.D., Assistant Physician.

The Sanatorium is most beautifully situated eight miles from Aberdeen, on the Aberdeen and Rockfish Railroad. Thirteen hundred acres of high, sandy land and also fertile acres for the farm, about fifty acres being in cultivation. Two deep wells, 210 and 214 feet, give good supply of fine water. Sewerage and electricity. Open fires.

There are two nurses and one attendant. Patients are charged one dollar per day, which is half of the expense of care. No charity patients taken. Some applications have been refused because of poverty and of the advanced stage of the disease.

Six buildings have been completed, and the dining room and kitchen building is now in course of construction. These buildings are all frame and inexpensive, and exit is easily made in case of fire, but no special arrangement for checking fire except the distance between the cottages.

Receipts from patients have been $5,314.10, and this has been expended. No outstanding indebtedness. The per capita cost of maintaining

Page 22

a patient for a year is $636.00, but it must be borne in mind that the average stay of a patient is 56 days, and therefore this yearly per capita serves for the training in self-care of six persons. We will need $15,000 per annum for support and $10,000 per annum for the development of the institution for the next two years.

Receipts for the fiscal year were: $50,000.00 for support; $15,000.00 for new building and repairs; earnings, $5,488.22; total, $70,488.22. Outstanding indebtedness, $36.05. Per capita cost of maintenance, $200.00. The compulsory attendance law has been enforced only to a limited extent; solicitors assisting in seven cases. Some applications refused for want of room and because of feeblemindedness. Two expulsions for flagrant disobedience of rules and attempt at running away. Some scarlet fever in a light form at present; general health is good. A physical examination is required, but no special examination for tuberculosis. One suspicious case, and we will send the child home. No specialist for the examination of the eyes, nose and throat, and no

Page 23

dentist except for extraordinary cases. No physical culture teacher. Attention is given to correct standing, sitting, breathing, etc. We have outdoor exercises for the boys, and the girls take outdoor exercise, but not systematically. No changes in the literary or industrial courses. Printing, carpentry, woodwork, shoemaking, farming and gardening are taught. Children become self-supporting. We have chapel exercises, Sunday School, and Christian Endeavor Society. We use the manual method for 63 and both oral and manual for 188. The new primary building is about completed, but is without furnishing. It will take $4,000 to complete and equip the building. It will take $60,000 per annum for the support of three hundred children. We also need a hospital building, cost about $10,000, and a water plant for the school, cost $20,000. About one hundred books have been added to the library. Miss Leatherman, of the State Library Commission, has advised and offered her services. The Superintendent of Public Instruction has visited the school, and we hope for a closer relation with that department. The superintendent is affiliated with the National Association of Schools for the Deaf and similar organizations, attending the annual meetings.

The per capita cost has been $198.01, based on figures for both departments, as accounts are not kept separately; but the per capita for the colored is smaller than the per capita cost for the whites. Outstanding indebtedness is $5,690.59. We will need $80,000 per annum for support and more land and new buildings. Improvements during the year have been granolithic pavements on two sides of the square; outdoor gymnasium, woodwork of the buildings repainted. At the colored department metal ceilings have been placed in the auditorium, boys' building, and the remaining rooms of the girls' building. Several rooms replastered with fiber plastering and the plumbing in the main building has been entirely renewed. Our new library building is meeting our needs nicely; we have added a hundred books during the year. The compulsory attendance law has only been partially enforced. None have been refused admission. No epidemic or serious accident. Health has been fairly good. A physical examination is always made upon admission, and also examination for tuberculosis. None reported this year. There are specialists for treatment of eyes, ears, throat and nose. Some attention given to the teeth. Two physical culture teachers. Regular outdoor exercise. No additions to the literary or industrial courses. As trade or occupation for support the following are taught: Broom and mattress making, chair seating, piano tuning and repairing for the boys; sewing, fancy work, dressmaking, etc., for the girls. It is estimated that eighty-five per cent of our pupils become self-supporting after leaving the institution.

There are twenty-two in the hospital with three white nurses and three colored orderlies to care for them. The physician is Dr. R. S. McGeachy. Veterans suffering with tuberculosis occupy a separate cottage. General health has been very good. The average age is seventy-five. Eighty-five applications on file, refused for want of room.

The appropriation for support for the last biennial period was $20,000 per annum. Disbursements have been about $23,600 and $1,000 for uniforms under special law. Outstanding indebtedness is about $6,000. Per capita cost of maintenance, $136. We will need $30,000 per year for support and special appropriation to meet the indebtedness.

Fifty-three boys now present. Applications have been refused for lack of room in most cases, but some were not suitable subjects. We have a regular physician, and all suspicious cases of throat, ear and eye troubles are especially examined.

The health of the children has been remarkably good. We have had one unfortunate and fatal accident. The literary course reaches about the seventh grade. For recreation the boys have outdoor sports. Receipts have been $21,000; disbursements, $18,000. No outstanding indebtedness. Two hundred and ninety acres. Bored well. Sewerage. Insurance. No special fire protection, but the cottages are built of brick and have stairways on both sides leading from the second story to the ground floor.

Special receipts included a bequest of $1,000 by will of C. H. Belvin, of Raleigh. Children are received not younger than six years of age, and the age for the discharge of boys is sixteen; of girls, at eighteen. No epidemic or serious accident. The health of the children is excellent. There is reasonable fire protection, but we hope to improve the equipment. Good water supply. Sewerage, but there are three dry closets for day use. These are regularly and carefully looked after. Instruction in industrial work is given in the cottage homes, cook room, dining rooms, laundry, sewing rooms, the hospital, farm, dairy, shoe shop, printing office and woodworking shop. Literary courses are taught in the school. We place a few children in private homes when we are convinced, after careful investigation, that this action will most likely subserve the interests of the children. In this delicate and important work we endeavor to make a more and more thorough investigation and have better supervision.

Any apparent defect of the eyes, throat, ears or nose would be referred to our physician for attention, and he takes the action deemed necessary.

Special attention is given to the use of tooth brushes and to the care of the teeth of the children. The dentists of Oxford and other dentists of the State have done much valuable work on the children's teeth. We have not now the regular system for the care of the teeth which we hope and expect to have. Examination for tuberculosis is made only by regular physician of the orphanage. Before admission, a certificate is required from a reputable physician that the child is sound in mind and body.

No changes to buildings this year; several improvements are contemplated as soon as we have sufficient funds. By strict economy and careful handling, the funds with which the institution has been provided in recent years have sustained it without debt, though we now need a larger income if the work is to be kept up to its present standard or is to be improved.

Per capita cost, $72. Receipts (not including building fund), $6,696.86; disbursements, $8,465.28. Ages of admission and discharge, from five to eighteen. No epidemic or serious accident. Present health of the children is good. We have no sewerage or adequate fire protection. Excreta hauled off daily. Good water supply, two wells and three pumps. Children are placed in private homes for only short periods. Care of eyes, throat and ears and teeth only by the matron. No examination for tuberculosis; children suffering from the disease would be declined. Examination for hookworm. Literary and industrial courses taught. Our main support is from the State. We need a building for dining room and chapel, and shall ask the State to help us by making a special appropriation for this. Our large brick dormitory for girls is nearing completion. One end of this is to take the place of the Infants' Department, which was destroyed by fire. The other part is for the large girls, teachers and matrons whose present quarters are dilapidated and came near going up in flames last winter. The new building is 165½ feet long and 40 feet wide; main part three stories, and two wings of two stories each. This building will cost $18,000; of this amount the State was kind enough to give us $5,000. From the public by subscriptions and labor from the orphans $5,212.16. All the brick was made at the brickyard by the boys, and nearly all the lumber is from the woods belonging to the institution and cut by the orphan boys with their own sawmill. We realize a great saving by using our own labor in hauling brick, sand and lumber. While we undertake to give each child here as far as possible elementary training in books, our chief aim is to give them thorough industrial training; and while our farm, shoe shop, blacksmith and wood shops have been blessings to them, the brickyard, sawmill, and the handling of brick and mortar in the construction of these

Page 30

new buildings are greater opportunities. It is surprising how aptly they catch on and how willingly they work, inspired with the belief that some day they will be masters of the same trades.

The results from the farm and trucking departments have been equally satisfactory. The girls rendered cheerful assistance in the cultivation and harvesting of the crops. They are also given a careful and rigid training in domestic science. There never was an appropriation made to the colored people by the State which has done more good and which has been as much appreciated as the $5,000 given annually to help in the maintenance of this Home and the special amount, $5,000, given to aid in the erection of the new building. Our object and desire is to rescue, to save and make this element of the race a blessing to themselves and a credit to our great State. We are determined that the good people of the State shall not only realize our appreciation by our kind words and friendly acts, but that they shall see the good and actual fruits.

Nothing to the credit of the prison in cash. The per capita cost of providing for a convict is $250 per annum. There are religious services at the prison, farm and camps. A room has been fitted up at the central prison as a library with the library fund, which has been on hand several years. There are about twelve hundred books, some of them gifts. About 5 per cent use the library at present. Blacks and whites have been separated in their sleeping quarters at the farm and camps, as the law provides.

A number of minor improvements in the central prison. The dining room windows have been screened, plank flooring placed there in lieu of the dirt floor; iron bars instead of wooden slats to these windows so as to give more air and light. The general health has been unusually good. Discipline of the men fine. Three cases of tuberculosis; no deaths from this disease during the year. Prisoners are especially examined for tuberculosis upon admission. There is no celebration of holidays, but prisoners are given privileges and are not required to work on those days. Yes, we favor parole for prisoners. Great improvements have been made at the Tillery farm in sleeping quarters, bathing facilities and sewerage. No improvement in fire protection at the farm. Also improvements in the prison infirmary.

Monthly cost of running the camp is from $1,000 to $1,100, clothing not included. The State receives $1.50 per day for each man. The camp has been visited twice by the Superintendent of the Prison since February, once each by the representative of the Board of Internal Improvements and by the Board of Charities. It has been visited three times by Mr. Doughton, Director, and he will make a fourth visit this year; also by representatives of the State Board of Health.

A record is kept of the condition of the prisoners. A daily report of the time made, sickness, etc.

Obedience is required, no profane or indecent language allowed. Sixty days a year are allowed for good behavior. Five days deducted from good time made for each punishment with the lash. Leather strap two to three inches wide, and from six to twenty-five licks given ordinarily. A record is kept of corporal punishments. It is administered by the Supervisor or under his direction. None so punished in the last thirty days. No religious services except occasionally in the summer, about twice a month then. Voluntary services, ministers do not receive any pay. No Sunday School. A few magazines have been sent in and read. No instruction in reading or writing of the illiterate. No form of recreation. They spend Sunday in camp. They are allowed to see relatives or friends and to write to them. The health of the prisoners is good, they look well. The sick were on bedsteads in the end of the cell. One with cold, one with Bright's disease, two recovering from rock hurt. They are attended by Drs. Ring and Reece when sent for. Good well in the stockade and spring at safe distance away. Windows and transoms for ventilation. Stoves for heat and kerosene lamps for light. Required to bathe weekly, three prisoners using the same water in a thirty-gallon tub. Clothing changed weekly.

CHAFFIN'S CAMP.

(Inspected by Commissioner Carey J. Hunter and found in good condition.)

W. L. CHAFFIN, Supervisor. TAR HEEL.

This camp is located at Tar Heel, Bladen County. Work is being done on the Elizabethtown Railroad. One supervisor and twenty guards.

Page 33

Twenty-two white and 118 colored prisoners; total, 140. Supervisor's salary $75, and guards $25. Monthly running expenses about $2,100. The State receives $1.50 per day for each convict. The Superintendent visits the camp regularly. Directors occasionally. Representative of the Board of Health and of the Board of Charities once each during the year. Records are kept of the men, time made, health and other matters of interest. We are very good to those who do their duty. Those who can not be persuaded have to be thrashed. Corporal punishment is inflicted and a record kept of the same. Five have been whipped in the last thirty days. Administered by the Supervisor. Common leather strap, from ten to twenty-five licks. Preachers come in. We have six preachers who are convicts, and they hold forth every Sunday. No regular Sunday School. No minister paid for his services. Yes, they have magazines and read them. No literary instruction. Not more than six who can not read and write; two of these are white men.

On Sundays some of the negro preachers read the Bible and some listen. Others are plotting to escape. More escapes on Monday or after two or three days of rain than any other time. They are allowed to see friends or relatives only in the presence of an officer or guard. Blacks and whites in separate sleeping quarters. General appearance of the prisoners as to health is good. Bathe weekly. We have a fine pump, well sixty feet deep and furnishes bountiful supply. Special provision for excreta which is buried. Dr. Northrop is called in when any one is sick. Ventilation good. Heated by stoves; kerosene light. No vermin. If sent direct to the camp they are bathed and cleaned before entering our camp. Grounds good; kitchen, etc., adequate. Bedding changed as often as good weather will permit. Clothes changed once or twice a week and oftener if they get wet. Amount and kind of clothes depends upon the roughness of the work; at all times an abundance. No special sleeping clothes. They are allowed from one-half pound to three-quarters of good meat, peas, beans, rice and vegetables when they can be gotten. Fresh meat from time to time, and diet changed as often as possible.

The health of my camp has been remarkably good; not one-fourth the sickness that there is in the same number outside. This is attributable to the fact that they are well fed with good, wholesome food, made to go to bed early and keep clean, and a physician sent for as soon as one gets sick. Our doctor says there is no comparison between the health of our convict camp and the outside negroes.

W. L. CHAFFIN, Supervisor.

(The Tar Heel Camp was inspected by Commissioner Carey J. Hunter and found in good condition. New canvas tents and new bedticks were being placed. The men looked well, except one or two who were allowed to do only part of a day's work because not strong. General impression as to physical conditions very favorable.)

NUMBER OF PRISONERS IN COUNTY CAMPS.

(Blanks were sent to all Boards of Commissioners August 1, 1910, but failure of some to reply after repeated efforts on part of the Secretary to obtain answers necessitated requesting the information of visitors and sheriffs. However, the information is correct and gives the average number in charge for thirty-eight counties as 1,383. Total number during the year would, of course, be much larger. Terms, thirty days and up to ten years.)

Fifteen acres of land at Durham has been donated the society for a receiving home, and operations have already begun looking towards its erection. It is two miles from the court-house on the macadam road, with every advantage of perfect drainage, good soil, etc. It will be fireproof, with capacity of thirty. At present children awaiting placement are cared for wherever we can secure board for them. The four departments of work are: 1. Investigation of the alleged need of each child reported, to find out what ought to be done. 2. Temporary care of those received into legal custody, pending final disposition. 3. Investigation as to their fitness of families that offer to take children into their homes. 4. Supervision of the children after placement.

The negro is the great source of spreading tuberculosis. The State is not only duty-bound to establish a place for his care as a consumptive, but seems impelled to do so in self-defense. The negro is the servant for the most part in the home of the white race in North Carolina as cook, laundress, nurse and custodian of the children, and serves in bedrooms, dining-rooms, etc. He is the same as mentioned above in his own home at night! Then, too, these servants often do the laundry work, and for themselves also, living and going from infected houses, giving the entire State a double source of infection. This information I have carefully gathered during a quarter of a century in professional life.

It seems to me that he should be sent to the Hospital. I made an effort to get several boys in the Jackson Training School and the judge promised to send them, but the principal wrote me that the institution was now full; so the

Page 114

Remarks.--A good dinner is usually sent to the convicts on Thanksgiving by the oldest boys' class of the Presbyterian church. The convicts are still chained while they work, except the trusties. This is very hard on them, but the excuse given is that if left unchained several more guards would have to be employed to watch them, at considerable extra expense to the county. It seems to me to be a serious reflection on the Christian communities living in the county seats of the various counties, that so few religious services are held in the jails and the county homes and convict camps. It would appear to all thinking persons that of all classes who need religious teaching and help, those in prison for their misdeeds, and the old and helpless at the homes would need it most; the first for instruction as to how to lead a better life, and the second for encouragement and for preparation for the life to come.

COUNTY HOMES.

The following seven counties do not maintain Homes for the Aged and Infirm, but give outdoor relief: Carteret, Clay, Currituck, Graham, Lee, Mitchell and Onslow.

Fifty-four counties give as present in the Homes at time of report 453 whites, 254 colored and 33 color not given--total, 740.

Of these 31 white and 14 colored were insane; total, 45. Epileptics, 48; feeble-minded, 192; total mental defectives in these County Homes, 285. Of these 24 were confined.

Children, 18 white and 10 colored; total, 28. Died during the year, 204. Cared for in the County Homes, 740, at a cost of $60,002.30. Outdoor relief to the poor in their own homes to 2,356 persons at a cost of $52,652.19. Grand total, $112,654.49.

Twelve additional counties from the Visitors' report give in sixty-six Homes, 932. Insane, 59; epileptics, 66; feeble-minded, 225; total mental defectives, 350. Confined, 28. Children in charge, 31.

As there are ninety-one counties maintaining Homes this leaves one-fourth not reporting number cared for, and only two-thirds have reported the cost of the county poor. The farms add materially to the support of the Homes and are not included in the above amount.

Conclusions of the International Prison Congress Held
in Washington, D. C., October 2 to 8, 1910

(Resumé prepared by Mr. J. J. Kelso, Toronto, Canada.)

The Congress representing the nations of the world meets once in five years, and in 1910 was the guest of the United States. It was divided up into committees which met each morning and considered a series of questions, the consensus of opinion being crystallized into resolutions, which were submitted to the General Assembly in the afternoon, and finally adopted as the view of the Congress. These resolutions are as follows:

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

I. Young delinquents should not be subjected to the penal procedure now applied to adults.

II. The principles that should guide the procedure applied to young delinquents are as follows:

1. Those who are entrusted with the cognizance of the cases of young delinquents should be primarily chosen for their ability to understand and sympathize with children, and should have some special knowledge of the social and psychological sciences.

2. They should have the assistance of probation officers to make preliminary examination in each case and to watch over and help those put on probation.

3. There should be made, in connection with the cases of young delinquents, such examinations as will contribute to the fund of information on juvenile delinquency and the results should be used wherever practicable to help in the disposition of the case. Medical examinations should be made only by physicians who have some special knowledge of the social and psychological sciences. The personal information obtained in these examinations shall not be made public.

4. Whenever possible, in the case of young delinquents, arrest should be avoided in bringing them before the authorities and orders for arrest should be issued only in exceptional cases.

5. When necessary to detain young delinquents, the detention should not be in quarters used for adults.

6. In those countries where a court is entrusted with the cognizance of the cases of young delinquents--

(a) Such cases should never be heard at the same session with cases of adults, and

(b) It should be the tendency, in the trial of juveniles, to proceed as far as practicable by way of conference for the good of the child, instead of contest about and over the child.

III. Those who are entrusted with the cognizance of the cases of young delinquents should also have the cognizance of the measures needed in the interest of abandoned or maltreated children.

IDLE AND VAGABOND CHILDREN.

"What measures should be taken to correct the idleness and vagabondage of children in large cities?"

"It is Resolved, That to prevent habits of vagrancy and idleness among children in large cities there should be--

"1. Laws making parents responsible for the wrongdoing of their children; to compel deserting fathers to return to their duty or to support their children; allowing children to be taken from unfit homes and properly placed for training and care.

"2. Greater co-operation between school authorities and the public, better adaptation of school curricula both in interest and in practical use to the individual needs of the children; and there shall be more kindergartens and greater recognition of training in hand work for the children.

"3. Vast additions to playgrounds, wholesome recreation centers, gymnasiums and athletic fields, as the surest preventatives of juvenile mischief and crime and as affording young people places where they may learn to bear defeat with courage and success with modesty.

"4. Lectures to parents on practical subjects that shall tend to make better and happier homes, as the wisest way to keep children from the idle, wandering life.

"5. A stronger influence on the part of the press and the pulpit to enforce the sentiment that the best bulwark against juvenile delinquency is to care for the children in such a way as to prevent them from becoming vagrants and idlers."

CHILDREN BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK.

"Are special measures necessary for the protection of children born out of wedlock, and if so, what measures?"

"Resolved, 1. That in the opinion of this Congress, legislative measures and moral and social propaganda are necessary for the protection of illegitimate children.

"2. That the object of legislative action should be so to modify existing laws as to make the care, support and inheritance of illegitimate and legitimate children as near as possible identical.

"3. That, after the nursing period is over, the decision as to which parent shall have the future care of an illegitimate child should be based upon the child's best interests and its needs as a future citizen.

"4. That whichever parent has not the care of the child should contribute toward its support and education.

"5. That as illegitimacy is often the result of ignorance, it shall be the object of a moral propaganda--

"(a) to instruct young people in matters of sex and its relation to the life and welfare of the State.

"(b) To help build up a single moral standard applicable to men and women alike.

Page 172

"6. That as girl-mothers often attempt abortion, abandonment of their child, or drift into prostitution, it shall be the object of a social propaganda to have connected with hospitals and all institutions where such girl-mothers may go for advice and care, a trained staff of workers whose duties shall be--

"(a) To instruct said girl-mother in the care of herself in view of her child's needs before and after birth.

"(b) To secure from the child's father acknowledgement of paternity and the necessary financial provisions.

"(c) To act as friend to the mother and guardian or trustee for the child."

PROBATION.

"What is the effect upon criminality of the legal measures taken in different States in the form of probation or suspension of sentence, etc., to avoid the necessity of imprisonment, especially at the time of first conviction, taking account of the age, character and antecedents of the person? And is it desirable that these and similar laws should be extended?"

"Resolved, 1. That the effects of probation are beneficial when applied with due regard to the protection of the community, and to persons who may reasonably be expected to reform, without resorting to imprisonment; and when the probationers are placed for a reasonable length of time under the supervision of competent officers.

"2. That the effects of suspended sentence, without probationary oversight, are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain.

"3. That it is desirable to introduce and extend laws providing for probation, and to provide, in each State or country, some central authority which will exercise general supervision over probation work."

THE MODERN REFORMATORY.

"A. The essential principles on which the modern reformatory method is based are--

"1. That no person, no matter whatever his age or past record, should be assumed to be incapable of improvement.

"2. The conviction that it is in the interest of the public not merely to impose a sentence which is retributive and deterrent, but also to make an earnest effort for the reformation of the criminal.

"3. That this reformation is more likely to be accomplished by religious and moral instruction, mental quickening, physical development, and such employment as would place the prisoner on a good industrial basis.

"4. That the reformatory system is incompatible with short sentences, and a relatively long period of reformatory treatment is more likely to be beneficial than repeated short terms of imprisonment under severer conditions.

"5. That reformatory treatment should be combined with a system of

Page 173

liberation on parole under suitable guardianship and supervision on the advice of a suitable board.

"B. It is strongly to be desired that a system of special treatment be adopted for adolescent criminals, whether recidivists or not.

"C. Tribunals should be able to sentence to special treatment, which (a) should be sufficiently long to permit of the full application of all possible means of reformation, (b) shall admit the right of conditional liberation as mentioned above for prisoners awaiting trial, and for prisoners serving short sentences there should be separate confinement.

RELEASE ON PAROLE.

"Accepting the principle of conditional liberation on parole as an indispensable aid to the reformation of the prisoner, the Congress approves of the following resolutions:

"1. Conditional release should be given not by favor but in accordance with definite rules. Prisoners of all classes, including workhouse prisoners, should be eligible for conditional release after serving for a definite minimum period.

"2. Conditional liberation should be given on the recommendation of a properly constituted board, but reserving always the control of the government. This board should have the power of recalling the prisoner in case of unsatisfactory conduct.

"3. The duty of caring for conditionally liberated prisoners should be undertaken by State agents, specially approved associations, or individuals who will undertake to befriend and supervise them, and to report on their conduct for a sufficiently long period.

"4. Where the ordinary rules for parole are not applicable to life prisoners, their cases should be dealt with by the supreme government as a matter of clemency."

THE INDETERMINATE SENTENCE.

"The Congress approves the scientific principle of the indeterminate sentence.

"The indeterminate sentence should be applied to moral and mental defectives.

"The indeterminate sentence should also be applied as an important part of the reformatory system to criminals, particularly young delinquents, who require reformation and whose offenses are due mainly to circumstances of an individual character.

"The introduction of this system should be conditioned upon the following suppositions:

"1. That the prevailing notions of guilt and punishment are compatible with the principle of the indeterminate sentence.

"2. That an individualized treatment of the offender be assured.

"3. That the 'Board of Parole' be so constituted as to avoid outside influences, and consist of a commission made up of at least one representative

Page 174

of the magistracy, at least one representative of the prison administration, and at least one representative of medical science.

"It is advisable to fix the maximum duration of the sentence only during such a period as it may be necessary because of the novelty of the institution and lack of experience with it."

THE CRIMINAL ABROAD.

It was also resolved that the following propositions be comprised in an International Code, to be adopted by the next Congress:

"1. Incapacities pronounced in one country should be given effect in every other (non-political).

"2. Crimes and misdemeanors of which a person is guilty in one country should, as touching conditional liberation, be recognized with reference to establishing recidivism in every other country.

"3. A bureau should be created for international exchange of criminal sentences."

COMPLICITY IN CRIME.

"To resist the tendency of criminals to band themselves together, is it not desirable to make participation in criminal acts or agreements a distinct offense, or at least to make complicity an aggravating circumstance?

"1. It does not appear to be in conformity with the spirit of penal law to make of every preliminary agreement to break the law, a special crime.

"2. Noting the increase of offenses for which several persons are responsible, and that these offenses are committed chiefly by habitual criminals, i. e., those most dangerous to society, it is desirable to consider participation as an aggravating circumstance and to augment the power of the judge to increase the penalty for such offenses."

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

It was decided to hold the next Congress in London, England, in 1915. Sir Evelyn Ruggles-Brise, President; Secretary, Prof. S. Von der Aa, of Croningen, Holland.
