Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twelfth Biennial Report of the Board of Trustees and Superintendent of the Caswell Training School for Mental Defectives, Kinston, N. C: For the Two Years Ended June 30, 1936
All the purposes Of the school as laid down by the law creat ing the school have never been attained in its fullest sense. TO attain these purposes to the greatest degree is our goal. More money, much thought and hard work must be put into this enter prise to make it function properly and go forward or after twenty more years, we will be in an unenviable position - build ings Out Of repair, grounds in a deplorable state, and only a few children capable Of going out from this Institution and earning a living and taking their places in the community. Few have ever been sent from this Institution. In 1925, the daily per capita cost was in 1932 the per capita cost was 39 cents. A drop almost as fatal as a fall from an airplane. The 1925 per capita was probably too high and the 1932 per capita was entirely too low. The 1936 per capita of 59 cents per day is still entirely too low. To clothe, feed, house, teach, give medical and hospital attention for 59 cents per day per child is entirely too low and we are ashamed Of it.
