Turning from highway con- I dilions to human welfare, the j judges and co minis si oners consid ered tho problem of state insti- ( tuiions earing for children as dfs-i eussed by Miss Louise' Cottrell, j head of the. child welfare assocla- lion, many children are committed sto an Institution simply bcejuiso . authorities lack Information on relatives who are capable of of fering them good homes, she said. "No matter how well-managed an institution of the kind may be, acquaintance, with it brings a feel ing of insecurity and bewilderment to tho child. Our problem is to discover just which children would bo better off in .institutions, and homes offered." j paii s. delinquency of children and care of unmarried mothers is receiving more attention by the. commission, not because thesM problems are necessarily Increasing, but because , more effort is spent toward seek ing them out, said Miss Marion Ho wen of the state child welfare bureau. She said broken home; are the chief factor in juvenile delinquency. mmm W'. -t jstS mt ivjvrv 4.i!arsu.
