Urge Reforms in Welfare System in Kansas
Topeka Kansas December AP nearly two years of study led the Kansas Public Welfare commission to propose 18 reform ideas for the state system. Key recommendations create a seven member state welfare board to direct penal benevolent and correctional institutions and unify duties now split among boards with county welfare boards to administer poor relief charitable institutions and delinquent and dependent children programs. Secondary reforms cover hiring based on qualifications, standardizing penal and charitable education, consolidating colored schools, rewriting adoption laws, tightening probation and parole, and creating a receiving home and child research lab. Executive secretary Ruth D. Kolling outlined the proposal with named members A W Wilson chair Harrison Parkman Grover Pierpont Hugh J. Powell and Mabel A. Elliott.
