REPORT OF THE COMMISSION TO ESTABLISH A HOME FOR THE TREATMENT AND EDUCATION OF DEFORMEND AND CRIPPLED CHILDREN. State of Ohio, Executive Department, Office of the Governor. COLUMBUS, JANUARY 1, 1917. To the Members of the Senate and House of Representatives: I transmit herewith the report of the Commission to establish a Home for the treatment and education of deformed and crippled children. With the recommendations of this report I heartily concur. Ohio can do no nobler work than to proceed at once with the establishment of this institution. As is pointed out in the report of the Commission there is now no state institution in which these unfortunate little ones can receive proper treatment and education. Other states of the Union are ahead of Ohio in this humanitarian work. The experience of these states shows that at least 50 per cent of crippled children can be permanently cured, and 25 per cent more very much improved in their condition. The highest humanitarian considerations demand that no effort shall be spared in this commendable project to alleviate human suffering and help these children to become useful, self-sustaining citizens. I recommend that $90,000.00 be appropriated at the earliest possible date to enable the Commission to secure a site and provide necessary equipment and maintenance during 1917 and 1918. In order that there may be no delay in the progress of the work I respectfully but very urgently recommend that $60,000.00 of this amount be made immediately available. FRANK B. WILLIS, Governor. |
