Our
cOl1g’f’:d.nlatjons
i o
Miss
Celia
Gray
on
her
appointment
to
succeed
Miss
Franklyn
Wilson
as
Superintendent
of
the
State
Industrial
Home
for
Women,
Muncy.
Miss
Gray
has
been
on
the
stuff
of’
the
institution
for
more
than
twenty
years
and
most
recently
as
Acting
Superintendent,
fol-
lowing
the
resignation
of
Miss
M’ranklyn
Wilson.
She
was
Assistant
Superintendent
under
Miss
Wilson
for
a
number
of
years
and
is
familiar
with
Ihc
Muncy program
because
she
has
had
a
share
in
developing
it.
Iller
appointment
is
a
merited
reward
for
faithful
service.
We
count
upon
Miss
Gray
to
continue
the
high
standard
of
performance
at
Muncy
and
our
sincere
gooci
wishes
for
a
suc-
cessful
administration
are
extended.
Mrs.
Rebecca
Whaley
who
has
also
been
on
the
staff
for
a
long
time,
was
named
as
Assistant
Superintendent.
Our
best
wishes
to
Mrs.
Whaley
also.
Another
Improvement
at
Huntingdon
Commander
Pennington
has
added
another
member
to
the
staff
of
his
clinic.
His
purpose
is
to
enable
him
to
assign
members
of
the
clinic
staff
to
spend
some
time
in
circulating
through
the
institution.
Specifically,
they
will
see
the
boys
in
action,
discuss
their
performance
with
overseers,
and
hopefully,
find
time
for
indivi.dual
interviews
with
boys
who
are
having
difficulty
in
making
a
satisfactory
institutional
adjustment.
This
is
an
important
step
in
advance
and
is
in
line
with
the
best
thinking
on
the
subject
of
individualized
treatment.
It
will
serve
to
integrate
more
fully
the
work
of the
clinic
with
the
institutional
program.
In
our
humble
opinion,
the
positive
out-
look
of
the
Huntingdon
administration
in
developing
its
program
for
the
treatment
of
defective
delinquents,
is
making
history.
General
State
Authority
According
to
press
reports,
The
General
State
Authority
has
committed
itself
to
the
extent
of
thirty-five
million
dollars
in
new
construction
project.s,
but
there
is
no
mention
of
a
penny
of
it
being
used
to
carry
out
any
project
in
the
field
of
correction.
