HONORING THE MILITARY VETERANS THAT ATTENDED THE WCTS

• Many of the kids that were at the Wayne County Training School went on to serve and some gave their lives for our country. Remember them as well as all of our military personal as you enjoy the holiday weekend. I am linking an article that was written by Dr Haskell back in July 1943. Please excuse the politically incorrect title that was given to the article. We all know that the labels given to students of the school were not accurate by any means.

• One Hundred Institutionalized Mental Defectives in the Armed Forces.
