The deficit has occurred because of decreased fees and increased
<br />er~ol~ent. Priority is given to children whose parents ~av~ the lowest income. This, of
<br />course, causes our intake of fees to be l~ver but keeps these families off the public assis-
<br />tmuce rolls. It is also mu importmut factor in preventing juvenile delinquency as under -
<br />privileged'childre~benefit'by excellent training.".
