Construction of statute. Object of statute. § 13. This statute is to be construed liberally by the board of trustees and the courts of the state in order that the greatest good may be accomplished. Satisfactory proof of the needs of all children for state support must be furnished the board of trustees before their admission and at any time during their presence at the school when deemed necessary by the board of trustees. Only children of bona fide citizens and residents of the state, who were such prior to their death, are to be admitted. The principal object of this statute and the establishment of the California State Trades and Training School hereunder, is to provide education and training for such dependent children who have been cared for in the different orphan homes in this state and by county boards of supervisors, and who no longer are entitled to draw state aid because of the age limit of fourteen years, and for children ordered committed by court, and in this way assist them until they are eighteen years of age by giving them a practical training and education in order that they may be self-supporting. Rules for management. §14. The board of trustees are hereunder given authority to adopt such rules and regulations for the management of the institution as may seem best when not in conflict with the direction and approval of the state board of examiners.
