a center for counseling, plan-
ning, and administrative direc-
tion for the Home. The Home’s
current programs on the cam-
pus, in off-campus group
homes, and in private foster
homes give care to an average
of more than 160 children.
On hand for the ground-
breaking, along with Mr. Corne-
lius, were Mr. John White,
Founding Superintendent of the
Home, current administrator
Floyd I. Stumbo, members of
the Home’s staff, and represen-
tatives of the Board of Direc-
tors. The architect for the
Crump Center was Byron Mar-
tin of Claude Martin and Sons.
Construction is expected to take
six months with occupancy
taking place during September
of 1976.
Home Superintendent Floyd
Stumbo stated, “The Cornelius
gift and construction of the
Crump Center will be of tre-
mendous value to the work of
the Home. The growing pro-
gram has required cramped
quarters for the Home’s staff
for the last few years. The
lovely new unit will take care
of planned expansion for the
next several years.”
Stumbo added, “Christian

NEW COUNSELLING
INI?
Stumbo explained, “The child
coming into care today is older,
and generally more emotionally
damaged than was true ten
years ago. The need for im-
proved counseling and meeting
space is evident.” The existing
Nairn Administrative building
was build in 1963 when the
Home’s professional staff num-
bered only six people. The
growth in program and in-
creased emphasis on counseling
require additional facilities. The
Crump Center is expected to
meet this demand for at least
another decade of service at
the Home.
guidance and counseling are
basic to our work of helping
troubled families in today’s
world. The Crump Center will
provide long needed additional
facilities and comfortable sur-
roundings for the work of
mending broken hearts and
shattered lives.”
“Additionally, part of the
Tatum Youth Center was given
over to development and mail-
ing activities five years ago.
There is a critical need to
provide adequate group activity
space for children at the
Home.”
