Orren Thompson, Corvallis, Ore gon, R. F. D. 2. 4-30-2t His Alternative. It is best to keep one's personal dignity at whatever cost. A he fitting sense of what is due one never comes amiss, even ' within prison precincts. This truth was appreciated by an Irishman whose expression of it is quoted by Michael MacDonagh in "Irish Life and Character." The prisoner, refrac tory and obstinate, flatly refused to work m the treadmill. The man was brought before the governor of the prison for disobe dience. The governor asked him what reason he could give for not following out his orders. "Me go on the treadmill" ex claimed the prisoner, drawing him self up to his full height of offend ed dignity. "Never, sir ! T'd rather lave the jail first !" Obliging. A middle aged farmer accosted a serious faced youth in London the other day. "Young man," he said, plucking his sleeve, "I want to go to Hyde park." The youth seemed lost in consid eration for a moment. Well, he said finally, you may go just this once, hut I don't want you ever to ask me again."- Pick- Me-Up. rafiran!

How is the Timo To see Just the very Purpose Is to Check Youthful Crimi nality Due to Heredity and Environ ment Mental Condition of Children Will Be Investigated, as Well as Their Ancestry. The study of the souls of children that is one of the purposes of the Juvenile Psychopathic institute, organ ized in Chicago by philanthropic citi zens and prominent settlement work ers. Its final objects are to obtain for juvenile offenders proper treatment, ac cording to their mentality and sur roundings, and to achieve a diminution of juvenile criminality by eradicating the contributing causes in individual cases. The organization has employed com petent medical talent, and each child brought into the juvenile court will be examined physically and mentally and his home surroundings and even his ancestry inquired into with a view to determining the cause of delinquency. Among those prominent in the under taking are Miss Jane Addams, Miss Julia C. Lathrop, Mrs. William F. Dummer, 107 Lincoln Park boulevard, and Allen T. Burns. ' The institute, founded because its originators believe that crime among children is due largely to mental con ditions resulting from environment and heredity, was incorporated the other day by Miss Addams, Mrs. Dummer and Mr. Burns. Through the efforts of Mrs. Dummer, Miss Lathrop and a number of others sufficient funds have been procured to carry on the research work for at least five years. Miss Addams said recently that she believed much valuable information concerning juvenile criminology and criminals would be obtained and that the results probably would lead to im portant changes in the methods of han dling youthful offenders. Dr. William Healy, who is a special ist on nervous diseases, has been en gaged to make the psychopathic inves tigation. He will have at least one assistant, who will make special inves tigations of the social and family con ditions of the children under observa tion. The salaries of- Dr. Healy and his assistant have been guaranteed for five years. The work will be in charge of a board of directors, composed of Miss Lathrop and Mr. Burns, representing the school of civics and philanthropy; Dr. Frank Churchill and Mrs. George Dean of the Children's Hospital socle ty and Miss Addams and Mrs. Dona--. mer of the juvenile court committee. ;; "The organization of the Psycho pathic institute is the result of the work of the Juvenile Court society and Children's Hospital society," said Miss Addams. "There are many chil dren brought before the juvenile court who are no doubt subnormal. The Children's Hospital society has . been holding clinics in the court, examining children for physical defects. Now we propose to go still further and study the youthful criminals from mental and psychopathic standpoints. "We intend to examine into the child's mental condition, investigate his environment and the record of his family, thus seeking the causes which brought about his criminal actions. There is no doubt that a great deal of youthful criminality is caused by nervous diseases, subnormality and mental aberration, brought about through heredity or home environ ment. 7 "Through our research work, which will extend over a period of at least five years, we hope to- get at the root of the exact causes that -ifiake chil dren go wrong. Sufficient funds to carry on this work thoroughly already have been obtained. - "Our method of operation? When a youthful criminal is brought before the juvenile court he will be-examined by Dr. Healy. The doctor's assistant will follow up this examination by finding out under what conditions this child lives and learn if possible the complete mental and physical history, of his ancestors. - "We then will be in a position to know exactly the status of the child's case and how to deal with it. In many cases medical science no doubt will be able to correct or overcome at least part of the mental weakness or subnormality which has led the child Into criminal paths. The research- work also m&y result in some impor tant changes in the methods of deal ing with juvenile offenders."r-Chicago Record-Herald.
