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-

DELINQUENTS THE SUBJECTS.
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
