10 THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1912 Thousands of Feeble Minded Children Grow Up Without Restraint By Dr. MAX SCMLAFF. Professor of Neuropitholoy of th Cornell Medical School J. C. Johnsen o D fEEBLE MINDED CHILDREN AND FEEBLE MINDED MEN ARE ROAMING ABOUT THE STREETS TODAY AS FREE AGENTS. PARENTS ARE NOT COMPELLED BY LAW TO PUT A FEE BLE MINDED CHILD IN CUSTODY. YET THAT FEEBLE MINDED CHILD UNSUSPECTED AS SUCH. AMIABLE AND CARE FREE AS HE USUALLY IS. IS POTENTIALLY A CRIMINAL AND AT ANY MOMENT MAY COMMIT A CRIME. That child is permitted to GKOW HP WITHOUT RE STRAINT except such as the parents exercise, and this has no effect whatever in these cases. The child is allowed to marry and bring forth children of his own kind more feeble minded and more danger ous. There is no system designed to pick out from the community persons so afflicted and no law whatever to prevent their untrammeled movements. The city street is a recruiting ground for the gangster because it is FULL OF DEFECTIVE CHILDREN, mental and moral, who are potential criminals. This question has never been seriously con sidered. When brought under corrective restraint it has hitherto long been the custom to herd all the cases together while serving time. But in 1S94 the German government woke up to the fact that 3 to 7 per cent of city children and those of isolated rural communities contain the "morn," or intellectually defective type, together with the moral im becile. There is only one way to prevent these types from becoming a menace. RESTRAIN THEM WHILE THEY ARE STILL DE VELOPING; keep them from becoming free agents in the commu nity they menace. PAID TO 'THINK AHEAD." Tha Part Imagination Playa In tha Business World. There U a man In an office in New York whose business It is to think bead on behalf of the community and prepare for coming events, writes T. Sharper Knowltou in the Century, dis tusHlng "The Uses of Imagination Id Business." He sits at a big table, and before him is a map of New York with its environs by land and sea. The problem is to determine what shipping accommodation will be required In the future and to begin the work of recon struction now. During the last centu ry the story was one of growth, growth, growth, and the story is to be continued. low? That is the ques tion which the man with the map has to settle. lie Is not on piecework; he is paid for thinking. In other words, whatever his official title may be, I shall call him acting professor of im agination to the shipping interests of New Tork. In every progressive bouse of busi ness there is or ought to be a similar officer. Generally be is the principal himself. That Is one reason why be di vides his business Into departments and pays men high salaries to superin tend them. He wants time to think. But the farseelng element in Imagi nation la not the only one. There Is one which concerns itself with details. If I might say so, imagination is tele- scoplc for hg things anil mirroscoplc for small tilings.

A traveler was detained at u little country railroad station In England Tor half an hour and was chatting with the station master when the lell rang sharply half a dozen times. Instantly the three employees station master, ticket agent and orter ranged up In a line on the platform and stood at at tention. A moment later a locomotive with a single saloon car slowed up. The solitary occupant of the car re garded the men sharply from the win dow, made hurried notes and quickly retired. "Who was that?" the traveler asked the station master after the man hail gone. "Some prominent officer of the liner1 "Oh, no." was the reply. "That was the railroad company's tailor measur ing us lor new suits."
