13 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WED2TESDAT, "APRIL 1, 1903. CARE OF FEEBLE-MINDED TOPIC IS DEBATED AT COXFKRKXCK OF CHARITIES ASD COBJlECTIO.ws. Sr. Gilbert Argue Acalnt Improper Vme of State Institution Wblcb. Other Speakers Ilccomracnd. "Oregon u a. et&te has no duties to her feeble-minded children merely because of their feeble mlndedneES. Such was the keynote of a paper read by Dr. J. Allen Gilbert at the Oregon Conference of Charities and Correction yesterday afternoon at the First Unitarian Church. Dr. Gilbert's aim was to prove the -wrong of apromlsclous use of a state institution for the feebleminded. In stead of devoting public funds to this purpose be thought that more should be opent In disseminating knowledge of the causes of defective faculties. In the meantime those In that condition should not be supported at' the expense of the state slmnlv because they were feeble minded. The exception was when the child was helpless and deserted or Its parents absolutely destitute. "Only where re sponsibility cannot be fixed with justice upon the private citizen should the state care for even the deserted child," said he. "For the commonwealth to support any of Its members when he can take care of hlnvelf Is not only an injustice to the state, but an Injury to the Individual him. self. Our tribe of tramps Is a tribute not so much to the kindheartedness of a pub lic easily Imposed upon as to our short rlghtedneiw In failing to see that in help ing him who can help himself we rob ourselves, rob him of his respect for us. and deprive the man of his independence. The roan who can earn his board but will not should be allowed to starve." Then Dr. Gilbert went back to his sub ject again. "The mere fact that an in. dividual is feeble minded should no more justify bis committment to the care of the public than that one with chronic Erlght's disease should draw from the cof fers of the state to counteract the evils of his misfortune. Both are diseases, and the Inconveniences of each should be borne by those upon whom the misfortune may fall." It was -the opinion of the speaker that an asylum was not the best place for the care of feeble-minded children: that the company of others In the same condition was a serious obstacle ti their improve roent. Dr. Gilbert summarized his paper by reading several suggestions as to Ore gon's duty as to her feeble-minded chil dren: "First The state should adopt stringent measures looking toward the prevention of insanity and weak mlndvdness. "Second The state should own and con trol an institution for feeble-minded chil dren. "Third Feeble mlndedness should serve as the sole criterion for said institution. "Fourth Tuition should be free to all, other living expenses being charged for at a minimum rate, except where the ap plicant is without resource for his sup port, the full expense In such cases to be borne by the state. "Fifth To said institution should be committed all children between the ages of 4 and IS not eligible to the public schools on account of mental incapacity, provided that no child shall be commit ted who is not a detriment to the com munity in which he lives, and who has friends who desire to and wflt provide for his support and education elsewhere, ac cording to the educational demands of the state. "Corollary In dispensing charity the state should do only that which it is un just to demand of the Individual citizen." "Oregon's Duty to Fecble-Mlnded Chil dren" was the topic of the afternoon ses sion of the conference. Labor Commis sioner Mrs. Trumbull followed Dr. Gilbert, but did not agree with him on many points, and said so very emphatically. Mrs. Trumbull declared that it was the duty of the state to care for its feeble minded and said that in an institution they could be better cared for than at home. "Kach indication of Interest which would escape the eye of even the mother is eagerly seized by the trained teacher. Again, her science teaches her to utilize1 the natural activities of the child, and. Instead' of antagonizing and stimulating the evil tendencies she will guide them into a constructive Instead of a destruc tive channel." said the speaker. "Yet our State of Oregon makes no provision for these unfortunate children, except to per mit them to drag out a purposeless ex irtcner in the Asylum for the Insane, and it in in the hope that our citizens may correct this barbarous custom, this prac tice which puts our state on the seml-clv-lllzed list, that we bring our appeal to you, and by placing before you some of the results which have been attained in other states we hope to convince you that confining the &b!e minded In asylums for the Insane Is not only Inhuman and barbarous, but grossly extravagant as well." Mrs. Trumbull declared that al most every grade of feeble-minded chll. dren could be taught something which would aid them to support themselves. In speaking of the care of the feeble minded. Dr. W. T. 'Williamson, of Salem, first assistant physician of the State In sane Asylum, said: "There are two conspicuous methods of dealing with this weighty problem, which, while moving, in opposite directions, yet strive for the same ultimate goal. The first Is the legal extinction of the unlit, one process of accomplishing which Is by permanent sequestration. Degenerates are principally increased and perpetuated by the inexorable law of heredity, and the aim in this permanent sequestration would simply be to thus control reproduc tion. But while on the face of it logical and decisive, and mechanically rendering such morbid transmission impossible, ac tual experience establishes the theory as being very limited In operation. "The other conspicuous method of striv ing to minimize the evils and volume of feeble-mlndedness Is summarized in one word education." The potent results of alcoholism and consanguineous marriages in producing children of defective intellect was dwelt upon by the speaker. "The danger of such marriages is that the combination Is likely to contain slml. lar defects and tendencies on both sides. wnicn are tnus transmitted in an lntensl fled form." said Dr. Williamson. "Tht duty of Oregon to her feeble minded may be. in conclusion, defined as follows: "First To cause the knowledge of the physical and moral ills that generate and transmit defectiveness and feeble-mlnd edness among mankind to be systemat ically disseminated among both young and old In connection with the responsl- Diuues oi marriage. "Second To Impart specific teaching to the young as to the particular vices and habits and diseases that tend to beret degeneracy, together with their far-reacb- ing consequences. Third To erect suitable buildings as scnoois or institutions or training, em ploy expert trained help and teachers. sparing no reasonable efTort to improve and develop the minds and render these children as nearly as may be self-sup- poning. t ourui sequestration snouia be se cured, not alone for itself, but for Its educational advantages, while the dis quieting and discreditable spectacle of placing such children among the Insane should be discontinued. "Fifth There should be three methods of securing such educational advantages: By voluntary request of the individual concerned, by application of friends or relatives, or by petition of some duly au- monsM omcer. dui in every instance the action to be authorized by some retpon clble Judicial procedure." After the papers had been read the Brest dent pro tern. Dr. Stephen S. TVlse, called upon Dr Woods Hutchinson, the State Health commissioner. "I emphasize the fact that the state should take care of its weaklings." said Dr. Hutchinson. "It has always been a mark of the dominant race to care for the unfit, and it is our duty to do it. As a member of tte State Board of Health. I can promise you the entire support of the board In the work which you are doing." Dr. Mary Thompson said that in almost every case a feeble-minded child was cap able of development. The one talent they possessed should be scientifically culti vated. Rev. Jenkln Lloyd Jones thought that in every public school a room should be set aside for stupid children. In several of the Chicago schools he said this had been done with excellent results. Three papers occupied the conference during the session yesterday morning. They were by Mrs. Thomas Clark, of the Oregon State School for Deaf Mutes, who told Interestingly of the work in that in stitution, while 'Truancy. Its Causes and Cure." was the subject of W. T. Gardner, superintendent of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Oregon. Dr. E. P. Geary, the Multnomah County Physician, delivered a paper on "County Hospitals and Their Relation to Public Health." Professor Frank RIgler, City Superintendent of Schools, opened the discussion upon tru ancy. In the afternoon the papers upon the work for feeble-minded children were read and the officers for the year elected. Fol lowing is the result of the election: Presi dent. Dr. T. L. Eliot: first vice-president. Dr. Stephen S. Wise; second vice-president. Mrs. L. W. Sltton; third vice-president. W. T. Gardner: secretary, Mrs. M. IL Trumbull; treasurer. W. R. Walpole. An executive committee as follows was selected: T. N. Strong. Dr. A. C Smith. Dr. E. P. Geary, all of Portland; Dr. C E. Smith, of Umatilla; Thomas Clarke, of Salem. The conference closed last evening with addresses by Rev. E. T. St. Pierre, chap plain of the Salem penitentiary, and Dr. Hiram W. Thomas, president of the Con gress of Religions. Mr. St. Pierre spoke of the work among the prisoners, while Dr. Thomas subject was 'The Law of Service." Musical selections were given by Mrs. A. C Sheldon, Dom J. 2a n. Miss Frances Gill and Miss Louise Blerr. Mayor Will iams was to address the meeting, but was unable to be present. PRIZES AWARDED. Highland Improvement Association Cleaning Up That District. The Highland Improvement Association held an interesting meeting last night in the basement-room of the Highland School building. There was a large at tendance of the School children and their parents. The Important features of the evening were the fine talk of G. M. Hy land, of the American Civic League, and the wording of prizes to the best letters on the subject of local Improvements. C E. Miller, president, presided. A short programme was rendered. It was opened by a song by five little folks. Miss Irene Stokes gave a solo that was heartily ap plauded. The club drill. Miss Freda Blelck. conductress, was very creditable, which was followed by a duet by Mrs. potter and Bessie Blelck. Mr. Hyland was introduced and held the attention of the audience for half an hour. He told what the children bad done toward beautifying Dayton. O., and said the same thing can be done in Portland. At the close of Mr. Hyland's talk, the audience gave htm a rote of thanks. Mrs. W. a Cutler then read the letters that had been received from the children of the neighborhood on Improvement, and awarded the following prizes: Irene Sco- bee. aged 3 years, first prize: Annie Schledcmann, 13 years, second prize; Katie Douls. 13 years, third prize; Chris tina Hahn. 11 years, fourth prize; Marie Douls. 7 years, fifth prize; Emma Hahn. 6 years sixth prize. The letter receiving first prize was as follows: Highland Improvement Association To begin our Improvements, we sold our chickens, because chickens and Improve ments ao not go well together. Then we began work. I picked up HI tin cans. It was hard work, for there were spiders in them, and I am afraid of them. The tin cans are already to be picked up by the committee. We sets lots of bulbs, violets, sweet- peas and other flowers. Then I raked the yard till I was tired, and It does look some better. And papa Is going to tear down the old woodshed; and we are go ing to keep on improving. If you don't believe this. Just watch our home on the corner of Hendricks and Going. Tours truly. IRENE SCOBEE." After the awarding of the prize, on mo tion of A. F. FlegeL a committee was ap pointed to see to the removal of the nlles of old rubbish ' that has been gathered. H. "W. Goddard offered plants to all who would come to hla home for them. G. M. Hyland offered two prizes of fine woolen flags to any boy or girl in the Highland who would make the finest Im provement In garden of flowers or vege tables or lawn between April IS and July. The children who take part In this con test must give in their names to the com mittee by the lath of the month. The committee will then Inspect the premises where the Improvement Is to be made. At the end of the time the two flags will be awarded to the winners. The association then adjourned to meet at the call of the president. CHANGED HIM TO A BLACK Boys Play StranR-e Prank on a Drunken Hobo. I didn't think I was as drunk as that." mused a hobs yesterday, as he awoke from n long sleep on the cold hard bicycle path near the Vancouver bridge. The hobo had been as white cs any man when he started out for his spree, but when he awoke yesterday afternoon he was as black as the most ahiny son of Africa. The police know that this drunk did" MORE THAN HALF. Sailer from Coffee Drinking;. Coffee does not net up disease with all people using it. on the other hand it ab solutely does create disease in mousanos and thousands of cases perfectly well authenticated and traceable directly to coffee and nothing else. This statement may hurt the feelings of some coffee drinkers but the facts are exactly what they are. Make Inquiry of some of your coffee drinking friends and you may be certain of one thing, one half of tbem, yes more than half, sutler from some sort of in cipient or chronic disease. If you want to prove It's the coffee, or would prefer to prove' it is not the coffee In these cases, take coffee away from those per' sons for from ten days to a month, don't change the food In any other way but give them Postum Food Coffee, and the proof of whether coffee has been the trouble or not will be placed before you in unmistakable terms. A young lady In the St. Mary's Acad' emy. Winnipeg. Can. says: "One of our teachers suffered a long while from In digestion. She was a coffee drinker. She became worse steadily and finally was reduced to a point where the stom ach did not retain any food, then elec tricity was tried without avail. She. of course, grew weak very fast and the doc tor said the cause was practically Incur able. "About that time I was attracted to a statement In one of the papers regard ing the poisonous effect of coffee and the value of Postum Food Coffee. The state ment was not extravagant but couched In terms that won my confidence and aroused me to the belief that It was true. I persuaded our teacher to leave off the morning cup of coffee altogether and use Postum Food Coffee. "A change took place. She began to get better. She has now regained her strength and Is able to eat almost every kind of food and has taken her position as teacher again." Name given by Post um Cp Battle Creek. Mich. A FEU REMOVAL SALE PIES !

I am afraid he Is dead," came a weak and gentle voice over the telephone yesterday afternoon. Captain Gritzmacber dispatched PoUcemnn Kollish at once to the scene, but the man had gone. Inquiry about the neighborhood brought out the fact that a man had been asleep on the bicycle path nearly the entire afternoon. A crowd of boys passing had decided to take advantage of the man's helpless con dition and play a trick on him. Their first move was to secure a large amount of soot. Armed with this and some' rags they commenced to change the sleeper's form from white to black. Not content with blacking his face and bands, they stripped him of his clothes and left, him , shivering with cold . but changed to a black man. No one admits having seen him after he awoke, and the policeman was unable to find any track of him after he left his sleeping place.
