Mental Defectives Is , Haphazard Endeavor : Federal Children's Bureau Emphasizes Need of Standard , tzation of Care of This Class of' Unfortunates jrf All Parts of the United States, By Jeannettm Rankin. (Oueeifwomm (row Hntut.) IN ITS efforts to promote the building i up of a wholesome race of people find to minimize the human wreck . axe which now abounds throughout the ; country, the chlldrens' bureau at Waah .' lug ton has made a partial survey of ' the problem of mental deficiency which - promises to be significant in its eiiect. ' Already, as it result of the study made thus. far, the bureau has shown In it . Tecent publication, "Mental Defectives y in the District of Columbia," the P palling social ravages or feeble-mind' utiuu utii ArtLXvrt nart&ln' definite conclusions as to the sort of care re quired to check its amazing and con tlnuous Increase. Feebls-mindednes Implies a defect In the mental processes of the individ ual due to an Incompetent development . of the brain, and is' either Inherited or ' appears very early In the life of the "Individual, Persons thus handicapped " may be generally classified in three grades, ranging from the lowest type f idiocy to the highest type of moron. According to the classification of the American Association for the Study of Feeble-Minded, the lowest type (idiots) Includes those so deeply defective that their mental, development never ex ceeds that of a normal child of about 2 years. The intermediate type (imbe ciles) includes those whose develop ment is higher than that of the Idiot, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about 7 years. And the high- - est type (morons) includes those whose mental development is above that of an . Imbecile, but does not exceed that of a v normal child of about 12 years. The Idiots and imbeciles are so pro nounced in their deficiency as to be realtively harmless to society, except h they are non-productive economlo f Hctorr. The moron, on the other hand, appears to be normal, because his men ".'ttl deficiency is not eo startling as it .v is in the lower types. However, owing to their general instability, their in ability to recognize any moral code. their thwarted intelligence and their hick of judgment they are unable to noia an inoustriai position mr any length of time, and they are dangerous to society, not only because they are susceptible to the vicious Influences of our social structure, but because they are more or leas certain" to become the apices of a feeble-minded progeny of appalling numbers. . Our Jails and prisons are filled with Creatures of this type. A few, falling prey to the evil forces of society, com mit serious crimes, and are imprisoned with long sentences. Finally they are released, but only to go abroad and re peat their misdeeds, and they are even tually brought back into penal institu tions. The large majority, however, are to be numbered among the petty criminals, . .They axe "serving time' In jails all over the country 60 days for "non-support," ).0 days for vagrancy, a few days for drunkenness, and told to move on." Society, falling to recog nise the problem of the feeble-minded, has accorded them the same treatment as is accorded to persons of normal mentality. . ' Left to himself, the feeble-minded individual is as naive as a child. With out restraint, with all his natural ten dencies unleashed, he knows no respect for society. He is a negative creature, knowing only such positive impulses as are prompted by his environment. Without power to compete with the forces of society, and left to find his own place - In the community, he la forced by the pressure of social com- plexlUes to the lowest depths of exist ence, and he goes about unprotected, prop pat In g his kind with alarming freedom. - ; Mt has been shown by experimenta tion that, owine to their negative char- -- aeffer, feeble-minded persons need not be so expensive to society as they have been, in the past, and that under super Vision they cannot only be protected against the degrading forces of society, but ' they can be taught to be a self- ! supporting, positive economlo factor. This, however, is possible only under permanent custodial care. In segregat ed Institutions; and, although it im plies a substantial financial outlay for a state to provide proper Institutions, the result mors than justifies the ini tial expense, economically, as well as socially. . Although 24 states have already pro vided institutions for the care of the feeble-minded, accommodating alto . gether approximately 25,000 persons, they are far from adequate, and cannot begin to take care of the hundreds of thousands of mental defectives who , are now the victims of the most de grading Influences In society.

Bold aver wW. institutions have- not been standardised in method and equipment, and their scope has for the most part been ex ceedingly limited. ' In order that a community may pro tect itself against the weaknesses of the feeble-minded, a survey of the men tal defectives in each state should be made, with a -view to determining their number and making provisions for their protection. They will be found in amasing numbers in almost every community. It has been estimated that 2 per cent of all the school children In the United States are mentally defec tive, as are a comparatively large per cent or ail adults. In the District of Columbia an in complete survey showed 798 cases of mental defect, or 0.2 per cent of the en etnihe population. Four hundred and twenty-eight of these axe at large in the community, and only 87 of them are in institutions especially designed for their care. Thirty-three per cent of the entire number of mental defec tives are negroes, although, the colored residents of the district comprise only ss.s per cent or the total population, owing to lack of adequate accommoda tions, many of these defectives are either "boarded out," or are sheltered in institutions which, were not designed for their care, such as reformatories, Hospitals and homes for dependents. Many of these unfortunate defectives are being cared for in their own homes by poverty-ridden families, who. can scarcely bear the burden of these non earnins individuals, wno demand so much care and supervision. Many are attending regular schools, and are re tardlng the progress of their grades by their inability to comprehend what is being taught. Those who are at large have ehown by their susceptibility to evn inriuence that there is a definite connection between mental defect and delinquency. AH of them have demon strated the need for custodial care in fairness to themselves and to the com munlty. In seeking to standardize the care o mental defectives throughout the Unit ed States, and to show the practical economy or adequate provisions for their care, the children's bureau has outlined the organization of simple and practical institutions now caring for ine reeDie-minded. and has DOinted out the successful treatment of the prob lem by such institutions as the Vine land, N. J., Training school, the School ior me feeble-Minded at Waverly, Mass., and others. In which the plan of organisation Is followed, com bining a custodial department, train ing school, industrial department and farm. The establishment, of farm colonies. With ample acreage, is especially rec ommended, 'in which able-bodied per sons may till the soil under supervi sion and may not only furnish provi sions for the Institution, but may help to support It by establishing a regular farm Industry. Simple carpentry may also be taught, and with a reasonable amount of direction the Inmates are aDie to build cottages and barns and to be engaged In useful and remunerative occupations. A proper recognition of the problem of the feeble-minded and adequate steps to control it are fundamental to the progress of society. There Is much to be done In this line in practically every state in the union, and much valuable Information as to practical procedure can be obtained by writing to the children's bureau at Washing ton, Communications will be welcomed, and cooperation in efforts to provide adequate facilities for caring for men tal defectives will be eagerly extended. PLANS FOR BABY WEEK Set for May 1-6. . Washington. March 24. (U. P. Plans to make Baby week celebrations throughout the country this year from way 1 to May , a huge educational movement for the reduction of mortal ity among women at childbirth are under way at the children's bureau of the department of labor today. Baby week celebrations in the sast have been directed more towards re- auelng infant mortality. The , fact, however, that 16,000 mothers are dy ln annually from conditions Incident to childbirth has opened up an even greater problem, the bureau an nounced. Ignorance and neglect are the prime cause tor this high mortal ley. "Many women," one official at the bureau said, "do not seem to reaUse how muoh their own health and the health of their children depends on the Intelligent care of the mother before her baby is born. Baby week can help mothers in various ways and It wtUl be made the starting point, this year, for certain concrete activities."' Plans now being completed, will In clude centers for mothers living in the country to gather and take pre-natal educational work. The needs of rural mothers are less generally understood than those of city mothers and a rural nursing service is urged as one means' of reducing the mortality rate in sec tions far removed from the city.

(OopTrfgtt. 1917, by Ulllaa EswU.) LIKE an electric current. Joy and happiness thrill the muscles and nerves of youthful bodies. Under their Influence boys and girls kick up their heels, clasp their hands and dance, but aged persons, while they may smile with the lips and twinkling eyes, are less effusive. When the spirit that gladdens the hearts of all fails to vibrate through your system, you can rest assured that age has you In ts grip. Some people refuse to yield fully to the Influence of joy and happiness be cause they believe It would be undig nified to follow, such a course. As people acquire age, society does not expect them to permit their legs and arms to express the happiness in their hearts. They are supposed to be too dignified for such a performance, but what respect has youth for this sort of dignity T Girls laugh, clap their hands and throw their arms about each other when they are JoyfuL Their happi ness overcomes them. It brightens and sweetens their eyes and faces and tints their oheeks. They permit their happiness to run riot, and are not ashamed of it And why should they be ashamed? What eye, no matter how withered It may be, is not de lighted by the sight of a happy and animated girl? It Is natural for women to sing when they are happy. The angels are always pictured as singing in their happiness. Such song ia evidence of Joy, and Is an outward Indication of the spirit that controls the body. Why isn't it Just as natural to class the hands and, dance? It is quite as rea sonable to permit our feet and hands to be Joyful as our vocal cords. It Is healthful to be happy and Jov- ous. Depression and pessimism make worK for the doctors.

It Is better to sang tnan to groan and comnlaJn . We encounter a great variety of dis positions and natures. No two seoDle seem to be Just alike, but it is never difficult to separate the light-hearted from those who continually wear lode stones about the necks of their spirits. When the hearts of young girls bub ble over with Joy and place every muscle in their bodies in action, you can feast your eyes upon the person ification of happiness. Let the youth ful spirit you witness reach your heart and mind and take a few years off your shoulders. So do not attempt to suppress the spirit of joy that so open ly manifests Its presence. Of course, girls can do many things that would be beneath the diglnty of older women, but women should, not u- via rv oWrvJMiEsa.. um vjz - I I I: J 1 V J r .

"f" ,f, V of Japanese Alphabet for Marking Linen ft Mf - permit formality, absurd conventions, ' dignity and the craving arms of old age to squeeze the Joy out of their hearts, and they should not be so un fair and unreasonable as to expect girls to fully suppress their joyous spirits. "Go home and be happy." was the Instruction given by a doctor to a patient who sought relief from nerv ousness. Happiness Is a great tonio. It is mental condition that affects the whole body. It is hardly necessary to urge young- people to be happy. It Is their inherent right to enjoy happiness, and youth has a habit of demanding its rights. Do not permit youth to monopolise all the happiness in the world merely because you are carrying a heavy bur den of years. Cultivate happiness, and you will develop health and beauty. A woman Is at her prettiest when she is happy. There is no more beautiful mantle than happiness. To Cure Insomnia. A splendid cure for fnsomnla'ls to have plenty of fresh air in your bed room, and then stretch yourself -out Ylat on your back, using no pillow Now stretch your toes down, just as far as you can, then stretch your arms down just as far as you can at the sides. Keeping this tense position. raise your right hand and close your right nostril. FiU the lungs as full as possible through the left nostril. count three and expel the air. Re turn light hand to your aide and re lax all muscles while you count 15, Go through Jhe same operation with the left hand. Do this five times, in creasing to 10 times, as you feel able. Deep Breathing Exercises. The first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, when you are clad only in your night dress, open your window and, standing straight, with your back against the wall, fill your lungs, breathing through the nos trils with the mouth closed, until your lungs are able to hold no mora Retain breath while you count four. Expel It through the nose, counting seven. Do this five times. Next stand upright and turn out the toes, so that the heels touch. Place your hands on your hips, the thumb back in the soft part of the back on either side of the spinal column. Now draw in a deep breath and force the air down, so that . you eel the air pressed out through the expansion of the lower part of the lungs. Hold the breath while counting four, expel while you count seven. Practice this movement six times. Next stand upright, head up, shoul ders thrown back, arms hanging at the Aides. Now gradually raise the arms until they are high above the head. While you are performing this move ment take a deep breath through the nostrils until the lungs can hold no I more.

Practice deep breathing constantly. Take deep Inhalations with the mouth closed, retain the breath a few seconds and exhale through the nostrils. Lay your hand on the abdomen when you take one of these deep breaths, and you will see the flattening effect upon the stomach.

Sadler. (Author of "The Mother and Her Child.") FOR even slight Indispositions and trifling disorders, ths sick child should be cared for in a room free from hangings and unnecessary fur nishings, to which dust clings. Clear off the dresser top. and after it Is pro tected with several thicknesses of newspaper, cover well with a folded sheet. It then becomes a useful piece of sickroom furnishing for basins of water, s-lasses and medicines, which may be placed on it without danger of injury to its polished surface. Take everything out of the room that Is going to be in your way. In in stances of infections or contagious disease replace valuable curtains with inexpensive ones that may be burned if necessary, and remove valuable paint ings, brlc-a-brao that later fumigation will harm or that gather dust during the days of illness. Remember that ths little one is to be In this room anywhere from a month to six weeks in case of contagious dis eases, so put up soma attractive. bright-colored pictures on the wall and have an abundance of books and maga zines for his amusement during the shut-in days of , convalescence. A few simple toys. Including transfer plo tures, picture puzzles and kindergarten papers, will help to pass away the long hours. A lot of fun can be got out of a buncfh of burrs that can be stuck to gether to make men. animals. houses, etc. Every now and then we read of an accidental fatality because of a mis placed poison bottle. Such aoci dents are all prevented by a bit of fore thought. The medicine chest should be so placed that it is outside the reach of the smaller members of the family.

For instance, there are bot- ties that have been molded with points of glass projecting from the outside. which make them rough to tne toucn. and others are covered with a wire mesh or wicker. Such poisons ss lysoi. bichloride of mercury and carbolic acid should be kept only In such bottles, so that even In the dark they may never be mistaken for ordinary medicine bottles. Absorbent cotton, borio acid, alcohol, olive oil. soda mint tablets, vaseline zinc ointment, gauze bandages, needle and thread, sterile gauze, a package of baking soda, an ice bag. a hot water bottle, and other remedies ths physi cian orders should be in the medicine chest. Aside from the giving of castor oil and the application of vaseline to the nose, or applying boraclc acid to the eyes, no medicine should be adminis tered to ths baby without - competent advice. We regret that there are nu- merous widely advertised nostrums irequenuy soia as soounng urups to be used during the teething or during attacks of yllarrhea or cough spasms. croup or worms that contain dangerous drugs, and should not be given to children. Many well-meaning, but ignorant, mothers are slowly, but surely, laying the foundations for serious nervous disorders, and are often making dope fiends out of their little children. In the hands of ignorant people patent medicines are dangerous things. If you are going to give medicine to your little people, at least know what is in It, Let some conscientious, scientific physician examine ths baby and pre scribe for Its needs. Under no circum stances administer a patent medicine without first carefully reading the label, for the federal food and drug act requires ths manufacturer of patent medicines to print plainly on th label of the bottle the name and amount of certain dangerous drugs which It may J contain. iness oangerous orugs are cniorai hydrate, cocaine, heroin, chloroform. eucain, opium, morphine, alcohol, can nabis Indies, or any derivatives of preparations of any such substances contained therein. : Mothers, avoid patent medicines: con sult your physician.

Effect of the War on the . t Status of Modern Woman Revolutionary Aspect of European Struggle Will Radically Alter Social Conditions,) the -End That Woman May Come Into the Ascendency. EVER sines the days when in the prehistoric Jungle the woman lost control of the family the cave man has had his . day; He has gone out and captu red, his, wife with a club. More lately na urns wooed her witn more manners but, with equal super iority. He has been the ruler: he the one to. take her and shelter her; she the one to "honor and obey"; her father the one to give her away. Many women have . objected stren uously to the obvious disadvantages for their' sex in the present system of marriage, and now Ellsa Burt Gamble, the famous student of femi nine - history . and psychology and an authority -upon sociology, says that the great European war will destroy. marriage as it now exists and will really emancipate women from the in fluence of the cava man type of captor. As this war rolls on year after year and the total of the dead men mounts higher and higher the future of wom en, indeed, becomes mors - and more of a question. St Sk The millions of men who die and leave widows, fiancees . or women with whom - they In 'normal times would have married will leave a huge hole in the social life of Euro pa Will the women thus left mateless re fuse to go through life without love or without children? Will they hold to former standards of conduct and observe the old rules of morality? Will they be content to be spinsters all their lives? Miss Gamble says: "After the war only the most robust among women will propagate the raceN These wom en, as did the women under early or ganised society, wlH choose their mates. They wilt exercise absolute control over the sex functions. Thus will be avoided the terrible conse quences which have resulted from the present form of marriage. "The system of marriage in vogue at the present time has never re stricted men to the possession of a single woman. Monogamy as estab lished under male supremacy means one husband for one woman, while a man may hava as many women ss he is able or willing to support. As wom en are still dependent upon men for the necessities of life the supply of the former Is regulated by the Je mando of the latter. "Marriage still retains Its original meaning and adgnificanoe namely, the ownership and control of women. With the exception of physical force all the ceremonies, customs, ideas and usages of primitive marriages have been pre served. When a woman marries she .:s 'given' to her husband by her father or some other male relative. She promises to obey her master and ac cepts a ring as a badge of her depend ence upon him. She reUnaudshes her own name and family, accepting as her own the name and family of her hus band. Sha follows him to his home.

Until women are .economt- cally . free they will remain sexual slaves. "Of all the forms of human slavery which have ever bees devised there has probably never been one so degrading as is that which has feeon practiced . within the marital relation, nor on in whloh the extrication of the enslaved - has been a matter of such utter hope lea an ess. The present struggle of women for freedom shows how deeply rooted Is the instinct which demands their subjection." According- to these opinions of the author, which appear In her new book, . "The Sexes in Science and History." published by G. P. Putnam' Sons, women todfcy are Immeasurably lower in position than they were ages ago and they have been miserably de graded. "Notwithstanding the fact that dur ing the last SS year marked progress is observed in the social and econ omlo progress of women, still the sex- ual position of ths great mass of wom en has steadily declined. So far as her , sex relations are concerned civilised woman occupies a lower position tlian that occupied by the female, animal. The traffic in women is carried on in every country on ths earth. Our sexual conditions and our present' economic and Industrial situation loud ly proclaim the degeneracy of . our ' ttma" That the current war will have some effect upon woman's position It generally believed. It Is too revolu tionary to be otherwise. The Frenca ,' revolution did much to dear away the . degeneracy of the French nobility. This fact tends to give weight to Miss Gamble's statement regarding the sureness of a change. "Ths European war has greater pos sibilities for changing social conditions than ths revolution. Twenty-five mil lion men have been called away from the industrial work of Europe, and - yet." Miss Gamble says, "the removal of these men will not materially inter fere with the useful industries of Europe, as Is shown in the fact that their withdrawal has not greatly dis turbed the industrial situation, and this, too, notwithstanding the fact that many new occupations have been cre ated by war. The work formerly done by these men has been largely taken up by women. "It should be borne in mind thst under the new conditions which are approaching the constructive element developed in human society Is again to . assume command over the destructive forces which have been in control sine the beginning of the historic period. As this element has been con fided to women and as it is by them transmitted to offspring, it Is not difficult to forecast the position which the women of the future will occupy." MM. f. a. M.
