THEIR TROtTBUES
OREGON teachers are assembled
- in their annual conference.
The i- public knows little of the
teacher's problems, v They know lit
tle about - the backward boy, in
school and what he means in dis
tress to a teacher.' -1 ,
' The backward boy means one Of
low mental capacity. He is some
times an altogether lower type of
human. - The teacher's "problem is,
Is it possible to keep him on his up
ward progress through the grades?
It seems a little thing td the public,
but every- teacher knows that-it is
often a serious problem. '
Being "without higher ideals, he
is a care, the day through. ' He in
terferes with discipline,; With sev
eral of them in a room, the problem
of the teacher becomes, distressing.
Nor is this all there is of the
problem of the backward boy. By
the time he Is half-way through the
grades he frequently lapses into
complete lassitude, so far as. his
studies are concerned. . His recita
tions are impossible. ;"A11 the coax
ing; all -the punishments, all the
correctives ; that can ; be applied,
have little effect in getting him in
terested In his . books. It . often
means Immorality and 'Wrong prac
tices outside of school. .; It often
means that he l on the street cor
ner route and headed' for the ju
venile court and maybe the jail.
But there he is in school, jyhere
the teacher-: must deal with him.
And at home the parents, some
timesnot always are expecting
the teacher to pull -him along with
his classes. Sometimes the parents
are not concerned, which is one of
the reasons so many boys are-going
astray " Oo -the- other hand,; some
of the parents are finding fault with
the teacher ;. and reporting ? the
teacher to the authorities and talk
ing about - the , teacher with ; the
neighbors, because of the 'non-
progress of the backward boy. 1
, Nor - is the backward boy .al of
the problem that besets and be
devils teachers. There is the back
ward girl. Her story is just as bad
and sad, her outlook sometimes just
as discouraging.. Many a teacher
spends anxious nights and. days for
weeks over the problem of a single

THE CRIME WAVE 1
Dr. Owens-Adair Says It Is From De
generacy, and She .Proposes
:-- a Remedy.
Portland, Dec. 27-To the Editor of
The Journal I am pleased to see your
favorable mention of the reform
measures . t come ' before K the next
legislature, ? Indeed, I feel that" it : is
time the public press should - begin
to Instruct and educate: the people as
t . the -caase of - this - great "crime
wave. Soon after the close of the
war the papers began to notice the
increase of crime,- which they attribut
ed to the - war. giving many theories
as proof. So well - has this belief been
established . that were you to askt 60
persons today: what.; is the cause , of J
this great upheaval ox crune, I tnink
you would find 4 to say,Tbwar.'
What does this provat t It provea-th
press is mightier than the sword. To
my onind these terrible .conditions are
due to degeneracy.' Stop a tuoment
and think of that great crime wave
that - is gathering strength and mo
mentum every ,:, hour, s and f you will
realise- th condition. - Last, winter
I aaid to the legislature ; rWhen th
call to arms cam your sons and the
sons of men like you, rushed to the
call, were examined and sent: over
seas to be shot down.- Half a million
of those fine thoroughbreds lie in the
poppy - fields or other fields; ; While
the scrubs "boobs' v as our - soldier
boys ' called them went; ? home " to
-propagate their kind. I am publish
ing a pamphlet, to be sent out. It
will contain the text of my book,' and
also the state sterilization' bill and the
hygienic marriage ; bill. & Those ?. two
bills were framed by our attorney gen
eral. Mr. Van Winkle, not only at my
request but also at th request of our
stat eugenic board. If the press will
stand - behind " these hills they will be
come laws, and if then supported they
will be obeyed to the letter, avnd Ore

a 'customer would come through: when

farmer or to anyone who looked as
