Mr. Fisher Returns
From Studying Abroad
Edward Fisher, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Fisher of this city, re
lates many Interesting incidents in
Ins life abroad. He spent the past
year in Nantes, France, studying
music and French. Mr. Fisher
returned home by way of Spain,
Cuba and Mexico, a trip which
takes approximately 22 days, and
he visited many points of interest.
His parents, who have been visit
ing extensively in' California, met
him in Los Angeles and returned
to Salem with him.
It has been expressed by critics,
both in this country and abroad,
that the Salem boy has exception
al musical talent, and possesses a
bass voice of rare quality. Mr.
Fisher, who was with his uncle.
Fred C. Fisher, American consul
located at Nantes, attended Beri
Htz school of French language
which, like other schools of its
type in many large cities in
France, features private instruc
tion. The young Salem musician ex
presses the opinion that a great
deal may be gained in studying
abroad. He states that French
instructors are more thorough
than those in the states. Nantes
affords splendid opportunities for
hearing fine operas and excellent
singers.

There is little danger from Mon

raise children. In this case all
four of these children are Idiots.
"There is a general impression

"You cannot edacate a feeble
minded person, but' you can in
struct them. They can remember
what you tell them. We have two
children whose parents are scaool
teachers. They are able to get
certificates to teach school. They
have to be born with intellect, or
they should be at the institution.
What we call a high grade boy
(highest type of feeble minded
ness) is not usually sent to the
institution, but high grade girls
are sent fhere. A girl or boy who
does not understand has to back
down.
"For example, some of you
might visit the school and say you
thought this or that girl seemed
almost normal and wouldn't it be
a good plan to put her into some
one's home to work. They are be
low normal, are primitive people,
and if they can't keep up they
have to back down. We have ad
vanced beyond them.
"Nine-tenths of the feeble mind
ed people are criminals because
they don't know any better! A
great many of these people are
dishonest, will steal because they
don't know any better. More than
half of them have illigitimate
children. Judge Olson says no
normal.. person commits a crime.
They have to be subnormal or ab
normal. "A vast majority of crime is
produced by people who" are not
normal. Not all feeble mindid
people are criminals. Some chil
dren out there are honest. It is
hard to pick out the high grade
of feeble minded people.
"England is the cleanest nation
in the world. England has gotten
rid of a large per cent of her
feeble minded people through
capital punishment; also by send
ing them to the United States and
to Australia. We are reaping the
benefit of what England has done.
More murders are committed in
Chicago and New York than in all
the British.Isles. What the Unit
ed States . tries to do now and
what should have been done, is
to have every immigrant examined
as to his mentality and keep those
at home who are not capable of
making good citizens.
"The remedy is pretty hard to
get at. One way to wipe all this
out is to stop propogation. Sixty
per cent of the people who get
divorces are. one or the other,
feeble minded. There should be
a law agaansc people marrying
who are feeble minded. We have
a law in Marion county preventing
couples who are feeble minded
from securing a marriage certifi
cate, if the party who knows this
fact reports to the county clerk.
The clerk cannot issue a certifi
