Science Has New Task Saving Boys From Crime
Medical Experts To Study Ways Qf Redeeming Delinquent Youths
By HOWARD W. BLAKE SLEE (
Associated Press Scene Editor'
WARWICK, N. T. (AP) Some
times It's chickens, sometimes auto
mobiles, sometimes baseball that re
deem a boy from crime that much
they know from the records at the
Nt York State Training School for
Boys here.
But why one little Incident should
succeed, out of scores of equally simple-
ones that fall, no one knows,
not even the wisest scientist In the
world.
That Is one reason why one of the
world's greatest scientific Institutions,
the Columbia University Medical Cen
ter, will take over the scientific care
of these boys' health this fall.
Experts to Visit Boys
It Is announced as the first time
a great medical Institution "has tak
en over a penological unit for such
Intimate co-operation and scientific
study. Not merely one or two ex
perts, but most of the staff heads of
the Medical Center, will become act
ive caretakers, visiting the boys In
person, seeking whether there are
now unknown rule for directing boy
health so as to turn potential crimi
nals Into good citizens.
That Is by no means all. Similar
work will be undertaken by neurolo
gists experts In nerves and brain
from the Neurological Institute of
New York, and by scientists from the
School of Denal and Oral Surgery,
and the New York State Psychiatric
Institute and Hospital.
Control Is Keywork
By fall there are expected to be
about 500 delinquent boys at War
wick. They live under the program
of Robert Rosenblum, superintend
ent,, no bars, no fences, all sorts of
opportunities to . learn skilled hand
work.
But because this Is a penological
institution, these boys are "con
trolled." "Control" Is the all-Important
measuring stick of the scien
tist, usually wholly lacking when
studying human beings. It Is the op
portunity to check the true value of
a treatment of one person by com
parison with something else done for
another living under like conditions.
The redeeming chickens were a
flock given to the care of Smoky,
a negro boy, who Imagined his par
ents had forgotten him and who was
drifting In grief toward suicide. No
occupation Interested him until the
baby chickens arrived. Now he has
love of life and ambition.
The autos were shop work for Tony,
a white boy, whose father Is In the
penitentiary, mother poverty stricken,
slaters sorrowful, a family disinte
grating, with disastrous effects on
Tony. Other occupations failed to
touch him greatly, but In the auto
shop his character seemed to change.
Now his letters home and to his fath
er are the rallying points of having
his family. . 1
Baseball did equally as much for
Stubanother white boy, after work
had failed. ..
How great is the field of unknown
factors Involved in such cases Is
hinted by Dr. Prederck Tilney, noted
neurologist of Columbia university,
one of the scientists who will visit
Warwick regularly. He thinks civil
ized man at present develops only
one -filth of his brain possibilities.
He predicts man Is "probably not
bound to these delinquencies In perpetuity."

Scientists have taken up a new prohler.i saving boys from a potential life of crime and turning them Into
substantial citizens. Experts from the Columbia University Medical Center this fall will take over the scien
tific care of the health of delinquent boys at the Warwick, N. Y., State Training School (center) and srek
to find proper methods for redeeming youths. Boys at the school (above) are taught occupations. They live
In cottages and there are no bars or fences. - - '
WASHINGTON (AP) A trap that
can be set to catch only animals cf
a certain weight, and is harmless xo
smaller anlmala or bird, has been ln
ranted by Albert M. Day of the ie
partment of agriculture.
An adjustable spring makes it pos
sible to set an ordinary steel trap u
spring only when wolves,' bobcats,
coyotes and other predatory animals
of similar weight step Into It.
The new attachment Is designed to
prevent loss of time and effort when
traps are set in carefully-chosen
spots for predatory animals are sprung
by rabbits, porcupines, foxes and oth
er comparatively small and Inoffens
ive creatures. These unwanted clv
tlms often warn the larger animals
away and make the trap site worth
less for a long time.
