PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1938. CLINIC PROVIDED Aid for All Children Between Ages of 6 and 14 In Learning Or Behaviour Problems Is Objective Beginning In September, the child guidance clinic as provided for by the Oregon etate legislature, will be available to children of Jackaon coun ty, O. R. Bowman, superintendent of Jackson county achoola, announced yesterday. The clinic Is financed by state funds and Is conducted by the staff of the Oregon State university med ical school. Allen East la the director. As rapidly a organization can be effected, all parts of the state will have this service, which la free. The general purpose of U.e clinic Is to help all children between the ages of six and 14, who are either learning or behavior problems. It should not be confused with similar state clinic services which are also new being given and which are re signed to help physically handicapped and tubercular children, and to check auditory, visual and dental defects. At Parents' Request. j Two or three clinics in each or-1 ganlzed group will be held yearly likewise a behavior problem Is such beeauss of one or more of a number of causes quite generally understood. Many Causes. "No branch of modern science la barred from supplying the reasons and causes found ranging all the way from social maladjustments, the ef fects of which are best understood by the psychiatrist, to visual, hearing and other physical defect best un derstood and many times first de tected by the physician. Extraneous and more or less contributory condi tions are also checked by visiting nurses and by teachers. AH forces. defects, Influence and conditions are noted and assembled and these, to gether with the results of the mod' ern psycho-metric tests used in all our best schools, make an Intelligent background for clinic workora. "As In the case of the doctor who has msde a thorough diagnosis and who prescribes the treatment, so the clinic worker also prescribes a treat ment which varies all the way from special teaching techniques to read justment of envorlnments and to medical treatment. Value Understood. "Jackson county knows the value of these clinics and already has on file the records of many young peo ple who have been taken perma nently out of the realm of apparent hopelessness." The Jackson county committee la composed of Dr. dordon McCracken. president of the Jacksoc County Med ical association; O. R. Bowman, sup erintendent of county schools; Eu gene Thorndlke, Jackson county board of health; Dr. A. E. Merkel, Jackson county health officer: George A. Briscoe, superintendent of Ash land schools; Mrs. Jack Heyland, rep resenting the Parent-Teacher asso ciation; Judge Earl B. Day of the Jackson county court; Miss Mildred T. Carlton, president of the Jackson County Public Health association; nd nn to 20 children, including those . being presented for recheck, will be ! Mra- J- C. S. Wcllls, representing the seen at each one of these. Two psy chiatrists who are also physicians, to gether with nurses and clerical at tendants, will conduct them clinics. and only those children will be en tered whose parents are both desir ous and willing to have the advantagr of this service. Children r;ill be re ferred for this service by private doc tors, health workers, teachers and nurses, after a proper check ha been msde on the c&m. Record and gen eral office work of the clinic will center in the office of the county health physician, Dr. A, E. Merkel. located In the health department rooms In the courthouse. The benefits and results of work of this type are so definitely estab lished that all the educational auth orltles as well as those Interested In the heslth and social conditions of our county welcome the Inauguration of this work on the basis rf a def inite function and responslolllty of our state," Mr. Bowman stated. Jackson county for several years past has, through the effort of the Public Health association ' and the County Medical association- held cltnica of this nature, made possible by the very generous attitude of Dra. Henry Dixon and Dr. Richard B Dllle hunt of Portland, who have given their time and services free. The facilities of the Alex Sparrow Me morial clinic, together with th avail ability of county nurses and doctors serving Id public health work here, give to Jackson county an unusually fine opportunity to conduct these clinics under the most fnvorabte con ditions. Purpose Outlined. In order that the public generally may understand the ultimate purpose of the work that the state guidance clinic Is attempting, the following statement was given by Mr. Bowman. Time was when a school pupil who failed to learn was simply ao eepted as more or leas hopeless, either as respects all school work or some particular phase such as reading. Time waa when a pupil who was a behavior problem either in his ad justment to the school or the home, or to society generally, waa considered bad and accepted as mora or less hopeless. "Modern treatment of these prob lems la quite analogous to the method followed by the modern physician, and generally follows a defln.te pro cedure. The patient Is checked for symptoms, these Indicate or lead to the discovery 01 causes, and causes give cluea to definite treatments. The guidance clinlo follows broadly such procedure because It Is now estab lished that a non-learner Is a non learner for one or more of a group of generally understood reason, and same organization, and E.

S. C. CORVALLIS, Aug. II. (AP) A larger percentage of girls among the newcomers this fall Is In prospect, B. B. Lemon, registrar at Oregon State College, eatd after scanning admission statistics. This means that the "rooks" are not going to have as much trouble getting dates! Prospects are for an entering class somewhat larger than last year ana total enrollment at least as large as a year ago, depending on the "mor tality" among former students. Slow ing up of business conditions hsd apparently failed to check the in crease In credentials of students en tering from high schools or other Institutions as compared with a year ago. Boys outnumbered girls among ad mission permit holders last year at this time In the proportion of about 60 to 40. This year the proportion is only about 55 to 46. Hop Agreement signed PORTLAND.
