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. H Hed
rick, superintendent of Medford
schools.
Judge Day was named chairman of
the committee Mrs. Wet He. vice

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

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.
