THE STUPID CHILD.

him the special training that he needs.

self? asks the Kansas City World. Win
you by special effort help him to be
come a useful and respected citizen. or
viii you allow him to be ridiculed by
his playmates and, through discour-
agement and chagrin. become a bur
den to society, either as worthless
ne'erdo-well or as an outright Grim
nal?
This is a serious problem. II is a
hopeful sign that high minded men
and, women are attempting TO solve
IT, For several years Boston has been
paying special attention to the educa-
ton of dehe eent children New York
is beginning TO do this and other cities
are considering IT,
The investigation in New York
shows that from ! 90 per cent of the
children in the public schools are men
tally deficient There are thus in New
York alone from 5000 TO 10000 chill
dren that are handicapped by our pres
ent methods Of teaching and that need
the care of specially trained teachers.
The causes of this mental deficiency
are numerous. Il may be hereditary;
It may be improper food or physical
defects. tobacco. liquor tea and coffee
There are a great many causes, but il
Is not impossible TO remove them by
the right kind Of training
What are you go ng to do with the
stupid child? As our schools are now
conducted, he is always at the tag end
Of his classes. He retards the prog
ress Of his classmates and annoys his
teachers. He is different from his fel-
lows. He can't keep up, and he Is
dropped from class to class until he
loses hope and gradually drifts into the
lfe Of the truant or the criminal
Il is not to be supposed that all OF
the mentally deficient children Of the
country are in New York and Boston.

Of which demons never dreamed.
A yellow fever terror in the old days
scared asunder all but the very strong

The dying we're forsaken to die

Human nature was. as It we're, cast

There were marvellous instances Of

The dead, deserted by friends and
kindred. were by public employees

GOOD ROADS.

Everyne should be an advocate of
good roads. says the National Fruit
Grower The farmer who hauls his
produce to market could haul larger
loads and would also be able to do
much Of his teaming and running to
town when the ground is too wet for
farming thus never losing a day in the
field. With good roads. riding for
pleasure would be a delight rather
than source Of discomfort
There is a feeling among some that
good roads are for the owners of auto
mobiles and other "land crafts but
This is grave mistake and ninety
per cent of the travel OF the public
highways is in the line OF business.
Then, too, the success Of the rural mail
delivery depends largely upJn the con
dition OF the roads and routes are laid
out along the best highways with the
same idea that prevails in cities where
mail carriers do not have TO deliver
mail on streets having no sidewalks
Then, too, land values are increased by
improving the highways. for who wish
es 20 live in a community where there
is not enterprise enough to secure good
roads? So long as the tax Is worked
CD out by the taxpayer so long will
our roads be poor Road building is a
science.
