Walter h. Ranger had been asked TO ad-

After brief opening exercises. Commits

Ina part as follows:
Because OF the difficulty in grouping
defective and troublesome children into
well-defned classes, there Is In the
public mind much misunderstanding
OF conditions and much confusion
OF opinion about the best means
for their betterment. The old human
habit OF putting everybody among the
good or the bad-the sheep or the goats
cannot avail in this matter.
I'VE arc coming more fully 10 recog-
nize the limitations of our graded system
OF schools in that IL does not and cannot
one OF the special classes. Providence
among all the cities of the country, has
been foremost In providing special schools
for the wayward, the dull and the back
ward; but their special needs have not
been so fully recognized in other parts
OF the state.
ALREADY the state has institutions FOL

reform schools IL has 90 beneficiaries IL

feeble-mnded may be segregated and re-
ceive proper instruction and custodia
care.
There is a group of wayward children
-unmanageable, disorderly, lacking ol
unfortunate In home training-who are
out OF place either In a graded school oi
In a reform school. Too many OF these
find they way, together with some ply
sically and mentally deficient. to the re-
form school. However humane the care
a penal institution is no place for them.
providence cares for such in a specia
school, where they may not suffer from
more vicious associates, and where they
may not interfere with the rights anC
progress OF orderly children. The prob
lem is TO make similar provisions for such
children everywhere I'm the state"
