of dealing with bad children, having a
theory that he felt might be proved prac-
tical,in Surgeons case, inquired in detail
into the boys history. After much patience
it came out that the boy had once fallen
from hay loft while playing, and had
struck on his head
That was enough to satisfy Mr..
Marsh. To the parents, beside them
selves with worry over their boys ap-
parent innate criminal tendencies, Mr..
Marsh explained that it was his belief
that much of the downright badness of
children is due solely to physical defects
operating adversely on the brain. Re-
move these defects, he went on, give the
bad children normal machines, take away
the abnormalities that irritate them into
so-called natural badness, and their be-
havior will become normal with their
bodies. Gas for your boy" he said, in
substance, Il firmly believe that the fall
from the hay loft has made him the
terror he is by causing the skull in some
place to press unduly on the brain,
thereby keeping it from acting normally.
Let me have him removed to the city
for examination by the best surgeons
procurable.' ~
The consent of the parents was gained,
and Sturgeon was infroducedto clinic
at one Of Philadelphia's leading hospitals
by DR.. Ernest Laolace. Then it was
discovered that at gre point the skull
! was seemingly slightly depressed To
make sure beyond pcradventure of a
doubt, the little patients head was
shaved, careful measurements were
taken with delicate instruments. The
depression was there, but slight, so
slight, in fact, as to escape any except
scientific examination
At the point Of depression Dr. Iaplace
trephined the skull, thus removing the
pressure on the brain. After two months
spent in the hospital Sturgeon was sent
home, with the wound in his head
healed That was more than FIVE months
ago, and the reports from his parents
in that time show that he is no longer
a terror Stunned as formerly BY old
and young, but very lovable and nor
mai youngster in every respect, the play
mate Of the young Of his neighborhood
and the pet Of the old folks. All Nara
reth backs up the statements Of the par
ents ard marvels as much as they at
the Transformation Of Sturgeon from an
;rve-erate little criminal into a town
model"
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1906-11-22

Did you ever have your father say
to you, when you had been more pesti-
ferrous than wicked, Young man, if you
don't behave better Til have to take you
to the doctor and get him to cut the
badness out Of your"
Of course, he was just joking; the
broad wink you caught him making at
your mother told you that; and you Just
looked boldly up into his face and as
boldly laughed; and presently-it was
mighty good joke-the stern look on
his face melted and his gruff chuckle
was joined with your scoAing merriment
and mothers gentle smile.
And now as you look back on this joke
of threat sprung on you, heaven knows
how many times, and always ending in
fun for all, and for yourself most Of all,
won't you be just bit sorry to learn
that it is joke no longer, that at last
they are really cutting the BAD out Of
boys and girls, vertically Transforming
them from little terrors into models Of
the Sunday school type.
Il IS in Philadelphia that they are do
ing this; not in isolated cases, but as
systematically and as scientifically as a
druggist puts up the prescriptions
brought into him.
The Pennsylvania Society to Protect
Children from Cruelty was the pioneer
in the movement to make the old joke
no longer. a joke, but a grim reality.
Now, working with the society are the
Quaker City's Board of Health, its
Board OF Education, its Department OF
Public Charities and Correction, the
iudees of its Juvenile Court, and its
leading surgeons and medical specialists.
With all these forces. arrayed against
them, the chronically bad boys and girls
of William Penis town are not likely
to remain very long unregenerate-
granted, OF course, that their parents
win be only too glad to let the badness
be cut out of their trouble-giving off,
spring.
The wonders that have been worked
IN the short time that the new method
of Staining terrors' has been in opera
ton, are, to use hackneyed phrase,
well-nigh unbelievable.
Take the case Of Sturgeon Welty as
representative
Spurgeon lives with his parents at
Nazareth, Pa, small town short dis
lance removed from Philadelphia AT
the time he came under the notice OF
the cruelty society he was universally
recognized as the baddest boy in his neck
o the woods. He was SO bad that he
xloried in his badness; and when boy
does that he is about as bad as made

cruelty society, and the man who SIS

vast majority have been bad, or, as the
socioIogists put it, "of the immoral or
the criminal type" About FIVE per cent
were suffering from adenoid growth.
"An adenoid is fungoid growth, gen
orally accompanied by hypertrophied
tonsil, forming at the back Of the nose
and forcing the child to breathe through
its mouth. BY reflex action, they have
an irritating effect on the brain" These
are the words Of DR. A. c. Butcher, one
Of the Board Of Health's surgeons work
ing with the cruelty society. To remove
an adenoid growth is matter Of simple
surgery, and il IS matter Of record that
every child 50 operated on BY the society
has changed for the better, physically,
mentally and morally in a surprisingly
short time.
More often than otherwise the physi-
cal defect 10 be removed By the knife

"He was an involuntary criminal
says Mr.. Marsh; "the pressure on his
brain made him So Now that has been
removed, his brain acts normally, and
he is good, because he has all the good
tendencies Of the physically normal child,
there being no ailnent present to warp
these innate tendencies"
Every child that now comes under the
care of Mr.. Marshs society is first sub
jected to searching examination in or
der that its physical condition in every
part of the body may be aseertained.
This examination is made BY two physi-
clans connected with the city's Board Of
Health. After il has been completed the
child passes into the hands of DR.. Al
fred Gordon, an expert in nervous dis
eases, for the mental examination; this
is as thorough as the physical. In addi-
ton to these examinations every effort
is made TO become familiar with the
child's family history as far back as its
grandparents on both sides. This is not
always easy to learn. Some parents re-
fuse to give the slightest bit of inforrna-
ton Others are TOO ignorant to make
intelligent answer TO the questions asked.
Still others have deserted their offspring
and cannot be located. A history Of this
sort frequently helps the examining ply
sicians and surgeons to arrive at the
proper decision regarding the ehilds

treatment Take the case Of Spurgeon
Welty Until Mr. Marsh learned Of his
fall from the hay loft there was no clew
as to-why he-was so atrociously bad.
The various examinations are con-
Quoted along lines laid down by DR.. s.
Weir Mitchell, the country's most ia
nous nerve specialist; DR.. Francis X.
Dercum, who ranks close to DR.. Mitchell,
and nine other well known specialists. The
blanks used in the various examinations
were prepared largely by DR.. Mitchell
himself; this is especially true of the
blanks used in the mental examination,
d. ing, as it does, with the nervous con-
dition of the subject.
A fraction less than thirty per cent Of
the children examined have been found
to be normal and Of the more than sew
enty per cent discovered to be suffering

Weeds in Brandon.
CNanitoba) Sun.

From the Brandon CManitoba) Sun.
Never in the history Of Brandon have
such abndant crops of weeds been seen on
the boulevards and streets OF the city as
today. Although empowered to compel
property owners to cut every weed and
thus abate the nuisance, the council and
police force have made no sincere effort
to enforce the law. AS a consequence, all
over the city the weed nuisance has be-
come a scandal and a menace to lawns
and gardens. Seeds by the million are now
being deposited, insuring a greater crop
than ever next summer. In case of this
sort, where the general good is in the eye
of the wide-awake civic representative un-
ity of action is desirable The legislation
provided to subdue the weed evil is sufii-
GENTLY drastic to attain the object in view;
but one summer of neglect greatly aug
ments the difficulty of determination. Why
the council hesitates to tackle the problem
of extinction passes ones comprehension.
1t has the machinery to provide a remedy
for the nuisance. and all 1t needs to do Is
to make every property owner. no matter
what his rank or station, live up to the
law. +.

Libelous Valentines.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Philadelphia comic valentine case has
reached another interesting stage. 1t be-
gan with the sending of the offending mis-
sive last February, and was then enlivened
by the recipients lawyer demanding that
the sender be brought into court to answer
to the charge Of criminal libel. Both the
complainant and defendant are women and
related by marriage, and the proceedings
show an added bitterness on this account
Several months after the charge was made
the grand jury returned bill of indict-
ment, and then the lawyer for the defense
filed demurrer to have this Indictment
quashed But the judge refused to sustain
1t. He declared that valentines of the char
acter of the one under discussion, in which
the recipient was alluded to as a scandal
monger, a busybody, mischiefmaker, af-
ford ample grounds for suits of the char
acter instituted, and that when such a Ii
belous valentine leaves the senders possess
sion it is clearly in circulation according to
the letter of the law.
1t is possible that this Philadelphia case
will prove a warning and a deterrent for
those persons who, under cloak of anonym-
ity, use the so-called comic valentine as
means Of venting their malice. If SO, 1t will
not be prosecuted in vain.

Imported English Gardens.
From the New York Press.


Up at Ophir farm the gardeners are
busy fashioning an old-fashioned English
plot designed after one in the queens pri-
vate grounds at Windsor. Mrs. Reid has
been in ecstasies over the English gardens.
and she has dispatched many flowers,
shrubs and trees to her home on the Hud-
son and she hopes that they will be in full
beauty when she returns from her foreign
sojourn. Trailing arbutus, so rare, in this
country, Is to form the drapery for sum-
mer house, and the English favorites,
fuschias. coral honeysuckle and hawthorn,
are to make the hedges radiant and some
eighteen or twenty varieties of old-fash-
toned flowers which Queen Alexandria es-
pecially affects. Most Of these blossoms
are ignored in American gardens, but are
pretty, nevertheless, and Mrs. Reid hopes
to make her new Windsor garden one Of the
loveliest spots In her beautiful home.
