AIDING BACKWARD CHILDREN

In this day of progressive thought, so-called facts are not being gener- ally accepted simply because some one says they are facts.
 To the contrary, many traditional |" facts" are being seriously question ed, and are being subjected to tests which may refute the popular theo- ries of years. --s
 Of course, facts are facts; if something is not fact, or true knowedge, it never was so, and the disputing of a sO-called fact, arising from a higher order of intelligence, merely shows that mistaken notion had been assumed to be fact with out having been properly tested.
 Take the case of the backward child, the one mentally and morally blunted. Not so many years ago, his condition was regarded as permanent, ineurable.
 Today, scientists, proceeding from higher order of intelligence, dispute that anything but a normal condition is fact of the ehiId's life.
 In the case of the backward child, Dr. Twitmyer, of the University of Pennsylvania, is proceeding to set lat naught the mistaken notion that such a yOungster cannot be reclaimed.
 In connection with the summer school of the university, he is train ing a class of fifteen boys and girls who are deficient in various ways. He has his own theories. which may be right or wrong, or only partly right, but he is doing scientific work because he is making tests by apply ing theory to individual eases.
 This is correct procedure and his is a noble work.
 Results in previous experiments | make safe the prediction that in his I present work be will get results.
 But the greatest value of his la Dor IS not in the good he will do for | these fifteen youngsters; it is in pushing forward by intelligent in- quiry to upset the fallacy that be- cause things seem to be so they must be accepted as facts without ques- ton or suspicion.
 What Dr. Twitmyer is doing. i'm pOrtant as it is in an educational way, is only q small part of the work which is being done generally to get at sO-called facts which un- ierlie the theory that which is, whether or not it is contrary to a normal condition, cannot be correct d. Il Dr. Twitmyer seriously questions nat it is a "fact" that a backward hild cannot be develOped-and he , questions it by scientific experiment, c

He will introduce spec ially designed skip of great capacity, with blowers and a miscellaneous equipment to be used in sinking. when the designated depth will be easily accomplished. He expressed himself in a sauguina manner over main shaft at a depth of 300 feet exposing strong ore bodies of good grade. With this satisfactory eOndi- ton established, the base of opera tiOns has been centered to the 6OOI foot level, and pending that point being reached, the present shaft work will be continued uninterruptedly. Excellent progress has been made in development since the company started operations.

will meet with a ready response from us.
 There is another thing which, l believe ought to be called to. your attention. You know in this country there is tremendous movement in the direction of good roads, and l am glad to see that California is interested in this great subject; that you are, spending your money and spend ing it lavishly in this direction. You are building magnificent highways. You want to con- tinue that good work, but I want to say that as important as good road up and down this coast may be to you, a magnificent transeontinental highway, span ming this desert between Los Angeles and Arizona is infinitely more commercially important to you.
 We are doing that work now. We are building splendid high ways. We are coming to it by levying a direct tax upon the people. We will meet you on the border of Arizona and Cali fornia within a year or a year and half with a fairly satis- factory system of highways; one that will attract to us these auto mobile tourists.
 If you have a transcontinental highway over which automobiles can come in the winter or in the early spring or in the fall, with certainty that they will not be tied up by snow drifts or buried in mud, the tourists will come here by the thousands.
 You know that your country is the great playground for our peo- pie. Annually we spend not less than $3,OOO.OOO on this coast. You help to make it pleasant for us to come.
 But you can do more and you need to do more if you want to retain our trade and help build up your own eenters of trade. You want to cement not only the ties of friendship that may exist and I hope will exist in the flu ture but yOu want to cement us together by ties of close trade relationship. We ought to be a community of interests in this southwestern country. We have so much in common.

GOVERNOR SLoAN'S
 ADVICE TO LOS ANGELES

l -AI IuAChcOH gwen III HIS uOHOI by the City club of Los Angeles, the other day, Governor Sloan delivered an exceptionally thoughtful and en- tertaining address. The esteemed Los Angeles Times, being in a sensi- tive mood, we presume, editorially complained that the governor was not sufficiently heedful of the ethics which should govern a guest, and that his sentiments were phra.ed in advice of an unwelcome nature.
 In another column We print the very appreciative and eommendatory resolutions which were adopted by the club which was addressed by the which would indicate that the Times stands alone in its ability to find something objectionable in what the Arizona executive said. Governor SlOan's address was, in fact, an eloquent plea for better understanding of the modern Arizona. After an interesting recital of facts showing the rapid development of : this territory, the governor in his ] concluding remarks ventured to make l some suggestions in support of the | proposition that Los Angeles needs Arizona more than Arizona needs Los Angeles-an of which lent added force to his suggestion that there be "a recognition of their mutuality of in- terest and that they pull together for the common good. This is what he said:
 I didn't come here to tell you
 anything about your own busi
 ness. I don't know how iner-
 chant builds up trade That
 is something out of my line, so
 far as the practical manner of
 building trade is concerned. But
 1 know that the merchants of
 Kansas City and of St. Louis
 and Chicago are alive ito this
 situation. They send live, ener-
 getic young men into every dis
 triet of Arizona, drumming up ? business, and they don't carry
 it on by correspondence either,
 and they don't expect that our
 trade is coming to them just ss a matter of course. They rec. ognize that they have compe- l tition, and competition upon this f coast. And so they are active and energetic and earnest in not : only retaining the trade they al
 ready possess but in argument
 ing and enlarging that trade. And that is the problem that confronts the bushes, men of Los O Angeles. t
 In the first place, stop pat : ronizing Us, and stop knocking I us. You don't do it in a ma lieiOus spirit, but it is q kind
 of joke with you to refer to n the climate of Arizona. Now, it nj doesn't hurt us one-half as much i, as it hurts you, because every h. man that comes to Arizona and settles, builds a home, eultivates farm, or goes into any busi- ness, only adds one more to the population tributary to the busi- ness of Los Angeles. ed
 So, if you. give us the benefit Pl of your friendship, your encour- SC agement, your aid in this behalf, dV

The mother who treats her daughter
