child is first taken in hand for proper treatment, and It's final disposition in the proper place for its training. A backward or mentally deficient child will suffer from either alternative of two pos sible courses. Misunderstood at school, uncared for at home, with no attempt at a remedy under the vain and vague de- fusion that he Twill outgrow his dull- ness," he is allowed to roam the streets. to pick up bad habits, to deteriorate steadily mentally and physically until a precocious aptitude for crime lands him in some penal institution or an early acquired shiftlessness enlists him in the great army of ne'er-do- wells or beggars. In either case he becomes a threat and burden to the community.
 The opposite method of treatment usu- ally springs from the ambition of the parents. Knowing the best sides of thsir children, they are painfully lothe to be- lieve the child of their ambitious hopes cannot only never realize them, but act ually must be assigned to that fearful class known as .weak-minded." Seix- ing upon the child's marvellous memory for obscure and detached details, or upon its wonderful musical ability. the parents well upon these qualities. To their minds 1t must be faxiness, or inattention. or carelessness that prevents advance at school They press the poor. weak brain to tasks entirely beyond 1t. They harass and torment the child until high-grade imbecility falls to the abysmal gloom of idiocy.
 There are 10000 children in the United

States in this class and one-tenth of all children are below par mentally. Already Tn the public schools of Philadelphia 460 such children have been found and are under special observation. How many of them are being deprived of any education because of their lack of mentality and therefore roam the streets at will, no one knows. Certain it Is that every hamlet, every village. every town and every large city has It's quota of chill dren designated as "foolish," silly" mot all there," or Hacking in the upper story Heretofore they have been thought to be objects of special visitations of providence, accepted as burdens by their parents or by the community and no special effort made or even thought of for the alleviation of their condition. In this wide field the psychological clinic finds its unique function. It instructs popular opinion and by opening the door of opportunity compels the guardians of such children to take the proper means of which they are capable. In almost every case this is at least to the point of self-support and assuredly in every case the saving of the individual from untold suffering.
 Out of such public agitation must eventually grow legislation which will not only expend itself in housing, feed ing and training imbecilss, but will see to 1t that the community protects itself by careful segregation and prohibition of marriage among those known to Dc sub normal

POTASH TRUST IS UP ID SOME NEW TRICKS German Monopoly Tries to Fool American Farmers SENDING OUT LETTERS Effort Is Made By Heads of Trust to Deceive Americans By Offering
 Potash Cheaper Than Was
 Offered Last Year
SENDING OUT LETTERS

l Atlanta, January 7-Lee Ashcraft sales manager of the International Az ricultural corporation, which is a large purchaser of the products of the in dependent potash mines, today Issued a statement concerning the 100 per cent penalty imposed on exporters of potash I by the German government. He says: Some idea of the desperate attempt being made by the German potash trust to justify the laws which they induced the German government to pass on May 10, 1910. for the purpose of destroying certain low priced contracts for potash salts that had been made by American buyers with the independent German mines who broke the potash monopoly through such sales, may be gathered from the circular letters which the of- ficers' of the potash trust are now spreading broadcast among the farm CTS of the United States and are en- deavoring to have signed by the farm CTS and mailed to the President of the United States. The potash trust is trying to prove It's friendship for the American farmer by selling him potash slightly cheaper than they sold 1t to him last year before the law was passed and below actual cost to the American fertilizer manufacturers af- ter paying the 100 per cent penalty tax levied against their contracts by the ex post facto law. .
 There is little chance of their de- ceiving the intelligent farmers of the United States in such matters, how
 
 their friendship for the farmer let them sell the farmer potash salts at the same prices at which the independent mines sold their potash before the pas sage of the law. Under the law the mines of the potash trust do not have to pay the penalty tax assessed against the output of the independent mines, and the American farmer has the right to ask them why the prices which they are now making to them net the mines of the potash trust prices 100 per cent independent mines sold American buy CTS before the passage of the law
 We believe the Anne rican farmer, if compelled to pay this extra 100 per cent. would prefer to pay 1t to the German government as penalty tax, rather than have 1t go to swell the earnings of the mines comprising the German potash trust, which induced the German government to pass the lrlRw.
 We think the potash trust will have to devise some better method than this Elf they hope to deceive the American farmer or the President of the Unit ed States as to their real position to- ward American cohsumers of potasl1.'''

KING GEoRGn,s NURSE
His Majesty Calls Her From Her ver-
 mont Home

From the Granville l4l. Y.) Sentinel. | As 8 reward for the love and care she
 lavished on him in infancy King George V of England has summoned from her humble little cottage in Poultney Mrs. Ann Roberts, once his nurse, that she may spend the remaining days of her | life where he, as King, can personally I see that she has every comfort that
 monarch can bestow upon her. In the village of Bethesda Wales, the King 1 has selected an abode befitting Mrs. Rob- crts. as a nurse to royalty, and within
 the course of month the old lady will wend her way to Engand's shores, to | be with .her little boy" as she affcc- | tionately calls Englands ruler. For sew | eral years Mrs. Roberts has been living in Poultney among the hills of the Green
 Mountain state. She came to America to visit her brother, Richard Edmunds, who for 70 years has been a resident of the Vermont town.
 Her career, nevertheless, overshadows
 that of any woman who has ever been in the confidence of England's rulers of the British peerage. From the place of the young wife of dairyman to that of the confidante of kings and queens, the associate and adviser of princes and princesses. the friend and valued compan- ion of the most distinguished of Eng lands peerage, and latterly to the place of simple and obscure inhabitant of a New England village is this woman's re- markable life story.
 Mrs. Roberts is one of those who have had greatness thrust upon them" When young girl she went up to London to
 seek service. young tradesman short
 ly afterward marrier her and they set
 up housekeeping in the city a short dis tance from Buckingham palace. Among the friends of the young Welsh girl in London was Mrs. Jones, a Welsh wom- an, and a favorite with Queen Victoria.
 This woman had household position
 with the royal family.
 Almost coincident with the approach ing birth of young Prince George, Mrs. Roberts herself was about to become a mother, and one night in dream she thought she had been selected to nurse the expected child of royalty. The dream SO impressed her that when she saw her friend, Mrs. Jones, she related everything to her. Also with the dream there had come to her the seemingly impossible am- hition to actually nurse Princess Alexan- dras child and this she conf1ded to her influential friend.
 Mrs. Jones instantly told her that if this was her ambition 1t should be grat. flied. Soon after there came the birth of Mrs. Roberts child. a girl, and with in a few days after she received com mand to report to pr. Farr. one of the royal physicians, where she was formal ly pronounced able to undertake the work of nursing the expected child of the princess.
 While nursing King George Mrs. Rob- erts own child died. The fidelity of the nurse of the infant prince cost her the ereatest tol Ia mother can pay.

 The psychological clinic Is best described by comparison with the medical clinic Both are to help the patient as speedily as is consistent with the best results in permanent health. Both must face condi- tions and not theories. Their diagnosis, therefore, must be as concise and precise as practical demands and actual condi- tions permit. Decisive action is often of the first importance. In the medical clin- ic life may be in danger; in the psycho- logical clinic mental health may be inn periled because of an already too long delay to take proper measures. Delicate and extensive laboratory tests are out of the quetsion except in special cases.

 A fine, healthy boy, 14 years old. was brought by a grade teacher in March, 1896, to pr. Lightner Witmer at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania for advice con cerning his chronic bad spelling. The teacher assumed that psychology should be able to find the cause of the falling and advise ways for removing 1t. From that time the psychological clinic has con- tinued its work.
 The boy was three years behind his proper school grade because of his excess sively poor reading and spelling though in other respects he was normal. He read .'was'' as ''saw," ''weather' as water" |" His uncertainty of single letters led Dr. Witmer to look for some defect of vision The suspicion was confirmed by holding several fingers before the boys face.
