Story OF A NewSboy.

When uBig Tim" Sullivan,
senator of the state of New York,
made his annual distribution of
strong shoes and wollen socks to
the poor of the Bowery on Feb. 6,
he was cclebra ting the anniversary
of an impor tant event in his life.
In the days when Him" sold papers
along Park row he used to make
frantic efforts to attend the old FL m
street school. He was an earnest
pupil, they say, but he had to
hustle and was rather an infrequent
attendant.
One cold, wet morning his teach
er arrived to find him in the class
room half an hour ahead of time,
and she questioned him. vim"
explained tn at he bad been ont with
his papers all morning and that his
badly worn shoes were wet. He
said he had come into the classroom
to warm his feet.
The teacher sympathized, gave
him a note 10 shoe de aler in
Canal Street, Near the Bowery, and
uTim" reported we'll shod, later IN
the day. The date was Feb. g.

Children who are uInnately dull"
must be accepted as Just that.
They arc often, especially in
European countries and among our
own immigrants, the defendants of
long line of peasant tillers of the
soil from whom mental effort has
never been demanded. Not nee
essarily feeble minded, but inev-
itably slow minded, they fill their
destined positions in life very well,
but are not fitted for hard mental
labor. We subject them to need
less cruelty when We urge them into
competition with the alert and
quick wiited. 1t is characteristic
of the innately dull that after reach
lug certain grade in school, they
stop short, and thereafter simply
mark, time TO the evaporation and
despair of the teachers.
Children whose dulness is
acquired are more tragic figures, for
talent, capacity and even genius
might have been theirs. They are
the victims of CONSERVATION, I'M
pairment of the special senses, or
arrested development through dis
ease. The innately dull should be
taught in a class by themselves,
because it is unfair TO urge them
beyond the limit Of their mental
strength as il is to hold brighter
children back for them. but the
cases of acquired dulness must be
judged each by itself. Spec,acles
will often turn a stupid child into a
clever one: SO will the removal of
adenoids. and the change from
Sc mistarvalion to plentiful and
nou,ishing diet will often work the
same miracle.

eAckwtEd Chidred.

The conclusions of men of science
who have lately been giving much
attention to dull and backward
children have made a great change
in the attitude of physicians and
teachers toward them. Recent
researches by school medical officers
an England have led 10 the tentative
conclusion that about ten per cent.
of the children in the elementary
schools may be classed as udull. 4"
We can all remember how little
effort was made a few years ago to
deal scientifically with this class.
Many an unfortunate child, who was
doing the best he could, spent most
of his school Ife in ounces cap,
aud much other cruel injustice was
unwittingiy done ON the assumption
thai all dull aud backward children
were lazy and obstinate,
An English expert suggests that
these children should be devided, to
begin with, into two classes-those
whose duiness is "innate'' and those
whose dulness is acquired" Once
this classification Is made, We see
that form Of treatment suita Bile
for the frs; csupot be also for the
second.

"ls II Right to Do That?"

This question is constantly put to

Correcting Heredity.

Not so long ago people lived IN
abject fear of the bogy of physical
inheritance, for they believed that
The sins and weakness of the father
were visited in the most literal sense
upon the children. They thought
that the law was an iron one from
which there could be no appeal.
We are wiser now, and happier, for
we. have found out that in the mat
ter of disease heredity does not
determine our fate, but merely
marks an avoidable tendency.
Just as the poor mans son may
become a millionaire, so the sick
mans son may become a man rich
in health and strength; although in
either case the man concerned will
have to work hard and fight many
battles. To the human being deter
mined to win the prize OF health,
the knowledge of inherited tsnden-
cies to disease will be in itself an
advantage. Being forewarned, he
is forearmed.
y person who knows that his
mother and perhaps an aunt or two
have died of tuberculosis will from
The beginning throw up defenses
against that particular enemy. He
wall live day and night in fresh air,
eat suitable food, wear proper
clothes, and so live that his inherit
ed tendency will grow yearly less,
until by and by he is in no danger
of contracting tuberculosis. He
did not inherit it; he never had It;
and finally, by sensible living he
has eliminated the disposition to-
ward it from his tissues. Much the
same may be said to those who feal
that they have inherited an appetite
for alcohol, which is observed in
some (by no means in alb of the
children of drunkards, and to those
who think that they have a predis
position to govt.
1t must be remembered, however
that Nature is not always direct il
her attacks, she is capable o.
innumerable flank movements anC
surprises. The children of the
dipsomaniac may find themselve.
assaulted with rheumatism; those o
equity parents may be attacked by
tuberculosis. Vigilance is the pric,
not only of liberty bot of health.
In this fight against inherited
physical tendencies, we not onl,
gain health for ourselves, but benei

own tendency TO govt is likely to
have children still less liable to The
disease than himself, and so OIL

is certain that true wisdom for our
