500 NEWARK PUPILS;

Miss Nina Anderson Calls Attention to Alarming Condition.
Situation May Grow Beyond Control of the State, Says
Charities Commissioner j. P. Meyers.

The normal citizens OF New Jersey
are liable to be overwhelmed in the
alarming Increase in the feeble-mind-
ed and insane classes If the facts are
as serious as the speakers made out
in their talk at the semi-annual
meeting of a board of managers of
the State Charities Aid and Prison
Reform Association, held in the Pub
lie Library yesterday afternoon.
Miss Nina Anderson, supervisor of
the defective classes in the public
schools of Newark, stated in her talk
that there are 500 children in New
ark who indicate clearly that they
should be given special care and
treatment. not only during school
hours, but during their entire lives,
but who are not receiving the kind
of personal training and physical
care which their mental condition
demands. Some of the simplest mat
ters relating to their physical wants.
and habits demand custodial treat
ment, which cannot be given them in
the public schools during the short
hours when they are in the school
room.
Miss Anderson said with some
alarm that if all parts of New Jersey
have as many such children proper
tionately, New Jersey must have at
present thousands of such children
who will, after the age of Is, become
a grave menac to society.
Conditions Become Alarming.
]. P. Byers, State commissioner of
charities, when asked to state his
views upon this condition, could only
supplement these alarming state
ments of Miss Anderson. He said
that every day his mail contained
an average of four applications for
relief from the burden of feeble
minded people, Many of these APP
plications come from Newark, due,
probably, he thinks, to this very
work of the public schools in caring
for detectives, which brings out to
public light many cases which here
tofore have been hidden away n
unknown. The State, he maintained,
will soon be totally unable to make
provision for this alarming number
of feeble-minded people.
Professor tombstone of the Vine
land School for Predetermined, which
has now reached its limit in popula-
ton, was asked what the solution of
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1912-10-23

this problem might be. He replied
that he could see no other way out
but for the county to make provision
for the training of the trainable Zee
bleminded and permanent CUSTODIAN
care of all such when they the
age when it would be dangerous Tor
them to be at large to propagate their
kind.
Influenced by Heredity.
Miss Elizabeth Moore of the Re-
search department of the state HOS
pital for Insane at Trenton, by the
aid of charts illustrated some of the
interesting facts that are being dis
covered in tracing out the family re-
lationships which lead to the belief
of the development of insanity
through hereditary influences. Taking
a case in the hospital and following
up the family history, 1t was found
that there have been insane
of the family running back through
three and four generations. BY as
sembiing these facts family trees
have been created which show ten,
twenty and often over a hundred IN
sane persons distinctly ~traceable to
a source.
Miss Moore opined that the cause
of insanity may often be found to be
due to the environment of the indl-
viduals and their manner of living.
She discovered one man over 80
years of age apparently normal and
well-respected in his neighbofhood,
who had seven children, all of whom
became inmates of insane hospitals.
While the family tree indicated that
this man came of neurotic stock, the
further TACT was discovered that ne
had kept a country tavern most OF
his life, and possibly the environment
had something to do with the insan-
ity of his children. She stated thai
abuse in the use of alcoholic liquors
was a constant known source of in
sanity. and illustrated this by many
specific examples. The discussion of
the commitment laws of the State re-
lating to the insane was touched
upon as we'll as the subject of the
almshouses and the relief of the de
pendent poor through the administra-
ton of the new poor laws.
1t was decided by the board to dis
cuss these conditions in their annual
report to the Governor, with recon-
n.endations for legislative action to
remedy them.

We have built a tuberculosis hospital,
which has been the means of not only
p%rolonging many a life, but also has
saved many. We have built many

to no other.
Under Democratic administration
we have inaugurated a system of IN
surfing our own property and already
there has been a saving OF over

able many a bond issue to be taken
up out of its own funds. Look at our

CONGRESSMAN Kin<ead Speaks.
Congressman Eugene Il. Kinkead
was introduced Immediately after the
cheering for Mayor Haussling had
subsidized. Congressman Kinkead paid
a glowing tribute to Mayor Hauss-
ling and in emphatic language denied
that any man could point to him and
saw he was controlled. He told of
his travels through the big cities of
this country and Europe, and said he
did not fear to state openly that in
no place in which he had been of an
equal size of Newark had he found
less vice or immortality. The Con-
gresham referred to Samuel Wilson,
known as the vice investigator" and
told of the personal knowledge of his
work.
Congressman Kinkead said: 81

years ana | know that he himself
controls his every act and that it is
in the interest of the people of New
ark. There is nc man or set of men

he came to the conclusion thai it was
a leak.
The building committee secured
Samuel P. Waldron, of e. NJ. Waldron
& Co., to look into it. He watched
the ceilings during the heaviest
storms and said that not a drop of
rain entered the building.
Richard Green, of the Charles Pitts
Company, which contracted for the
roof thing, flooded the roof for six
days without finding a leak.
George Ding, a sub-contractor, then
did some detective work for himself.
He climbed upon a ladder and in
vestigated the spot closely. The first
thing he discovered was that it was
perfectly dry. That was also the last
thing he discovered.
The members of the board aren't
quite willing to abandon science and
say the spot is uncaused. but they
are wavering. If it isn't a spook it's
a spook's footprint.

When is a spot not a spot?
The answer seems to be: When 1t is
on the ceilings of the Morton Street
Public School.
1t is the very ghost of a mark, with
all the tangibility of a phantom. Yet
it is so real while il lasts that the
nerves Of the Board of Education are
fairly frazzled.
The mysterious spot has existed in
one place or another about the build
ing for a year. When 1t appears to

else.

Mr.. Kinkead then went on to tell
of the fight Samuel Wilson waged In

Wittpenn was returned with a double

"Have you ever heard anyone
charge the Mayor with being dis

him with being lacking in intelli-
gence or integrity? These would be
substantial charges and also libelous.

Mr.. Kinkead then told of his ex-
p~erience in dealing with the liberal
Sunday question and also told his
hearers of the issues on which he
stood to be reelected to Congress in
the Eighth District. In straightfor-
ward language he told how he had
voted for every important measure
during his membership in Congress
and would not change a single vote at
present If he had the opportunity.
