) Parker Saws Nation Must Lean on Schools Check Crime

ascertained through sad error II is that
he cannot intelligently utilize medical
learning in his own person. II Is as
of course, that all those cases
which would be bettered by custodial
care in proper institutions would be sent
there, and that those cases constituting a
menace to the community would likewise
be eliminated from the school. Yet this
leaves an enormous mass or cases detect
ed by the hypothetical medical board
which the school must handle.
"Of the feeble-minded group. even
within the state there Is provision for only
about 10 per cent. This permits one to
guess about what percentage OF other
groups could be accommodated by state
institutions.
Literally, 1t means that the school,
must take care not only Of those among
the 80 per cent whom It may well care
for, but also of very considerable pro-
portion of the 40 per cent for whom Gus
todial care is required in many instances
and yet may not be afforded.

large city. But this Is really no excuse.
Numbers must not be permitted to excuse
improbable defects. We find the school
reports in a large city giving adequate
records of scholastic ability, which means
only the results of tests Of production.
We find department grouped under de-
scriptive terms stating the child is good
or bad or ndifferent-extremely general,
in other words. We find essential items,
such as disposition, permitted an ex-
tremely brief one or two inches for the
cancellations Of the teacher. The
physical status and examination are quite
amply covered
But the story OF the development Of
the child from year to year; his relation
to his teacher to his fellow pupils; his
attitude to his work; individual differ
ences in the manner of work; variations
OF all his qualities as seen in changing
reactions-in fact, of the whole curve Of
growth-we get no continuous picture.
FAULT OF A SYSTEM.
And this is not the fault Of the
teacher. The teachers are much over
worked individuals. The number of petty
clerical details imposed upon them is
enormous-details that distract and de-
tract. The good teacher has strong in
terest in the child or she wouldn't stick
TO the Job of teaching. Yet this interest
I'm the child is shattered and diffused, in
stead OF being made more intelligent and
coherent through that study Of the child
which extends beyond his scholastic per-
formances.
There is not good teacher who could
not at the end of a year write most
Illuminating, instructive and vitality i'm
portant critique on any given child in her
classroom. Yet at the end Of the year
this valuable material is carefully busted
out Of her head because IL isn't used. II
is then apparent that we have in the
schools the possibilities of a rarely valu-
able continuous history, added to by each
successive teacher along the entire curve
OF mental growth.
Without calling attention to the in
trinsic value of such a history for the
pedagogue, We can see its usefulness and
necessity for the study of that go per
cent juvenile delinquent.
Given a history of that kind, within
the hands OF the proper reformatory man,
and you have increased his efficiency be-
yond measure and enabled a percentage
recovery TO be obtained which would now
be designated as a dream. A history OF
this kind read by trained mind would
show the spots upon which the index OF
determination would be laid.
And al this work, generalized as
study, is criminal application Of the anti
social tendency, its reactions and develop
ment. In other words, IT would tell why
criminality came and trace its varied
steps through the cooperation OF the con-
tInuous history by the teacher and its in
depreciation and analysis by the trained
psychiatric."
But how about the preventive side OF
this story" DR.. Parker was asked. Are
these applications going to teach us any
thing about the prevention OF criminal
ity?"

In actual operation. II is expect
ed that the Parcel Post will bring
the factory and the farm into closer
touch with the consumer, and that
II may reduce the cost OF living. The
largest city and the most obscure
hamlet alike will enjoy the advan-
tages OF the Parcel Post. II will be
open to all on precisely equal terms.
The new system will be a direct
competitor OF the express companies,
