find that the term 'anti-social classes

than a name.
"In a strict sociological sense this
would imply the relation OF one mind TO
the other minds in the social aggregate,

interest has been worked out. But the
question OF determining the meaning OF
the anti-social mind within the individual
as a genetic study has come more from
comparatively recent work OF the Wen

from any other source.
"Freuds theories cannot be entered into
here in any general way. There need be
mentioned only this fact-that the child's
first social adaptation is TO the father
and TO the mother; that conscious atti-
tudes to the parents are demonstrable al
as early an age as three, and that the
issuing OF these relations and the inter-
nretations developed by the child on that
basis form the foundation of his later
mental growth and his character forma-
ton.

fact, its Importance is tremendous.

tlnuous history OF the Juvenile delin-
quents life. There is no background
against which he stands on which the
trained mind could distinguish determin-
Ing mental factors.
CLEARLY, then, we need some such con-
tinuous history of every youth. The ques-
ton raises itself. Where should such
history originate?
THE family is too uncertain a source
to be considered, especially within the
class from which the juvenile delinquent
is drawn. The Church cannot serve, be-
cause there is no fixity OF relation here.
Departments of health cannot be used,
for their frank intention is the handling
only OF the sick. Departments Of charity
are circumscribed, both as to the social
conditions, comprising really a limited
group, and by reason of the episode
handling of the child. 1t lacks continuity.
The one department TO which the child
is consigned by statute is the Department
OF Education.
Compulsory education makes the child
the ward of the state Being the first
step from the home, It's relation to the
home Is most Intimate. Because OF the
continuity Of observation, from the sixth
to the fourteenth year, 1t has a super
vision over the mental growth Of that
child. Moreover. the attitude Of the child
to the school is natural. The school
serves as substituted authority for the
parent The collective life of the child
permits It to present a fairly natural
picture for observation Clearly, II any
one department has TO deal with the child
and comes to know the child, it is the
school department. II any department Is
TO give a continuous history OF the child,
It Is this same school department.
TT is worth while pausing for mo-
ment to inquire just how far such con-
tnuous history Is possible. One can i'm
medlately hear violent protests that 1t Is
impossible because OF the vast number or
children within a school department Of

VOCATIONAL MISFITs.

There are more vocational insists that
have to do with subsequent rupture with
society than we dream OF. And 1t is all
due to our own stupidity. Also mark
that this failure Of adjustment with So
ciety precipitated by this misft Is really
operative because OF the underlying and
uncorrected anti-social feeling of the In
dividual. In other words, the systematic
direction Of the child along the lines laid
down Of Itself guarantees the finding OF
the developed youth In that line OF work
he is best fitted to pursue. There is no
manner of doubt that the degree OF pre-
vention thus achieved would be enormous
Another very substantial dertvative OF
this work lies in the extension OF a men"
tai hygiene from this natural focus The

work OF this kind, applied TO the larger
group of the juvenile delinquent presents
a very difficult problem" replied Dr.
Parker. "a typical American query
would be, in the first place: Does 1t work

must be briefly stated, without due eX-
PLANTATION, that II does work, and con-
tains In itself both the greatest measure
OF self-repect in emancpating the ndi-
vidual from vicious mental conflicts and
their results, and that also 1t affords to
society the most complete knowledge OF
the individual whom 1t seeks to correct
with the best manner for this correction.
"A real difficulty, however, in the prob
lem literally lies in it's present limited
range of application. This limitation re-
sides in the fact that We have no con-

the paranoid cases-the assassins, the
qucrulent, those who sustain grievances
against the state, against society in gen.
eral. Because they can, from time to
time, adapt themselves to their environ
ment and because conflict with their
environment periodically appears, they
are extremely dangerous citizens. As a
class they are hard to get hold Of because
of their quite sufficient mental capabili-
tics to defend themselves. They are
clever and astute.
Now this entire group, which will run
from 25 to 40 per cent, are pointed to by
PSYCHOLOGISTS as a rather satisfactory con-
tribution, of their work. 1t leaves only
about 70 per cent or 90 per cent uneX-

in the early period, and its growth

changes of the criminal only in the light
of deviation from that normal.
1T is needless, OF course, to remind one
here that heredity is not forgotten in this
estimate, for in certain percentage OF
cases it must present as permitting

TRAINING AND TENDENCY.

in tackling this general problem OF pre-
vention. then, the teacher has an innnite
amount of work to do, based on the ad-
vlsement and determination Of the medi-
cal arm. One Of the fundamental princi-
pies in handling the anti-social youth
rests in making his training coincide with
his real desires and tendencies. In con-
nection with this, II must be recalled that
the isolation and fixing by the teacher OF
these real desires come through tho very
process of NATURALIZATION expressed to

linauent the observer Is constantly struck
with the history Of vocational mistakes
and slips of all kinds. The boy 10 un-

social feeling and attitude. The conec-

which we carefully label criminal act
We view It as q sudden appearance OF
something evil and strange, when every
part Of its formation can be seen In the
light Of that perverted mental develop
ment which has been in front OF US.
This opens up directly into the related
problem of vocation. All schools are
making strenuous endeavors toward the
extension of vocational work, and are
therefore greatly to be commended. but
it is sngularly sad to note how the really
important part of this work is neglected.
BY that mean there Is only the most
rudmentary attempt to make the voca-
tional effort coincide with the boys trend.
II is really not a tremendous improve
ment to turn out a perfectly useless

the distinguishing Of varied mental devil
ations was a matter for the medical man
and not the pedagogue, and, because the
distinguishing OF these characteristics
has fallen within that department DOM

therefore, that this function, rightly medi-

III these factors, built up around the
antI-sociaI mind, can be distinguished
early. why should their development be
permitted? This is the big story OF pre-
yention" replied Or. Parker.
1T is apparent now that the child SUI
fers from mental maladaptations when
are possible of early detection. II this be
so, what, then, are the means within the
range OF the school department TO make
possible the matter OF detection and the
subsequent readjustment|
Right here let me remind you that we
are not discussing the treatment OF III
orally sick child. 1t is not proposed that
the Department of Education turn itself
into a Department of Health, with the
functions added thereby. There is no
question here OF handling in this 60 per
cent group cases which either require
custodial care or demand more favorable
environment than the school can AFFORD.
The first necessity of detection and de-
termination must rest In the teacher pro-
ceeding along that line which shall give
a continuation history such as l nave
mentioned for every child.
THE inadequacies Immediately discerned
by the teacher through such an analysis
should then fall within the expert advise
ment of specially trained medical officers,
who may afford their direction In isola-
ton OF definite types and the develop
ment OF special pedagogical procedures
and environments made possible by spe-
cial classes and special methods.
The organization Of this department
within the Department OF Education
should be built up in comprehensive
manner and permit of infinite exten-
sion. The policy Of niggardlness. of pet
tiness In providing for the extension and
thorough foundation Of such a depart
ment cannot be too strongly condemned.
Yet the blame for such policy can
scarcely, with real justice be laid to the
average Board OF Education, because for
clear vision there is required always a
thorough, substantial and specialized
understanding Of the problem. In the In
finite wisdom Of the appointing powers
such qualities are rarely included.
