THE, HEALT TIL OF THE AMERICAN CHILD

One of the most serious conditions un-
covered by this health supervision Of the
school child has been the discovery Of the
mentally deficient child, and the wisest
way % deal with this problem is still un-
known. The latest reports in New YORK
City show that there are approximately
fifteen thousand mentally defective chill
dren attending the public schools Of the
city. If this proportion holds good
throughout the coUntry-and reports from
various sections would seem 10 show that
il does-there are four hundred thousand
such children attending the public schools
Of the United States. These children can
not be educated in our ordinary accept
ance OF the term, they need specialized
methods in order to adjust them to their
environment. II would seem that prop
erly equipped institutions offer the only
solution for this problem. but at the pres
ent time there are not nearly enough OF
these institutions to house these thou
sands of unfortunate children, and II has
been necessary to organize special classes
for them i'm the public schools, where they
may be taught. If possible. some of the
easier trades; or, If their mentality is not
sufficiently developed for that they may
at least be kept quiet and interested by
playing simple games and learning easy
manual employment. like basket making.
New-York tribune., 1913-07-27

ress in failing to protect the mentally
twisted child from himself. We are be-
ginning TO recognize this and are using
our schools as a method. We are able to

and thus are turning him from the wrong
future and protecting society at the same

istic, but it means "A square deal for the
boy and girl who have no choice I'm their

are paying the price Of our haphazard
method OF wholesale immigration TO
land that hasn't yet LEANED the best
methods OF distribution of the influx, but
permits overcrowding in the cities and

New-York tribune., 1913-07-27
UNSETTLED ACREAGE.

In support OF his assertion he cites last
years report Of the United States Cen
eral Land Office. which shows that there
we're then 1871 acres Of surveyed
and 1854, 500 acres Of unsurveyed land,
or a total of 674255.7e7 acres in various
parts Of the country which are vacant
and open to entry and settlement.
Many Of the large railroads operating
in the West and Northwest, he says
have expressed their willingness to trans
port free of charge TO those sections Of
the country such men as are willing 10
settle upon and cultivate these lands. the
railroads trusting to recompense them
selves for such free transportation by the
increase in business which must follow
the settlement on lands which now are
bringing in no revenue to the roads. Such
transportation cannot now be given under
the provisions OF the Interstate Com
merce act.
Mr.. Stacey insists that il his society's
scheme is carried out effectively il will
check 10 a great extent the alarming
emigration Of American farmers TO Can
ada who have been induced by the liberal
land laws Of the Dominion to cross the
border and settle I'm British territory, free
New-York tribune., 1913-07-27
PLANS NOW IN PROSPECT.

Mr.. Stacey explained that II the proposed
amendment TO the interstate commerce
act becomes law. steps will at once be
taken to provide for the transportation OF
bona hde intending settlers from cities
to various locations in other states. He
has no fear that unprincpled persons
who merely are anxious 10 obtain free
transportation elsewhere will succeed in
fooling those i'm charge OF the proposed
movement. for by inquiry as TO the ante
cedents and general record of applicants
the elimination OF "deadheads'' and other
undesirableS who have no actual inten-
tion Of settling on lands will be easily
possible
New-York tribune., 1913-07-27
THE MEN IN CITIES.

Leaving the missions out of considcra-
ton entirely. however. every one knows
there are hosts of men in cities. large
and small. In the United States who
would jump al the opportunity Of settling
on land which in a few years would be
their own II it were made possible for
them TO reach IT at trlfiing expense. but
who are now tied down TO the cities for
the reason that they have no money AMI
so cannot get away from there.
Now. these questions may be asked:
"Vhy should New York and other cities
i'm this country be Interested in developing
the undevelopcd resources of the Vest
