some cause until another tool was Sc

went to sleep, and during his nap the

he was inside the boiler. His surprise
upon awakening can be imagined and

That twelve out of every hundred
pupils at the threshold of the public
schools are mentally unusual" and
need special treatment, if possible
apart from other children, is the con-
clusion reached by DR.. Arnold Geself
of Yale university in a publication just
issued by the United States bureau of
education.
Take an ordinary kindergarten and
first grade with Il combined enrolment
of a hundred pupils" says DR.. Gesell.
among this number we may expect to
find at least one child feeble minded,
one child who shutters, two or three
who seriously lisp. another extremely
anaemic, badly spoiled child, another
babyish "a year or two retarded in
mental or moral GROWTH and still an
other morally weak. There will be one
negative child-passive, colorless; one
oversensitive, nervous child; one su-
perfcially precocious child, another
distinctly superior-eager, ardent, i'm
aginative. sociable.
"For some of these children there is
no better disposition than prompt as
signment to a special class, the special
class method having been put into sue
cessful operation for thirteen different
types of children. But even the spe-
cial classes, particularly the so called
ungraded classes for backward chill
dren that have been established in our
large cities, are greatly in need of in
ventory.
THE diversity of the ungraded class
membership is often pathetically pic
turesque. Here is the roll call for one
such class in a large eastern city:
Twenty-four boys, sixteen girls; ma
tiOnalities-Norwegian, French, Irish.
Armenian, Italian, Austrian, American.
Chinese; names range from James Mo
riarity and Ong Yung to Arcangelo
Christiano and Nishan Kalehadoarian;
ages range from six to eighteen; men
tality, from giggling imbecility to ambi-
tious intelligence; morality, from tru-
ancy, cigarette smoking and thieving
to good behavior; parentage, noted in
special cases, includes a drunken
mother, an insane father and in three
instances gypsies; physical condition,
from partial blindness and deafness
and spinal trouble and anaemia to Wig
orous physical health. Think of the
problem before this teacher, who may
not even have a working definition of
feeble mindedness in her consciousness
to aid her"
In the opinion of DR.. Gesell, the time
is coming when all our large municipal
school systems and perhaps county ed
ucational systems as well will have the
equivalent of a department Of child
classification and special classes.
