Educating Exceptional" Children.

TT is often the exceptionally bright
child even the genius, whom we find
on the wrong SIDE" says DR.. Gresz-
mann, in the annual report Of the
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation. .'The stupid and weak mind
ed criminal is not as dangerous as the
clever and intellectual criminal
DR.. Groszmann urges that public
attention be directed to all types of
exceptional children, not merely to the
feeble minded and degenerate. who,
no matter how undesirable a factor
they may be in society. are by no
means the whole problem. He points
out that the problem of the exception
al chilli is by on means merely the
problem of the defective" or the
'.subnermal," or the abnormal child.
Often it is a case of misdirected abil-
ity on the part Of gifted mind; or
the problem of child-growth and de-
yelopplent as affecting criminal ten
denotes. Sometimes 1t is vocational
failure. due to improper vocational
education: or 1t may be a problem
arising from racial differences, to-
gether with the difficulties of social
adjustment in a nation which has
grown through immigration.
DR. Groszmann considers the great
lesson Of the year to be the
need for intelligent, united effort on
the part of educators. medical men,
social workers, charity organizations,
welfare societies. juvenile courts and
other agencies that have been active
in the endeayor to remedy early
neglect of exceptional conditions. His
point is that each of these separate
agencies is doing commendable work,
but that they must now join forces.
He asks compulsory education for all
children. exceptional" as well as 9TH
ers. He contends that it is a mis-
take to exempt the exceptional child
from the compulsory law. He de-
clares: THE very children who need
special attention and who. may be-
come burdens and dangers to society
are dependent for their education,
special training. and custody upon the
good Win OF their parents. who are
often enough dsinclined to follow the
right course. We need legislation
which would establish the right of the
commonwealth to direct the education
and training of every child, and
which would secure to the state and
municipality an authority which can
not be superseded by parental
prejudice. We also need legislation
which would establish such board or
boards as can regulate and determine
the disposition which is to be made OF
every child according to his need and
the good of the community"

hospital, and that is that the victim
cannot possibly receive treatment in
his or her existing surroundings. And,

be treated at home, or who are a pos
sible menace to the lives of their FAM
lily, there are few cases where removal

is anxious to be cured.
This was not true when the state or
iginally provided for the sanatoriums

but it is true. today. There is not a city
or town in Massachusetts which can
not find some open sun-lit area, where
tents can be pitched, and WHERE the

be. The community could furnish tents,
wraps and food or whatever else may
be needed. in such cases as preclude
the possibility of the patients meeting
the expense involved. The town can
furnish the local physician and the
state should provide for consulting
physician or state visitor or inspector.
And the results would be far better
than where patients are herded togeth-

The editor of our interesting ex-
change speaks wisely, to our mind. and
we would only add that some method

Editorial Comment
McReynoIds Is Unfit.
philadelphia Press.)


Further evidence of the unfitness, to
call it by no stronger word, of the
present Attorney General of the Unit
ed States, James Clark McReynolds,
for his high Office is contained in the
report, made public in Washington
the other day, by ex-District Attorney
McNab to his superior officer in the
Dggs- Caminetti white slave cases.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Me-
Nab resigned in a fiery telegram to
the President upon receiving instruc-
tons from Mr.. McReynolds to post
pone the trials Of these two men, both
husbands and fathers, who had been
indicted for conspiracy to violate the
White Slave Act of Congress in Undue
ing two young women of nineteen
years of age to go from California to
Nevada where, the evidence shows,
they were subjected to indignities
which are described as unprintable.
Asked at the time for his comment on
this resignation, the Attorney General
loosely remarked: "A Republican Dis
trict Attorney has resigned and / am
shedding no tears A few days later
President Wilson. accepting Mr.. Nc
Nab's resignation in communicat ton
in which he took occasions to eXcori-
ate him for unwarrantable aspersions
on the Attorney General, wrote a let
ter to Mr.. McReynolds, assuring him
that his action in postponing the cases
was recognized as being based on the
highest Interpretation of what was
just and then, with an appreciate
lack of consistency, proceeded to re-
verse him and order the cases pushed
1t now appears that the Attorney
General had fun knowledge of the
shocking charges on which this pre-
cious pair were indicted when he or
dered their cases postponed. 1t also
appears that in making his report to
the President he carefully suppressed
the most significant portion of the
McNab report. portion which was
later also suppressed by the judiciary
committee of the House of Represen
tatives. and which has only just seen
the light.
What does Mr.. Wilson think now of
his Attorney General? Would he have
exonerated him so hastily and fully
had lie known that Mr.. McReynolds
was Withholding important details?
And what Will he do now that he
knows the lengths to which Mr.. Rey7
nolds was willing TO go to oblige his
Cabinet colleague. the Secretary of
Labor, who in turn requested the post
ponement on the urgent solicitation of
the father of one of the defendants,
Camlnetti, Sri, who had just been APP
pointed, through Secretary Bfyan's
favor, Commissioner of immigration?
II President Wilson knows ineompe-
tency when he sees 1t We think he will
suggest to Mr.. McReynolds that his
resignation would be much appreciat-
ed.

Chinese Destroy Opium.

Opium worth 100000 was burned,
Tuesday, in front of the Nankai mid
die school, in the native city, Tientsin,
China. Nine great pots were filled
with the drug. The students of the
school and at least 1000 other specta
tors cheered when the big cauldrons
were set afire shortly after noon.
Among the onlookers We're over 100
foreign soldiers and their officers, to
whom the enthusiasm of the Chinese
as the drug went up in smoke was a
revelation.
Perhaps within another generation
Americans will have advanced as far
as the Chinese toward moral couraga.
Mayhap we will some day witness tn :
spectacle of public destruction Of
