EXPERTS WILL TREAT
DEFECTIVE CHILDREN
University Extension Work To
BE Carried On. Despite Lack
of Appropriation

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.--Although re-
fused the special appropriation 10 es-
tablish branch clinics in the more i'm
portant cities OF the state, the depart
ment OF Psychological research, Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania. proposes TO
cooperate with school boards and SUI
perintendents OF public instruction
throughout the state wherever sufti-
cient funds are provided locally 10 de-
fray the expenses of sending a MEM
Der or the csculty to examine defec-
tive or backward school children. In
this way the policy OF carrying on
university extension work will be con-
Quoted along practical lines in a field
where infinite good may be &C
complished at great saving 10 the
state in the cost OF educating children.
The psychological laboratory and
clinic is the only regularly established
department of the university In opera
ton for practically the entire year. as
its regular courses are supplemented
by those carried on during the SUM
mer school term.
From recent investigations made in
thirty of the principal cities OF Penn.
sylvania IL is shown little more than
$4,000 additional expense to taxpay-
ers is incurred through unscientific
methods used in dealing with back
ward children. A large percentage OF
this amount ii is figured, could be
saved If advantage is taken of the ia
cilities offered by the university for
studying modern methods. In fact. II
is stated that the saving would more
than Offset any expense incurred by
calling for consultation the trained ex-
perts IN the service of the university.
II is not believed the additional work
would neeessitate increasing the pres
ent staff.
