Exceptional" CHILDREN.
Public Attention Ought to Be directed
to All Types.

at is often the exceptionally bright
lohild, even the genius, whom We find on
1.-THE wrong side" says DIR. Macmillan
Up. E. Groszmann, discussing the educa
ton of exceptional children in the an
inual report of the United States Com
missioner of Education, just issued.
!"The stupid and weak-minded criminal
is not as dangerous as the clever and
intellectual criminal"
DIR. Groszmann urges that public at
tention be directed to all types OF ex-
ceptional children, not merely to the
feeble minded and degenerates, who, no
matter how undesirable factor they
may be in society, are by no means the
whole problem. He points out that the
problem of the exceptional child is by
no means merely the problem OF the de
fective,' or the sub-normal," or the lab
normal child. Often it is case of
imisdirected ability on the part of a
gifted mind; or the protection OF child
growth and development failure, due to
Improper vocational education; or it
NAV be a problem arising from racial
differences, together with the difficulties
of social adjustment in a nation which
has grown through immigration.
Real progress, particularly in distin-
gushing between the various types OF
exceptional children, is report ed by DIR.
Groszmann. He considers the great
lesson of the year to be the need for in
telligent, united effort on the part OF
educators, medical men, social workers,
charity organizations, welfare sccieties,
Juvenile courts and other agencit,s that
have been active in the endeavor to rem
edy early neglect of exceptional condi-
tions. His point is that each OF these
separate agencies is doing commenMable
work, but that they must now join
forces.
DR.. Groszmann asks compulsory edu
cation for all children, exceptional as
we'll as Others. He contends that it is
mistake to exempt the exceptional
child from the compulsory law. He de-
clares: "The very children who need
special attention and who may become
burdens and dangers to society are de-
pendent for their education, special
training, and custody upon the good will
of their parents, who are often enough
dsinclined to follow the right course
We need legislation which would estab-
lish the right of the commonwealth to
direct the education and training OF
every child, and which would secure
to the state and municipality an au-
thority which can not he superseded by
parental preiudces. We also need leg
islation which would establish such a..
board or boards as can regulate and de-
termine the disposition which is to be
made of every child according to his
need and the good of the community"

the imports amounted to less than 8 per
cent. Moreover, the imports of sui
phur from italy were only 81 per cent
OF the total importation, and Japan was
the leading exporter of sulphur into the
United States, 81 per cent of the for
eign sulphur admitted having come from
that country. 1t seems safe to predict
that with the completion of the Pan
anna canal, United States sulphur may
practically displace foreign sulphur on
the Pacific coast.
An advance chapter on sulphur for
1912, Just issued by the geological sur
vey. includes detailed descriptions OF the
sulphur industry in Louisiana as carried
on BY the Union Sulphur Co. and an
outline of the extensions of the com
pany in Europe. An account of the
beginning of the operations of the Free
port Sulphur Co. at Freeport, near Bryan
Heights, Brazoria county, Tex. is also
included This company began opera
lions in November, 1912, when an initial.
run was made. The sulphur is TO be
obtained by process similar TO that
employed in Louisiana-that is, it will
be melted underground and pumped to
the surface by means of an air lift.
In Nevada the sulphur comes from the
town Of Sulphur, in Humboldt county.
The Wyoming product comes from the
Thermopolis district. A new deposit in
Wyoming is located in Park county,
II miles south of the deposits in Sum
light Basin.
Besides tables of domestic production,
the report gives figures showing the i'm
ports of foreign sulphur and the ex-
ports of domestic sulphur.

INVESTIGATION ON
SOUTHERN FARMS
Everybody Should Join in the
Universal Farm UpIift.
FARM METHODS ARE LACKING
Farmers Can Easily Grow Twice Aver.
aas Of staple crops-Mahy orsst
Industrial Corporations Of
Country Are Interested.
(By q. II. ALFORD)


We have between the average and
the best In farming In the cotton belt
an attainable 1000 per cent. This diff
ference Of 1000 per cent. against the
average farmer Is due wholly to con
ditions which he can easily control
with the necessary knowledge. Every
corporation and business man interest
join forces with the United States de.
partment Of agriculture. agricultural
colleges. experiment stations, state de.
partnients OF agriculture and other
forces and conduct great educational
campaigns until the foolish and Grim
inal waste that Is going on every year
by reason of unscientific methods Of
farming Is thing OF the past.
Our farmers can grow easily twice
the average yield OF our staple crops.
This increase would pour many mil
lions Of dollars annually into our
industrial channels. Such an add
ton could not be made without touch
ing every corporation, every banker.
every storekeeper, every doctor. every
lawyer. every editor and, In fact. every
person In the country.
Many OF the great Industrial corpo-
rations of the country have already
joined forces with national and state
institutions and are helping the farm
ers to larger production and to larger
life. and are thereby contributing to
the prosperity and uplift Of the whole
people. Some people may attribute
this to pure selflshness. but from out
Of that selfishness will evolve better
condition among the farmers. greater
comforts In living. and more luxuries
OF life and better opportunities for the
farmers to educate their sons and
daughters-thus the presumed selfish
ness contains within It resulting
philanthropy.
During the last ten years our acre
yield increased, but not half as much
as the increase of population. There

Unnumbered acres OF hill land In
the cotton belt are making less than
one-third bale of cotton per acre. and
at the same time making poverty for
those tilling them. The cost of com
mercial fertilizer applied annually Is
appalling. The razor-back terraces,
covered with weeds. grass and briars.

vent the use OF labor-saving imple-
