on the Subject.

Washington.-That IL out OF every

lie schools are mentally unusual
and need special treatment, II posi-
BILE apart from other children, is the
conclusion reached by DR.. Arnold &C.
sell OF Yale University. In q publica-
ton just issued by the United States
bureau Of education.
Take an ordinary kindergarten and
first grade, with a combined enroll.
ment Of 100 pupils" says Doctor &C.
sell. Among this number we may ex-
pect to find at least n child feeble
minded; one child who shutters; two
or three who seriously lisp; another
extremely anemic; q badly spoilt
child; another babyish- q year or two
retarded In mental or moral growth;
and still another morally weak. There
will be n negative child-passive,
colorless; one over-sensitive. nervous
child; one specifically p%recocious
child; another distinctly superior
eager. ardent, imaginative, sociable.
For some of these children there
is no better disposition than prompt
assignment to a special class, the spe-
cial class method having been put into
successful operation for Is 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
inventory.
"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, 16 girls; %nationali-
ties, Norwegian, French, Irish. Armen.
ian, Italian, Austrian, American, Chi
nese; names range from James Mo-
rarity and Ong Yung to Arcangelo
christiano and Nishan Kalehadoar-
i'm; ages range from six to eighteen,
mentality, from giggling imbecility to
ambitious intelligence; morality. from
truancy, cigarette smoking, and thiev-
ing to good behavior; parentage,
noted in special cases. includes a drum
ken mother, an insane father, and in
three instances. gypsies; physical con-
dition, from partial blindness and
deafness, and spinal trouble and ane-
mia, to vigorous physical health.
Think Of the problem before this
teacher. who may not even have q
working definition of feeble-minded-
ness in her consciousness to aid her
In classification and Instruction."
In the opinion of Doctor Gesell, the
time is coming when all our large
municipal school systems. and per-
haps county educational systems as
well, will have the equivalent Of a de.
partment of child classification and
special classes. Child classification
Is the basis Of child hygiene" he de-
clares. but 1t Is more. The primary
school may develop into a sociological
clearing agency for the discovery and
registration Of all children who, when
adults. may prove socially dependent,
defective, or dangerous. Child CLASH

British Schooner Stanley Buffeted by
Gale for Three Weeks in Sore
Straits When Tank Steamer
Comes to Her Rescue.

New York.-The three-masted Brit
ish schooner Stanley labored through
heavy seas to Nova Scotia.
Death visited the schooner but the
only member of the company that suf-
fered was the ships monkey, Carl
baldi. His tail in the captains locker
is all that is left Of the ships pet
now.
The tank steamer Cymbeline, out
of Bordeaux, brought the story of
Garibaldi's demise, for she met the
Stanley in latitude 40.42, longitude
7O.5, with her flag union down.
1t was a story of grim tragedy and
grimmer comedy mingled.
After three weeks buffeting by
high seas and winds the Stanley from
Turks island, found her rigging
mostly carried away, her seams TAX
ing water. and provisions low.
Then a gale broke that carried
away the water casks and ruined
what food remained.
Captain Lohnes and his crew Of
seven. exhausted already, found them
selves facing starvation.
The last morsel Of food raj eaten,
and there was only part Of a cask
Of water in the galley when the 9th
r went overheard.
Garibaldi belonged to . sailor. The
others began to look hungrily at him.
Two were already pertly delirious.
Captain Lohnes asked G~aribaldi's
owner II they might kill the monkey.
He refused. Another day passed.
Then, when most Of the crew were
too weak to man the pumps. the cap
tain ordered the monkey killed. Cap
tain Lohnes had to execute Garibaldi
himself, and then the cook made him
into stew.
Garibaldi's tail, saved by Captain
Lohnes AZ q souvenir. was In the
cabin locker when the Cymbeline was
sighted. She reprovisiOned the
schooner. and gave her material for
repairs to the rigging.
Captain Lohnes said Garibaldi had
saved the eight lives on the Stanley.

Thursday.
THE MEASURES NOW PENDING

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Congress has
much business to transact before it
undertakes consideration Of antitrust
legislation and it is the aim of Demo-
cratic leaders to shorten the session
as much as possible.
With the congressional campaign
coming next fall and the Republicans
and Progressives already active, the
majority leaders ere insistent that all
legislative business be disposed Of be-
fore July 1st at the latest, in order
TO fight for retention of a Democratic
majority in both houses of the next
congress.
Sensational Contests Pending.
The act that senatorial contests un-
der the direct elections amendment to
the constitution are pending in many
states, makes the situation more ur.
gent from a campaign standpoint.
President Wilson, as a leader of the
dominant party, is as eager as the
chieftans in congress to limit the ses-
sion as much as possible and all are
pulling together to expedite legislative
matters. Conferences on a legislative
program will be held in the near flu.
lure.
1t is practically certain appropria-
ton bills and many other important
matters will be out of the way before
the trust program is ready. Among
the most important measures pending
are the Alaska railroad bill. which will
pass the senate next Thursday; rural
credit legislation, to be undertaken by
the banking and currency committee
soon; regulation Of stock exchanges as
proposed in the Owen bill. upon which
public hearings are to begin February
4; and the Panama canal tolls ques-
ton, which will come up in a joint
resolution introduced by Representa-
tive Adamson, chairman of the inter-
state and foreign commerce committee
which would suspend conditionally for
two years the provision Of the Panama
canal act granting free passage to
American coastWise vessels.
Bill Up This Week.
The Alaskan railroad bill and the
agricultural extension bill will occupy
the attention of the senate most Of
this week. The Alaskan bill, which
was urged by the president in his lass
message, and would provide for a gov.
ernment-built and operated railroad
into the interior of the territory, is
certain to pass. Senator Chamberlain
secured unanimous consent for q vote
on Thursday.
There is little opposition to the bill,
and the house already has the same
subject under consideration to be TAX
en up again Wednesday. With the
Alaskan bill out of the way, Senator
Smith Of Georgia will press the agri-
cultural extension bill, which would
provide ultimately an annual appro-
priation Of s3,000.O 900 to be expended
through the state agricultural col
lcges in educating the farmers Of the
country on advanced agricultural lines.
An amendment to increase the ulti-
mate appropriation to s. 5000, 900, Offer
ed by Senator Simmons of North Caro-
lima. is pending.
A caucus of house Democrats on the
question Of creating a house commit
tee on suffrage is being agitated by
some OF the western members.
