DR.. Hill Shows Way
of Industrial Peace

DIR. John Wesley Hill, president of
the International Peace Forum, and
of which eX-President Taft is honor
ary president spoke at the st. James
Methodist Episcopal Church last night
on Industrial Peace" urging social
reform as against social revolution
the mainten ance of constitutional au-
thority rather than disruption, and
the preservation of representative
democracy instead of the program of
socialism, which he designates as mo
bocracy." Among other things he
said:
John Mitchell recently said at Yale,
IF ] were asked to propose solution
of the whole vexed problem of mod
ern Industrial life, | should unhesi-
tatingly advise a literal application of
the golden rule, Whatsoever We would
that men should do unto you, do We
likewise unto them"
And it is just this substitution of
the golden rule for the rule of gold
that carries with it the potency and
prophecy of social and Industrial re-
generation.

HEALTH OF CHILDREN
DISCUSSED At RACE
BETTERMENT SESSION
Mental, Moral and Physical Ad-

Delegates to Convention
BY Associated Press

Battle Creek, Mich, Jan. 8. - The
mental, physical and moral advance
ment of mankind was discussed from
almost every angle by men and women
famed in their respective fields of en-
deavor at to-days sessions of the Ma
tional Race Betterment Association.
"The child hygienist occupies a new
field and his work makes necessary the
recognition of new profession" was
the statement made in a paper pre-
pared by Ernest Hoag, of Leland Stan
ford University. The modern school
health officer must be a specialist care
fully trained in the problems of child
hygiene, particularly as this applies
to the school child"
Perhaps the most important depart
ment in school hygiene, said Dr. II Gag S
paper. is that which relates to the
Exceptional child"
The proper study of such children
requires some special training psyche
logical procedure" according to the
paper. which cannot at present be
required of every school official. Every
large, well organized school health de-
partment, however, will include this
division and provide a we'll trained
person to carry on the work as now is
done in Los Angeles, Philadelphia
Milwaukee. Minneapolis, Grand Rap
ids and a few other cities.
Not less than 1 per cent, and
probably nearly 8 per cent. of the
children in the average school are
below normal in intelligence to a de-
gree to which units them to profit by
ordinary schol methods. It is of the
greatest importance clearly to distin-
guish between the merely dull and
defective child; between the morally
delinquent and mentally detective be-
tween the misfit or specialized defec-
tive and the intellectually subnormal;
Yet this rs rarely done in our schools
to-day.
The new conception of child hy-
giene involves the adaptation of the
school to the child instead of vain at
tempts to force the child to fit the
school -
