CITIZENS SUBSCRIBE OUT NECESSARY
ANTEE SERVICES OF DEM 0NsTRAToR PERKINS,

! 4. :. + :
A number of business people were
tee, but were not in at that time and
others will contribute to the work
and their names will be given in the
Democrat next week, when it is hoped
that the full amount will have been
raised.
Appealing to the Farmers.
Republicans and Democrats have
keenly regretted the action of the
county commissioners and in order to
show that the republicans as well as
the democrats desire to see the work
continued, the following letter from
ID. s. Pace, one of the most influential
republicans af the county, to the farm
ers, will besof interest:
Jan. 13, 1915.
Dear Sir;
As you Already know, the county
commissioners on the first Monday in
December discontinued the farm DEM
onstratl0n work for Henderson coun-
ty, and also reafhrmed their decision
on the first Monday in January. am
sure the county commissioners are
conscientious, and think they are do
ing the thug the people of Henderson
county want them to do, but 1 am of
different opinion, and a larger num-
Der of the leadfng farmers of our
county agree with me; therefore it is
our desire to continue the work. 1t
will. therefofe, be necessary to raise
by private subscription $500, and I am
writing this letter to see how much
you will give of this amount. You
may write me by return mail and ad-
wise the a1fdiint that you are willing to
give. Assuring you that the mer-
chants and business men of Hender-
sonviIle viii come to the aid of the
farmers and win do their part in rails
ing the $39l fully agree with the
leading faFnars, that to stop the farm
demonstration work would be a greai
calamity to the county, when we take
into consideration the enormous drain
age that is going out of the bounty
every year for farm products, thai
could easily be raised at home Uncle
Sam Is in sympathy with us and agrees
to pay one-half of what it will cost tC
keep a farm demonstrator in ouI
county, and we should certainly come
Ecross with the remaining half, and
show our appreciation for Uncle Sans
liberality.
yours truly,
I'D. s. PACE"
1t is highly important that other
contributions be made in order to Sc.
cure Mr.. Perkins services, therefore
the people who have not been called
ON would be comforting favor on the
the work should they notify either
Mr.. Pace, Mr.. Bryson, Mr.. Gallamore
or the Democrat of their intention al
cnce.

Protecting Society and the Mental
Defective Against Each Other
The Problem Is the States, Says Dr. Schlapp, Who
Was Instrumental in Establishing Our
First Clearing House.

deficiency and opportunity to study its
causes.
"The causes of feeble mindcdncss
have not been determined. 1t is there
fore of deep Importance that physi-
clans and psychologists should be af-
forded every opportunity for research
in this field
"Thc state should take over the whole
problem and should establish central
clearing house for detectives at AL
bany. perhaps. with local clearing
houses in connection with hospitals in
all parts of the state. There should
be sufficiently close relation between
these hospitals and temporary homes
for detectives to make prolonged study
possible.
THE only way that we can get at the
causes of mental deficiency is by re-
search into the psychology and biology
of individual cases.
THE schools themselves form great
clearing houses. The curriculum is a
form of psychological test. Field work
ers connected with the schools can
make valuable studies of the sociology
of the problem of feeble mindedness, of
home conditions and heredity.
But the schools cannot make eco
nomically and efficiently bio-chemical
tests. 1t is not the function of the
schools to maintain a staff of psyche
pathologists and a research laboratory.
"Thc problem of feeble-mindcdnes
is related to public health, delinquency,
charity and education. but it is a dis
tinct problem, and must be treated as
such.
1--WE have been trying to deal with it
by social mechanism which was de-
veloped before feeble-mindedness was
recognized as a vast social problem.
We must alter our machine to provide
for the special study of the subject of
feeble-mindedness by experts. We
have confused it with other problems
long enough.
Take the situation. in our prisons
as an example. Mr.. Osborne's fine
work for normal offenders will fail alb
solutely with those who are defective.
am of the opinion that a study OF the
men in whom no feeling of RESPONSE
bility has been reused by Mr.. Os-
borne's methods would reveal a high
percentage of mental deficiency among
them
