CHILDREN BACKWARD
IN IOWA SCHOOLS
One-fifth of Those Of School Age are
Not Up to the
Standard.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Dec. 16.-One-ffth
of the school children of Iowa are
backward and need special help, DR..
r. H. Sylvester, psychologist from the
University of Iowa, said in his adj
dress this afternoon in the child vel
fare meeting Of the conference on
charities and correction.
Nearly $4,000 Of Iowa's $4,000
school children are two or more
years retarded DR.. Sylvester de-
clared. Fifteen thousand of these, it
is estimated, are so extremely back
ward that without individual help
they can learn practically nothing.
They are incapable of being taught in
the regular classes. Many Of the
other 81, 900 would make much better
progress if they could have the help
of a special teacher, for part OF, all OF
the time. These $4,000 children rep
resent a great waste of time and
money and they constitute problem
to which school authorities are giving
serious attention. Our state institu-
ton at Glenwood provides care and
training for about 1900 Of the most
extreme cases, but the great mass OF
dull, retarded and defective children
are in the public schools.
"In twenty Iowa school systems
children whose backwardness is due
to physical ailments are being helped
by school nurses, school dentists and
school physicians. In nine, the most
| backward children are taught by ex
pert teachers in ungraded rooms, or
ganized much like the old-fashioned
country school. In twelve, auxiliary
teachers are employed who give theil
entire time to helping backward chill
dren individually and In small
groups. In four, all three OF these
plans are in operation. 81 -..,
Special help for backward children
is still in the experimental stage, bu
that it Yields valuable results has al
ready been dem onstrated." ..

Could huohes Refuse?

Leslie's Weekly: Justice Hughes,
himself in his several statements de-
clining to be considered a candidate,
has not made it appear that he
would decline the nomination for
president. He has said merely that
he does not care to be considered for
the presidency. No man has ever re-
fused a presidential nomination. 1t
is doubtful whether any man ever
Will refuse it. He might decline to
yield to the entreaties of any group
of leaders for authority to present
his name to the convention without
consulting him, but were these lead
ers to place him at the head OF the
ticket, there is no doubt that even a
Justice of the supreme court would
Weld to reason and place himself at
the disposal of his party. The peo-
pie are all powerful. 1t is solely In
their interest that justices of the SUI
preme court nave in the past kept
away from the lure of politics. Jus
tice Hughes is fond Of judicial work
and has devoted himself to it whole
heartedly and in apparent total for
getfulness of political matters.
