Delinquency and Precocity.

We have heard so much for the last
few years, both in an educational way
and In the discussions Of juvenile de-
linquenCy, concerning the subnorma al
child. its individual dangers, its men
ace to other children and to society
IL overlooked. that we have forgot
ten, IL we ever knew, that there is
such a problem as the precociOus
childhood OF our age. 1t would seem
but natural that parents who have
children who seem advanced for their
years In mental alertness and intelli-
gence should congratulate themselves
on the fact that their children. if not
positive geniuses, are above the aver
age. rather than below-stress having
been laid on the undesirability OF the
latter class. But a California profes-
sor Of child psychology, who has been
undertaking researches in the Blnet
scale for measuring the intelligence
OF school children. seems to think the
parents OF just average children are
the ones TO be congratulated; that
precocity has its dangers, as we'll as
subnormality; indeed, that the pre-
cocious child, If not properly handled,
Is very likely 10 fall into a state of
chronic dullness at critical age, from
which il is impossible to arouse 1t; or,

irritable, excitable and later on, even
insane. Therefore, he thinks the pre-
cocious child should be the object of
as much solicitude as the backward
child, and that it should be subjected
TO psychological and medical study.
All Of the students OF child welfare
deplore the precocity Of the age as
manifested in children. Compared
with country-bred children, Professor
Terman seems to think there are few
real children in our cities; they are
small adults They read the same
books, go to the same plays, and at
tend the saRe sort of parties and balls
the grown ups do. Their senses are
so stimulated by the rush, excitement,
diversions and distractions Of city life.
in which they are allowed, to initiate
the participation Of adults, that the
senses are awakened prematurely, be-
fore the mind is stabilized or the char
acter is formed. This mania for sense
satisfaction awakens them preco-
clously to sensuous life, and results
IN early maturity. Comparative inves-
usations Of city and country-bred
children show that the former have
been robbed of from year to a wear
and half of adolescence,-Ex.
