The livery stables of a town used to be

WHY "ANURIC"
IS AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from DaCkaehe Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, You suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or the twinges

Of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three

should consult some physician of wide

SUB-N0RMAL CHILDREN.

Professor Allison figures that 2h
per cent Of the enrolment OF children
in the Chicago schools are below nor
NAL Somewhere about 10 per cent Of
these are feeble minded, some are
morons, and some are lower than NOR
ons.
Not much can be done In an educa-
tional way for the feeble minded. They
can be educated to a certain point, but
not beyond there and they can never
be brought to the point where they can
earn their livings in the ordinary chan
nels OF competitive life. The idiots,
imbeciles, and many Of the higher
grades Of the feebleminded are not
criminals and do not tend to become
criminals. They have not enough
mental or physical vigor, initiative, or
courage to become criminals. Allison
says that the dangerous characters de-
velop among the other 80 per cent.
Practically all Of that 80 per cent can
be developed into useful citizens.
What is the plan? In the first place,
steal examination. In many the cause
is some remedial defect. In many the
cause Is bad teeth. After the teeth
have been put in order the child keeps
up with it's school work, or may even
catch up the lost grades. In many the
cause is adenoids, or enlarged tonsils.
In a very large number the trouble Is
one OF poor food. After it has been ar
ranged so that the child can get plenty
of good food such children have no diff
hculty in keeping up. In others an
open air school supplies just what the
child needs.
Professor Allison estimates that "a
per cent of the school enrolment are
subnormal, but above the grade OF
feebleminded. These. in his opinion.
should be cared for in special rooms.
In every school where there are 1000
pupils there should be one room to be
This room should accommodate %
pupils. This room, in addition to the
usual shoolroom equipment, should
have the following special equipment:
One piano, two locker benches, one tool
and supply cabinet, eight kindergarten
chairs, No. IL; eight kindergarten
chairs, Nd. IA; 8 common chairs.
The cost per pupil he figures as fol-
lows: Tuition 1.-TWO and ne-quarter
ular supplies and other expenses, $S.16;
special supplies, SO; total, $S0.57.
On the one hand this Is to be COM
pared with $46.73, the cost per pupil OF
the Chicago schools. On the other
hand, 1t is to be compared with 1910
the per capita cost of pupils in the par
entail school.
Certain of the backward pupils will
not be able to learn much from books,
but will show a special capacity for
handicraft work. Such should be trans
eerred to the manual training schools
In Chicago, in 1915, 1859 retarded pu-
pills were taught in these special un-
graded schoolrooms. OF this number
1868 were returned to grade.
