More Money Needed.
Dr. George S. Bliss, superintend-
ent Of the school for Feeble Minded
Youth at Fort Wayne. spoke on the
subject Feeble Mindedness. He
accompanied his address with stere-
opticon slides showing the various
conditions Of the feeble minded at
the Fort Wayne institution.
1T is a bold man who will dare
suggest the spending of more money

confront u.s." said Or. Bliss. yet
there is not business man who.
knowing that the expenditure Of q
larger sum Of money today would
save him hundreds of dollars 10.

The state Of Indiana today. in
order TO take care of its feeble

six millions OF dollars more than
they are now spending. The appro-

years would save the state millions
of dollars by reducing the feeble

tuition at TT. Wayne we are able 10
! take care Of about 300 boys and
girls In the other institutions of

cared for There are 5000 feeble

Or. Bliss spoke at some length on

made in Boston. he cited figure
showing that so per cent of prosti-

PREVENTION AIM
IN SOCIAL WORK
That's Keynote of Addresses
Heard Before Charity
Conference Here.

The first conference on social well
fare ever held in St. Joseph county
closed last night after a tvo-day ses-
sion. Speakers Of more than pass
ing prominence ADDRESSED big audi
ences on various phases Of a situa-
ton that was held by everyone as
serious in the extreme This situa-
ton embraces the problem of caring
for that host Of humanity termed
mentally defective, feeble-minded.
physically unfit-in short, a burden
that has vexed civilization since
medieval ages in its efforts 10 find
methods Of tightening it.
And standing out from all that has
been said at the local conference as
the only solution is the word pre-
vention." Every speaker has indi-
Gated IN the chosen subject which
he discussed that prevention must be
given the greatest consideration Bet
ter housing conditions. better home
surroundings. better hospital facili-
ties. better school sanitation. in
short. every environment OF man
must be better protected IL the man
is 10 attain mis- maximum OF worth
10 the world.
Hospital Needs shown.
The striking features OF the clos
ing sessions yesterday were the uIg-
ent pleas made for both "a city and
county hospital Local speakers
especially intimate with facilities for
caring OF the sick pointed out that
the hospitals OF the city were Woe
fully Inadequate to handle all that
should be handled. II was stated by
one speaker during the afternoon
session that only those who have
more than the usual financial means
get hospital care; that there are too
many OF the poorer Glasses who
really need hospital care but cannot
afford n. THIS was held true in both
city and county. N is possible that
agitation will be started TO build a
genera! hospital for both the city
and county where treatment may be
afforded 10 those who would do with
ont under ordinary conditions
Points Cfty'5 Responsibility.
Dr. J. p. BerteliDg. who served as
chairman for the evening, opened
the session last night with an excel
lent talk on the reciprocal duties Of

tho government 10 the individual

committed in the country.
Urges Cooperation.
Rev. Fr. McGinn presented "a chart
displaying the elements that make
up the normal family ~ the home.
the church the school and the in
dustrial work. ANY family with
out these elements is not normal and
should be reconstructed in order that
rs members may become good citi-
zens that are a help 10 the COM
munity.
The county should have an or
ganization composed OF all charitable
organizations combined that they
might better understand each other
and work 10 a better advantage. With
all working together for the same
results more can be accomplished
han when all are working sep
arately.
Atty G.. A. Farabaugh discussed
the subject following the address by
Rev. FIR McGinn. i'm which he up
held the proposition of establishing
county hospital.
Why Girls GO Wrong.
Lack Of proper homes for girls.
vas the strong argument brought
out by Mrs. :. b. Simpson of Terre
Haute. Ind. in her address at the
afternoon session on the subject
Causes and Prevention of Delin-
quency'
She said that girls go wrong not
because of their own accord but
nearly always because of lack Of
proper places TO take their COM
pany evenings.
Girls i'm this city who are work
| ing as clerks or in factories have
q great advantage over those work
ing in the homes as maids or cooks
" no do not go home at night. The
girl working as maid in a private
home who stays there during the
entire time with the exception of a
few hours given her for recreation
has, as a rule, no place to take her
company and must necessarily walk
around the streets which is always
commented upon by her friends; she
might go TO the park with her COM
pany. but she will again be spoken
Of in the wrong sense.
This girl has no place she can
| take her company without being
| spoken of by her friends. Very
! seldom she is given a chance to
! have the parlor or any other room
| of the house she works at during
| the week and if she has company
must necessarily take them to some
| place which is different than
| home.
Not Hereditary as Rule
Statistics show that but a few
| Of the girls Of today who have gone
wrong have done so because of their
! ancestors. Records show that but
two per cent of the girls of de-
! linquency Of today are hereditary
and the remainder caused through
| improper care on the part of the
| parents or those who are caring for
| them"

ed Mr. Barnes also suggested
making the floor of the auditorium
fat SO that il could be used for
exhibits and entertainments. The
board decided not TO make this
change as the corridors and the
large gym it was felt could be used
on these occasions.
PerIey to Get Portable.
A committee from the Perley
school was promised that the porta-
bic building asked for that district
would be constructed. A motion
" as made and adopted that the por-
table be built in duplicate Of the
River Park portable Last week a
request was made by members of
the municipal recreation committee
to have the building larger than first
planned SO that ii would care for
the meetings Of the civic club of
the Periey school. However. as il
would mean an additional $1,000.
the board decided not TO do so. The
estimated cost Of the structure is
placed at S1.1OO
The board told the committee that
it felt the portable school would
accommodate the civic club and that
the relief of the congestion was the
principal consideration in building
the addition.
The board authorized the secre-
tary TO advertise for bids for school
supplies for the year

MISSISSIPPI AND REAL
PROGRESS.

A decade ago Mississippi was
accounted much the same as
other states in the South, SO far
as educational progress modern
agricultural development, the
building of clean towns, the
other things that have come to
the fore so sharply in recent
years were concerned.
To day, when Mississippi is
mentioned, the thought is pre-
sented of consolidated rural
schools, of county high schools.
Of vast area free of the tick,
Of magnificent cattle of prosper
ous farms. of cities that COM
pare favorably with any in the
United States for civic spirit.
The newest step forward of the
state is the campaign that has
been set on foot to have farm
demonstration agent in every
county.
Many counties have these
agents already and are we'll pleas
ed with the results. If it is pos
sible to single out any one great
influence in the recent agricul
tural progress of the South few
familiar with conditions would
hesitate to say that the agents
deserve the bulk of the credit.
These men are practical farm
ers who by their direct intimate
appeal to the individual farmer
have done more in a few years to
spread the gospel of diversified
farming than the agricultural
colleges could have accomplished
in a century. The agricultural
colleges have furnished most of
the agents. especially in Mississ-
ippi and Alabama, with their
two great polytechnic schools.
Mississippi moves forward
swiftly now that she has set her
foot in the high road Of progress
and.it is safe to say that her
newestambition will be realized
