N. Y. TO HAVE PRISON
FOR FEEBLE MINDED

The construction Of prison for
feeble minded criminals at Beekman
which, it is said, would be the first Of
its kind in the country, will be recon-
nlended by the Commission of New
Prisons in a report to the legislature.
This project and the proposed cree
ton Of new industrial prison ut
Wingdale will be discussed at meet
ing OF the commission in the offices of
Ebert II. Gary, chairman, in No. II
Broadway.
The development of the psychologist
cal clinic in Sing Sing Prison is said TO
have influenced the decision TO recon-
mend an institution where offenders Of
defective mentality could be treat ted.
It is designed to have Sing Sing con-
tinue as the receiving station for pris-
oners from all parts of the state and to
have the defective segregated there
and sent 10 Beekman. Dannemora, it
IS proposed. shall remain the receiving
place for prisoners who are incurably
insane. Cases more or less incorrie-
able will be cared for at Clinton and
only the harmless, feeble minded pris-
oners will go to Beekman. where there
will he a farm colony, if the scheme Of
the commission is approved by the
legislature.
The attitude Of the commission
toward the prison land marks the end
of fight for a new Sing Sing" that
has lasted almost a decade and was
last year the cause of a controversy in
the legislature, when Senator Towner
tried to get bill passed designating
Wingdale as the site for the new insti-
tuition. This bill was vetoed by the
governor. On the floor of the legisla-
ture it was charged that inasmuch as
the Wingda!e site was not large
enough for farm colony it's selection
would mean that the state would have
to purchase more land.

1--WE call no uneducated quack OF
charlatan to perform surgery upon the
bodies of our children lest they may be
deformed, crippled, and MANNED physi-
|calIy all their lives. Let us take
equal care that we intrust the develop
ment of the mental faculties to skilled
instructors Of magnanimous character
that the mentalities of our children
may not be mutilated, deformed, and
crippled to halt and limp through al
the centuries of their never lending
lives The deformed body will die. and
be forever put out of sight under the
ground, but a mind made monstrous
by bad teaching does not. but stalks
forever among the ages. an immortal
mockery of the divine image"

schools which met at Chicago in Sep

MANSFIELD'S SON TO
BE SAFE AT FRONT

While Mrs. Richard Mansfield, widow
or the famous actor, worried over the
dangers attending the presence of her
son Richard in New York alone. and
pursued him after he had prepared TO
go on the stage, taking him back to
his home. she IS apparently unper-
turbed today over his determination TO
go to France and be an ambulance
driver.
Whether Mrs. Mansfield believes her
son Will be in less peril on the fighting
front of the European war than to be
alone in New York she does not saw.
but her voice was mistaken as she
replied to a query:
Il don't care to discuss the matter"
Young Mansfield left his New Lon
don home last month and came here,
intending to go On the stage. He was
studying his lines In the part he was
to have taken with the Provincetown
Players when his mother. fearful over
his welfare, swcoped down on him and
carried him back to the Connecticut
city.
Mr.. Mansfield says he will Leave New
York for Frarce soon. He is only
eighteen years old. He said:
Il lived in France two years. re-
fceived part Of my education there and
I have always felt that I'd like to do
something to help her. That's why
I'm going"
Members Of the Provincetown Play
ers were equally reticent but it was
obvious that they were proud Of the
recruit who almost became one of
them.

BETTER TEACHERS FOR THE RURAL SCHOOLS

CBy J. L. McBrien, School Extension
Agent, U. s. Bureau OF Education,
Department of the Intertor.)
No man Of prominence has ever
emphasized the value and importance
of professionally trained teachers with
better logic than did J. Sterling Nor
ton, Secretary Of Agriculture in Presi-
dent Cleveland's Cabinet when he
said:
I'VE demand educated educators.
We demand professionally trained
teachers. men and women of ire
proachable character and well-tested
abilities. We demand from our legis-
lature laws raising the standard of the
profession and exalting the office OF
the teacher. AS the doctor Of medi-
cine or the practitioner at law is only
admitted within the pale Of his call
ing upon the production Of his parch-
ment or certificates. SO the applicant
for the position of instructor in our
primary and other schools should be
required by law to first produce his
diploma, his authority to teach. from
the normal schools.
