CARING FOR DETECTIVES

TN recent leaflet issued by the
Charities Association of Penn
sylvania, it is urged that now
is the time to try the experiment
so strongly advocated by experts in
the care of dependent, defective and
delinquent men and women. of
utilizing their physical power and
developing their mental and moral
strength, by permitting them to cul-
tivate the land.
Owing to the great need of extern
sive food production those who make
this suggestion contend that these
detectives would thus contribute
something to their own support, thus
lessening the burden of their care
by the community; they would be
taken out of idleness. which can do
nothing but harm to them and the
community; they would, perhaps,
contribute something to the general
surplus stock of foodstuffs in the
present emergency; they would re-
quire less of costly supervision and
restraint; they would regain, in some
part, their self-respect and normal
attitude toward society.
This interesting suggestion is re-
ceiving more than usual attention
under present circumstances and the
recommendation Z goes further in
pointing out the importance of estab-
fishing State industrial farms, the
development of agricultural indus
tries at State institutions and the
utilization to the fullest extent pos
sible of the farms connected with
county homes and almhouses.

NATIONAL CARE
OF LEpERS,

A bill providing for national
control of lepIosy has passed the
Lower House and ia now before
the Senate for action The ap.
preparation asked for is $3.50, 900.
While there are cases of leprosy
probably in every State, the total
is only about / 600
segregation is the most effective
method of controlling the disease,
and this number could be cared
for easily in one institution, both
to their own advantage and that
of the States which have as yet no
provision for them.
