Here is small bit Of a long bulletin from
the federal bureau of education about back
ward children and what they need: ''Thus
each exceptional subject accentuates himself
along lines of transmissible race eccentricities
and not to any exceptionally vague physio-
psychological archetype.'' In these days of
paper shortage and high costs a man who
thinks that way ought to be made to pay for
his own printing.

guarantee against the repetition of crimes is
the punishment of the criminals' Is that not
the theory on which justice has been melted out

fiendish atrocities wholesale robbery and ruin,

command. Approved by the German pulpit
and press and endorsed by public opinion, these
offenses against divine and human laws,

committed only too cheerfully by the German

things are to escape punishment on what theory
should any criminal anywhere be punished

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCHES AID IN
HELPING SOLDIERS

Working through the central comforts
forwarding committee Of the Christian
Science Church in Boston. nearly 900
comforts committees. scattered through
out the nation. are taking a large part
in the work OF supplying clothing and
other articles to mitigate the hardships
Of the soldiers and other war sufferers
on the other side.
For the large amounts Of articles sent
and the excellence OF these supplies, the
Christian Science workers have drawn
much praise from members of other
war relief bodies. i- =---f-.
During the first three months Of the
committees work. about $500 articles
have been sent. One American, ship has
been supplied with enough knitted arti
cles. totalling $500 pieces. to equip all
the sailors on board.
A feature OF the Comforts Forward.
ing Committees work which has
brought splendid results Is the ''unit
system" OF preparing new garments
for refugee children. Ten OF the COM
mittee were first instructed in the
making OF a model garment. each Of
the ten instructed ten others and the
latter became captains OF teams of
ten others whom they in turn in
structed- Two groups of team cap
tains meet at the comnittee's rooms
every day to receive Instructions and
material for use by themselves and
the members OF their respective teams,
who work at leisure moments at home.
Thus lilo sewers are banded togeth-
er for this particular part OF the com
mittee's program and they are turning
out an average OF over 1000 garments
a week.

It is hoped there will be prompt ac-
