CARE OF SHELL SHOCK CASES.
Medical Department Profits by Brit
aims Experience with Them.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-In the
treatment of soldiers returning from
Europe the army medical department
will differentiate between the nervous
or so-called "shell shock cases and
those of the insane or mentally affected
and will treat the two classes in sepa-
rate institutions.
.SThe necessity of this policy was
emphasized by the early experience in
England asserted Surgeon General
Ireland of the army, (which, when
plunged into the war, had no special
preparation for the reception of the
nervous and mental cases which were
returned from France in such large
numbers. These patients, unclassified
and undistinguished, found their way
TO the insane asylums. The folly of this
soon became apparent and was cor
rected, but the lesson was one which
made a deep impression on the Medical
Department of the United States army
when its turn came to organize methods
for the distribution and treatment of
patients of these two classes.
The very first memorandum on
this matter which took form in the
office of the Surgeon General defined
the absolute necessity of sharp dis
tinction between purely nervous and
mental cases. This policy has been fol-
lowed out strictly in France, where
the evacuation and treatment hospital
| for the insane or so-called shell shock
leases are along quite different routes. :

GOING BACK TO THE ROD.
Agitation in England for Corporal Pun
ishment in Schools.

1t will be profitale to watch the out
come of the agitation recently renewed
in England for return to corporal pun
ishment as a disciplinary measure in the
schools Much can be deduced there
from as to the capacity OF the people for
handling a great moral issue. For if
teachers are permitted to whip bad boys,
we suppose there will be less sentiment
against thrashing them at home If the
rod is a good thing in the hands of a
principal, how much more salutary ought
it to be when welded by loving parent,
who is sure that it hurts him much more
than it does the unhappy victim.
One of the surprising developments OF
the last half century has been the decline,
almost to the vanishing point, of the old
practice Of cudgeling boys. There are
many men now living who in their boy
hood accepted certain number of sound
whippings as matter Of course One will
travel long way nowadays to find par
ten who thinks it necessary to lay on the
rod to avoid spelling the child The mod
crate spankings which some youngsters
occasionally get deserve no standing be-
side the old-fashioned chastisement in
which the well seasoned hickory and the
trunk strap played prominent part.
Yet there is no one, we think, who will
contend that boys of today are not as
well behaved, upon the whole. as their
grandfathers were at similar age Peo-
pie have not gone to the bow4bows since
the peach switch ceased to hang behind
every door. Not only our boys but our
unthrashed Young men seem to be as
manly and as soundly moral as those oil
any previous generation.
We have not however, been without sub
stitute measures for inducing correct be
havior. The Boy Scout activities, clean
and intelhgently supervised outdoor sports
segregation Of the subnormal, studies OF
boy psychology, furnishing of outlets fol-
the ebullient spirits of youth have dc
| complished real wonders. The doctrine OF
original sin as applied to boys no longer
has any great hold on us Acts which
we once regarded as evidence of deplavitt
are now seen to be mostly the product O
misdirected or undirected energy Tn,
proof OF the pudding is in the eating OF 1t
/ Those who believe that the boys OF today
] who are being reared without corpora
/ punishment. are the peers Of any boy
who eyer lived i'll any time will advisl
their English friends to proceed with eau

We used to have man in town
That belpcd at everything;

And teach Your bird to sing
And make boy a sling;
He'd treat" hen that Ionged to set,
He'd mend 4 goSIing's wing

They said he come from Warmers Jog,

He'd kinder twist his toes.

And shave a palpcr that was dead,
And rig a picnic swing,
And watch where canker rash had
