RAILROAD MEMORIAL.

The railroad memorial says in part.
Whereas, postwar and reconstruc-
ton conditions have brought these
United States Of America many prob
lens of great import, and perhaps one
Of the greatest Importance is the
question of government control or
ownership OF the railways of the
United States.
And. whereas. our president has
turned to congress for counsel on this
momentous subject, admitting his in
ability to solve the problem.s.
And, whereas, the management of
the railroads by the government under
the present arrangement has not been
productive of efficient service to the
public, and would not be satisfactory
In times Of peace. and "a continuation
Of the present course would create and
continue unsatisfactory economic con-
ditions throughout the United States.
And, whereas, we feel that tho con
Eress OF the United States will, by be-
ing Informed by public sentiment, be
better able to solve and direct the
course of the problem, and recognizing
the necessity of relnquishing control
of the railroads as quickly as possible,

of following out this plan at the
present time appears to lie in the
scarcity Of institutions to which
these people can be sent. At the
present high cost Of building the
state does not feel that it can af
ford to erect such institutions.
There are, however, unused wings
IN several Of the penal institutions
throughout the state which could be
fitted up to accommodate these pa
tients, IN which they would be quite
apart from the ether inmates, and
the Commissioner Of Prisons has
recommended that these be utilized
for this purpose
If we begin now to give proper
treatment to all mentally deficient
children, the next twenty years
should see diminution Of at least
so per cent in the number of the
inmates of our prisons. So it all
comes back 10 the need for more
clinics and detention hospitals for
the feebleminded and imbecile chill
dren of to-day, who, if they are not
segregated from the normal minded
population, will constitute half Of
tho so-called criminals of the CON-
ing years. ELENE FOSTER.

treatment than is afforded by the
ordinary routine methods employed
In the average penal institutions;
that from q to 80 per cent of such
inmates are feebleminded and only
possess the intelligence of the
average American child Of twelve
years or under.
"Those who have given much
thought to the subject" the report
continues, "feel that the establish
ment of clearing houses with medi-
cal clinics, through which will pass
those sentenced to the various penal
and correctional institutions of the
state after prolonged study and
effort at reconstruction, there to be
distributed to the various penal in
stitutions in the light Of the needs
Of each case, is the best way of
handling the problem"
If ever there was truth in the
saying that "an ounce of prevention
Is worth pound Of cure" the case
in hand proves it, for the cost to
the state to prevent criminality,
prostitution, insanity and the like is
very much less in every way than
to try to cure it after it has de-
| veloped, or 70 pay for it's care when

feebleminded man, an inmate of
one Of our state prisons, who is at
present serving his fortieth term.
When one considers that every trial.
even though the prisoner pleads
guilty, costs the state a minimum
Of 500, one cannot but wish that
the $4,000 which this poor wretch
has cost the state had been devoted
to better cause and that he had
been sent in his youth to an institu-
ton which would have given him
the needed care.
The plans for the new prison at
Sing Sing provide for an entire
wing which is to be used as a clear
ing house for the men who have
been convicted of a crime but whose
mental state is questionable If,
after being submitted to the tests,
these men are found to be mentally
defective they will be committed to
an institution which Will be estab-
lished for the purpose of caring for
them and keeping them out Of
harms way.

same sort of investigation for
women criminals might be carried
on at Bedford Hills. The difficulty

cure has been found impossible.
The time to weed out the men,
tally deficient and put them away
where they can do no harm is dur
ing their childhood. This can be
done by the public schools, the well
fare societies and the children s
courts, working in conjunction with
clinics like the POSTGRADUATE Hos
pital, enlarged by the addition of a
detention hospital where the child
can remain a week or ten days
under the surveillance of specialists
on mental diseases. Only in this
way can we rid our prisons Of that
so per cent of criminals who have
no right to be there.
The great majority Of what are
known In prison parlance as "recid-
ivists"-that is, criminals who have
served prison terms again and again
-"chronic repeaters," so to speak,
are feebleminded. One can easily
account for this, for they are the
easy tools Of any clever criminal
who wishes to use them and who
plans his own getaway" leaving
the unfortunate imbecile TO suffer

we did not comprehend one-half Of
its Importance to the community

Rosy's Case Is
Typical

The writer visited the clinic at
Bellevue. There was long line
OF waiting children with their moth
ers and the doctor called attention
to the first child in the line, saying
she was typical of large group Of
such children. Rosy was a bright
eyed Russian Jewish girl of twelve
years and the doctors brow regis
tered encouragement as he glanced
over her weight and noted her con-
dition. He addressed the mother:
"Well, mother, so Rosy still goes
to the movies at night?"
mo, DOCTOR" protested Rosy.
The doctor shrugged his shoul-
ders, but the expression Of doubt
persisted. ''Not even once in a
while?"
Rosy grew confused and looked
beseechingly at her mother, who
flushed, and then answered, "Only
few times, doctor, honest, only a
few times"
The doctor smiled little YEARLY,
though altogether tenderly, and
spoke earnestly to the mother:

lew persons outside OF the
' medical and nursing profess
sions know of the prevalency
Of cardiac (or heart) disease among
children, yet hospital statistics
showing the numbers of these little
sufferers are little less than start
ling.
Some idea Of the city problems
may be gathered by figures COM
piled from the school examinations.
Or. Josephine Baker, Of the Child
Welfare Bureau, says they show
$4,000 public school children suf-
fering from this condition. In the
Huddleson Memorial Clinic at
Bellevue Hospital there are at pres
ent 402 children under care and
supervision
Several Of the schools have estab-
ished special classes to meet the
needs peculiar to these children. In
the main these are lack of strain
and excitement, ground floor class
rooms {out of doors whenever pos
sble), guided play supervised &C.
t.vities and special attention to the
child's nutrition. This may mean
school lunches and extra milk SUD-
Piled when the child's family is
found to be too poor to provide the
essential quantity.

laudatory account of his virtues
from the unknown person at the
other end of the wire. The casual
manner of the would-be EMPLOYER
IN regard to this inquiry does not
tend to make the employment
agency any more particular.
Domestic service offers excellent
opportunities to experienced crimi.
nails, and they are not slow to take
advantage Of these. The investiga-
ton of recent jewel robbery. com.
mitted by the butler in a family lust
outside New York. disclosed the fact
that the culprit had served 10 less
than four terms In the prisons OF
different states for similar offenses.
A thorough investigation Of the
applicants for positions as domestic
servants is every bit as Important
as it is to investigate the past career
of the employe of a banking house.
