planned. This is additional education

growing generation must know the

charter, we are German church.

better patriots and Americans than
many of the loud -mouthed shouters
who only talk and do nothing. We
have sos sustaining members in our
church, although there are about 1000
who attend services. But only the sos

Bolsheviszn Causino
lrrlancy I i'm Schools,
Says DR.. Croszmann

The correlation existing between tru-
ancy among school children and the
spread of Bolshevism was strongly en-
plasized by Dr. Maximilian P. Z. Grosz-
mann, educational director of the Ma,
tlonal Association for the Study and
Education Of Exceptional Children. a.
the annual conference of tic associa-
ton held in the Hotel McAlpin yester-
day.
According to DR.. Groszmann truancy
has increased greatly within the past
two years. He added that it's progress
has been concurrent with the growth
of Bolshevism. Lack Of adequate super
vision during wartlnl. has aggravated
the situation.
Or. Groszmann pointed out that tru-
for Bolsnovislo. The brightest children,
nc said, took to it with the most avid
!ty, and in cases where they did not
have sufficient outlet for their cner-
gics through the ordinary school cur
riculum they We're doubly susceptible
to the irsidious influences Of Bolshev-
;stic teachings. He advocated the cs-
tabhshment of Federal bureau to take
charge Of the education of exceptional
children.
Hon. Samuel D. Levy. Judge of the
Children's Court, New York, advocated.
as an absolute necessity, the clinical
examination of all delinquent children
DR.. V. Neustedter challenged Judge
Levy to explain how this could be
done.
The clinical examination Of school
children was treated from the psyche
logicai angle by Dr.. Francis N. Max
field, psychologist OF the department of
medical inspection Of TIE Newark Pub
lie Schools. He argued that no psyche
logical tests could be used successfully
by rule Of thumb. Misinterpretation Of
these tests had done more than any
thing else to discredit their general
use he said

 Drastic measures will be taken to secure the conviction of those spreading the BolsheVik doctrines and those who are aliens will be summarly deported while natural Ized cItizens will be prosecuted un- der the espionage act.
