With and Without a Chance
One Coumty's Crop of
Defective Children

Society pays a heavy penalty for
the neglect Of its children" an
nounces the children's bureau of the
Department of Labor after a study
Of mental detectives in a rural
county made in an Eastern state.
One hundred and ninety-two
feeble-minded children were included
in the survey, and the bureau re-
ports that poverty, drunkenness and
delinquency were the environment
surrounding the children.
The report comments further:
"The county studied is backward
rural county, such as may be found
in many sections Of the United
States. 1t boasts no town Of more
than $500 inhabitants. Bad roads
and inadequate railroad facilities
keep living conditions primitive. In
a few homes spinning and weaving
are still done on old fashioned wheels
and looms handed down from Revo-
lutionary times. Whipping remains
punishment for larceny. School
and church 'socials' and yearly
camp meetings are about the only
recreational activities in the remotcr
districts. The towns present few
more advantages, but the general
'backwardncss' is reflected in the
nigh infant mortality and death rate
the prevalence Of child labor, the
lack OF proper educational facilities
and the absence Of provision for the
mentally retarded
