taken at the request of the Delaware
| Cooperative Educational Association
and the Public Health service also en-
gagged.
The report afforded general evidence
as to the social injury and personal
suffering caused by the presence in
any community of mentally defective
persons who lack suitable care. The
conditions found in Delaware are of
nation wide interest because they are
typical of large areas of this country
in which there is no adequate provis-
ion for the protection of the feeble
minded.
No state has as yet made adequate
provision for mental detectives. In
consideration how best to meet the
need for increased care and protection
It is coming to be recognized that the
problem is a complex n which can
not be solved by any n method.
The adequacy of the care and protec-
ton which can be given a mentally
defective individual in his W home
depends upon the economic {
stances and character of the family.
Furthermore, mental detectives vary
as to the kind of care and training and
the amount of supervision needed.
Public provision for the care and pro-
lection of mental detectives is urgent
ly needed for two classes:
/. Those who are delinquent, de-
generate, OF uncomfortable and thus
constitute a n to the home,
school and community.
2. Those who are deprived of nor-
NAL home life or whose families can
not give them the necessary care and
protection.
All Predetermined persons, both chill
dren and adults, should be registered,

hood and properly cared for 81 rs not
to become a menace to the public vel
fare.
If parents or friends are unwilling
or incapable of doing these things all
mentally affected persons should be
1orcibly placed in State Institutions
for that purpose.
The commencement in the neal fu-
ture of a campaign for money to COM
plete the Home for Feeble Minded will
arouse Delaware entirely to the need
Of accommodation for the 1000 still
neglected. The personnel of the COM
mission indicates that the future effort
will be made in line with the we'll
Known public spirit of its members
and of the donors to the fund now in

Delaware to Have Home for Feeble
Minded

A great work in Delaware will see
the beginning of fruition when the
Delaware Building, the first dormitory
in Sussex county, is all ready for occu-
pancy, April 1st. In accordance with
the wish of the Delaware Commission
for the Feeble Minded the sum of near
ly $1,000, which has been raised by the
commission through personal sub
scription, was used to purchase the
farm which is the site of the new in
stitution. The appropriations of the
State of $4,000 for 1918, $4,000 for
1919, and $4,000 for 1920 will be used
for the building and equipment. The
plans of the New Jersey home for
Feeble Minded at Vineland N. j., will
be followed, where it is possible, with
an effort to have the first Admins
tration Building as the first memorial,
the dormitory now in building will
house about so persons. When it is
considered that there are about 1000
feeble minded persons scattered
throughout the State, the commissions
plan to soon inaugurate a campaign
for money with which to provide fur
Their accommodations can be appreclat-
ed.
Mrs. Selden S. Deemer of New Cas-
tie, chairman of the commission, feels
encouraged by the progress now at
tanned in the work, and feels sure of
continued support for the home. Con"
tributions ranging from $25 to $4,000
have been received from prominent
citizens, principally in Wilmington and
New Castle.
The home is an area of 300 acres

modern improvements. 1t is built of

purchased at a cost of $4,000. The
land is fertile and it is the plan of the
commission to operate a poultry yard
and do small trucking, as the inmates
could assist with the work, which
would furnish a healthful occupation.
The necessity for an institution in
Delaware in which feeble minded per-
sons may be segregated owes its ORR
gin to the Federation of Women's
Clubs in the State through Mrs. Frank
Morton Jones, who is president of the
Children's Bureau. Mrs. Jones did the
first work towards establishing a re-
lief campaign having been begun six
years age. Throughout this time

deferred them from meeting the terri

cation of the feeble minded. Mrs.

rotary, William X. Morgan treasurer.

Burnet, Thomas F. Gormley, Robert

In 1917, through Mrs. Deemer's

the smaller representation be obtain
ed without reducing the number OF
congressmen from his particular
state, each OF The 435 members would
vote for the smaller House. But as
that cannot be, each member puts

TY COBB, THE BULLY, THE
CRACKER, TO LEAD THE
DETROIT TIGERS.

In speaking of Ty Cobb, the Georgia
Peach, who was selected this week
to manage the Detroit Tigers, several
of the local papers spoke of Cobb's
fighting ability. Yes, Ty should have
been a prize fighter instead of a ball
player. The Negroes of this country
will never forget his cowardly attack
on a poor d~efenseless Negro chamber
maid last year in a Detroit hotel. No,
Ty, you have been a great player, one
of the greatest in all times, but what
ever regard the Negro baseball fan
had for you has gone. You not only
lost your good Negro friends but hun
dreds of Whites. AS far as we are
concerned you will be a failure as
leader of the Detroit Tigers. Cobb
never would report at the training
camp until near the time for the
opening of the season. He now states
that he will be the first to report this
spring. A poor follower is a poor
leader. If he would not work for
Hugh Jennings, then he should not
expect the boys to respect him.
