NORTH DAKOTA BLIND BABIES

North Dakota was one. Of the. first
states to provide for it's blind from
the day of blindness. The State
school is not equipped to give Hos
pital and kindergarten care to blind
babies, admission to the State School
requires the child to be the regular
school age, and then the child is
supposed to be normal and able to
take care of its physical: needs.
For some years the state has been
sending blind children too young to
enter the State School to the Arthur
Home for Blind Babies, Headquarters
SO Fifth Avenue. New York City.
Some of these little ones have devel-
oped into normal beings, others prov
ed that they were mentally deficient
as we'll as blind, but the State has
never refused to give blind child
a chance. The hopeless children
have been returned to the state.
A report has. just come from the
Arthur Home, of which Mrs. John
Alden the women who has secured
SO much legislation in behalf of blind
babies, is the founder. She says that
two of the brightest children in the
Institution are from North Dakota
one Is Master Harris Lipsit of Ami
don, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Lipsit. His picture appears on the
cover of the International Sunshine
Bulletin for September, he is not only
bright child but a very beautiful
boy-2 years old.
Edna May Larson of Noonan, N.
D. is a beautiful little girl, now 3
years old already taking piano les
sons. Other children there are Nom
er Qualley, of Minot, and Margaret
Lesch, of Judsqn, N. D.
All blind babies of this state are
entitled to this special care and in
struction. The State also pays trans
portation to and from School, Moth
ers with blind babies should take ad
vantage of this law, and not permit
their little ones to grow up disqual-
ified to enter the State School when
they reach the proper age.

MADE MOCK Of SCIENTISTS
Man Emerged Unharmsd From Oven
In Which Chicken and Bread
Had Been Roasted.

For wager Of 5000 a man named
Martinez suffered himself to be practi-
cally baked alive some years ago in
Paris In the presence Of number of
scientists. He entered a huge oven,
specially built, after it had been heat
ed to a temperature Of 312 degrees
Fahrenheit, or about 100 degrees hot
ter than boiling water.
Then the door was closed, and he
was left alone for an hour, in company
with an uncooked chicken and an un-
baked loaf Of bread. Candles were
also provided that he might have light
during his incarceration-or inciner.
alton, as many people thought 1t would
turn out.
When he was released, however, he
was found alive and we'll, with the
chicken and loaf cooked to a turn. The
candles had become boiling tallow.
Martinez afterward repeated his per.
formance in Brussels, Milan and other
cities, but there must have been some
thing abnormal in his constitution
atnce Of several would-be emulators of
his feat none succeeded in staying out
the full hour, while two, at least, per-
ished miserably.
Probably his success was due in part
to the care he took to have every par
ticle Of moisture extracted from the
oven before he entered 1t, since it is a
well-known fact that hot, dry air does
not so adversely affect n human beinQ

who have been as free as bird on
the wing, shall nave to spend several
months in a school room. The law
compells children to attend school,
but have we done our share to make
.heir environment wholesome, safe
sanitary, and beautiful? The school
houses are the homes OF the child
rem for large part of the day
through the most plastic years of
their lives, the years in which they
are most responsive to Impressions
of beauty or OF ugliness, and when
their environment is, therefore, most
important.
The grass should be cut in all
school yards, and ashes and rubbish
of any kind removed. Toilets should
be put in sanitary condition, the law
requires that outdoor toilets should
have entries and double doors. A
thorough cleaning with soap and wa
ter is necessary. School rooms need
careful cleaning and most of them
need coat of light gray or light
tan paint. Cleanliness not only ex-
erts powerful influence upon ply
sical health, but also produces i'm
pOrtant effects upon minds and NOR
ais.
The windows should be repaired
so as to be lowered from the top;
chimneys and pipes need to be clean
ed and fixed so that the fresh air
intake and foul air outlet are in
working order; adjustable window
shades and certains should be Sc
cured wherever needed; there should
be seats suited to the size of the
pupils; some kind of closed drink
ing receptacle must be installed in
every school room.
Has your school a flag pole and a
flag. Is there playground equip
ment so the children may more easi-
ly be supervised during play periods
There should also be hot lunch equip
ment in every school,; when the cold
weather sets in, pupils are entitled to
a hot dish at noon.
improvement means work, but
whatever is spent in order to better
conditions for little children is time

the importance of scientific study of
delinquent children. Through a gift
from the Commonwealth Fund,
philanthropic foundation located in
New York City, this. division will
furnish temporarily to limited num-
Der of Juvenile courts, showing de-
finite interest, specially trained
staff. The staff will include psy-
chiatrist, a psychologist, and a social
worker. The division will also make
a series Of studies. of delinquency
in special population groups, beginn-
ing in Monmouth County, N. j.,
where an extraordinary opportunity
presents itself to study the school
children of county.
The Children's Bureau is cooperat-
ing with the Childrens Code Com
mission in making a general study of
juvenile, delinquency. and dependency
in North Dakota, with special atten-
tion to the problems involved in ex-
ICAOlAl6 JuVeNlle court WORK ana
other methods of child care in rural
communities. The Bureau has been
making a series Of Juvenile court
studies. and is also issuing series
of brief pamphlets written by author
tiles on Juvenile court work. Be-
cause it found so much diversity in
methods of court procedure and of
probation work, the Children's Bu-
reau in 1921, cooperated with the
National Probation Association call
ing conference of judges, proba-
tion officers, and others interested.
AS a result of this conference,
committee was appointed to advise
with the Bureau in formulating de-
tailed standards. The committee is
now at work, and it's conclusions
should be of value to those who are
interested in seeing that all children
in need of the protection of the ju-
venile court receive the benefits the
laws intend.

THE CARE OF DE-
LINQUENT CHILDREN

All states but two have recognized
the principle of the Juvenile court,
according to information furnished
by the United States Department of
Labor through it's Children-s Bureau.
But the difficulties of administration,
especially in small towns and rural
districts; are great.
The Minimum Standards for Child
Welfare adopted in 1912 by the con-
ferences held under the auspices of
the Children's Bureau, stated the fol-
lowing principles in reference to ju-
venile courts:
Every locality should have avail
able court organization providing
for separate hearings or clildren's
cases, special method of detention
for children, entirely apart from
adult offenders; adequate investiga-
tion for every case; provision for
supervision Of probation by trained
officers, such officers in girls cases
to be women; and system for re-
cording and filing social as we'll as
legal information.
Thorough case study should in
variably be made Provision for men
tai and physical examination should
be available"
1t is especially difficult in rural
districts to provide tained probation
officers and facilities for the physi-
cal and mental study of the child.
Yet the fundamental Importance of
probation service has long been ac-
knowledged, and more recently has
come recognition of the value of
scientific study of delinquent children
both the mentally defective and the
mentally normal. This study must
be carried on by experts, and is for
the purpose of discovering and rem
edying, if possible, the causes Of
the children's misbehavior.

sion on the prevention of delinquency

Hygiene is planning to demonstrate
