EXPERT DESCRIBES

Dr.. Lorenz Says Majority

Feeble. Minded.

More than 10000 former service
men were In penal institutions of the
United States last year, said DR..
w. F. Lorenz, professor of psychiatry
of the University Of Wisconsin, at a
morning session of the national con-
ference of social work in the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
The general topic discussed was
Mental Attitude and Intelligence as
Social Health Factors" DIR. Haven
Emerson OF Columbia University
presided. Other speakers on this sub
ject were DR.. Frankwood E. Williams.

Mental Attitude as a Social Factor"
and DR.. William A. White, super
intendent of ST. EliZabeth's Hospital

termining Social Attitudes"
Describes Recent Study.
DR.. Lorenz described the results Of
medical experts connected with the
State University Medical School OF
Wisconsin.
THE ma1ority Of the former service
men examined in prison were found to
be mentally abnormal, and a high per
centage were feebleminded. with less
intelligence than normal nine-year-
old children" said DR.. LorenZ. "One
man who was definitely insane while
in military service committed muir
der ten days after his discharge, OF
which he has now no knowledge. He
was insane when the crime was COM
mitted.
The mentally abnormal and feeble
minded within the prison should be
segregated and breach of prison dis
cipline by the irresponsible should
not be punished in the same manner
tally responsible. Proper vocational
training in the penal institutions Is
necessary in order to rehabilitate the
men. Prison management VIII be a
simpler task if modern scientific
methods are employed to classify the
prisoners"
Value of Tests.
DR.. Robert NJ. Yerkes of the Ma
tional Research Council here empha-
sized the Importance of Intelligence"
in conserving public health.
Dr. Yerkes said: There is much ado
about intelligence testing. and many
are the wise and foolish claims and no
advances steadily. In
1875. practical measurement was un-
recognized. perhaps also non-existent.
and never in human history. so far
as we have been able to discover. had
mans experience and behavior been
observed Systematically as an aid to
medical, hygienic, educational or eco
nomic progress. In 1900 the scientific
study of these aspects of human life
comprehended in the term psychology
was we'll begun and appreciation OF
the practical Significance of such In
formation was manifest We know
the status Of the science of mental
at this time. Progress
has been rapid and on the whole
eminently safe. We may not believe
all that is claimed. for there are In
as we'll as unscrupulous
persons in the camps Of psychologists
and psychiatrists. Conservation and
caution are in order. 1t is wise and
we'll to prove all things, but 1t Is also
necessary that we have faith In the

FRANCE DEVELOPING HOSPITAL
YORK u. S. RED CROSS BEGAN

Among the interesting women at
tending the National Conference of
Social Work Is Mile. Marguerite
Nouffiard. general director of the
hospital social work in Paris, who
spoke today on hospital work In
France.
THE message which I wish to
bring to you Americans" said Mile.
Noufflard, sis that the splendid work
begun. by your Red Cross in France
during the war is not only kept up,
but is growing all the time. We are
going on with IL and learning con-
stantly from the methods you taught
us.
Ten years ago hospital social serv-
Ice was unknown In France. In 1920.
when the Red Cross left Paris, there
were eight hospital social servica di-
visions working under two organiZa-
tons. Today there are twenty-six
under one organization"
Nile NouHard expressed great ad-
;nlration for the high degree of or
sanitation in the social service de-
nartment of some New York hospi-
tails.
Mile. Noufflard had a distinguished
record as nurse during the war
She was head of a clearing hospital
just established in the Aisne valley
when that territory was captured by
the Germans in 1914. Although she
as the only woman to remain, she
stuck at her post and cared for fifty
men, some Of them wounded Germans,
until the battle tide turned and the
territory was reoaptured by the allies
several months later. She was

I'VE need these humanitarian ac-
tivities not only to promote interna-
tional good will by helping others, but
in order to help ourselves and to in
crease our own capacity for sound
and helpful influence in international
relations. We need among our own
people the unifying influence OF hu-
manitarian work, in which all races
represented in our population cooper
ate to secure common ends.
United When Necessary.
There are those who speak OF
American cooperation in interna-
one mind and had one voice. When
there is 4 dominant American inter
est or supreme issue transcending
racial differences we have displayed
a most gratifying degree OF unity
and an extraordinary power of con-
cent-ated effort. But when there is
no such dominant issue and questions
involving foreign political interests
arise, we exhibit, because OF our
racial divisions, not simply the nor
NAL divereences of opinion always
to be expected in Il democratic COM
munity, but the viewpoints, contro-
versies and rival interests of Euro
pean countries.
You are celebrating the accom-
plishment of fifty years. but you are
at the threshold of achievement. and
not only the future well being OF
individuals. but the assurances Of
peace itself as the essential condi-
ton of social welfare are largely

while there is no monopoly or trust
in the tobacco industry, such as is de-
scribed in the legislation Of 1911"
said Mr.. De Pills, "a chain of tobacco
stores dominated by a manufacturing
concern works like q monopoly"
When a system Of chain stores is so
dominated. he explained. it is difficult
for an independent manufacturer to
distribute his products.
I'VE have in New York q jobber'a

en- social workers in that country and
president Of the German National
Conference Of Social Schools, Of which

This work not only offers greater
chances for usefulness and advance
ment. but Is better paid than other
work open to women. Men are just
beginning to enter 1t. Preliminary
training is required for entrance to
these training schools for social
work, just as 10 required for nursing

From 80 to So per cent Of births. he
said. are not attended by physicians,
and the lying-in state in all probability
receives less than one-third the medical
care which it should have.
Sees Infancy Neglected.
Infancy. while a normal state Of
being, Is an enfeebled state. always
in danger Of disease from undeveloped
adjustment to the ordinary conditions
of life and high susceptibility to in
fections. and q condition OF being that
requires scientific medical supervision
and guidance not only for the sick,
but for the well. The needs Of infancy
for medical services are not one-fifth
supplied under present conditions.
The age OF childhood. with from 10
to 90 per cent OF its population mall
nourished. 20 per cent with defects
OF vision. per cent with diseased
tonsils and adenoids. 75 per cent in
entire group made more susceptible
and less resistant to the common in
fections on account of these condi-
tions that impair vitality. needs not
less than five times the medical serv-
ice which this age group now re-
ceives.
Asks More Adult Care.
''The period of adolescence. with the
temptations Of sex abnor1nalities and
venereal diseases. presents an enormous
problem physically and psychically. with
medical services inadequate and GER
tainly not more than one-hfth supplied.
Adult life. according to extensive,
ity. is not receiving one-ffth the medi-
cal attention which its needs demand.
''If II were possible within the course
of the next decade or two for medicine
to catch UP with existing surplus Of de-
feet and disease. the opportunity for
health promotion, for improving the
health. the vitality and efficiency Of the

US and would constitute a problem en-
bracing the entire population, and one
vastly larger than that which concerns
