Mental Deficiency
Forms in Youth
Declares DIR. Gesell

Detroit, Oct. 16.-Virtually every
case of mental deficiency recorded
has its origin during the formative
period of the life of the person af-
fected. in the opinion of DR.. Geseli,
Phi. D., director Of the Yale Psyche
Clinic and professor of child hygiene
at Yale University. who addressed
the delegates to the annual conveu-
ton of the American Child Health
Association at today's session.
Discussing 1.-THE Pre-school Child
as a Health Problem" DR.. Gesell
made an earnest plea for a more
intensive effort by individuals and
| organizations to improve the health
and the mental equipment of the
child from two to six years old, who
so long has been neglected.
1.-THE pre-school child Is being
rediscovered." he said. "A few years
ago the pre-school period of child
hood was picturesquely called the
No Mans Land" in the field of pub
lie endeavor. 1t was pointed out
that there were social provisions to
protect the new born infant and
compulsory safeguards for boys and
girls of the school age; but that
the fodder and run about did not
have our official concern.
But all this is changing now.
The NO Mans Land is beginning to
look like a frontier settlement. Out
! posts have been established, Survey
ors are on the ground. There is
every indication that the health and
development of pre-school children
are coming under systematic social
control"
DR.. Gesell said that a misappre-
tension that the child outgrows its
childishness might be responsible
for this lack of interest of the past.
Children grow into things they learn
in the school period. he asserted,
and added that it was safe to say
that from a medical and psy-
geological standpoint the basic lines
of both physical and mental organ
ization are laid down during the
formative pre- school years.
"Onc- third of the deaths of all the
nation occur below the age of six, y
the speaker continued, land there
are ten times as many deaths during
the half-decade of pre-school Life
as during the following full decade
of school life. Even physical ac-
cidents bear with special weight on
the pre- school child. Susceptibility
to infection is generally greater the
younger the child. Virtually 80 per-
cent Of all cases Of diptheria and of
all deaths from diptheria occur be-
fore the age of five. Health work
here pays highest dividends"
The speaker made an especial plea
for mental development. of children
| of this age. He declared that what
Is true of the physical Is true of
the mental effort and that mental
DEVELOPMENT would &rcase with
physician development with cor
responding velocity.

A Worthwhile Meeting
Planned for Cotton Men

Although the fall meeting of the
National Association OF Cotton
Manufacturers. to be held in Boston
on Oct. 81 and Nov. l, will attract
cotton men from all parts of the

fact, be of very great Importance TO
the cotton industry of New England.
The collection of modern and his
toric cottons to be made by the Ma:
tional Association at the Interna-
tional Textile Exposition in Boston
from Oct. % to Nov. 3, the experts
say, will be a great inspiration to
the designers and students of design
in New England, and will show the
public the close relationship between
the high artistry in textile expression
and development OF a satisfactory
market for cotton goods manufac-
tured in New England.

Robin A Real Yankee

The robin is the most American OF
all the birds. He is a scrappy bird
and fights for his rights without
mincing speech. He is an early bird
and a go-getter. He gets first pick
of nesting sites in the spring and
first pick at the worms every NOM
ing. When he hops around on the
ground he sticks his chest out. lie
has his own beauty. his own strength
and his own plainness. His song is
lyrical. but virile and strong. His
nest is not beautiful INTELLECTUALLY
but there is sturdy masonry in 1t.
He builds it of mud and grass,
which among birds amount to re-
inforced concrete. He would not
look SO heroic as an eagle on a silver
dollar. but he is this nations proto-
tvpe and no one need be ashamed of
that. He is much better astron-
omer. too. than the rooster and never
tries to outguess nature in the morn
ing. He rises scientifically with the
sun. And when he goes mining fog'
a long worm. after listening to learn
where the worm Is walking around
under the ground, he braces his feet,
leans back and pulls like an athlete
playing at the tug-o'- war.-Ex-
change.

MANY Of them are not Germans.
The fortunes earned by some of
these young spectators are reported
to be enormous, and their expchdi-
