HARDING C0NFERS
ON SUGAR PRICES

The Department of Justice investi-
cation of sugar prices was carried a
step further in a conference today
between President Harding and Act
ing Attorney General Seymour.
The acting attorney general yes
terday forwarded to the President a
report on the departments inquiry up
to that time, and it was considered at
the cabinet meeting. The call of Mr.
Seymour at the White House. today
was generally INTERPRETED as meaning
velopments.
Wadsworth Sees President.
Senator Nadsworth, repe eblican. New
York, also discussed the sugar ques-
ton with the President, PRESENTING
observations made by him curing a
recent visit to Cuba. Jamaica, and
Panama. He said his study of ,ondi-
tions i'll Cuba had convinced him that
production there this year would be
about 20 per cent below normal.
This condition, Senator Wadswort
said. was due first to the low price,;
y
caused the Cuban planters to neglect
their crop. and, second. to drought in
the island. The normal Cuban crop is
about 100000 tons. but the senator
declared his discussions with plant
ers led him to believe not more than
100000 would be produced this year.
Prices realized by the Cuban plant
ers on raw sugar. Senator Wadsworth
reported, averaged at present about
54 cents per pound. as compared to
cents a pound received three or
four months ago.
1t was learned also today that the
President ard Attorney General
Daugherty, who is i'll at Asheville
N. c., have had several long g-distance
telephone conversations, during which
the sugar question was discussed
final course of action. it was said, had
not been developed. but an early de-
cision was forecast.

Weck-minded Children
BY III. Addington Bruce.

Heartily 1 indorse suggestion adj
vanced by Professor Arnold Gesell of
Yale Universit. with regard to increased
public provision for the training Of men
tally defective children. 1t is Professor
Geselrs belief that there should be spe-
cial kindergartens for these poor little
unfortunates.
As he truly says:
1T serves no purpose to emphasize
that fact that "Reminiscences is in
durable. 1t is more important to recog-
nize that most feeble-minded children
and that with certain readjustments and
safeguards they can maintain a place
for themselves in community life"
1t may be objected that already there
are schools and classes for the educa-
ton of detectives, and that much good
is accomplished through these. The
point, however, is that far more good
could be accomplished if the schooling of
the week-minded were begun at an ear
lier age than it now commonly is.
AS things stand, detectives usually
receive next to no education until they
reach school age. II their parents at
tempt to enter them in the ordinary
kindcrSartens they are told to wait q
little longer" Their entrance even into
special classes may be delayed on the
ground that Sin another year or two
your child will be more ready for the
education he is fitted to receive"
Yet the fact is that the longer the
education of detectives is postponed the
less able will they be to profit from any
kind of education. Whereas. by begin
ming to educate them so soon as their
deficiency becomes evident-which. as a
rule. means in the early years of life
an unexpected degree of mental devel-
Opment may be obtained. 10
Often it may then turn out that the
( deficiency noted is more q product of
| unfavOrable environment than of Unborn
weakness of mentality. In which case
an early start in education, may insure
a normality that otherwise would never
| be obtained.
To quote a foremost authority on the
| subject of feeble mindedness. Professor
Lighter Wilmer of the University Of
! Pennsylvania: H. &sst
Because a child of sixteen or twenty
presents a hopeless case of feeble-mind'
edness. this is no evidence that proper
treatment instituted at an earlier age
might not have determined an entirely
different course of development"
And. to similar effect, We find Pro.
fessor GcSell insisting:
TOO frequently diagnosis and ad
vice are not forthcoming until the de-
fective child has become Of school age
How much we could do in an education
! al way by giving more systematic at
tention to the pre-school years of defec'
tive children, no one knows"
| Certainly. on the other hand, the in
creasing menace end burden of weak
mindedncss is well known. Anthint
J which gives promise of lessenirg this
as Professor Gescll's special kindergar
ten plan would seem to give promise
deserves to be put to the test of actua
trial.
