CLARENDON, Va, June 5.-What
is to be done with wayward children
is proving a serious problem in Ar
lington County. Authorities say
there is no law under which incorri-
gibles under sixteen years of age
may be handled or punished or their
parents held responsible for acts
which they may commit against So
ciety.
The seriousness of the situation
was brought to the attention of the
its meeting at the Court House when
Sheriff Howard b. Fields, asked by a
member to investigate a specific ju-
venile case, stated that there was
nothing he could do.
Believing that something can be
done to remedy the situation, the
federation voted for appointment OF
a committee of five to investigate e
the matter. Those assigned to the
work are: Hugh Reid of ThTifton,
chairman; l. Michaels of Lyon Park,
Mrs. n. Rex Hunt of Clarendon. Frank
G.. Campbell of Virginia Highlands
and James g. Pepper of Bancroft.
The federation went on record in
dorsing the action of the board of
supervisors in inauguraung a trash
collection service. The motion also
urges the sheriff 10 take note of peo-

SAYS GENIUS WORKS
MIRACLES IN YOUTH
DR.. E. E. Slosson Says View Often
Wrong That Science Progress
Is Due to Maturity.
CITES NEWTON AND EINsTEIN
University Degrees Con-
ferred on Large Number.

The view that scientific progress is
the work of maturity is often wrong,
DR.. +. r. Slosson, nationally known
writer on scientific subjects, declared
at the convocation of American Uni
versity yesterday afternoon in Me
mortal Continental Hail. DIR. Slos-
son spoke on How Genius Works"
He cited numerous great general
izations as the work OF youthful
minds. and pointed out that
prccocity is more likely than not to
be a characteristic of genius.
The early years of adolescence are
the periods of sweeping generaliza-
1ion. of cosmical theorizing, of wild
speculation. of unbound ambition"
he said. "A study of the biographies
of great scientists shows that many
of the most important and reVolu-
tionary CONGRATULATIONS of science had
been conceived in youth. often in the
latter teens or the early twentieS,
though 1t required lifetime of labor
to Substantiate them. One of the
factors in scientific progress, the free
formation of bold hypothesis, is al
lied to the creative capacity OF the
artist. musician or poet, and normally
appears at an early age.
DR.. Slosson cited Newton. Elm
stein and such present-day scien-
lists as Behr and Moseley as meh
who had done their greatest worh
during their youth.
There are two theories of genius"
he continued. Some say thar genius
is merely another name for hard
work, that inspiration means per-
spiration, that genius is an infinite
capacity for taking pains. Others
say that great achievement can
only be accomplished by great man,
and he does it easily. that bright
ideas come to one in moments of re-
Taxation, not at times of intense
concentration. Obviously neither of
these theories can include all cases.
There must be flashes OF insight.
There must also be long continued
both kinds of ability combined in the
same Individual. When they are we
find the true man of genius

necessary either surgical operation
