"CHICAGO'S HEALTH"
Weekly Bulletin, Chicago Department
of Healtil-The Moron-by Her
man N. Bundesen, M. D.,
Commissioner

"The menace OF the moron is con-
stantly with US and since so often a
death is involved it becomes problem
Of public health as we'll as Of public
safety.
Despite the vigilance OF the police
horrible crimes OF the moron will oc-
cur. Much OF the blame must be laid
at the door of the public" says DR.
Bundesen, in his latest bulletin.
ION the whole, the public is ignor-
ant Of the perilS of the unchecked
moron, or the fellow with a child's
mind and full-grown lusts. Mis-
guided pity and concealmeRt seem to
bar all efforts toward controlling the
mental defective until a terrible sex
crime arouses the people to the dan
ger and need for action" states the
Commissioner.
1--WE need a farm school and work
colony for the moron, where he may
be taught useful work That is one
way to reclaim him to useful citizen
ship. We need more social service in
the homes to help better conditions
for the moron; more interest in mental
hygiene on the part of parents, so that
as much care is given to the develop
ment Of we'll minds as is given to the
development Of well bodies.
Fear of punishment does not deter
morons from committing crimes. II
is not a problem OF the law, but OF
preventive medicine We must get rid
Of this condition just as we would any
communicable disease. But to do this
successfully there must be co-opera-
ton between parents, guardians and
the medical profession" advises DR.

one Of the best known men in the

ally drowned Wednesday morning in

Mr.. Eley was walking the banks OF

his age is verified by some Of the lead

days gone by" He had lived to see
practically every great modern i'm
provement come into use.
Frequently he would entertain
groups of people at the corner store
by telling them of the times when he
was boy and the people cooked in
fire places, rode in coaches and worked
by candle light. He told of corduroy
roads and Of when the now fertile
fields were heavily wooded forests;

Tarboro, n. c., Dec. 31.-According
to report made by w. H. Pittman
superintendent OF schools in Edgecombe
county, the rural Negro population in
Edgecombe county is increasing more
than twice as rapidly as the rural
white population.
How are our farms to feed and
clothe this ever increasing rural popu-
lation?" Mr.. Pittman asks. Can we
hope to do this through the growing
of cotton?"
TO solve this problem" he says
necessarily involves the making OF
more food and foodstuffs at home in
the future, and the growing of less
cotton. This seems to me to mean
that the plan for farm crop diversified
ton, cotton acreage reduction and con-
scious cooperation in these matters
are absolutely necessary. The plan
proposed by State College and the
Farm Demonstration Service is the
best possible plan l believe we should
adopt it in our county.
The application Of intelligence to
our life problems is vital to our wei
fare. We must make possible the
spread of intelligence and understand
ing among our people, both adult
farmers and farm-bred children"
