SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DE-. Q. a. q. Reed-

VOU should understand that
!. every manifestation Of char
acter, good or bad, in your child
il the effect OF some cause. In
the study OF criminal tendencies
in children it is found that the
majority Of the victims belong
to the mentally retarded class.
Among children Of this class the
cause of the criminal tendency
was found by Pearson to be the
continuance of a childish reaction
beyond the age at which it could
be regarded as merely childish
and therefore pardonable.
For instance, child OF nearly
eight with a mental age Of six
was said to be an ungovernable
temper. At school, however, he
was docile and honest, though
backward. Investigation showed
that he was devoted to his father
and intensely jealous Of his
mother. Whenever his father
showed affection to his mother
the child got furiously angry
and stole from her. He never
stole from anyone else. Now
this kind of jealousy, though it
may be distressing to the parents,
is not really abnormal at the
age of six. It is in the years
after six that the little boy begins
to learn a wider conception OF
his place in the family and the
world.
Another way in which mentally
defective children come to be
thieves is through simply want
ing something and taking 1t,
without any realization that they
must consider to whom it belongs.
AS normal children grow up they
learn abstract ideas of right and
wrong, and these inhibitions are
usually commensurate with mem
tai age, though largely dependent
on the kind of discipline the child
has experienced. In such cases the
first thing to do is to take the
child away from a careless, cratic
home and put him in an atmos-
phere of stability, understanding
and discipline.
Twenty-three of the cases exam
ined by Pearson had no fault in i'm
teIligence. In most of them there
was a story of neurosis in one or
both parents. 1t was found that
even mild degrees of nerve trou-
BILE in the parents might cause
neurosis and delinquency in the
child because of the uneven atmos-
phere with which the child is sur
rounded in the home. Although
development between the ages of
IS and Is might often bring the
child under notice, it hardly ever
really causes delinquency. 1t &C
centuates trouble which was al
ready there, and in these cases it
was nearly always possible to find
a record of abnormal traits some
years before puberty.
Every child in this group, In
particular, must be investigated
separately. The underlying causes
are as various as the children
themselves. They, In turn, vary
with their environments. A salts
factory result can only he obtained
by understanding the mechanism
causing the delinquency In each
child.

This city is fortunate in having. in

street, a concern that employs ex-
pert furriers and maintains a place
to properly care for furs. This is
unusual in a city the size Of Put
nam.
Nothing is more discouraging than
to take out fur garment in the fall
and to find that the moths have fat
tened on it and ruined IL. or that be-
cause, being improperly put away, the
fur is falling out leaving what APP
pears to be bald spots" Thousands
of dollars are lost, are wasted, every
year because these valuable garments
are not entrusted to those who know
how to put them away in the spring
so that they may reappear in the
fall in just as good condition as when
put away. This is what the New
England Fur Company is doing for
its growing number of customers. An
