SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

10y ASAS 1uuAS A~s A~S~
TN considering the problem Of
l. delinquency in children as we'll
as In adults one must first deter
mine whether the immoral be-
havior, whatever 1t may be, is in
herent and primary in the indiVid-
uaI himself or whether it is Sec
ondary to some other disease con-
dition or mental disorder.
One might speak. therefore, Of
two varieties of moral deviation
from the normal, one being Pri-
mary Moral Deviation and the
other Secondary Moral Deviation.
Primary moral deviation in
cludes all cases of delinquency in
which no mental defect exists so
far as can be determined by psy-
Geological or other tests.
Most cases of delinquency. of
course, are not of this type. Most
of them are secondary cases.
That is, in secondary moral de-
vistion, the offenders are the way
they are because they are suffer
ing from another disease which
renders them morally incapable.
One cannot and should not, of
course, expect an insane or feeble
minded person to think and be"
have as does normal one.
One cannot expect a mental de
fective or a drug addict to think
and feel like person whose ofaln
cells are. not distorted, imperfect
ly developed. lacking in proper
number or poisoned.
Yet that is exactly what we
very often do.
To be sure, people and COM
munities and officials and prison
and refornlatory officers are COM
ing TO realize more and more that
delinquency, criminality, sex
transgressions in women, per-
sistent lying. ETC., are not, as
rule, diseases of and by them
selves, but rather symptoms of
another underlying disease state
that is responsible.
They are also beginning to ap-
preciate that the cure of these
DELINQUENT states lies not in pun
ishment, but ia an attempt to
cure the mental disorders that
cause the trouble.
To imprison and punish a thief
who is thief because he is sur
fering from mental defect Is as
absurd as to punish a child or
because he has thrown dia-
mond ring into the river.
Defective, insane and diseased
criminals are really children, sci.
entifically speaking.
| do not mean that they are in
nocent in the sense that child
is innocent. But they are limo
cent because they cannot distin'
guish right from wrong, and they
never will, no matter how they
are punished, unless the underly-
ing mental defect is corrected.
To cure such underlying defect
is not always possible.
Therefore, such persons should
be put away in proper hospital
type institutions and kept there.
But society should not assume
that all criminals know better and
are merely bad.
Arresting them, trying them,
imprisoning them and letting them
out only to return again and go
through the same treadmill of 30
called justice is as short-sightad
and expensive a policy as it is in
effective.
The cases of primary moral devi.
alton are. to be sure. a different
problem. A humane. sensibly,run
prison is the hest foT them.
