phan children. the boys and girls con-
cerned in the child labor problem. He
discussed their crowding into cities,
their need Of special adjustment to a
machine age.
Whole Social Fabric Involved
The problems of the child are not
always the problems of the child
alone" he said. I'm the vision Of the
whole Of our social facric We have
loosened new ambitions, new energies;
We have produced q complexity Of life
for which there is no precedent. With
machines v e enlarging mans power
and capacity, with electricity extend
ing over the world its magic. with the
air giving us a wholly new realm, our
children must be prepared to meet
entirely new contacts and new forces.
They must be physically strong and
mentally placed to stand up under the
increasing pressure of life. Their prob
lem Is not alone one Of physical
health, but of mental, emotional, spir-
itual health"
Too Many Millions Deficient
The chief executive told the confer
ence that the problem falls into three
groups: First, the protection and slim
ulation Of the normal; second, aid to
the physically defective and hanoi
capped child; third. the problem OF
the delinquent child.
Asserting that of As, 900 900 children
II $1,000. 900 are deficient, with more
than 90 per cent Of these not receiving
the necessary attention, the president
said I'VE must get to the cause of
their handicaps from the beginnings
Of their lives; we must not leave n
Of them uncared for"
MI. Hoover said that In dealing with
the complex problems of the delin-
quent child I'VE need to turn the
method of inquiry from the punish
ment Of delinquency to the causes OF
delinquency" He added that 1T is not
the delinquent child that Is at the bar
Of judgment, but society itself"
Industry must not rob our children
Of their rightful heritage. the presi-

which stunts growth, either physical

These are the words of President
Hoover. ringing today in the ears Of
the delegates to the white house con-
ference on child and health protec-
ton. as they settled to translating his
appeal for American childhood into
a national welfare program.
The president last night, in opening
the conference at Constitution hall,
asked for safeguards and services to
childhood beyond the reach Of the in
dividual parent. which can be provided
only by the community, the state, OF

haps the widest range of difficulties
with which we are dealing in the bet
terment Of children grows out of their
crowding into cities.
Problems Of sanitation and public
health loom in every direction. De-
%linquency increases with congestion.
Overcrowding produces disease and
contagion. The child's natural play
place Is taken from him. His mind is
stunted by the lack of imaginative
surroundings and lack of contact with
the fields, streams, trees, and birds.
Home life becomes more difficult.
Cherries homes produce morbid
minds. Our growth of town life un-
endingly imposes such problems as
milk and food supplies, for we have
shifted these children from a diet of
ten thousand years standing.
Nor is the problem one solely OF
the city child. We have grave respon-
sibilities to the rural child. Adequate
expert service should be as available
to him from maternity to maturity"

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Ruralites and urbanites have long
suspected that they didn't think alike.
But no one knew just why until the
farmers began to go to the city. All
this has come in the last 20 years with
automobiles. One might never suspect
1t, but the automobile has blazed the
way to a lot of knowledge about group
psychology.
In what respects does the rural mind
differ from the urban mind?
In the first place the ruralite Is an
individual. The urbanite Is a member
of a group While the city man says
I'VE do this" the ruralite says II do
this" There is no real public opinion
in the country. So farmers can't CO.
operate. That may be the season why
they are now crying for relief"
thinks In terms of magic. He knows
all about the weather signs, what 1t
means to plant crops by the moon, why
the squirrels some years have an es-
pecially heavy coat Of fur. Close to
nature, he thinks the language Of ma
ture, which in the long run Is mystery.
In the third place, the ruralite Is
noted for his suggestibility. That's why
revivals, camp meetings and excite
mentS over epidemics have always nad
a good chance to flourish in the country.
Being suggestible, the ruralite has
often fallen prey to all sorts Of
smooth talking swindlers. Some of
these lessons, however, were taken to
heart and passed on from generation
to generation, creating another trait
known as rural suspiciousness.
SuspiciousnesS in turn has tended to
drive the rural mind back to its shib-
boleths, its formulas, its flaws Of ma
ture," its belief in magic.

ally make the former meaningless and
America nothing more than an empty
she'll"
Or still more simply, for every rural
community, town, city and State to
look about and see what commodities
they may manufacture within their
own boundaries, always ON the small
est practical scale. to the end that
ownership might be as widespread as
possible.
The Texan first advanced his theory
three years ago in Fourth of July
speech in the Senate. He introduced
a resolution to that end.
As result, the Department Of Com
merce instituted study to determine
whether such a proposition was prac-
tical. Senator Sheppard was told that
the Government had vast amount of
information along this line that 1t could
pass out-that it had done so.
The idea has worked successfully In
some places. In New York and Brook
lyn, for example, the manufacture of
clinical thermometers Is still largely a
home industry. The thing to do first
Of all, Sheppard was told, Is to have
