BUREAU IS ASKED
FOR HANDICAPPED

WoefuIly Lacking.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.

bureau for handicapped children-the
lame, the deaf, the blind, the mentally
and nervously defective, the under
nourished-was asked today in the re-
port on that phase of the child health
problem prepared for the coming White

gued, parents and teachers could read
lily secure information concerning the
treatment and training Of all types OF
handicapped.
The committee on these special class
es, of which Dr. Charles S. Berry, of
Columbia University, is chairman, also
urged a nationwide publicity cam
paign.
Not single city in the United States
the committee set forth, is now pro-
yiding special education for all its
handicapped children who need it, and
in small towns and rural districts any
form of such education was said to be
woefully lacking
Teachers for blind, deaf and Grip
pied children were said to be made
quately trained, and state laws dealing
with special education of the handicap
ped were pronounced "fearfully and
wonderfully made,i lacking in uniform
ity, and not fair in distribution OF
State aid among the different types OF
disabilities.
More than 100000 children in ele-
mentary schools of the United States
need special treatment and training be-
cause OF marked disabilities, the COM
mittee estimated. An added 5000, 000
were said to be suffering from mall
