NEED OF RELIEF
AT POOR FARM
New Democratic County
Council Takes Steps to
Improve Conditions. F.

Need of relief from crowded con.
ditions at the Marion county poor
farm was stressed today by the. new
Democratic county council ...,....
Steps to block the abuse of in
Urinary admission privileges, said TO
be responsible for the growing over
population Of the institution, will be
inaugurated. ....
Members Of the. council spent
more than an hour at the poor farm
Wednesday visiting institutions
maintained by the county.
Constant Increase of Inmates
Frank S. Fishback, council presi-
dent. stated today that a system Of
checking applicants for admission
to the infirmary will be inaugTated.
and that charitable and government
agencies will be asked to help in
curbing the influx of inmates not
entitled to admission.
Fishback stated that the mems
quarters, part of which was ordered
wrecked by Alfred M. Hogston,
state. fire marshal, isn't what it
should be"
Considering the constant in
crease in the number of inmates,
however, the institutions manage
ment is doing everything in its
power to accommodate the poor, I"
Fishback said.
Need Outside Help
I'VE viii have to solicit the aid
Of the township trustee and char
liable organizations if We are to
provide for these poor. The Satur-
alton point has been reached and
the need for outside help is immi-
nent, he said.
Fishback indicated no steps will
be taken Immediately toward re-
locating or rehabilitating the in
stitution.
Conditions existing there can
not be remedied this winter, and
will have to be met in the wisest
manner" he stated.

More emphasis should be placed on
training the 22,680.0o0 girls under 10
years for marriage and motherhood,
declared the Committee on Youth Out
side the Home, headed by James e.
West, chief executive Of the Boy
Scouts.
The committee found that the church
remains probably the most potent fac
tor in the outside recreation activities
Of youth and by no means declining.
They report that 232. 154 churches Of
PA denominations now have A, $50 900
members over 10 years of age, that
there are churches for every 10 pub
lie schools and that there is strong evil
dence of a hunger for deeper spiritual
values springing up "in this material
istic pleasure-mad age"
In the realm of commercial amuse-
mentS, so largely patronized by the
young, the report says, lone seems to
find world which is law unto itself.
They are undoubtedly the product Of our
industrialized area. 1t might not be too
much to say that they are as influential

f1uence under business auspices is, in
the main. unwholesome. They affect
largely the children Of working -class
parents. those with fewest resources in

They promote gambling and almost
uniformly have q fringe of hangers ON
from the criminal class--prostitutes
gamblers, dope peddlers. They offer
little of value in the way Of imagina-
tive content and development of self
activity. The findings of the present
study indicate clearly that amusement
parks, carnivals and steamer excur-
sions are frequently the resort of adults
of the criminal class. Efforts have
been made to separate these amuSe-
ments from drinking and gambling,
but TO date this effort has been I'M
successful"

results in individuals who have been
deprived by accident OF self-identifica-
ton in society through not belonging
to the family and also in those individ-
uals who have become involved in a
conflict between irreconcilable demands
of family life and external social
forces"
The fundamental human values In
family life, the committee found
through two far-reaching studies Of the
effects of the home on children, are
the product of the interaction Of per-
sonalities within the family. 1t found
that many successful and fine individ-
uals come from homes whose cultural
level physical surroundings and social
status are low, and good children and
delinquents grow up in the same home
Thus, the committee concludes, the ad-
justment of the child to the family is

in the transmission OF culture, but In
those families which through urbani-

committees finding that there are

American children for only about 40, 900
of whom is special provision being

Special education for handicapped

Rebel at Routine.
They are brighter than their class
mates and often than their teachers.
They rebel against the routine estab-
lished for children closer to the average.
They learn their lessons quicker and
have more time to learn bad habits.
When they go to college many Of them
fail, not because Of lack of brains. but
because of these bad habits. Special
classes for them are advocated.
These neglected children are the salt
of the earth, the report points out.
From them has come the civilization of
the past and will come the civilization
Of the future. But despite this, society
neglects to make any special investment
in them.

Problem is Divided.

The Chief Executive told the confer
ence that the problem falls into three
groups-frst, the protection and stimu-
lation Of the normal child; second, aid
to the physically defective and handi-
capped child; third, the problems of the
delinquent child.
Asserting that of As 900 900 children,
10000, 900 are deficient, with more than
30 per cent of these not receiving the
necessary attention, the President said
I'VE must get to the cause of their handi-
caps from the beginnings Of their lives:
We must not leave one Of them uncared
for"
Mr. Hoover said that in dealing with
the complex problems of the delinquent
child that ut is not the delinquent
child that is at the bar of Judgment,
but society itself"

dent said. Perhaps the widest range
OF difhculties grows out Of their crowd

Mr.. Hoover said. I'm the vision of the
whole of our social fabric we have
loosened new ambitions, new energies;
we have produced a completely of life
for which there is no precedent. With
