The Real Moron is q Menace to
Society
The term Moron" has come
into general use to denote any
man or woman who does not
seem to be as mentally alert as
he should be. In such a sense,
of course, it is employed as a
term of disparagement, if not Of
deliberate insult.
Moron, however, was first
coined as scientific word to
designate the highest members
of the mentally defective. A
moron is an individual who is
almost normal. On mental tests
he may measure as little as one
year below the normal stand
ard for his age or he may fall
two or even three years below
that level.
Our prisons, reformatories,
almshouses and asylums num-
ber thousands Of inmates who
are morons. Their mainte-
nance runs into millions each
year.
Actually these individuals are
mentally irresponsible. They
cannot distinguish between
right and wrong or, If they
can, they understand the i'm
port of such a distinction but
slightly.

negro MOVEMENT
FROM COUNTRY
STILL UNDATED

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(spe-
cial to Northwest Enterprise
Powerful forces are modifying
the distribution of Americas Ne
gro population Important MI
grations have been taking place
ever since the Negro was eman-
cipated. Immediately after the
Civil War there was marked
trek westward Since the Begin
nIng of the present century and
especially since 1910, the migra-
ton of Negroes has assumed
very large proportions. This mi
grafton is usually thought of as
movement from South to North
/; is supposed that Negroes from
southern farms are flocking
northward into our great indus
trial centers. In sense this
view is correct. Because OF tile
stoppage of immigration and the
iDsistent war demands for labor
on the part OF northern indus
tries, ii happened that during
the decade 1910 to 1920 the Ne
gro population in cities OF our
northern and western states in
creased from $50, 900 TO 1.3O9,-
600, or nearly 100000. Since
the total increase during this de-
cade in the Negro population in
cities was less than 100000, it
follows that considerably more
than half the Negroes who NOV
ed to cities entered northern cit
les. However, II is important to
remember that during this same
ten-year period the Negro popu-
lation of southern cities also in
creased by approximately 40O,-
600. In many respects, therefore,
1t is more accurate to think of
the present Negro migration as
4 movement not primarily from
South to North but rather from
country to city. In 1890 fewer
than 100000 Negroes lived In
cities and as late as 1900 the
number was only 2,OOO,OO0 BY
1920 this group has grown to
100000, while 1880 official
estimates indicate the total a.
round 100000. This means
that during the last years the
Negro population in cities actu-
