 As horrible as this eas9 is, inas- much as 1t cost tho lives of two people. yet our present social order Is as much to blame for tho results in this case as Is Crow.
 We are as far behind today in many forms of accepted knowledge as were our so.cailed forefathers when they dwolt in the caves.
 As humans. we only accept that knowledge which Is pleasing to ourselves. When 1t comes to a form of God-given knowledge that would prevent Just such things as this happening, we refuse to acc eept such knowledge because in our own livos there are many things that we foolishly think that because we do not brondcast 1t. that 1t Is forever Q secret, known only to ourselves.
 This all comes because we do not accept true "psychology". We are accepting a form of psychology" that wo call true, but as long as we listen to such men as "rhe Voice of Experience" and others of this type. men who do not ac- eept the opinion and studies Of other men, and who arc too narrow minded to make q study of the other fellows point of view to And out If pcrchance the other fellow has discovered something that they do not know.
 This form of intolerance has held back the progress of tho world we live in at least two centuries. T predict that the day will come when all humanity will progress to the point when my science will be- come an accepted and practiced one. 1 further predict that when such time comes the entire world shall be q better place In which to 1.-Two and that humanity will be closer to the millennium than we shall ever be until we accept these phases of knowledge.
 Years ago, according to the rec ords, when the form of using a bathtub for bathing was used the medical men condemned It as un- healthy and injurious to both health and person. In some sec- tions laws were passed making 1t offensive, yet today who would name a person who does not bathe regularly.
 programs. We not only bathe reg ularly but are advised to see a phy- sician at least once year, for physical checkup; and to see den- tist at least twice a year, for den- tai checkup. This is fine insofar as it goes for physical and dental checkup. but it does not amount to a nickel as far as a mental check up. the most important of all. is concerned.
 Why should society be afraid to go a step further and make it com pulsory that each person be exam ined by a physiologist at least once a year?
 My contention is that were It possible for man to make an anal ysis of Crow prior to the time of his crime. it could have been pre- vented. Society would have known in advance that Crow at that par ticular time would be in very dangerous mental state and society could have segregated Crow and given him the medical attention that he needed.
 We have a machinery of law and order enforcement that costs the taxpayer millions and millions of dollars annually yet We grumble at spending few dollars to get at the root of what makes necessary the vast legal machine.
 Let us hope that the day will soon come when we put aside our foolish fear of mental and char actcr analysis at regular intervsis for the sake of preventing crimes like this one.
