The First rs Years

Growing up isn't easy. The first

have to spend the next Is years Of
life convalescing from it, and re-
pairing with medicine and sur

the damages done to the psychic

Madison, Wis. - Perhaps
nowhere but in America
could this happen.


could this happen.
Miniature governments
autocratic, democratic and
anarchistic-have been built,
using school children as the
citizens, to find out expert
mentally just what effect
government has on the indi-
vidual.
An autocratic, dictatorial govern
ment breeds hostility, it is clearly
shown by this experiment, reported
to the Midwestern Psychological as
ISOLATION by DR.. Kurt Levin, of the
Iowa child welfare research station
of the University of Iowa. The
amount of hostility expressed by
members of the autocratic group is
80 times as high as that among
the citizens of the democracy.
Citizens in an autocracy cannot
work together. Even when CO.
operative work groups were set up
by the dictator" they soon would
break down. In the democracy, CO.
operation developed spontaneously.
More individual desire to doni-
nate is evident in the autocracy,
more feeling of "I-ness," more per-
sonal feeling.
Constructiveness is higher in the
democracy; in the autocracy it falls
down quickly when the dictator"
is not present.
They Find Scapegoat.
In the autocracy, the hostility of
the group is likely to center on
scapegoat who is treated so badly
by the whole group ganged together
that he finally becomes refugee"
from the group. After his depar-
ture, another member becomes the
scapegoat.
Contrary to what might be
guessed, an anarchy was found to
be nearer to the autocracy than to
the democracy in effect on the citi-
zens. The resemblance was par
ticularly great in regard to the hos
tility between members.
"In autocracy the tension seems
to be due to lack of freedom" DR..
Levin interpreted. Elm 1aissez
faire, tension seems to be due to
the anarchic structure of the situa-
ton which prevents long range plan
ming and lacks 1neaningful time per-
spective both for the group and the
Individual"

IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

There was a meeting of the old
Haymaker rifle team. William T.
Steyer, George D. Browning, John F
Browning, R. S. Jamison, and James
Painter were present. Owing to i'll
ness P. A. Chisholm was unable to
attend. The purpose was to re-
organize. Target practice was held
over the Washington Spring range at
200 yards and they scored from SO to
43 out of a possible so.
Fred A. Thayer, Austin Brown,
Sheriff Lee and E. H. Sincell returned
from a few days fishing up in the
Canaan country. The total catch
amounted to 584 trout. Says the item,
"The party did not make as large a
catch as States Attorney Thayer said
they would prior to the start"
Geary R. Sinnisen, of Hagerstown,
arrived in Oakland to operate bak-
cry here during the summer. He
planned to run a wagon over town
every morning to deliver bread to his
customers, both wholesale and retail.
The outlook for creamery at Acct
dent was not encouraging. Some
farmers were refusing to take stock
in the business for fear of losing the
sum of twenty-five dollars.
An item in the Park items: 1.-TWO
weeks more and the electric lights will
be turned on; and all trains will stop
at our station"
Daniel Smith at the Park shot a
loon on the lake which measured SO
inches between wing tips.
Citizens of Oakland met to protest
against the town council annuling a
section of the charter imposing a tax
upon saloons.
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Seed oats were selling at S120 per
bushel.
Robert C. Townshend and Miss
Gracia Lee Stemple, both of Oakland,
were married by Rev. w. M. Shultz.
The couple were to reside in Grant
Town, w. Va.
The second annual school track
meet was held at Accident. There
were nearly 200 contestants. Oakland
won with Kitzmiller second.
Airplane mail service was insti-
tuted over a regular route between
New York and Washington on May
Is.
A coal famine greater than the pre-
vious winter, was predicted by the
National Coal Association, caused by
Car shortage and shortage of labor.
Messrs. Offutt, the rc"rchants, put
into commission a Ford truck to be
used for delivery purposes.
The pages were full of news of boys
who were enlisting, who had been Sc
lected in the draft, and of those who
were already over in France. Word
had been received that Walter Wolfe
had been wounded in a battle in
France.

$4,000 YOUNGSTERS WE'RE
GIVEN CHECK-UP IN 1887
Health Examinations At Confer
ences Throughout The State

Over $4,000 youngsters were giver
a complete health check-up, and then
mothers. or others in charge, were adj
vised as to necessary follow-up care
at the health conferences held turnout
the counties in 1887, under the joint
auspices of the Bureau of Child Hy-
giene of the State Department of
Health and the County Departments
of Health.
According to a report issued by DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, the children rang
ed in age from babies only few
weeks old to their older brothers and
sisters nearing school age. OF the to-
tai, 10,670 were white and $3.50 col
ored; nearly $500 were under year
old; over 1000 were from 1 to 4
years old, and 6,728 were between 5
and 7. The older children were exam
ined in preparation for their admis-
sion to school.
The purpose of these conferences,
DR.. Riley explained, is to help mothers
to keep young children we'll; to detect
conditions that might hinder normal
growth or development if allowed to
run on. No medical treatments were
given. Children in need of medical at
tention were referred to their family
physicians.
Over 1000 conferences took place
during the year, including those "on
wheels" held in connection with the
summer tour of the health trailer of
the Bureau of Child Hygiene. Com
munlty centers or cross roads settle
ments in SAB places, covering every
section of the State, served as the
meeting places for large or small
groups of mothers and children with
the doctors and nurses. Nearly $4,000
follow-up visits to the homes were
made by the nurses associated with
the county departments of health in
connection with the conferences.
Over one-fourth of the total number
OF children Xamined-4, 303-were
free from conditions in need of correc-
ton. Fifteen per cent of the remain
der-oVer 1,900-were underweight or
showed other evidence of malnutri-
ton; over 4,700 needed dental atten-
ton. Nearly 800 had ricketts, in some
form and $50 had faulty pastures.
Nearly one-third had unfavorable con-
ditions of the nose or throat. En-
larged or infected tonsils were OBJ
served in 4,098; adenoids in 1852 and
SAG were listed as mouth breathers. )"
Defective vision was recorded for 1856;
impaired hearing for 1877; &C were
found to be mentally retarded.
Of the total number of children in
attendance over 1890 had not been
immunized against diphtheria, and
over $500 of the older group, nearing
school age, had not been vaccinated
against smallpox. Special efforts were
made to have these matters attended
to.
Provision is made in the schedule for
the current year for one or more chill
health conferences, monthly, in each
county. In cooperation with the county
superintendent of schools and the
Parent-Teacher Associations, arrange
ments are under way for the usual
series of special conferences during
the spring and summer months for the
examination of the youngsters who
will enter school in the fall.
