INTELLIGENCE

Criminal law is based partly upon
the theory that all citizens have in
telligence enough to know the diff
ference between right and wrong.
IN comparatively recent years the
advances Of intelligence testing have
revealed that there are ii reality
wide differences in the mental make
up Of peoHe and many persons be-
lieve that persons below a certain
level Of intelligence should be seq
regated and given special medical
education and social care than pun
ishment. In this respect care must
be taken to distinguish the fact that
intelligence has been found to be
closely associated with other influ-
ences, but not the cause Of a spe-
cific type of crime.

DOROTHY MAYNOR APPEARS
IN CONCERT AT TUSKEGEE

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
Dorothy Maynor, sensational young
Negro saprano, made her initial ap-
pearance at Tuskegee Institute Sat
urday night before delightful au-
dience that filed Logan Hall long
before the hour Of the concert.
From the moment she appeared on
the stage, this young singer capti-
waited the audience with her charm
ing personal ity and held her listen
ers spellbound with the magic Of her
rich and lovely voice of remarkable
range and sweetness.
Dor9thy Maynor proved herself
to be a real artist and gracious
one. Her program included mum
bers from Handel, Brahms, Franz,
German lieder as wdl as Negro
Spirituals. The enthusiastic music
lovers assembled to pay tribute to
this young genius demanded encore
after encore, one of which was an
arrangement by William L. Dawson,
Director Of the Tuskegee Institute
School Of Music and nationally
I'm swn in musical cir,'es. With the
exception of Marian Anderson and
Roland Hayes, no artist has received
such an ovation as was accorded Miss
Maynor. who until few months.
ago was unknown in the musical
world.
Robert Wallenb orn, Of Chicago
ably supported the artist ut the
piano.
Immediately following the recital,

YOUR BOY
BY THOMAS H WRIGHT
Boys' Work Secretary
Some Causes of
Delinquency
EDUCATION

1t is sometimes asserted that edu-
cation today is producing educated
criminals" The study Of the ante
cedents of about $4,000 prisoners
committed to prisons during the
first six months of 1923 showed a
smaller proportion had gone beyond
the elementary school than in the
general population, thus affording
no support Of the sensational state
ments frequently made in recent
years, to the effect that education
tends to promote crime. Gluck,
Gluok and Glouck in thier study Of
500 criminal careers, report that 80
per cent of the persons studied had
not gone beyond the 9Th grade, that
considerable number of the group
studied were educationally retarded
one Or more years (more than among
the comparable general population)
and that in the matter Of age with
drawa from school, as well as IN
the educational achievement and in
school retardation, the reformatory
group studied by them did not com
pare favorable with the general
population. Truancy from school is
now recognized by investigators as
one of the first overt acts of Juvenile
delinquency. Frequently prob
lem chs,d' is retarded, his status
produces dissatisfaction then impu-
dence, punishment, and finally rebel
lion in the form Of truancy. During
truancy (playing hooky) various
contacts are made, habits, and atti-
tudes are formed which lead him to
violate the law. Delinquency then is
oMy an extreme form of the prob
lens faced daily by every teacher
in the class room. In Montgomery
County, using the divorce as an in
dex of family breakdown, 81 pei
cent Of the divorced persons in
Montgomery County had not attend
ed high school or college, whereas
So per cent Of the general popula-
tion had not gone beyond the stF
grade.
CHRONOLOGICAL ACE
Tabulations Of offenses by age
show that certain crimes have apped
at given age or else chat the vio
lation is adapted to persons Of /
given age and amount Of physica
energy. There is no evidence ts
support the theory that the age q
the delinquent actually stimulates
tho individual to violate tha laW.

Community
Coordination
Continued from Page Three)
Need For Change in Communal
Life


This concept of Judaism as a
civilization calls for a better in
tegration of all the Jewish cultural
forces in a community than now
exists, s~I for a restatement and
revaluation of the place of each
in the scheme of the whole COM
munity. It also means that the
very structure Of the Synagogue
itself might have to undergo some
changes, and it's relation to other
institutions and cultural forces
differently adjusted.
The function of the Synagogue
is to teach the religious phase of
Jewish civilization. 1t is best
equipped to provide the intensive
aspect of learning. 1t is not so well
able to prOmuIgate the other
branches of civilization. The school
in a Congregation should be es-
sentially directed to teach religion,
and under existing conditions, with
the limited amount of time at it's
disposal, it has no time to teach
effectively Hebrew as a CONVEX
satiOnal language. Our COngrega-
tiOnal Schools are Religious
Schools. Some other means ought
to be found for teaching converse
tiOnal Hebrew. The Synagogue
should coordinate its efforts with
other institutions, such as the Y.
Mia, HadaSsah, Council of jew
ish Women, and cOgnate Organiza-
tiOns in aiding those forces of
Jewish civilization which deal with
the upbuilding of Palestine, the
organization of a community, the
participation in philanthropy.
The United States today is the
only place in the world where such
normal Jewish life is possible. The
philosophy of the state not only
admits of it, but even encourages
it. No matter how rapidly Pales-
tine develops, there will always be
a Jewish life in the diaspora. This
Jewish life today will either be in
the United States, or not at all.
We, American Jews, therefore owe
it to ourselves to exert our eff
forts to perpetuate this normal
Jewish life in this country.

Science and the Jew


: ana the doctors ask him nlIes-
ions but mostly they give their
own opinions. but Joseph Gold
berger shakes his head SLOWLY and
Tells them what he has discovered
-. that he has found out whv so
many thousands of people in the
Soutn are dying from the dread
olsease. and the doctors know
about this strange scientist from
the North and they are all pre-
pared to laugh.
But Joseph Goldberger tells
them anyway. tells them that
Chey are wrong. :. tells them what
ne has noticed wherever he has
gone tells them that the one
big difference between those who
get pellagra and those who don't
is poverty. that the people who
are dying are in every case poor!
Poor, gentlemen, poor"
And the doctors turn their
backs and Smirk. smirk lust as
others had been Sinking for
months.
But Joseph Goldberger has
faith. faith in his idea. poor
people of the South can't afford
milk or meat. :. corn, grits, meal,
rice, potatoes. these are what
the poor could buy. these are
w h t they were eating. not
milk, not meat. the rich could
afford them and the rich ate them
and the rich never got pellagra.
One day he is summoned sud-
denly to an Orphanage in Mississip-
pi pellagra has struck there
with a crushing intensity. . he
is used to the misery of the pella-
gra sufferers, but his heart is
chilled by the feverish and help
less faces of the young children
-. that moment he makes I'D his
mind. he will put his idea to the
test.
From Washington he gets mon
ey for milk and meat. and all
that winter every child in the in
stitution is given 2 cups of milk
a day. meat four times a week
-. an egg every day. beans and
peas.
And while peIlagra races
through the South leaving behind
it human wrecks and gibbering
maniacs. :. the Orphanage in Mis-
sissippi is safe and untouched. :.
and the children rOmp and play
and laugh. and Joseph Gold
berger smiles quietly and happily
to himself. is this not the proof
he needed? is this not the sOlu-
ton to the mystery?
Soon. the doctors stop their
laughing. this tall, lanky Jew
from the East Side of New York
City had crushed the monster.
Then one day a great and ia
nous doctor goes to see Joseph
GOldberger in his laboratory, to
see this alien scientist, who al
most alone had whipped the dis
ease that was now being routed by
the Government. but Joseph
GOIdberger smiles his sad smile
and waves aside the praises of
this great and famous doctor. :.
and says. :.
me? I'm just a bum doctor.
That's ALL"
A few weeks later Joseph Gold
berger dies. too much before
his time. he had made America
a better place to live in. a
healthier place for her children
and her chiIdren'S children.

REFERENDUM AZ
VITAL TO SCHOOLS
is DESIGNED TO REPLACE REV.
ENUE BILL EXPIRING NEXT
JUNE
Advocates Stress That Measure and
Initiative a Are Giving Only Total
Increase of aiths Mill, Essential to
Operation.

Whether the state will continue
to provide higher education for
Montana young men and women
is to be decided at the polls on
Nov. when the voting taxpayers
of the state are asked to support
Referendum No. AZ, the first of
the measures on the ballot and
the one which is essential to high
er education. Unless this measure
passes. all state support for higher
education will cease, those support
ing the measure state.
Referendum AZ authorizes the Mon
tana legislature to levy a tax not to
exceed 81 mills for the continued main
tenance of the six units of the Greater
University.
AS the law reads, some voters have
interpreted this to mean that the pres
ent levy is to be increased by 81 mills
But the present levy of 5 mills, voted
by the taxpayers in 1880 to run for
only 10 years, expires by limitation on
June 30. 1941, when the proposed meas
ure, Referendum AZ. would go into eff
tax. authorized by Referendum AZ, is
only mill-not 81 mills. Friends of
higher education are anxious that the
voters shall understand the situation,
which is somewhat confusing but has
been authoritatively explained from
the state headquarters of the Uni
versity Funds campaign.
All Units Need Aid
All the six units of the Greater Uni
versity of Montana are largely de-
pendent upon the passage of Referen-
dunn AZ for their current expenses, in
GLIDING salaries of teachers. These six
units are, Montana State university,
Montana State college, Montan a
School of Mines, Montana State Nor
NAL college, Eastern Montana School,
and Northern Montana College. If
Referendum AZ, providing for the con-
tinuance and slight increase of the
millage tax should fail, all six of these
institutions would be wrecked.
In addition to Referendum AZ, the
last measure on the ballot will be
Initiative A to provide for a bond is
supported by .a-mill tax levy,
to furnish necessary buildings at the
Montana State College at Bozeman.
These buildings are greatly needed to
care for the increased attendance and
expanding work at the Bozeman insti-
tuition.
The maximum increase which would
be authorized by Referendum AZ would
be mills, and the total tax levied by
Initiative A is mill. The total cost
of the two educational measures, there
fore, will be u of mill. For a tax
payer who has real estate assessed at
$1,000 and personal property. includ-
ing his personal car, household goods.
and farm machinery, at $500, the total
increase in tax caused by these two
measures would be 75c year.
