Points to System Failure

manageable" the letter added.
"the committee has recon-
mended the use of special
schools"
The Missouri legislator said
that in his opinion merely turn

probably only make them worse

He agreed that such problem
children should not be kept in
regular classes to disrupt the
education of other children,
however.
The School Board. the legisla-
tor said, should develop a re-
ferral system. requiring expert
treatment facilities for children
found unfit to stay in school.
This should be done. he added,
before any law is sought provid-
ing for expulsion.
The Hennirigs letter expressed
regret that Washington has no
appropriate special schools now.

The Missouri Senator opposed
Ia current move to empower the
District Board of Education to
expel unmanageable pupils. He
asserted that a positive program
Iof schooling and expert treat
ment should be provided before
any expulsion step is taken.
Senator Hennings recently
took over leadership of the Sem
ate delinquency unit from Sena-
tor Kefauver Democrat of Ten
nessee. The Missourian, an aide
said, has had a personal interest
in delinquency problems for a
long time.
The Board of Education cur
rently has under study a pro-
posal to seek a change in the
present District compulsory at
tendance law in order to allow
expulsion Of so-called "incorri-
gibles" before the age Of Is.
Program Of Help Urged
Several school board members.
Ire Senators Hennings. have
urged a more far-reaching pro-
gram for helping such young
sters. however. DR.. Corning, at
the boards instructions, a few
days ago summoned a group of
community leaders to discuss this
subject.
Senator Hennings, in his let
ter to DR.. Corning, advocated
the setting up Of special schools
for problem youngsters, a pro-
posal also under study by school
officials.

however. was not cause enough
for deferment. Nobody suspected
the actual trouble.

Father Given Tests
A test of Mr.. Caldwell's blood
pressure was made at the upper
arm. 1t was too high. as was
Scottie's. A test was made on the
leg. The pressure was too low
as was Scottie's. X-rays were
taken and the fathers left heart
ventrical was too large. as was
Scottie's.
The cardiologist declared he
had heard Of a case once where
the same situation occurred in
an immediate family but he had
never seen such a situation.
Doctors believe there IS no
hereditary relationship between
Scottie's condition and his ia
theirs, although they are prac-
tically identical. Both are be-

But a peculiar situation exists
today In connection with the
problem of incorrigibles. While
the school system is drafting an
amendment to the compulsory
school attendance law one
which will give them the legal
right to expel this type Of Of
fender-there is fear in some
circles there will be wholesale
eXpulSions.
1t is a fear which did not exist
until the Board of Education
tried to make expulsions legal

inc on for a long time.

School officials realize that
these individuals could possibly
be helped by psychiatric care
or long-term individual atten-
ton. But at the same time. the
officials add that other children
in the school must be protected
and offered an opportunity to
learn in a classroom lacking an
incorrigible who is liable to
throw pen. pencil or chair at
the teacher.
Public Hearing Suggested
A public hearing has been
suggested to air the problem of
the incorrigible. to examine the
chances of a school system
armed with a new expulsion law.
to see how to deal with the ex-
PEELED child and how to keep
him OF the street.
Whether school officials can
bring themselves to tell of the
exploits of incorrigibles in public
is questionable. They are even
hesitant to use the language Of
the incorrigible in private.
So 1t has always been difficult
to get an accurate description Of
the incorrigible over to citizens
groups. This is perhaps one rea-
son why a misunderstanding ex-
lists over just who teachers and
principals want to get rid Of.
But to those who know the
incorrigible. there is only one
answer: Get him out Of the
school so we can get on with the
business Of teaching"
