SOME AT GIRLS SCHOOL
NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION

The seven-year annual average of
/ girls shows IL as being suitable for
care in an interstate institution. Five
would be special problem delinquents,
five mentally defective and two ment-
ally i'll.
The problem of these defective de-
linquents is a serious one. Montana
is not equipped to give them the ade-
quate treatment or security care,
since they are not present in large
enough numbers. Nevertheless, they
must be dealt with. They cannot be
sent to our State Training School at
Boulder, since they are not fit sub
Jects for care there.
DIR. Arthur Westwell superintend-
ent of tn school and a past president
of the American Association on Ment-
al Deficiency, has long been inter-
ested in this field. In fact, he headed
a committee to look into the posi-
bility of such an interstate institu-
ton in the Northwest in 1850. This
was suggested by the Council of State
Governments. However, the lack of
legal machinery stalled things at that
time.
Another problem child is the psy-
chotic DR.. Robert J. Spratt, super
intendent of the Montana State Hos
pital at Warm Springs, tells me that
we now have five such children in
our State Hospital. There have never
been less than two in the past five
years. However, others are treated
as out-patients in the Mental Hygiene
Clinic.
Montana has no particular institu-
ton to provide the necessary modern
treatment. Here, again, is the same
problem of a small number needing
specialized treatment not now avail
able. The recommendation again, is
an interstate institution.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Some people figure unemployment
will aid and abet RTW campaign,
but it seems to me the unemployed
must see that the unions are not
keeping them from working, and even
if the union was outlawed under RTW
they wouldn't be one iota better off.
Maybe petition should be circu-
lated that says every man who wants
to work should be guaranteed job,
at standard of living equal to his
ability. Now there would be a right
to work program 1 could go for.
Instead of this malarkey about
right-to-work without joining union,
so a fella can bargain with mammoth
industry all by himself.
Hard telling how many will go for
the RTW line, however. Many swal-
lowed hook, line and sinker the line
they were fed in 1852 that told them
they were big, strong, rugged, tough,
virile, and Independent individuals

ing or security" guaranteed by gov
eminent. For Security you went

Many of the promoters of that
are now RTW promoters.
And look where we are?
