Mentally Unfit Being w i ■ ■ . .■ Listed by Juvenile Bureau

Attempt Will Be Made to Better Conditions of Thousands Who Are Afflicted

SACRED POOL POLLUTED

The Ohio bureau of juvenile research is making a careful survey throughout the state in order to determine, as nearly as possible, the number of persons who are mentally unfit. With these lists compiled, then a concerted attempt will be made to improve the condition of these unfortunates as soon as possible. It has been stated by Dr. Andre Crotti that there are 15,000 feebleminded persons in the state of Ohio, and of this number more than 2000 are properly cared for in the state institution. Many other persons^ so afflicted are in unsuitable institutions such as the nsane hospitals, industrial schools, infirmaries and children’s homes. With 15.000, the rate is 3 to every 1000 of population. That this is a conservative estimate is shown by the fact that in a careful survey of a rural county of the state, there were found to be 10.G feeble-minded persons to every 1000. If that ratio held throughout the state we should have more than 50,000 feeble-minded persons. Many Under Ban It is now recognized that a large proportion of all of our anti-social groups, the drunkards, the criminals, the prostitutes, the hoodlums aifd the ne’er-do-wells and the incompetents, are feeble-minded. There are two phases to the work of the bureau of juvenile research, one being the compulsory side, which says that every minor who, in the opinion of the juvenile court, requires the service of a state institution. shall be committed to the state department of welfare. Then they shall be turned over to the bureau of juvenile research. May Be Trained It is now well established that when these cases are discovered, and their actual condition known, it is possible to train and care for them, so that they shall not become the anti-society persons that we have had to deal with in the past. The cost of crime to the state of Ohio in 1906 was $4,698,077. In 1914 it had increased to $8,412,598, an increase of 79 per cent, while the population had increased only 11 per cent. If, as some believe, 50 per cent Ol crime is due to the feeble-minded, there would be a cost of more than $4,000,000 in 1915 that could have been saved had these afflicted persons been properly cared for. Offense °f Criminals This estimate takes no account of the inestimable damage these criminals did. If we add to this the cost of maintaining our county infirmaries, a large proportion of whose inmates are feeble-minded, and in a similar manner take up the other classes enumerated, it becomes evident that an institution which even ■partially relieves the situation, is worthy of all support, no matter what it costs. A profoundly important consideration in connection with this problem of the mental defective is the fact that mental deficiency is hereditary. At least two-thirds of all mental defectives .sre the children of defective parents, of defective families. The problem is further complicated by the fact that the manner of transmission of the defect is such that it is impossible entirely to eradicate it, at. least not for many generations. That is why it is so important for the state to take care of its feebleminded. and always keep them m the institution provided for them.

New Haven, Conn., Dec. 21—Some >f the forty questions to which Yale students have to answer “yes” or ‘no” to determine their mental alertiess were revealed by students. An snswer must be given within fifteen icconds after a question is asked. If i student says “I don’t know” to all juestions he would rank a “zero,” jut a “guess” to a question showing io mental effort to answer it would nean a minus mark on that answer. Biological students quote, among ithers, these questions: “Is water iccessary as a solvent for nutri:ion ?” “Is it possible to have a^balmced aquarium without light?”' In psychology the students were Asked, for instance: “Is psychology he science of prediction and control >f behavior?” “Is a synapta a conicction between neurones?” The civil engineers were asked to pronounce “true” or “false” statenents like these: “People who live ilong a highway should be taxed for ts upkeep.” “The pay-as-you-go nethod is cheaper for the taxpayer n the end, thank the sinking fund nethods.” “Brick is the best paveuent in the long run.” “The peneration test determines how far asphalt will sink into a stone foundation.” , . <<T /.

A. E. McKee Tells How Penny Seal Sale Is Getting Results In Ohio. Prevention of Illness Among School Children to Be Emphasized In the Future. By A. E. McKEE, Chairman Educational Committee, Ohio Christmas Seal Sale. If OW certainly the fight for health and against tuberculosis is going forward to victory is told in the official- reports of the bureau of vital statistics of Ohio. The death rate from tuberculosis has been cut from 150 for each 100,000 population in 1910 to the unA. E. McKee. precedented low figure of 89 per 100,000 in 1921. Had the high rate of 1910 prevailed there would have been 8,70-0 deaths from the white plague last year instead of 5,277. If there is any one thing more than another that has brought about this marked decline in the tuberculosis death rate it is the campaign of education that is carried on from year to year to teach people that the' disease is curable—that it is preventable. Formerly it was believed that consumption was incurable and little effort was put forth to prevent it. The National Tuberculosis Association some 15 years ago put out a Christmas Seal, to be sold at a penny apiece, to interest the public in a great nation-wide effort to stamp out tuberculosis. This little penny seal stands today as the champion of health and the enemy of the ‘‘Great White Plague.” It has been the means of interesting more people in the cause of tuberculosis prevention and good health than any other one thing. Financial returns from the annual seal sales have not been large, but the results have been tremendous and far-reaching, exceeding the fondest hopes of those who conceived this splendid means of financing the warfare against tuberculosis. Sanatoriums have been built, nursing service established, laws enacted requiring the reporting of tuberculosis and the care of the consumptives, as a result of the education work which was fostered by the seal sale. Now we are beginning to attack the problem in a much broader way. We are beginning to realize that if fresh air and wholesome food will make the SICK CHILD WELL, the same remedy will keep WELL CHILDREN WELL. Instead of sending the consumptives off to the mountains to die of homesickness, we are treating them at home. We are taking care of the undernourished children and building their resistance to disease, in order to keep them in health. It ought to be a crime to allow 5,000 of the most productive and necessary people of Ohio to die each year from tuberculosis. Sixty-seven per cent of all tubefculosis occurs in those between 15 and 44 years of age. There is still a crying need for more local sanatoriums for the care and treatment of the infected; there is need for more nurses to visit the homes and instruct the patients and those with whom the patient comes in contact. Preventive work among children by teaching them proper health habits and developing their bodies as well as their minds, should be pushed in every county in the state. The message of the 1922 Christmas Seal is to carry on the fight for health. Every seal you buy and every seal you use on your Christmas mail helps. Buy Christmas Seals and become a member of the victorious Crusade!

Interior of Co-operative Peach Shipping Plant, Gypsum, Ohio.

Fruit growers of Ohio, joined together in a state-wide organization, marketed apples and peaches cooperatively on an extensive scale this year. The organization, the Ohio Fruit Growers’ Co-operative association, adopted the “Buckeye” brand as their sales standard. Both apples and peaches went to market under this brand. In the Catawba island district of northern Ohio a local marketing unit sent out more than 20,000 bushels of peaches. Shipments were made as far south as Alabama, and entered the markets of a large number of

eastern cities. The fruit was packed and graded and the co-operative organizations stand back of their standards of quality. They are also receiving federal certification. At the same time that peaches were moving from the northern district of the state, apples were being shipped by two or three locals in southern Ohio. Two large mechanical graders were used in this section, and the apples sold according to quality, with the producer getting the full returns minus the expenses of handling. They were handled in the same manner as the peaches and under the same brand name.

START PORK EATING SCHEME IN MISSOURI

Farm Bureau in Livingston County Inaugurates Plan to Encourage Consumption. An Interesting anti effective method of increasing; the consumption of meat locally is outlined by D. R. Forrester, county agent in Livingston county, Missouri. “Livingston county tried out something last year which I believe should be commended to every county in the United States, The farm bureau, through the live stock shippers’ association, established a retail meat market to deliver large pieces, such as hams, sides and shoulders of pork to consumers at a low price. The farm bureau loaned a revolving fund of $200. They hired a farmer living north of town to kill hogs for $1 each, and make the delivery at the same price. If no hogs were killed and delivered there was no overhead expense. Seven cents per hundredweight was paid to the manager of the Chillicotbe Shipping association io locate and keep these hogs supplied to tlie butcher. This pork was furnished to the consumers at from onehalf to two-thirds of the price it was being sold at local butcher shops in the same-sized pieces. However, after this market was established the local butchers came down to the same price. An advertisement giving the price of meats and phone number was put in three local papers and run for the four winter months. Killing and delivering was three times per week, and very little expense was incurred in the marketing. “The Farm Bureau Live Stock Shipping association meat market handled 25,000 pounds of dressed pork. This did not reduce the sales of the local butcher shops. In fact, the butcher shops’ records show that they sold more meats during December and January than they had during those months in any previous year. The point here is that the main way to stimulate the consumption of an article is to reduce tlie cost to the consumers. The farmers were paid from 40 to CO cents per hundredweight more for delivering (heir hogs to tiie association than they would receive by shipping out on the market. “It was net our intention to make money in our operations here. On the oilier hand there was practically tao chance for loss. One of the local butchers was quite panicky when we

started this market, and made the threat that he would break the concern. We sent him word it was broke to start with, and there*was no chance for loss in the operation. After the first montfi of operation the local butcher got it out of his head that his business was going to be hurt, and some of the more fair-minded men could see that the fact that meat was being advertised all the time really increased their sales. We asked the county agents of two adjoining counties which had towns about the size of Chillicotbe, to make an investigation to ascertain whether their butchers sold more meat than in previous years. From all information obtainable both the county agents reported less sales in the winter of 1921 and 1922 than in previous years. Our butchers increased their sales.

GROWING BEST ALFALFA SEED South Dakota Exchange at Rapid City Making Firms for Another Succecsful Year, The Western Mouth Dakota Alfalfa Seed Growers’ exchange at Rapid City is making plans for another successful year. Last year, the first in its experience, was remarkably successful, considering the fact that there was an oversupply of seed. The farmers exchange handled more than GOO,000 bushels of extra quality seed, selling it in all parts of the country. The western growers have a hunch that seed will bring a better price on an earlier market than last year. They plan to conduct a more extensive advertising campaign to tell the world that South Dakota produces the best seed.

Combining of West Virginia Farm Bureau Members and Burley Growers Is important. The uniting of the tobacco growing members of West Virginia farm bureau with tlie Burley Tobacco Growers’ association is considered the most important marketing project ever carried out in the mountain state. Alrqady several of the important tobacco growing counties have turned in large numbers of members, with strong prospects that more than 75 per cent of the 8,000,000 pounds of tobacco produced yearly in West Virginia will be handled through the association of tobacco growers. The as sociation and the state farm bureau federation have worked together soliciting members in the various Counties.
