VON HINDENBURG CALLS KAISER ‘NO DESERTER’ Letter of Prince Published on Eve of Birthday of Exiled Ruler. Bit United Press BERLIN, Jan. 25.—Celebration of the former kaiser’s seventieth birthday on Sunday was marked today by publication of a letter from President Paul Von Hindenburg, defending Wilhelm against the charge that he deserted the German people at the end of the World war. The letter is being offered for sale by a firm of Berlin auctioneers. It was written at Hanover on Aug. 16, 1920, when the former kaiser was being generally criticised. The letter said. "His majestey, the kaiser, did not desert. This calumny I indignantly repudiate. The kaiser left because his people had deserted him. “For him to die a hero’s death was impossible, because the armistice ended the war. If the kaiser had remained the result would have been civil war and the resumption of hostilities by the enemy. The unhappy regent wanted to spare the fatherland from both. It is easy to kick a dead lion.” Doom Adorns P,H United Press DOORN, Holland, Jan. 25.—D00m in the vicinity of the former kaiser’s residence assumed a festive air today as friends and relatives of Wilhelm gathered in great numbers to celebrate his seventieth birthday. Nearby hotels began to fill up with visitors and there was great activity around Doom house, which was decorated lavishly inside and out. The former kaiser, who appears in excellent health, was preparing to observe his birthday in a style reminiscent of his vanished days of glory at Potsdam. It will be a reunion of Hohenzollems, and the family history will be glorified, especially through Wilhelm’s book, "My Ancestors,” which he completed recently and will be presented to his friends, with a specially dedicated copy to Hermine, his wife.

CRIME BRED IN SCHOOLS, VIEW OF NAJURIST Backward Child Is Shamed Into Desperation, Says Justice Levy. Bn Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—“ The recruiting ground for the increasing army of American criminals is the

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

public school system, with its 2,000,000 children—one-ienth of the total enrollment—who are below the average mentality.” Justice Samuel D. Levy of the children’s court of New York City makes this assertion in an article written for the February issue of the North American Review. Subnormality quickly is turned into criminality; Justice Levy points out, by the conditions which the retarded child is compelled to face in the ordinary public school. If he is backward in his classes, he is chided by the other children with being a “dummy” and soon provoked into fights and a distinct anti-sqcial attitude. He not only will fight, but steal and play the truant to gratify his injured self-esteem, until within a few years his mental attitude Is that of the outlaw. The great percentage of these

2,000,000 who develop into criminals could be, for the most part, salvaged for useful citizenship, declares Justice Levy, by the simple expedient of putting them into ungraded schools where they will be under expert guidance and not subject to the unfortunate comparisons with normal children which serve to develop their sense of inferiority. “All save the most extreme cases can be made into valuable members of society,” he says. “Indeed, the retarded child, once he clears those formative years, In which most criminals germinate their antisocial tendencies, is likely to surprise us with his competence.” A vast expansion of such schools, which now exist in a measure in the more progressive cities, would not mean a graeter public expendi-

ture, but an actual saving of millions of dollars, his North American Review article shows. “There should be funds available to make it possible for every community to start every child in kindergarten at 5, if not 4,” says the welfare expert. “Upon entering, every child should receive a thorough mental and physical examination. However expensive, it would be a saving over the future court costs it prevented. “The records should include the family history as far back as possible, with data on the mental, physical and sociological antecedents. With such records it would be pjossible to detect the first sign of retardation immediately and to put the child under close and sympathetic supervision.”
