Special Classes.
That 12 out of every 100 pu
pils at the threshold of the pub
lic schools are ‘mentally unusu
i al”, and need of special treat
ment, if possible apart from oth
er children, is the conclusion
reached by Dr. Arnold Gesell,
of Yale university, in a publica
tion just issued by the United
- States bureau of education.
“Take an ordinary kindergar
ten and first grade, with a com
bined enrollment of 100 pupils”,
says Dr. Gesell. “Among this
number we may expect to find
at least one child feeble-minded;
one child who stutters; two or
three who seriously lisp; an
other who is extremely anemic,
a badly spoiled child; another
babyish—a year or two retarded
in mental or moral growth; and
still another morally weak.
There will be one ‘negative’ child
—passive, colorless; one over
sensitive, nervous child; one
superficially precocious child;
another distinctly superior—ea
ger, ardent, imaginative, socia
ble.
“For some of these children
there is no better disposition
than prompt assignment ‘to a

special class, the special class
method having been put into suc
ful operation for thirteen dif
ferent types of children. But
even the special class—particu
larly the so-called ungraded
classes for backward children
that have been established in
our large cities—are greatly in
need of inventory.
“The diversity of the ungrad
ed class membership is often
pathetically picturesque. Here
is the roll call for such class in a
large eastern city: Twenty-four
boys, sixteen girls; nationalities
Norwegian, French, Irish, Ar
menian, Italian, Austrian Amer
ican, Chinese; names range
from James Moriarity and Ong
Yung to Arcangelo Christiano
and Nishan Kalenadoarian ; ages
range from 6 to 18; mentality
from giggling imbecility to am
bitious intelligence; morality
from truancy, cigarette smok
ing and thieving to good behav
ior; parentage, noted in special
cases .includes a drunken moth
er, an insane father and in three
instances, gypsies; physical con
dition, from partial blindness
and deafness and spinal trouble
and anemia, to vigorous physi
cal health. Think of the prob
lem before this teacher, who
may not even have a workir.

her consciousness to aid her in
classification and instruction
In the opinion of Dr. Gesell,
l
! the time is coming when all our
I large municipal school systems
| and perhaps county educational
[ systems as well, will have the
( equivalent of a department of
child classification and special
classes. “Child classification is
the basis of child hygiene,” he
declares, “but it is more. The
primary school may develop into
a sociological clearingagency for
the discovery and registration
of all children who, when adults,
may prove socially dependent,
defective or dangerous. Child
classification thus becomes a
part of the task of social hygi
ene as well.”—Memphis News

The Farmers and Politics.
The farmers are regarded as
the most important factor ir
, every political campaign in Ar
kansas, and most of the candi
dates for office take some pains
I to persuade the farmers of theii
interest in the farmers’ welfare
In fact the farmers get mors
praise and compliments durinj
the campaign than any othei
class of citizens, in proportioi
ito what they get in considera
tion at the hands of the ser
vants of the people after th<
. election. If this means any
thing it means that the offic<
seekers are interested more ii
getting the votes of the far
mers than they are in doinj
something in the way of con
structive service for the far
mers.
If a candidate for office is in
reality a good friend of the far
mers and anxious to do some
thing for them, and has brains
and ability enough to do it, he
ought to have brains enough to
tell the farmers what he propos
es to do, before the election.
If he hasn’t that much brains
he couldn’t do anything if elect
ed. There are a lot of things
the next Legislature can do for
the good of the farmers. The
candidates for the Legislature
who have enough brains to do
these things ought to have
enough brains and initiative to
know what some of these things
are in advance, and enough
I courage and candor to discuss
I them now. It would be a good
! idea for the farmers if they
I would cast aside personal pref
I erence and select men for legis
lative positions who stand
squarely on issues beneficial to
the farming interests, all else
being equal- The farmers do
1 not need or want anything that
will not be for the general good
of the state. In the past their J
interests have been neglected. !
If they do not look after these !
matters they will be neglected
and disregarded the next time.
When the legislature is in ses
sion the farmers cannot be
there to look after their inter
ests. The others come. The
farmers should look after the ;
matter at home before the mem- j
bers are elected. i
The Department of Mines. |
Manufactures and Agriculture j|
is the farmers’ department of j
the State government. For j
years it has been more or less |
neglected by the Legislature, ]
and as a result the Department |
is not able to do half what it
should be doing for the ag['.cul
tural interests of the .State.
The pure food law in this State
has never been enforced. I
asked the Legislature to make
an appropriation for its en
forcement. So did Clay Sloan,
my predecessor. The Legisla
ture refused. I asked for a suf
ficient appropriation to enforce
the law for the inspection of
stock feed. The Legislature re
duced it. and failed to make any
appropriation at all to pay the
expenses of the inspectors- This
occurred through the action of
the Senate. The result of this
action has been to almost de
stroy the usefulness of feed in
spection, and on that account
the Federal court has granted
an injunction against collecting
the tax for the inspection, and
deprived the State of several
thousand dollars annually. I
asked the Legislature to give
the Department $10,000 to hold
farmers’ institutes. They re
fused, and the farmers have
gone without the institutes,
while in other states thousands
of dollars are being spent in
holding farmers’ institutes ev
ery year. All of these things
could have been carried out
without placing a burden on the
tax payers, and nothing has
been gained by not doing it. The
legislature did what they
though best. They evidently
did not realize the importance
of this department. Certainly
they did not give it the consid
eration other states do. In
Ohio the Agricultural Depart
ment has $100,000 to spend as
they see fit for the advance
ment of agriculture. In Ala
* bama the Agricultural Depart
ment has all the funds they need
! and in most of the other states
; the same is true. If the legis
' lature will give this Department
i a chance we will give the farm
■ ers the service. I hope the
■ people generally will take an
! interest in this matter along
• with others of equal import
! aance to come before the next
i legislature.
