THE CURSE

.■N. States Eighty per cent .
\ of the feeble-minded chil- i
I dren come from 19 per
V y cent of the community.
idiocy — feeble-minded
ness, is simply another name for it—
is a matter of heredity.
“There has been a terrible Increase
ia tbe number of feeble-minded chil
dren in the past few years.
‘ Feeble-minded mothers are twice
as prolihe as normal women.
“The country rar.no: build institu
tions rapidly enough to bouse and take .
care of the feeble-minded.
"The only solution of the problem Is ;
the snsexieg of all feeble-minded per
sons to preretu them from breeding
more feeble-mi: ded children, and the
training of the feeble-minded who are
now here to be self-supporting.“
These are a few of the conclusions
reached by Prof. E. R. Johnstone
and Dr. Henry H Goddard of the :
training school for feeble minded chil
dren at Vineland. X. J..' after a care
ful study of more than 250 families
it* which feeble-minded children have
been born for several generations. In
four of these families the records of
2.70# individuals were traced, of which
number 6S7 were feeble-minded, or
nearly one-fourth of tbe entire num
ber.
At the present time Dr. Goddard,
who Is in charge of the research de
partment of the institution, is engaged
in tracing tbe records of the members ;
of a single family which promises to j
rival if cm actually to surpass the rec
ord of the notorious Jukes family.
Jukes, it will be remembered, is tbe
famous family of criminals usually I
cited as the most glaring example of
heredity In crime. More than two
thirds of the descendants of tbe orlg- ,
sons (to follow only one branch of the
family) fell In love with a feeble-mind
ed woman. Nobody prevented them
from marrying. They brought 11 chil
dren into the world. And one of their
idiot daughters bore 11 children.
And the last in the direct line of
horrors is a girl of 14 in the train
ing school at Vineland who has the
mind of a child of two. This, mind
you, is tracing only one member of the
family in each generation. That one
youth who wronged that feeble-minded
girl more than a century ago became
the ancestor through her of 1.146 hu
man beings. Dr. Goddard's assistants
have investigated the records of near
ly every one of these descendants only
to discover that 5S0 of them—or more
than half—were feeble-minded, many
of them with criminal records. Among
the others were numerous epileptics
—showing conclusively the terrible
consequences of that unfortunate
union.
Dr. Goddard's assistants have traced
nearly a thousand of the same young
man's legitimate descendants—the re
sult of bis union to a normal woman.
Not a single case of feeble-minded
ness has been found among them.
When this great work is completed.
Dr. Goddard believes it will be the
most powerful argument ever present
ed for the unsexing of all feeble-mind
ed persons The state of New Jer
sey has already passed a law which
provides for the unsexing of all in
mates of Institutions for the
feeble-minded. However, this will
only prevent those who are
already in the institutions from
breeding more feeble-minded children.
More effective measures are necessary,
and to that end Prof. Johnstone, who is
superintendent of the training school,
has outlined a plan which, if adopted,
will, he believes, do more to solve the
problem than anything that has been
attempted so far.
"All that we have yet done has been
to house the feeble-minded,” said Prof.
Johnstone the other day. "Now
we are finding that they are in
creasing with such rapidity that this
plan is impossible. We have got to
go a step further. Special classes must
be organized in every school
for all children who are be
hind in their work. These children

been traced back through seven generations to the parent stock_a sane

ical rounder of the family, a criminal
who came to America in the latter
part of the seventeenth century, were
criminals, feeble-minded persons or
degenerates. This family being stud
ied by Prof. Goddard shows an 1
even higher percentage of feeble-mind- 1
e4 members. Dr. Goddard has already ]
■pent three years in compiling and
classifying the information about this
family, gathered by seven trained in
Te*'*8s,°rs wbo have been constantly
in the field. Another year will elapse
before the record of every member
of .be family is traced and the work
completed, but the facts gathered so
far enable Dr. Goddard to declare the
case of the Jukeses is not an isolated I
otse—as many have believed—but a
typical one. In fact, every state in
the t’nion will furnish several fam
ilies. be declares
For obvious reasons It Is Impossible
to give the name of the family, but in
17K a young man of a proud New Jer
sey family wronged a feeble-minded
girl In the village near bis home. Then
he went bis way. married a girl of fine
family, reared children and died, high
ly respected, in 1837.
But the feeble-minded girl gave
birth to a roo of feeble mind, and this
son became the f&tber of 13 children,
seven of whom were Idiots. One of
the feeble minded sons married a
feeble-minded woman and all their
children were idiots. In the next gen
eratlon one of their feeble-minded
must be examined carefully by physi
cians. We are standardizing tests for
feeblemindedness, and bo accurate
are these tests that every feeble
minded child can be detected with
absolute certainty. If morally suitable
these backward children can be kept
in school and live at their homes until
the age of puberty. If they are not
morally suitable they should be sent
to training schools for the feeble-mind
ed. There they should be unsexed
and taught some useful occupation.
Thirty to fifty per cent, can be made
entirely self-supporting after ten
years’ training. When they grow up
they can be placed In homes and
farms for feeble-minded adults. The
men can work In shops and on the
farms. The women can sew and work
in the orchards. Many of them can
be permitted to return to their own
homes. The greatest danger today is
that feeble-minded persons when they
are allowed to return to their homes
bring more feeble-minded people itito
the world. But unsexing them will re
move this danger and wtihln a few
decades the community will have to
deal only with the occasional feeble
minded child who Is born to normal
parents.
We are not ready to adopt the old
Spartan custom of putting to death
the feeble-minded ,and the physically
unfit, although there are some per
sons who believe this should be done.
We cannot continue to bouse them.
The expense Is already greater than
the state can bear. We must put an
end to the breeding of feeble-mind
ed children as far as possible and
train those we have and those that are
bound to come to be self-supporting.
The training school at Vineland ts
tho only institution In America that
is scientifically and systematically
studying the problem of checking the
increase of feeble-minded cess. Elab
orate experiments are constantly be
ing conducted there with a view to bet
tering the condition of the inmates,
who number approximately '400. A
! few years ago It was discovered that
i the cretin type lacked the. thyroid
gland, and that feeding them the thy
j roid gland of a sheep produced a dis
tinct Improvement. It is now be
; lieved. in fact, it has been demon
j strated in many Institutions, that if
I the thyroid gland be fed to the cretin
type at an early age their efficiency is
greatly increased.
At the present many feeble-minded
■ children of the Mongolian type (so
called from their slant eyes) are be
| ing fed with pituitary glands and oth
ers with mixtures of the pituitary and
: thyroid glands in the hope that it will
| improve their physical and mental con
| ditions. These glands, which are ob
i tained from sheep and other animals,
are fed to the children three times a
! day in tablet form. The experiment
1 has been under way for about three
months, but at least a year must
elapse before any definite conclusions
can be reached as to its value. The
experiment is being made on the the
ory that some chemical element Is
missing from these children, and that
to correct their condition it is neces
sary to find out what this is. These
studies are directed by Dr. W. S. Cor
nell, who is in charge of the medical
research.
Another selected group of 20 feeble
minded children of different grades
are being fed with the pineal gland,
also in the form of capsules. Their
condition is being compared with that
of 20 children of the same grade who
are not being given the gland. Very
little is knowu of the uses of these
ductless glands, but the discovery that
feeding the thyroid gland to the cre
tin type improves their condition has
led several investigators to believe
that the feeding of pituitary and
pineal glands may have similar effects.
The pituitary gland is situated near
the base of the nose. When it Is dis
eased it causes a disease commonly
known as giantism. The pineal gland
in a small conical structure found
above the third verticie of the brain.
Of course, these experiments may re
sult in nothing, but so far the results
have been most encouraging.

COULDN'T BE CONVERTED
Pastor of Church Confesses His Inabil
ity to Pass a Counterfeit Sil
ver Dollar.
The minister walked solemnly to
the front of the platform, and after
gazing intently at the congregation
for some moments be cleared his
throat and spoke.
"I am sorry to have to announce."
he said slowly, "that some member of
this congregation on Sunday last put
a counterfeit silver dollar in the con
tribution box. What bis motive was
I know not. He may have assumed
that for the heathen a spurious dol
lar was as good as a real one. but it
should not be understood that the
actual money we take in here does
not go directly to them, and 1 hope
that the individual who gave the
spurious coin will be good enough to
redeem it. 1 am sorry to have to
make the request, but the fact Is that
I have tried three times to pass the
dollar in question off myself, and in
every case unsuccessfully, wherefore
I consider that it is up to the donor
to make good.”
I am the guilty party, parson,'"
said a little red-beaded individual sit
ting in the third row of pews, rising
and taking a genuine dollar out or
his pocket. “1 had hoped, sir. that
a man of your strong powers of ex
hortation, who has made a good man
out of such unpromising material as
myself, would be able to convert that
dollar—"
“You will please resume your seat,
Mr. Skinnerton,” said the clergyman.
"The treasurer will negotiate the ex
change at the conclusion of the serv
ice. The ushers will now proceed
with the collection, and while they are
about it please let me say that, as be
tween counterfeit money and suspend
er buttons for the collection plate. I
most unquestionably prefer the latter.
The suspender button can be made
useful, but spurious money Is not only
useless, but involves the clerical con
science in too great a strain, consider

[ FEDERALJUDGE RETIRES I
After 19 years on the federal bench
Judge Grosscup of Chicago has ten
dered his resignation, to, he says, ob
tain greater political freedom. He
wants to have a hand in the bringing
about of "the new political order of
things” that, he says, is to obtain In
this country
Judge Grosscup was first brought
into prominence in 1S94 during the
Debs riots In Chicago, growing out of
the big railway strike of that year
With Judge William A. Woods, he is
sued the injunction in favor of the
government and against the rioters
When the injunction was disregarded.
Judge Grosscup sent a telegram to
the president, calling for federal
troops. Adding to this the common
law machinery, he summoned a grand
jury and delivered a charge that gave
him an instant national reputation.
Judge Grosscup sat in a number of
other important cases, notably the
earlier beef trust cases, the Chicago
traction case and the Standard Oil case in which Judge Kenesaw M. Landis
imposed the $20,000,000 fine. Judge Grosscup reversed this case.
President Harrison appointed Judge Grosscup to the federal district
bench in 1S92. and in 1899 President McKinley appointed him a circuit judge.
| 1Q 1905 he was made presiding judge of the circuit court of appeals. Judge

He was Indicted in 1907 with other officers and directors of a street rail
i way company In Charleston. 111., as the result of a wreck in which 18 per

IS BELOVED BY CANADIANS
I
The Dominion of Canada seems to
be coming upon a new epoch in her
history. With the passing of the
liberal party from power the present
' governor general, Earl Grey, and his
wife, the much beloved Countess Grey,
will also pass from the stage of Cana
dian affairs and give place to the duke
and duchess of Connaught. Probably
: no other first lady of Canada has been
more popular with the Canadian
people than Countess Grey, whose
portrait is here shown. She is a wom
an of personality and charm and from
the time that she was warmly re
ceived Into the country by the Canadi
* ans she has endeared herself to their
j hearts in a way that makes her de
parture a source of deep regret
throughout the Dominion.
While in Canada Lady Grey has
taken the deepest interest in educa
tional. charitable and humanitarian
movements. She has been the moving
spirit of many of Canada’s charitable
enterprises ana always she has given unstinting!? cf her time, talents and
money to the bettering of Canadian social conditions. She has been a gen
eral favorite in Canadian society circles and also a grea. help to her hus
band in his work in Canada.
Lady Grey and the earl have ever been interested in athletics and dur
ing their years in Canada they have done a great deal toward the encourag
ing and promoting of the sport of the Dominion. The Canadian people are
greatly given to athletics and by their attitude in this regard the earl and
countess have made themselves exceedingly popular.
In departing Earl and Countess Grey will take with them the love,
esteem and respect of all Canadians and' their going into newer fields will
be mutually regretted by them and the people over whom they have so agree
ably presided.

I ADEE LONG IN THE SERVICE
Forty-two years' service under the
national government, 25 of them spent
as second assistant secretary of state,
is the remarkable record of Alvey Au
gustus Adee. perhaps the best known
man in the whole diplomatic world.
Secretaries of state may come and go.
but Adee goes on forever.
Mr. Adee was born In Astoria, N. Y..
November 27, 1842. His first service
in the diplomatic corps was as secre
tary of the American legation it Mad
rid, to which he was appointed on
September 9, 1870, and, in the absence
of the charge d’affaires, assumed the
duties of that office. He remained at
this post until 1877, when, because of
ill health, he returned to the United
States. Shortly after his return he
was appointed chief of the diplomatic
bureau, which place he held until July
18. 1882, when President Arthur ap
pointed him third assistant secretary
of state. President Cleveland promot
ed Mr. Adee to second assistant sec
retary of state on August 3, 1886. In this capacity he has served under Presi
dents McKinley. Roosevelt and Taft
He Is the official diplomatic note writer of the United States government.
It is he who politely tells a foreign power to "keep oft the grass.” Though
circular notes to foreign powers bear the signature of the secretary of state,
i they are the work of Alvey A. Adee
If a question of precedence Is to be settled for any great occasion, it falls
to the lot of the second assistant secretary of state to smooth matters out. j
If an heir is born to a foreign ruler, if a foreign power is celebrating an anni
versary of some historical or other event, or if a king or queen is celebrating
a birthday, a message of congratulation is immediately cabled by the presi
dent of the United States. If the message bore the name of the writer it
would be that of Mr. Adee.

| SUCCESSdR~TCrSTOLYPI N
The czar of Russia could never
have appointed a better man to the
place than when he made Waldemar
Kokovtsoff his premier. Kokovtsoff
had been acting In that capacity ever
since Stolypin was assassinated by
Dmitry Bogroff. so it was not any
thing unusual for the Russian em
peror to appoint M Kokovtsoff as the
murdered man's successor.
M. Kokovtsoff has traveled exten
sively. In this latter connection be
met many leading statesmen and men
c_f finance, which gave him a broader
knowledge or affairs outside of Rus
sia than Stolypin ever enjoyed. Ko
kovtaoff was also present at the as
sassination of the Japanese Prince
Ito at Harbin. Manchuria.
No Russian statesman has stood
higher in the public eye than Kokov
tzoff He is a popular figure in the
court circles and in the society of St
Petersburg. He is more sociable than
Stnlvnln. who was very austere in his
manners, and the popular opinion is that ha will make one of the best pre
miers Russia ever had or ever will have to boast of.
Kokovtsoff and Stolypin were never on friendly terms with one another,
and consequently they Had many political disputes. The present premier has
always been connected with the liberal party in Russia, and has been respon
sible for many the reforms In that country, especially the prisons, which are
becoming more like the penal institutions of other more civilised countries.

MISS SUSAN GLASPELL’S DOG
Voila the Original of the Puppies in
Her Story The
Visioning.
Miss Susan Glaspell. the author, has
a dog. which fact is of more impor
tance than might at first appear. For
Boberftian beast, that insptred the cre
introduoed two frolicsome puppies
named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
in the whole book than Why and Ain’t
It, to use their names tn English torm.
It was Miss Glaspell’s own dog. a
Bohemian beast. ,hat inspired the cr-e
•tion of The Visloning’s twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has a
French name. Voila. When its owner
bought it. over in Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail, both in mem
ory of the boulevard on which she
lived and as a sympathetic cognomen
for a sensitive sox:led Parisian dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting.
"Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!” So
Miss Glaspell compromised on Voila.
Voila has vagaries. It is a wan
derer. It is a coolie, and a coolie, it
evidently thinks, ought to be afield.
Whenever it feels that way. away
\oila goes. Fortunately it wears a
collar with Miss Glaspell’s name and
address. She has come to think noth
ing of such a phone message as this:
“Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspell! Veil,
dis is der bartender bei Hans Bum
meiransen’s saloon. No. no. vait! I
didn't got der wrong phone number. I
f boost vant to say 1 got here your tog.
Vill you come for him?”
Then the author of The Visioning
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
