PROBLEM OF THE INCORRIGIBLE I0Y
Environment More to Blame Than
Heredity SelNEatrannjenient of the
Child Hound Table
Sessions.
Tho teachers attending tho meeting of
tho Southwestern Iowa Teachers' associa
tion, and the registration lists showed that
there were nearly 600 of them, put In a
busy day Friday. Three- sessions, Inter
spersed with a reception, each session pre
senting a lengthy program, comprised the
day's work.
The morning program Included addresses
by Superintendent Miles of the State In
dustrial School for Boys at Eldora; Presi
dent Beardsheo-r of the Stato Agricultural
college at Ames, and President Clark of
tho State Normal school at Peru, Neb. The
general session In tho afternoon was de
voted In part to a lecture by Dr. A. E. Win
ship of Boston, editor of the Educational
Review, and tho round-table meetings were
held. Then followed tho Informal recep
tion given tho visitors by the city teach
ers. The evening program consisted of a
lecturo by Prof. John B. De Motte of
Greencastle, Ind.
At the close of tho afternoon session a
number of the teachers from the farthest
points left for their homes. The city
schools were closed to enablo the teachers
to have the benefit of the sessions.
An Interesting feature of tho morning
session was tho address by Superintendent
B. J, Miles of tho State Industrial School
for Boys at Eldora on "Tho Problem of the
Incorrigible Boy," In the discussion of
which Superintendent S. II. Bhcakley of
Des Moines took a loading part.
In opening Superintendent Miles said:
"Someone has sptly esld that the best time
to begin the reformation of bad boy U
with his grandparents. In their very early
years. This," ho said, "was all very welt
la theory, but they all knew that it was in
applicable and Impossible in practice"
From Evil Barlronmenta.
Continuing, he said: "We know that a
much larger per cent of Incorrigible come
from families of moral degradation, where
the environments are bad, than from those
of the better class, and yet there are
enough coming from good families whore
the environments are of the best and where
there la no taint of ancestral degeneracy
to prove conclusively that Incorrigibility Is
not always because of a degenerate her
itage or bad surroundings In early life. To
make a list of causea for Juvenile delln.
quency we ahould begin with Inherited
physical and moral degeneracy and then, aa
a closo second, give bad environments In
early life. These do not, however, account
for all the bad boys and girls."
As other causes of youthful delinquency
he enumerated: Indifferent, indulgent, dis
sipated, nagging, quarrelling, separated and
divorced parents, adopted and foster par
ents, stepmothers, over-zealous parents,
the over-rellgtous parent that forgets he
waa onco a boy and Insists on eliminating
from the young life of his boy tho popular
and harmlesa amusements, of the present
day; bad literature, cigarettes, Intoxicants,
Immoral shows, secret vices, idleness, pov
erty and absence from tho public school.
"It Is an easy task," he said, "to point
out the causes and see the effects, but it Is
an Herculean task to find and apply a rem
edy that will cure.
Seeking; nemetfles.
"With the moral delinquent we must try
one remedy after another until we find
something that will secure his attention,
arrest his downward progress and save him
from destruction. It has been said that a
co-operation of parent, teacher, preacher
and police would eliminate the bad boy and
solve the problem. This may be true In
theory, but In practice the defects are
quickly discovered."
The speaker suggested the juvenile re
'ormatory as the best means to the end
ought. Such an Institution, he said, was
n emergency hospital for the prompt, en
ergetic and heroic treatment of the mor
ally delinquent boy after other moans have
failed. The reformatory, he contended, can
and docs restrain and educate if It docs not
in alt cases work a reformation. Society is
protected whllo the boy sojourns in the
school and It he remains the average time
which Is about three years he will have
a fair common school education and a trade,
and these, he said, were the best safeguards
that he knew of against criminality.
Juvenile Reformatory.
The Juvenile reformatory, he asserted.
was a legltlmato part of the publlo school ,
system. The stato assumes this responsi
bility aa a duty, the same as it does that
of the public school. The reformatory, Ua
maintained, was. In no aense a penal Insti
tution; punishment for crime was not
thought of In Its Inception. It was only a
desire to make practical a method of sal
vation from crime, to prevent the boy from
becoming a criminal, to furnish a refuge
for those In danger of falling. Mr. Miles
concluded his address, which secured the
closest attention and evident tnterost of his
audience, with a short description of the
methods adopted at the Eldora school and
tholr results.
Superintendent Sheakley of Des Moines,'
who led the discussion, said he agreed with
Superintendent Miles in the main, but he
did not place much stock In heredity as a
couso It was, in his opinion, but a lame
excuse Environment was the chief cause,
he thought, of youthful delinquency, and In
a majority of cases the parents were to
blamo moro or Jess. Aa a remedy ho sug
gested truant or reform schools in cities
and compulsory education. He believed the
schools should' havo moro teachers and less
pupils to each tcacW, so that the teacher
could glvo more time to a boy or girl who
. might show traits of Incorrigibility. He
I believed that halt the school day would be
sufficient for the regular studies while the
other half could be devoted to manual
training, music, the arts, nature study, etc.,
that would tend to elevate the pupil.
Tho address of President Beardshear of
Ames Agricultural college on "The Self
estrangement of the Child" was a soholarly
i effort. President Clark of the Nebraaka
Stato Normal school spoke on "Suggestion
In Education," his address beng brimful
of good suggestions for the teacher to bear
In mind and consider.
Hound Table Sessions.
The round-table sessions in the afternoon
were divided Into sections, th'e rural school
section being under the leadership of Sup.
crlntendent J. C. Bennett of Mount Ayr, the
primary under the leadership of Miss Alice
Wilson of Des Moines, the graramsr de
partment under Superintendent H. H. Sav
age ot iinlson, the high school section un
der Principal J. E. Pearson of Red Oak,
and the principals' round-table under the
leadership of Principal M, E. Crosier ot
Walnut.
At the close ot the round-wale meetings
the visitors gathered in the gymnasium,
which was prettily decorated, and were
given an Informal reception by the city
teachers, light refreshments being served.
Prof. De Motto was unable to give his
lecture on "The Harp of tho Senses" last
evening. A large audience had assembled
to hear him, but at tho last moment It was
discovered that tho most Important por
tions of tho stcroopttcon paraphernalia
wore missing. They wcro later discovered
to be In Omaha, but too late for him to glvo
tho lecture. After considerable delay Dr.
Wlnshtp ot Boston was prevailed upon to
Oil In the evening, which ho did by lectur
ing in a most dollghtfut manner upon Long
fellow and Lowell. The commltteo offered
to refund the price ot admission, but few
availed themselves ot tho offer, remaining
to hear Dr. Wlnshlp.
Tho meeting will closo with this room

stato superintendent ot public Instruction,
will deliver an address and Dr. Arnold
Tompkins of Chicago lecturo on "Tho Beau

DES MOINES, Nov. 1. (Special.) The
collateral Inheritance tax law has been the
cause ot a great ileal of uncertainty In tho
matter of Its application and Attorney Gen
eral Mullan today rendered a decision to
tho treasurer ot state on ono point which
will bo of valuo to the etato. He held that
the stato ot Iowa can collect tho collateral
Inheritance tax on an estate In Iowa
which was owned by a person In Pennsyl
vania and left to collateral heirs In that
state. The question was raised by tho stato
treasurer's ofllco and the executor ot tho
estate of William Hubcr of Chatnbcxsburg,
Pa. Tho treasurer bcllovcd tho tax would
apply, but tho executor would not havo It
so. That part of tho cetato In Iown and
declared to bo subject to tho tax Is situated
In Madison and Sac counties, and thero are
also several town lots in Council Bluffs. Tbo
stato treasurer has as yet mado no estlmato
of the valuo of tho cstato In Iowa, but the
tax will bo considerable. Tho will ot the
deceased provided that tho property should
bo sold and divided among collateral helra
In Pennsylvania.

Indian Smallpox Case.
Indian Agent Maltn, In charge of tho
Sacs and Foxes in Tama county, has Is
sued a statement In which ho deprecates
the sensational statements which havo been
published In regard to tbo smallpox out
break on tho reservation. He states that
all the deaths from smallpox had been re
ported to him (nf accordance with the rulae
and the causes"' of death had been variously
atated. Some o't them were said to be
consumption. The examination by a mem
ber of the State Board of Health on the
23d of October showed seven cases then
on the reservation. Agent Malln concludes:
"Early Id Sep'tembar I bad received In
structions from the Indian department to
vacclnato all the Indians at the camp, and
at the time, and beforo this reported out
break, they were coming In every day to
have the operation performed. Tho two
young men spoken of as having the dlseaso
In mild form had been vaccinated eight
or nine daya before tho doctors saw them
and had been reported by their father ns
being qulto sick from 'vaccination. Nearly
200 of these peoplo have been vaccinated
and many ot thorn have sora arms In con
sequence. '
"There has been but ono death reported
since the 20th and that was not caused by
smallpox. I have made dally Inquiries as
to the conditions at tho camp and the In
dians insist that no new cases havo de
veloped and that all the cases reported
are getting well. Many of tho older In
dians still Insist that thero has been no
smallpox on the roservatlon and that tho
health of tho camp Is normal.
"There has been no specific disease ot
any kind at tho school slnco Its opening
on the 1st of September nnd the health
of the pupils Is as near perfect as may be
found In tho sarao number of children In
any school anywhere,"

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
If sho is ono of tho favored daughters of wealth, if sho belongs
even to tho realm of tho "well-to-do," or if fiho belongs to tho un
numbered thousnnds who must work in order to live tho story is
Just tho same ; all suffer from about the mitno cause, nnd in this suf
ering "peculiar to women," all reach tho sanio level, and all aro of tho
eamo family.
When a woman is nervous and irritablo, head and back nchc, feels
tired all tho time, loses sleep and appetite, has pains in groins, bearing
down sensation, whites und irregularities, sho is not " worn out," but
feels as if sho wero.
Such symptoms tell her that a womb troublo is imminent, and she
cannot act too promptly if sho values her future comfort and happiness.
Tho experience and testimony of somo of tho most noted women of
America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lytllu 12. Pinkhnm's
Vegetable Compound will correct all such troublo at onco by remov
ing tho cause and restoring tho organs to a healthy and normal condition.
If In doubt, wrlto Mrs. IMnkhnm at Lynn, Mass., m thousands do.
Mrs. Plnkham Tells Mrs. Scott How to be Cured.
" Dear Mrs. Pinkham : I have been for somo years a great sufferer and
thought I woulil write and explain my l.iso to you as you had helped ao
many others. Menstruation is irregular und very painful. I have suffered
v?ith painful periods for ten years but tho pains grow worse ns I grow older.
' I suffer most with my back, lower part of abdomen nnd left side. I havo
been flowing all tho month nnd a part of August, not constantly, but will
atop for two or three days and then begin again.
" Tho doctor says I nave misplacement of tho womb. I have bearing down
pains when passing urine, and my abdomen is very badly swollen nud sore.
Please advise me at your earliest convenience." Mus. A. V. Scott, 21 Pago St.,
Kingston, Pa. (Sept. 30, 1000.)
" Dbar Mrs. Pinkiiam: When I wrote to you asking advice no ono
could describe my suffering. The doctors said I could not bo relieved unless
I had an operation performed, but thanks to you and your medicine I got
along without having the dreaded operation. I havo taken ten bottles of
vour medicine and am once moro well and happy. Lydia E. Plnkham'ft
Vegetable Compound is a fine mtulclno and n God-send to suffcriug
1 women. I trust my letter may bo the moans of bringing many of my suffer
ing sisters to accept your kind aid." Mrs. A. V. Scott, SI Page St., Kingston,
Pa. (Jan. 30, 1001.)
Remember Mrs. Pinkhnm's advice is free, and all sick women
are foolish if they do not for it. No other person has such
vast experience, nnd has he d so many women.
