Children Horn Ont of Wedlock Are
Not Ordinarily Defective nnd
Not Nereniinrllj- find,
J Edncntor.
ST. PAUL. Minn.. July R.-Th child
born out of wedlock Is not ordinarily a
defective nor l It necessarily bad, accord
ing to Dr. M. P. E. Orossmann of the Na
tional Association for the Study and Edu
j cation of Exceptional Children, who spoke
before the department of special education
at the convention of the National Edu
cation association today. A close study
of thousands of cases, he said, had lls-
closed the startling fact that less than
10 per cent of the children born to women
leading Irregular lives were below normal.
Dr. Orossmann further declared there
was no such thing a nn ax-erage child.
"Every child Is an exceptional child, a
different child," ho said. "There is no
standard by which to Judge them as 'av
erage.' "
Statistics have be on complied oy Dr.
Grossmann showing that the United States
spends 1, 100.000.000 annually for police,
courts of Justice, prisms, charities nnd
corrections" and similar forms of protec
tion against evils, and only JfiOO.OOO.000 for
schools, churches nnd other constructive
agencies.
Several committees submitted reports to
their varloua departments today. Mid
speakers discussed salaries, mental tsta
for children, school gardens, use of mov
ing pictures In schools, sex hygiene nnd
numerous other problems.
Would SesrrcKnte Defectives.
Segregation of mentally deficient chil
dren waa recommended In a paper read
by Dr. Franklin W. Barrows of Buffalo.
N. Y., medical Inspector of schools, be
fore the department of special education,
"Children who are teachable all those
above the stage of Idiocy shoud be gath
ered Into special ctasscs under expert
teachers," Dr. Barrows said. "Children
not in schools should be Inspected regu
larly by experts. Tho home life of sub
normal and abnormal children often sup
presses the little mentality that they pos
sess. Properly cared for there is some nil-
vage in most of these children. The medi
cal Inspector should examine these chil
dren thoroughly and promote their phy
sical health. Wo ought to have mlform
Ity In our methods of Inspection and mi-
pervislon.
"The school occupies strategic position
with every facility for the discovery of
these unfortunate cases. No other agency
can do what the school can do for the
prevention of the evil results that flow
from unrecognized and untreated mental
delinquency."
Movie Will Aid Schools.
That moving pictures are destined to
revolutionize the present inethbd of teach
ing was the contention of speakers at a
meetlne devoted to the discussion of their
juse. They said that motion pictures gave
vlsuallty and quickened-tlie Imagination
of the child to a far greater degree in a
few minutes' time than tho text book
would do In days of study. Subjects cov
ering the curricula from kindergarten to
the graduate course already are In use In
a few cases and others are being pro
pared for use In every branch of science.
Representatives of smallenSchools are
behind a resolution which Is before tho
committee on resolutions, disapproving)
of the Sage foundation, tho Carr.eglo
foundation, the various Rockefeller and
simitar organizations for the pensioning
of teachers in the bis cJucatlonal Insti
tutions. The resolution is based on tho democ
racy of education nnd tho long effort of
the association to guard tnat dctiicirnuy.
It recites that the foundations njuro the
small schools and demand thai n com
mittee be appointed by the, issjclation to
Investigate with a view to learning
whether the various foundations erd
boards in reality have stimulated teach
ers to study and industry, or have de
creased their ambitions by providing thim
with a cortalnty of livelihood after their
teaching days have ended.
Forty Thousand Coal
Miners in Illinois
Idle, Says McDonald
SPRINGFIELD. 111., July 7.-A ds
pcrate condition in the coal mining In
dustry In Illinois was depicted by Dun
ran McDonald, secretary Treasurer of
the Illinois Mine Workers, addressing the
state efficiency and economy committee
at Its meeting today at the state house,
considering reorganization of the labor
and mining agencies of Illinois. Forty
thousand of the 90,000 members of his or
der In the state are out of work, said
Mr. McDonald, because of the overdoing
of the coal mining Industry In Illinois.
"Many of these miners are on the;
crge of starvation." said the
'as we have not enough money in our
relief fund to supply them all. Eighteen
mining companies failed last year and
probably more than that number will fall
this year. Too many mines are being
opened. There should be a law here Ilka
that In Germany, restricting the opening
of new mines."

SPEAKS IN SUPPORT OF JONES
Unfair to Party and Senate to Re
gard it as Enemy of Big or

President Hopes that Financier
Will Reconsider Decision.
JONES' NOMINATION UP TODAY
Tntlmntlnn that Senate Will Nut
Withdraw tnvltntlon to air.
Wnrhnrn to Explain III
llnnldnnr Connections.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-Declarlng It
would be unfair to regard tho democratic
party as tho enemy of big or little busi
ness, President Wilson today gave out
a statement In support of Paul Warburg
of New York and Thomas D. Jones of
Chicago, his nominees for tho fcdoral
reserve board.
President Wilson's statement follows:
"It would be particularly unfair to the
democratlo party and to tho senate Itself
to regard It as the enemy of business,
big or little. I am sure that it does not
regard a man as an object ot susplqlon
merely because he has been connected
with great business enterprises. It knows
that the business of the country has been
chiefly promoted In recent years by
enterprises organized on a great scale,
and that tho vast majority of tho men
connected with what wo have come to
call big business aro honest. Incorruptible
and patriotic. Th country may be certain
that It Is clear to members of the senate,
as It is clear to all thoughtful men that
those who have tried to make big busl
ness what It ought to be, are tho men
to be encouraged and honored, whenever
they respond without reserve to the call
of public service.
Sflf-Sncrlf loins: Patriot.
"I predict with the greatest confidence
that nothing done by tho democratic ma
jority of the senate of tho United States
would be of a sort to throw suspicion
on such men. Mr. Jones and Mr. War
burg, In manifesting their willingness to
mako personal sacrifices nnd put their
great experience and ability at the service
of the government, without thought of
personal advantage, in tho organization
of a great reform, which promises to be
so serviceable to the nation, are sotting
an example of patriotism and of publln
spirit which tho whole country admires.
It Is tho obvious business ot the states
manship at this turning point to our de
velopment, to recognize ability and char
acter, wherever It has been displayed and
unite every forco for tne 'upbuilding of
legitimate, business along the new lines
wh)ch are now clearly indicated for the
future."
The president sold today he earnestly
hoped Mr. Warburg would reionslder his
decision not to accept the nomination and
that h was urging him to do so. He
expressed confidence that Mr. Jones
would be confirmed.
Warburg;' Foreign Connection,
The senate banking committee held no
meeting today, but nn opportunity will
be afforded tomorrow for a formal mo
tion to withdraw the Invitation that Mr.
Warburg appear to be questioned. It
was said today by members that a ma
jority probably would oppose It. Acting
Chairman Hitchcock said no suggestion
hod reached him from administration
officials for withdrawal of the invitation.
The nomination of Thomas D. Jones
of Chicago also will be taken up to
morrow. It was not certain today that
Mr. Jones would be approved by a ma
jority. It became known today that several
members of the committee are not so
much Interested In the American connec
tion of Mr. Warburg as with any Interest
he may have In foreign banking houses
and In his foreign Investments.

STREET RAILWAY IS
PROPOSED FOR MITCHELL
evening O. B. Cassem ot this city sprang
a surprise upon the majority of the citi
zens when he presented an ordinance ask
ing for the right and privilege of build
ing a street railway in Mitchell. Tho
ordinance calls for the construction of a
line to the northeast portion of the city,
to extend from three to four miles. Oil,
gas or electricity were named aa the
possible means of fuel for operation.
Thorough discussion was given the propo
sition by the council, but no action wns
taken, It being considered best to sound
the sentiment of the citizens at large.
There was objection to the proposition
because ot the failure of the proposed
line to touch either the main business
district or the vicinity of Dakota Wes
leyan university. The ordinance will be
further considered at the next meeting
of the council.

particulars und opposing It In others, a
delegation of business men, representing
tho Chicago Association of Commerce,
conferred more than nn hour today with
President Wilson.
The conference had to do with particu
lars of the pending anti-trust bills. Tho
Chicago delegates advocated establishing
a trado commission broader In scope In

nual reports to tho commission. They
thought that such reports should be only

tion he would try to arrange a conference

commission bill as It passed the house.

tions, at least three Carranza officials
will resign owing to tho demands mado
by Vllln's delegates to tho conference,
Isldro Fabcln, minister of communica
tions In the Carranza cabinet; Alfredo
Urecede, one of Cnrranza's special agents
In Washington, and General Isldro Tre
vlno. chief of staff to the constitutional
ist leader, will be removed, according to
well Informed constitutionalists In El
Pnso. It Is roported that Rnfael Zubaran
Cnmpary, special representative of Cnr
rnnza In Washington, also may resign,
as tho Villa faction Is bitter against him.
In return for these concessions on Car-
rnnza's part, Villa has acknowledged ab
solute subordination to him, according to
messages from Torreon. Whether Gen
eral Felipe Angeles, chief of nrtlllery un
der Vllln, will be expelled from the con
stltutlonnllst ranks by Cnrranza's order,
still was n matter o conjecture among
both factions here.
While on the surfaco everything seems
peaceful, there Is growing conviction on
both sides horc thnt the adjustment Is
only temporary,
Villa Is sending his brigades northward
from Torreon, Wtcnfjbjy to recuperate.
