Some could be recognized as such, however, only with difficulty. Often no provision for the buyer's convenience is provided. In others it is necessary to install gates because there is so little system about the arrangement that no one would know the proper point of entrance or exit without them. Then, there is the' greedy Self Service operator, who piles his store (customers') aisles so full of displays that one can shop only at great inconvenience and danger of falling down. by Governor Dern, Welfare Organizations Clubs, and Mental Hygiene Society. Utah is one of only three itatea In (he entire country which has not a separate institution (or the care of its feeble-mindeaccording to a recent report of the United States bureau of census on feeble-mindein state institutions. Realizing the urgent need for such an institution the Utah Societr for Mental Hygiene is leading in a movement to urge upon the legislature the necessity of making an appropriation to buildi a home for this class of unioi tunates and provide them with the training necessary to make them useful members of society. The seriousness of the present situation is shown by facts gathered under the direction of the society. They bring out very forcibly that the neglect of the feeble-minderesults in criminality and degeneracy, all the more pitiful because it could be prevented. Under proper care potential criminals could be made into useful citizens. According to a survey made in Utah by Dr. George L. Wallace director of the committee on mental hygijne in the United States, and other reliable information available there are about 500 feeble-mindechildren in this state in pressing need of custodial care. Dr. Wallace's investigation shows that Utah's percentage of feeble-mindeis from one to one and one-hal- f per cent. The present haphazard manner of who caring for the few feeble-mindeare given any attention thesa unfortunates, according to figures compiled by the society, is costing tha taxpayers much more proportionately than if a central institution were provided for this purpose. The per capita cost of providing for feeble-mindechildren in the Salt Lake City public schools for forty weeks of the school year, six hours a day, five days a week, is $70. For instruction in the Twelfth school for the same length of time the per capita cost for the same amount of instruction is ?243. Tha cost to the state department of public instruction for the thirty-fou- r and three-tenthweeks of the elementary school year for six hours a day, five days a woek, is $77, according to the findings of the society. According to a report of tha director of education at the State Industrial school, twenty per cent of the inmates are feeble-mindeand the per capita cost of caring for them is more than $394 a year. This is not considered a fair per capita cost since it includes many items that cannot be fairly At the charged to individual same time many counties are paying $360 per capita for the care in private houses for their feeble-mindecharges. None of the foregoing schools or institutions, the society point out, is equipped to train the feeble-mindeeither in correct social habits or in labor. Many socially disastrous experiences of neglected feeble-mindeindividuals of the higher type are related by social workers who often contact them in some conflict with organized society. And because the particular individual concerned is neither insane, deaf and dumb nor blind he does not draw public sympathy. The mental blindness which lmpells him to take the wrong turning does not show. To the average citizen the feeble-minde- d transgressor with the mental age oi eight years looks about like everyone els a. This fact makes it even more imperative that some scientific and institution be provided for their care. In commenting on the fate of a tychild under existpical feeble-mindeing conditions, the society says: "Lack of success in the school room makes the mentally defective child unhappy, restless and frequently delinquent Hishome life may be economically depressed. When he reaches the limits of his capacity to learn in the class room, and has neither a Job nor the endurance to stay in school, the truant officers may do the only thing left for them to provide some care for the misfit turn him over to the juvenile court Onesuch boy became a ward of the- court under the following circumstances: "He was a confirmed truant with the actual age of eleven and the mental age of eight years. His mother was a moron drug addict, and no matter how much money his industrious father earned the children never had enough satisfying food. Various persons attempted to do something with the family, but they could not break it up in time to salvage the children. All the children stole whenever hunger pressed them too savagely, and the older girls, with their mother's approval, entered into lives of shame. "The boy already mentioned and his older brother became wards of the juvenile court, both progressing through the Detention Home, the Industrial school, the city and county jails to the The younger boy is a penitentiary. killer. Whenever he is hungry he holds up the first person that crosses his path. So far nothing but his him from poor aim has saved choosing whether he would rather be shot or hanged. He has served two terms in the state prison and is now at large. Although the boy has been a ward of the state of Utah since he was eleven years old he is still untrained to earn his living. When a small boy he liked shop work and might, at one time, have been trained into social and economical usefulness." The society believes that hundreds of human beings like this could be salvaged and not onl ysaved from downfall but made useful and citizens through the training which a state institution for the feeble-mindewould provide. It is reasonable to believe the recent crime committed against June Nelson could have been prevented should the offender received proper medical and mental care. The public should demand an institution that woould provide careand training for our most petiful unfortunates. pro-Tid- d O. P. S.
