Juvenile Protective Survey in Chi
cago Reveals 88 Per Cent of
Delinquents Are Boys.
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—There are
about 6,000 mentally defective chil
dren in Chicago, according to esti
mates based on a survey made by the
Juvenile Protective Association. The
report of the survey, written by John
Edward Ransom and Alexander John
son, has just been made public, Prac
tically all the work of the survey was
made while Mrs. Gertrude Howe Brit. |
ton was superintendent of the asso
ciation,
The association obtalned dati on
4,445 defective children and had fairly
complete histories of 1,260, The
study began with the children who
came before the Juvenile Protective
Assoclation, the subnormal rooms
of the epublic schools, the county
agent, the United Charities, the Juve
nile Court, and the Juvenile Portec
tive Assoclation,
Recommendations Made.
Recommendations as a result of the
study are as follows:
Separate and special instructions for
retarded children and subnormal chil
dren in the public schools.
A follow-up system for the children
after leaving the special rooms.
An institution for subnormal chil
dren,
A farm colony.
Provision for a teachable group of
defective delinquents.
A law providing for the commitment
to institutions.
Legal protection of feeble-minded
&irls and women,
Mrs. Britton sald she believed the
Survey was the most Important work
ever done by the Juvenile Protective
Association.
88 Per Cent Boys.
Last year in the public schools there
were 51 rooms for subnormal children,
with an enrollment of 1,266, The 80~
clety followed up the cases of 520
children. Eighty-eight per cent were
boys. Only 64 of the entire number
were girls,
“This enormous disproportion,”
reads the report, “can be exn'alned
only by assuming that the subnormal
boy is far more apt to be troublesome
and unmanageable in the regular room
than is the subnormal girl, who may
be quiet and doclle, If she is de.
cidedly feeble-minded.
Seventy per cent stayed in the sub.
normal room ten months or less, 19
per cent remained from one to two
years, about 7 per cent between two
and three years, and about 4 per cent
over three years. Over three-fourths
of these children were promoted to
the grade rooms. There is no way by
which we can tell how these children

STANDARD OF THE WORLD
City and CountryJUnite in Unqualified Endorsement of
The Eight-Cylinder Cadillac
N the cities of the nation, the Cadillac is firmly estab
lished as the highest known stamdard of motor car
efficiency. 3
And precisely the same process that brought the cities
to this conclusion is at work in the country.
Cadillae reputation began to travel from the town to the
farm years ago.
It has swelled in volume with each succeeding season.
The production of the V-type Eight-Cylinder Cadillae
brought it to a climax both in the city and in the
country.
The intensely interesting thing about Cadillac reputation
is that no one questions it.
There may have been a time in the early days of the in
dustry when a few people asked if the Cadillac was
as good a car as some ecars which sold for very much
more money,
Now, wherever you go, the situatjon is exactly reversed.
The only question asked now is whether the cars of high
est price are as good as the Cadillac.
No matter how far away you may travel from the centers
of business activity—the good reyutation of the
Cadillac has preceded vou.
It makes no dierence what ear a man owns—he gladly
concedes the superiority of the Cadillac.
More Cadillacs were sold to farmers last year than in any
one year of its history,
A great many of the most successful Cadillac dealers get
the greatest bulk of thejr business from the farm.
All of this proves conclusively that the farmer—like his
city brother—has learned to diseriminate in buying his
motor car.
He no longer stops short at the subjeet of price—but
looks beyond. He looks at the question of long life, of
inereased and continuous eomfort, of higher market
value when he comes to buy a new car,
And, of course, in each and every one of these respects
the superiority of the Cadjllae is universally. admitted.
It is admitted to be the car of longer life and of higher
market value when sold at second hand.
And it is unquestionably the car of greatest continuoqs
comfort—because, by the production of 13,000 cars_ it
has brought the V-type eight-cylinder engine to its
highest point of development.
That this wonderful engine does produce a greater degree
of continuous comfort—in fact, a quality of comfort
unknown until it was perfected by the Cadillac Com
pany—is now a matter beyond argument.
It does not call for discussion—because the most inexye
rienced motorist can see the difference in the quality
of the Cadillac performance before he has driven the
car a mile.
As far as the Cadillaw Company is concerned, there is no
element of experiment in the V-type ejght-cylinder car.
The past season, with its production of 13,000 cars of this
type, has been the most brillianty successful which
any motor car company has ever known.
Never was any car deluged with such a flood of enthu
siastic endorsements from its owners.
The tributes which it has feceived have echoed around
the world.
If it had been possible to attain a productjon of twice
13,000 ecars, America would have absorbed them all.
And the tributes which have been paid to it have covered
every possible point of motor car performance.
They have testified to its unequaled smoothness and
silence and simp)licity of operation.
They have produced overwhelming evidence of its abjlity
to elimb hills with such ease that those in the car are
scarcely aware that it is elimbing at all.
They tell of wonderful powers of endurance ; of new ele
ments of mental and physical rest and relaxation.
They proudly bear witness to the fact that the Cadillae
possesses every virtue that a motor ear could possibly
possess.
Yet when you ride in it you are certajn to be convineed
that these tributes fall far short of deseribing the actual
performance of the car.
Get in touch with your Cadillae dealer_ and arrange for
vour ride,
