The problem of the ninety ami nine 1
Is the real problem ir: school eduva
tion of to-day, Recording to Miss ,
Julia Rlchman, district superintendent 1
oj New 1 ork city public schools, who
discussed ^Juvenile delinquency" be- •!
fore the gl-nt-rai session oi the Ylr- ;
ginia Educational Conference Wednes
day In John Marshall high school.
"The problem of the one is another
question." she said, "and the time
has come when the authorities must
wake up to the Importance of provid
ing separate systems and school rooms
! for the bad boy.
"It is not right “ she insisted, ' that j
| the teacher should waste her life blood
on the bad and delinquent boy to the
! detriment of the good pupils, eager
; to learn. Shall a teacher he torment
\ ed and lie worried almost to death Just
i because a few bad boys happen to be
in her room? 1 say ‘no.' most ejn
! phatically. "
Energy Wasted.
I "Had boys can be managed but not
to any degree of satisfaction under the
present system. On many occasions 1
• have noted that princlpale were devot
i ing practically all their time to the
! question of managing bad boys under
their supervision and were thus wast
i ing much effort that ought to have
j been directed tow ard the general Im
provement and development of his de
i part men t.
"Such a system is an outrage to j
i every one concerned,” continued Miss
I Kirhman. "It Is an Injustice to the i
had boy, it is an injustice to the good
boy and it Is an injustice to the school. ;
The proper solution, aa I have found
from experience, is the segregation of
the bad and incorrigible pupils in sep
arate rooms, with exceptional teachers
of great disciplinary ability in charge.
That arrangement gives the good and
studious pupils an opportunity to learn
and to profit by the earnest efforts
of their teacher that they would not
otherwise get.”
Teacher Do Har Part,
Miss Rlchman was ready to admit
that much depended upon the teacher ,
and in a number of instances the fault
lay perhaps more with the teacher than
with the pupil. Her remarks in thjs
connection she wanted applied to the
conscientious teacher not afraid of
work and with the average amount of
ability to manage children. She was
liberally applauded when she declared
that the time was at hand when the
teacher should no longer be tormented
by the bad boy. If any other recourse
was available.
Mias Rlchman dlscuased the causes
and treatment of the Juvenile delin
quent, declaring at the offset that ln
| efficient parenta were In many cases
I responsible for the delinquency of the
! child. This was especially the case
i with Immigrants coming to this coun
try In large numbers. By the exertion
of the right kind of Influence, she be
lieved that practically every boy. no
matter how bad. might be saved and
made a useful law-abiding citizen in
stead of a criminal. She selected sev
eral types of the bad boy in New York
with which she had dealt In recent
years , and said that In every instance
the boy had been thoroughly and effec
tively reformed by the application of
proper methods adjdsted to the indi
vidual case. In the case of a boy
whose eyese were badly crossed, she
showed that reformation was easily
accomplished after they were taraight
