Superintendent Wilson said, gave concerts in the park in the city of Vergennes last season but the city had become a little envious and had organized a band of its own. RESULTS OF MENTAL TESTS Coming to the psychological side of delinquency, Mr. Wilson said about one per cent of the children were exceptionally bright and had ai intelligence quotient of 110. One boy had an" i. Q.

of 151 and had the superior ability of one person In 10.000. His trouble, was due, said Mr. Wilson, to his not being given enough to do. There were" per cent of normal intelligence and 33 to per cent of the children who were subnormal. He added, "there la a tremendous amount of subnormality In our institutions for delinquents."

I have seen few cases of delinquency where the cause cannot be traced to the parents or the borne." said W. Wilson, superintendent of the Vermont Industrial school at Vergennes.

In beginning his talk before Unity in the parlors or the Unitarian Church last night. Mr. Wilson set out to tell his bearers about the institution of which he Is the head and In which are housed about 114 delinquent boys and girls. He said that few knew much- about the Institution except the awful stories told about It by teachers and fond parents who used It as a bugaboo to frighten children Into good behavior. HOW CHILD IS TREATED Mr.

Wilson said that formerly Institutions tried to do something to the child Instead of something for the child. He told of the entrance of the child into the school, of its entering the office where the euperlntencent or an assistant learned about the child and its problems. Then followed two weeks of quarantine In the hospital where the child was examined physically and its needs attended to. also something learned of Its mental status. During this two weeks the field worker visited the home from which the child came and learned of its hereclty, home conditions and the causes that, produced the delinquency.

Meantime the hospital nurse a line on the case which Is then placed In the proper dormitory. SCHOOL IS HOME-LIKE Superintendent Wilson stated that- all classes are not thrown together indts-crlmlnatingly beeause each case presents a different problem and the whole scheme of the school is Individualization. The dormitories are made as home-like as possible and the food is the same as that served on the super. Intendent's table. "Every boy is given a said Mr.

Wilson, "where his clothes and personal belongings are kept. The beys do their own housework and make their own beds. We have an exceptional chance to teach farming. We have a herd of Ayrshires second to none in the State and we are having boys go into agriculture and give them an Impetus." The speaker said the school had 110 acres of plowed crops, exclusive of pasture and other lands and that practlcal- i asked about methods of punishment, and said he believed in corporeal punish- ment where It seemed to be indicated. Restricted diet as a punishment was not used, he said, except to withdraw the dessert occasionally.
