Supreme Court’s New Home (Continued From First Page) as is shown by a memorial tablet. On this same site during the Civil War the building was occupied as a prison, and s0 it is sometimes called “The Old Cap- tol Prison.” It was originally built in 1800 as a tavern. Has Admiration of AlL The Supreme Court has never had anything like the space it needed for proper conduct of its duties and be- fitting its importance. It represents one-third of the Government, ba ancing and harmonizing all of its parts, a tribunal which has received the gen- eral approval and admiration of foreign jurists and statesmen and which com- mands the respect and confidence of the more than 130,000,000 people for whom it administers justice This tribunal was created under the Constitution framed by the Federal Convention of 1787, composed mostly of the legal profession, but with Wash- ington, the soldier, presiding, and nklin, the philosopher, advising at very step. Tt was to “establish justice” for the people of the United States under the | new venture in self-government that the | Federal judiciary, with the Supreme | Court as its head, was created. It forms the balance wheel by which the affairs of the Nation, and its relation to the States, are kept in working or- der, and is itself held in check by the power of the President to appoint its members as vacancies may occur, also | by the power of Congress to impeach regulate the m s appellate jurisdiction and | 1o increase or diminish its mmé?ors‘ e permanent stability of the judicia ;f}:‘ eF 45 assured by its being imbedded in the Constitution, with a jurisdic- e " | committee room, tion co-ordinate w ecutive and legislative departments. During the 140 vears of its existence the Supreme Court has sat in seven different places—first, in New York; ~~ |second, in Independence Hall, Philadel- phia; third, in the basement of the Capitol, where it was when the British burned the Capitol in 1814; fourth, while the Capitol was being rebuilt the Supreme Court occupied the magnifi- cent residence of the clerk of the court; fifth, when the Capitol wings wer. built it came into its present chamber, which was previously the Senate chamber; sixth, when driven out by an explosion and fire in 1898 it occupied the com- mittee room of Senator McMillan, which is now the District of Columbia and seventh, for a brief period also sat in the judiciary committee room, according to the rec- ords of the clerk of the court. Accommodations Inadequate. While for quiet and harmonious beauty the present Supreme Court room is one of the most attractive in the magnificent Capitol Building, the court accommodations have never been ade- quate. This chamber was designed by Latrobe, after the model of a Greek theater, a semi-circular hall with a low- domed ceiling. It is historically sacred ground. Here Webster answered Hayne. Here Benton and John Randolph made their great speeches. On the left side of the Senate chamber stood Calhoun in many a contest with Clay and Web- ster on the right. The Supreme Court room has been made further memorable as being the place in which, in 1877, sat the electoral commission which decided the presi- dential contest as to whether Hayes of the Republican party .or Tilden of the Democratic party should be the execu- tive of this great Nation for a period of four years. This tribunai and the wise and sel and his party saved the country from a bloody civil war. This Supreme Court room will be preserved as a trophy room of the Capi- tol when the Supreme Court has justly come into its own new building. Pmblem‘ of Bad Boys Studied And Partiall (Continued From First Page.) of his own on a boy who came to him with a very low 1. Q—and a moral record that was lower still. The teacher is interested in me- chanics and likes to fool with watches. He never has been able, however, to iake a watch apart and put it together again without marking the pieces. This boy, from a very poor home, knew nothing about the insides of watches. Fife brought him an old watch and told him to take it apart and put it to- gether again. “youwd better mark the pieces or you'll never get them back in the right | Place,” he said. What do I want to mark ‘em for? There's only one place for each piece to go, ain’t there?” said the boy. s He took the watch apart and put it together so that it ran perfectly. He seemed to sense the relations between parts. Yet the boy was a dunce, officially. Personality Split. The personality split in childhood is #harp. There is little mixing of good qual- ities and bad. The bad boy of the type Fife gets usually appears almost all bad. 1f there had been much apparent good, the regular teachers would not have given the boy Jip as hopeless. The angel in the boy is left to wan- der, a fleshless ghost, in the darkness of the subconscious. ; Yet, Fife holds from observation, the bond never is completely severed. There is a bridge—it may be hard to find it— which the waters of hate have not washed away. There is a similar phenomenon which | has been observed in_ the adolescent| period, the results of which are exactly opposite. This is the phenomenon o conversion, when a normally bad boy, under the influence of intense religious emotions, has a personality split and shows to the world a personality which appears all good, for & time. The end effects of this split sometimes are as devastating as those of the opposite type. Develops a Technique. Fife has been developing a technique for cealing with the bad type of dual personality which requires two qualities —infinite patience and the ability to sense quickly when one has probed the controlling complex, whether it be one of inferiority or a sexual complex of some sort which usually can be found only by a trained psychiatrist. It may require months or years of observation before the mechanism of the personality split is recognized. ‘These boys, certainly, have not ana- Iyzed themselves. They don’t know why they are bad. They are nearly all proficient and shameless liars. They are almost sure to lie about the things. ‘which they fesl most vitally. They generally are immune to the pat on the shoulder, the fatherly ad- vice, the assurance of love and kind- ness, the stories of how good little boys got along in the world. They have words for that kind of stuffl which are not fit to print. Hunts Root of Trouble. Fife frequently must go into the homes to find the root of the trouble. That is not always an easy thing to do. If the home has conditions which auto- matically create a bad boy, it is likely 10 be a hard home to penetrate. The teacher doesn’t always find the trouble. He admits there is a good €eal he doesn’t know about this most complex of all subjects, the creation of personality. He is trying to learn more from actual experience and points to his few startling successes as evi- dence of the enormous opportunity of- fered by this field for those who know more than he does. re not always transformed Tedeemed. There is always the danger of giving a false impression of any work of this kind—of giving the public the impression that here is a cure-all for criminality. It is merely a pioneering effort which has struck gold in some places. Are Not Stigmatized. ‘The Gales special school consists of a single room with some desks, black- boards and carpenter tools. The boys are not segregated. They are ed. They merely are stud 3 sion of one of the regular elementary schools of the Di: trict. It is not a typical school. Th are not sent ther then sent back to regular classes. men 10 g v school careers. e them a year high school work Once th at least, of junior there. y enter that room I. Q. rec- ords are a thing of the past. They have a fresh start, away from ever: thing that has gone before. Many of them, especially the “hand- | minded” ones, enter the trades. Fife keeps in touch with employers through- out the city. Those who show aca- demic trends are send ahead into the high schools. Ii is no eight-hour job to deal with boys in this way. It is a 24-hour job. One must live their lives with them. Fife checked his own observations last Summer by a 14,000-mile trip through the United States, Mexico and | Canada interviewing boys in reforma- tories and pentitentiaries. He found hundreds of verifications of his observations of the inferiority complex and the determination to get even. to be reformed and | v remain there through their ele- | It is possible | Solved in D.

I liked getting even so much that I've been getting even ever since. Now they are going to get even with me.” This fits exactly into the observations of bad boys which Fife has made in Washington. Note—This is the first of a series of articles on the work of the schools in helping Washington’s bad boys to find themselves and take a useful part in affatrs. The next article will appear in The Evening Star to- WOMEN PLAN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN AFRICA Mrs. Rudyard Boulton and Mrs. Oscar Straus to Make Studies on Dark Continent. PITTSBURGH (#).—The fact that at least two American women will make scientific quests in Africa this Winter is revealed by an announce- ment from the Carnegie Museum here. Mrs. Rudyard Boulton of Pittsburgh is going to study the music of the blacks of Nyasaland. in an expedition led by her husband for the Carnegie Museum. This party starts in January with Mrs. Oscar Straus of New York, as part of her expedition to Africa for bird specimens for the American Museum of Natural History. After Mrs. Straus finishes, the Boul- tons will jead the Carnegie expedition into South Africa. Mr. Boulton will seek a representative collection of South African birds for the Carnegie Museum. Such collections are said at the f | museum to be rare in the United States. Among those sought are the secretary bird, bald ibis, sand grouse, ostriches, bustards and penguins. sacrificing patriotism of Tilden | THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
