I BY THOMAS R. HENRY. |in the molding of child personalities, | Harold D. Fife, principal of the Gales | Special school, has found in his studies fnr the children problem in the D. C. | school system. | The case of James carried him far into the depths of psychic life. " James is the oldest of ten children. He lives on the outskirts of th® Dis @ | trict, about 6 miles from the Gales | School. @ | "His mother has a Ph. D. degree from one of the great Eastern universities. @ | She speaks fluently six languages. She is a woman of charming personality and selflessly devoted to her children. His father is a watchman—a power- ful, domineering, ungracious person- lity. Hs is a product of the hard school of the sea and the docks, the school of fist, club and knotted rope. He believes a father should be the boss in his own home and has no usg for any new-fangled notions of raising children. If they don't behave, he - holds, the only thing to do is to beat @ it out of them. ™ | Father Beat Him. ! When James got in trouble wth his cachers the father knew how to [] handle the c He beat him within n inch of his life. He repeated the | treatment again and again. The child’s @ |back was covered with livid scars. Instead of reforming he got worse. He became incorrigible, the teachers said He was sent to the Gales Special School. Here among strange children he was a still stranger child. Fife could find no point of contact. The boy took no interest in anything. He would sit in a corner by himself all day long, refusing to join in the classwork or games of the other boys. He insisted he had done nothing to be sent there. When the teacher tried to pat him on the back he ducked. “I ain't done nothing to be hit for,” he_said. It looked like an incipient case of dementia praecox. The child had three mental breakdowns in the schoolroom— Fife called them “mental breakdowns” the District of Columbia Phblic School s The home is an extremely vital factor 7 Tin ROOFS Shs 7 ¢ Leaking roofs. gutters and spouts are very expensive to the property owner unless they are taken care of right away by a well experienced man.

He couldn’t be convinced he wasn't Napoleon. Once he galloped across the floor on a broomstick for a horse, flourishing a stick for a sword. “Forward, my brave men!” he cried. When the teacher and some of the other pupils grabbed him he fought desperately. He seemed to have an abnormal strength, Never Be Sent to Elba. “T'll never be taken alive,” he cried. | “I'll never be sent to Elba.” Generally he was Napoleon at Elba or St. Helena, not Napoleon the con- queror. These hallucinations were short- lived." After the broomstick incident he came to Fife's desk. “I don't know what happened, My head was gone,” he said. A child with such hallucinations nat- urally is sent to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist was puzzled over James and didn’t make definite recommenda- tions. Most of the time the boy seemed normal, although far too muci given to day-dreaming. He was a worshiper of idols. He lived the lives of his idols, rather than his own life. The father’s lashings had driven the poor child out of the real world into this dream world. Yet Fife found, curiously enough, that he couldn't make a contact through the boy’s idols. He resisted condition- ing on the Napoleon complex. It was impossible to graft upon this an in- terest in school history, for example. Now it was observed that James never ate lunch with the other boys at the school. During lunch time he always disappeared up the street. He told the other boys he went to get a hot lunch —that he didn’t have to eat cold lunches like them. Given No Lunch Money. Finally the facts came out. was eating no lunches at all, He was given none to carry to school. He had no money to buy any. He was not even given car fare. Every morning he walked the 6 miles from his home to the school and every evening walked back—very likely to another beating. ‘When Fife charged the boy with not eating any lunches he denied it indig- nantly. He wasn't poor trash that couldn’t afford to eat what they wanted, he said. He went to a restaurant and was waited on. up with cold stuff like these Greek and Dago boys. He came from a home of wealth and luxury. ‘The teacher didn't try to argue him out of this story. Instead he told some of the other boys about it, in confi- dence. He asked them to save some of their lunches each day and offer them to James, telling him that they had eaten all they wanted or arousing his curiosity about Greek or Italian food. These boys, good lads at heart even if they were thieves, gun-toters and knife-throwers, were moved by the story and carried out their part of the deception. James merely flew into a rage when the food was offered him. Did they think he would eat such miserable stuff? he asked. Hadn't he just dined James | 'on_hot roast chicken? ‘They tried to give him car fare, They tried to provide him with an oppor- tunity to earn money. He only flew into ungovernable rages. He retreated further and further from the personality of James into the per- sonality of Napoleon. Great Personal Pride. Here was a beautiful case of an in- | feriority complex in a child of enor- mous personal pride. His strange be- havior was a compensation for the pride whkich was killing him. ‘There may have been some other ele- ment involved, but it was not found. He had an abnormally acute sensitivity to pity or patronage—to any suggestion that he couldn’t stand on his own feet. One way to show his superiority was by being bad. Attempted sympathy he in- terpreted as pity and acted accord- ingly. . After a few visits to the home Fife | became convinced that nothing could be accomplished without a change of environment—yet, strange to say, he found that the mother, when she was herself, was an almost ideal person to ave charge of James. The change of environmen® must be a change of en- vironment inside the child’s own home with its strangely mated couple—the cultured, gentle mother and the crude, bullying father. The trick was turned by Lieut. Mina Van Winkle of the Woman's Bureau The father had to be locked up for a time before he was willing to admit that what children needed was lashing and then more lashing—and that any IN A HURRY High grade, but not hich priced. 512 1th St. N.W. ¢ when the roof goes wrong pecialty.
