Among bad external influences as yet unmeasured is maladjustment to school among those of passable ability. We have given some evidence as to this which we found among a group of delinquent boys at a county farm school, when their test records were compared with their positions in school. As a possible serious source of delinquency, bad adjustment to school work should be studied further, since it is a matter that could be easily corrected by the assistance of special teachers. With the earlier discovery of deficient children by means of mental tests, it should also be possible more definitely to direct the training so as to build up resistance to worldly temptations. How much could be done in this direction we cannot yet say. We have undoubtedly wasted much effort in the past in trying to create intellectual capacity in those who are innately deficient in intellect. Fortunately we are now directing our attention to training them to acquire passable ability in simple occupations, or to adjust themselves to the life of a colony. In the education of the mentally weak the most promising field is undoubtedly with the conative cases with passable intellects. At Templin, outside of Berlin, there has been established the first home school devoted entirely to the training of such unstable and inert boys. This specialized institution for conative cases, which was founded by a philanthropic society at the suggestion of Prof. Thiedor Ziehen, marks a most important advance step in the problem of training the mentally deficient. The results of specific training for the social adjustment of the intellectually and of the volitionally deficient will be awaited with great interest.
