Squire, chief physician at Sing Slug. The opinion was expressed paper read several months ago befone.

the Society of Medical Jurisprudence, but just made available generally through publication in The'Medical Times. "I am impressed more and more every day by the fact that the treat ment of the criminal is a medical one and that the only hope of success lies in careful, and systematic study of each Individual case, aftd not bv haphazard, slipshod examination." Dr. Squire said in discussing the "Physical a Mental Makeup of Criminals." "It has been our custom for apme time past to make a careful of every Inmate upon admission, and wherever we find an inmate suffering from any physical disability which may be corrected toy surgical interference the condition Is corrected at the earliest possible moment." Speaking generally, Dr. Squire does not believe there is such a thing as a "criminal type," either physical or mental. He Is "satisfied that the mental condition the men in Sing Sing compares favorably with that of men outside of prisons who occupy like positions." The average mental age of men examined b.y draft boards during the war--13 years and 6 months--Is identical with the average intelligence of white men in Sing Sing.

Under present methods, however, Dr. Squire believes It be impossible for a Judge to make an examination, usual conditions, which will establish the past mental rscord of the men who come before him. Frequently men sent to Sing 1 Sing" have to be transferred almost at once to the Daiinemora State hospital, he points Psychiatrists Needed. He continues; "In view of the fa'ct so many men, in fact, four out of the six men w3io were transferred to Dannemora during the last six were undoubtedly insane when they committed their crimes, there'is conclusive proof to that there should be attached to every criminal court during its sessions a psychiatrist, particularly one who is familiar with criminal psychiatry, to see that those are suffering frc-m mental upsets are sent, for instance, to the Matteawan hospital fo treatment and not to Sing Stng for punishment." "I have come to the conclusion that one way to lessen crime in the future Is to pay a little more atten-' tion to our own I am ref mindej of an experience i In New York a few "-ago. I was invited to take luncheon.at the Ritz- Carleton with wealthy man and his wife who expressed a desire to do men In prison, and I was aske.d to offer sugges: i "our conversation their who had been away all fall at boarding, school, buoyantly, approached her mother and asked a question.

The mother referred her to a governess, and the child, her feelings wounded, went away. Another child app'roached the mother a few moments'later and the same experience was repeated. At the conclusion of the luncheon the mother, commenting on my association with the men, asked me In what way could help them. I replied that there are hundreds, of men In prison because their parents were not interested In them, and advised devote some attention- to her two lovely children 1 and leave the matter of assistance to the convicts to those who had not such Would Deport Alien Criminals. "It has been suggested that another way is to teach honesty in our schools.

I believe we can- lessen crime it we deport the alien criminals who constitute per cent, of our prison population. Why should they not be deported after they finish their term in prison? The immigration law says that a man after being here flve years cannot be deported even if he commits a crime. As a matter of fact, if a man commits a crime after being held ten years he should be punished more than the one whr had been here for five years. The has enjoyed our hospitality, the more he should appreciate the laws of our country. We have 11,000 alien insane in New York State hospitals whom we are supporting.

If all alien criminals were deported aliens toould think twice before committ a crime. 'We could certainly lessen crime by preventing criminals coming i country by examining all immigrants at the port of debarkation and refusing to neceivt those without a clean bill of "Crime is the province of young men," Judge Burt Jay Humphrey Queens, said in a paper on "Crime and Type of Mind in the read before the same meeting. traced the career of the youthfu criminal, from stealing metal anc other material for sale to junk men to final major activities when becomes a trade and getting awa with the goods ibecomes a 1 said he believed the suspended sentence had accomplished much.
