Education: Teaching Teachers
In Chicago last April sex-curious George Rogalski, 14, lured Dorette Zietlow, 2½, into an abandoned icehouse, stripped her and left her there to die. Chicago's Superintendent of Schools William J. Bogan promptly announced that he was going to have the dark little minds of all Chicago's "problem children'' plumbed by psychoanalysis (TIME, April 23). By last week he was not far along with his plan. "The big difficulty," explained Dr. Daniel P. MacMillan, director of child study and guidance, "is educating the principals to pick out defective cases."
Last week a Chicago jury did something about George Rogalski. After an hour's deliberation it found him guilty of kidnapping, fixed his punishment at ten years imprisonment.
