  • Intelligence Testing at Whittier School, 1890–1920
    Intelligence Testing at Whittier School, 1890–1920 MIROSLAVA CHÁVEZ-GARCÍA The author is a member of the Chicana/o Studies Program at the University of Cali- fornia, Davis. This article examines the intersections of youth, race, and science in early twentieth- century California. It explores how scientifi c researchers, reform school administra- tors, and social reformers at Whittier State School advocated the use of intelligence tests to determine the causes of delinquency. Through the process of testing, they iden- tifi ed a disproportionate number of delinquent boys of color—Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and African Americans—as mentally defi cient or “feebleminded.” As the evidence reveals, intelligence, race, heredity, and criminality became inextricably linked as the basis for segregating and removing youth of color from the reformatory. The records indicate that, despite offi cials’ recommendations to send feebleminded boys to state hospitals that routinely sterilized their wards, as allowed by a 1909 state law, they sent the majority of youth to the Preston School of Industry, a reform school for older boys. In this instance, expediency in creating a premier institution at Whit- tier State School took precedence over larger eugenicists designs. In 1920 Johnny García, a twelve-year-old Mexican Ameri- can from Los Angeles, received a battery of intelligence tests at Whittier State School, California’s leading reform school for boys.1 I would like to thank Kevin R. Johnson, Sunaima Maira, Judith Raftery, Vicki Ruiz, Steven L. Schlossman, Alexandra Stern, and the anonymous referees for the Pa- cifi c Historical Review for their comments on this article. My research assistants, Niqui Windberg and Lydia Werner, deserve special thanks as well.

    December 4, 2017 The Hon. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Secretary United States Department of Commerce 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20230 Re: Uncoated Groundwood Paper from Canada, Inv. Nos. C–122–862 and A-122-861 Dear Secretary Ross: On behalf of the thousands of employees working at the more than 1,100 newspapers that we publish in cities and towns across the United States, we urge you to heavily scrutinize the antidumping and countervailing duty petitions filed by North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC) regarding uncoated groundwood paper from Canada, the paper used in newspaper production. We believe that these cases do not warrant the imposition of duties, which would have a very severe impact on our industry and many communities across the United States. NORPAC’s petitions are based on incorrect assessments of a changing market, and appear to be driven by the short-term investment strategies of the company’s hedge fund owners. The stated objectives of the petitions are flatly inconsistent with the views of the broader paper industry in the United States. The print newspaper industry has experienced an unprecedented decline for more than a decade as readers switch to digital media. Print subscriptions have declined more than 30 percent in the last ten years. Although newspapers have successfully increased digital readership, online advertising has proven to be much less lucrative than print advertising. As a result, newspapers have struggled to replace print revenue with online revenue, and print advertising continues to be the primary revenue source for local journalism. If Canadian imports of uncoated groundwood paper are subject to duties, prices in the whole newsprint market will be shocked and our supply chains will suffer.
