THE FEEBLE-MINDED
By E. M. GREEN, M. D„ Milledgeville,

T IIB condition of the feeble-minded
in this state Is a subject to which
few of our cltlsens give much
thought. These unfortunates are
m . ii every day by all of us, but are passed
11v with (iidiffereuce, or with scant sympa
thy. How to arouse any public interest In
their condition is rather a puxxllng ques-
non. Certainly the newspaper* are not the
media through which this subject should he
i»» iur uiniiuii nm ii-iic* OI me
htiife would not be participated In by mauy,
niid would accomplish little.
I fed that the only suitable assembly be
fore which a paper on this subject should
!"■ rend Is the State Sociological Society,
imd I hope that some Interest may he
moused In this defective class, and that
this Interest may grow as we give the mat
ter more thought, until It results In some
stops being taken to better their condition.
Hr. Burgess, president of the American
Medico-Psychological Association, In on ad
dress before that body in April, 1906, says:
The care, trainlug and education of the
mentally defective Is an accepted public
duty, and should be undertaken nt public
cost: at least, to the extent of providing
the necessary Institutions and schools for
their care and training. Surely it Is Just
ns essential to educate she Imbecile ns it
Is to educate the deaf-mute or the blind.
To allow him to grow up without education
or habit training Is simply to allow him
to degenerate Into a repulsive helpless crea
ture, often so brutal In hla propensities
that for the protection of the public he has
after birth, from
ly approaches the normal to the lowest
lorms of Idiocy In which the Individual Is
unable to speak, to walk, to feed himself
or to perform any ccnsclous action. We
designate the former class aa imbeciles, the

The low grado Imbecile can be taught some
thing.

I'. Fcrnald for the historical data which
follows.
Interesting Data.
In America the first attempt to educate
feeble-minded children was made In the
year 1818 when several children were'ad
mitted to thu American Asylum for the
I leaf and Dumb, at Hartford, Conn. The
result of their Instruction was encourag
ing. and from that time until the year
1818 a few such children were admitted to
several of the schools for the deaf-mute and
tin* blind.
In May, 1848, the Massachusetts legisla
ture appropriated $2,600 for an experimental
school providing that ten pauper tdlota
tthould be selected from different parts of
the state for Instruction. At the end of
three years, so successful bod been this
rhool that the legislature doubled the ap-
. . orated the experl-
permanent one.
... , _Jter the Massa
chusetts school had been established. New
York appropriated funds for an experi
mental school for the feeble-minded. In
Kd. at Syracuse, N. Y., the first building
expressly for the Instruction of the feeble-
’ * erected.
W58, and Kentucky In 1860, were tho next
states to take un this work, though sev-
cnil private schools had been establlahed be
fore this time. It should be noted that
the first schools were begun as experi
ments. but that In no Instance has one
been abandoned, and In a few years each
one of them was reorganised, becoming a
permanent school. • Wherever these schools
are situated they are prosperous and doing
a work which Is appreciated by all familiar
with them. While In the beginning all
these schools were purely educational, they
have developed gradually as knowledge of
their pupils* capabilities and limitations
has been gained until nt present no state
school for tho feebleminded would be sat
isfied with this feature alone. The modern
Institutions accomplish far more for their
pupils than the most sanguine believers In
the earlier schools even hoped for.
Thousands in Gtorgia.
Ten years ago It was staled that there
were In Georgia 6.000 Imbecile Individuals.
If this was correct nt that time tho num
ber must be much larirer nt present, ns
the Imbecile Is abnormally prolific, nor eon
we expect the children of such parents to
be endowed with any high degree of mental
development. Kven the estlmnted number
must rail below the actual, aa many parents
refuse to acknowledge or to believe that
their children are feeble-minded, though,
perhaps, they realise the fact that they are
backward and alow to learn, or vicious and
without natural moral feelings.
In the United States, we find that there
Is one feeble-minded Individual to every 600
«*f population, though the ratio varies In
different localities. A large percentage of
the criminal class of our population, the
tramp, the thief, the prostitute, the drunk
nrd. is feeble-minded, and this is coming
to be recognised more generally aa these
Individuals are studied carefully.
In considering what should be done for
the feeble-minded, we find that we owe
a duty to the normal individual as well.
The latter should be protected from the
Irresponsible acts of the former; they
should be guarded from too close associa
tion with them, and should be relieved from
tho burden of their maintenance ao far as
may lx* practicable. Also our fluty to so-
• lety renders It Imperative that every
measure be taken advantage of which may
lessen the numl>«r of these unfortunate per
son*. As a matter of public economy, some
provision should be made for the feeble
minded. They form no Inconsiderable por
tion of our population, snd roust be cared
for, whether we are witling to do so or
not. The Jails, the poor houses and tb»
Insane asylums accommodate many of thesi
people, occupying quarters not suited to
them, and crowding out those for whom
these places were originally Intended.
It Is Impossible to estimate even approxi
mately the amount of money the state ex-
pend* yearly in maintaining certain classes
of the feeble-minded. In conducting costly
trials of those who have committed Infrac
tions of the law, and In supporting the fam
ilies of others whom the burden of attempt
ing to rare for the afflicted member has
pauperised.
Products of Heredity.
Congenitally feeble-minded offspring re
sult from the marriage of the feeble-mind
ed. the habitual drunkard, the epileptic,
the Insane, and the victims of other forma
of disease, and suitable laws might be en
acted which would limit In some degree
such unions.
Much can be done to reduce the blrtb
rate of the mentally defective. In provid
ing properly for those now with us, placing
them permanently in an Institution where
they can assume no marriage relations we
prevent at least that part of them from
transmitting their own unfortunate defects.
As mentioned above, the feeble-minded are
very prolific, small families are unusual,
and aa a rule the children of such parents
are of a lower grade of Intelligence. The
feeble-minded should be separated from
normal Individuals, forming a society of
their own, where they can be protected
from the unscrupulous snd thoughtless, snd
from the consequences of their own Irre
sponsible actions, whero they can be devel
oped ph/-'— *
where tn<
ful lives.
If all these defectives could In their
early childhood be placed In proper sur
roundings where they could be controlled,
some would be able to leave the place of
detention able to make a living for them-
Jtress should not be
laid on the probability of these patients be
ing able to leave the Institution, for In the
great majority of Instances this Is not de
sirable. When thrown on their own re
sources their Instability will become ap
parent, they cannot succeed in competition
with Individuals of normal mental capacity,
but must constantly stand In need of su
pervision and direction. Again, when left
honest means, and to drift Into 1
nal class.
Feeble-Minded Women.
The feeble-minded women especially
need our protection, as In all feeble-minded
their moral and ethical feelings are rudi
mentary, and their lower Instincts are In
the asc *
become
tngo of _ .
or If they are legally married to become
mothers of large families of mentally de
fective children. For the good of the fee-
hle-mlnded themselves, for that of their
families to whom one such member Is sn
expense and care which they aro unable to
bear, and ns a matter of public economy,
It Is Imperative that something should l>e
done to better the condition or these Indi
viduals.
The problem of what to do for them has
been solved satisfactorily by many states,
and this solution should be taken advantage
of by every state In the Union, as only by
such general adoption can the greatest
amount of good be attained.
The careful study of the feeble-minded
for more than half a century proves that
the l»est results are secured by the estab
lishment of an Institution for them, a place
of permanent residence for most of them,
where they can be developed mentally,
morally and physically; be subject to strict
discipline, where they ran enjoy t*
dety of thoso similarly defective, __ _
reasonable amount pf such work as they
are fitted for, and have- every pleasure
which can be allowed them. Under these
circumstances they live peaceful, contented
lives, and enjoy a greater amount of happi
ness than they could attain In any other
manner.
-Such i-._ ,
equipped would be quli
lng. laundry work and housework. They
could assist lu the kitchens, the dining
rooms, snd the dairy; could look after the
poultry yards, attend to the flower gardens,
and could care for those more feeble-minded
than themselves.
Ths custodial department should be mala
talned to care for the idiots who could be
taught no occupation, nud for those de
formed, helpless, crippled and paralysed,
who need constant attention nud Intelli
gent nursing. With patience, the majority
of even this class could be taught some
thing, though It were only to care for their
persons, dress and feed themselves.
Right Sort of Location.
The location of an Institution for the fee
ble-mlnded should be near a city, so that
the markets could be taken advautage of,
railroad should be close to the grounds for
convenience In receiving and shipping arti
cles bought and sold, while an abundant
supply of good water Is Indispensable.
The land belonging to the Institution
should comprise several hundred acres, the
larger the better; as many Industries should
be conducted.
There should/ be many comparatively
small buildings, rather than one or two
large ones, these buildings being In groups
corresponding to the departments. In the
smaller buildings fewer pupils would be
thrown together, and they should be pre
sided over by a man and his wife. The
home feature should be developed, and a
kind and Intelllgeut Interest taken In each
pupil. There would necessarily develop
some feeling of rivalry between these su ;
pervlsors, and between the pupils with
them, each household seeking to be known
as the best governed and the best be
haved.
A modest beginning could he made—e
few buildings erected, and others added
as they were required, but the farm and
garden should be large enough to give cm-
* ivment to several hundred ineu and l>oys.
Along with the school and home building*,
others should be erected to be used ns
shops where the different trades would be
taught. There should also l»e n small hos
pital conveniently located to which every
cane of sickness should be sent.
A large number of Inmates Is no draw-
tack to these Institutions. On the contrary.
It Is an advantage na many feeble-minded
Individuals will be required from which to
select the number necessary to do the
work profitably.
Only last year the Kentucky School for
the Feeble-Minded was enlarged to accom
modate 1,100 pupils, where formerly only
about 300 were received. That the expense
talu it, now about $100 Is sufficient.
How MoLean Foil.
The report of the superintendent of the
Georgia State Sanitarium for the year 190f
•hows that there are In the Institution nine
ty-flve Idiots. This statement Is ealeu
Ined to leave a wrong Impression on those
not familiar with the facts, for, while
this number Includes ninny cases of the
lowest grade of feehlc-uiindedness. It by no
means Includes all the linbedlo Inmates.
The unuiber of feeble-minded of all grades
must run well up Into the hundreds. There
ate sixty feeble-minded children under the
age of sixteen In the various wards of the
sanitarium at present. These children are
held In unsuitable surroundings, with no
hope of any Improvement In tnelr condi
tion; In constant association with' the de
praved and the degraded, they must dally
grow more like them. Mauy of them are
bright and Interesting, while others are
stupid and unattractive, hut most of them
are capable oY receiving some education and
‘ ' fht som© employment. Under
lions they are fed and clothed
iqie, many or mem are vinous, nail uiiii-h
some change Is soon made, they will be
a burden on the state as long ns they live.
It Is already too lute to benefit the ma
jority of those now in the sanitarium,
though their environment could he more
cheerful and healthful, and tbelr lives
could be made happier In many ways.
Every year Increases the number of r
cases sent to the Institution, ns well
the number maintained Jn poor houses
and confined In jnlls. The day must come
when these defective Individuals will lie
provided for suitably, but each day of
delay decreases the hope of Improvement
tr those now with us.
More than twenty of the states have
institutions for the feeble-minded, and these
are not only schools but homes where the
Inmates llva happily, engaged In useful oc
cupations. self-respecting and enjoying the
meet of others.

BEWARE OF HIGH LICENSE.
If anybody tries to make you believe
"high license" Is a "temperance" measure,
a good thing for the people, rend him the
following by the 'Wine and 8pir!t News
of Ohio:
"While we do not now and never did np-

and probably will remain so. At the same
time there never was a law enacted that

to It, so It Is possible that It tuny have

that an Immense revenue will accrue to the
state In the beginning, and thfif matter of
expense Is nfter all the only thing which
stands lu the wny of establishing such In

beyond the stage of experiment. The ex

Matter of Education.
Educational In so far ns those who could
receive Instruction would be taught the
elementary branches of learning, while
their ethical and moral faculties would ta

should be especially adapted to the pupils,
for from orulnnry schools they receive lit

the feeble-minded, and could be secured

gained by entrusting the edueutlonnl de

The Industrial department would probably

the existence of the Institution, and to this
we look for the greatest benefit to 4he In
