and other marks of insanity, or
mental arrangement, rather than of
idiocy. Such cases cannot be prop
erly treated by the family physician
at home, and should, therefore, be
removed to some institution where
they can receive that treatment and
training best adapted to their res
toration.
ADMISSION OF PUPILS, &C.
Children between the ages of six
and fifteen, who r idiotic, or so
peculiar or deficient in intellect as
to be incapable Of being educated
at any ordinary school, may be adj
mitted by the Superintendent with
the advice and counsel of the EX-
ecutive Committee. Applications
in behalf Of others shall be referred
to the action of the Board Of
Trustees.
The parents, or next friends of
those in whose behalf applications
are made for admission as pupils,
are expected to make answers in
writing to such questions as the
Superintendent may prescribe.
The law provides that parents,
guardians, &C., "shall, if of sufli-
cient ability, engage to pay such
reasonable sum for the education
and support of pupils, and furnish
them with such proper clothing
while in this Institution as shall be
stipulated by the Superintendent (;
and they shall, in all cases, be
bound to receive them back when
required, free Of expense to the In
stitution.
AS provided by the law, the di-
rectors Of county and city inirma-
lies, or the township trustees in
any county where there is no coun-
ty intirmary, may remove to said
asylum, any idiotic and imbecile
youth who may be properly admit
ted therein and in such cases, said
directors or township trustees shall
support said youth at said asylum
from any funds under their control
applicable to the support Of such
intirmaries or township poor
The State beneticlaries will be
selected in equal numbers, as far as
may be, from each judicial district:
Provided, that no youth shall be
admitted as a State beneficiary as
aforesaid, unless the probate judge
of the county where said youth
shall reside, shall certify that he or
she is in INDECENT circumstances,
and has resided in the State at
least one year previous to such ap-
plications."
All pupils will be expected to
come provided with a supply of
neat and substantial clothing, ade-
ouate for the first six months. A
bond will be required, in all cases,
to insure the clothing and removal
of the pupil, when required by the
Superintendent, free Of expense to
the Institution.
