tIemen, whose duty it is to pass upon

such as TO merit the patronage of all.

interest the public more than ever be-
cause Of the fact that Objectionable
features have been absolutely refused
admission to the grounds. and this

FeebIe-Minded Persons.

Amos W. Butler, vice president and
chairman of The American Association
for the Advancement of Science, In an
address delivered In Denver, In August,
1901, said
I'VE do not know how many feeble
minded persons there are In the U-ited
States. The census of 1890 gives 95 ,571
individuals of this kind. What the IL
crease since then has been we do not
know. Tue present census does not give
any figures on this point, therefore any
effort to ascertain the number can be but
an estimate. These Predetermined per-
sons are distributed throughout cur land,
not in the same proportion everywhere !;
in some places they are SO few or incon-
spicuous as scarcely to be recognized.
Elsewhere their presence is strikingly
manifest AID they make deep impress
sion upon society that must endure
through the succeeding generations.
The feeble minded are found under many
conditions. There are children and men
and women. The feeble minded are a
disturbing element. Their life is de-
generating social force.
Some of the children with stronger
They make come progress for time, but
whether they do or not they must soon
drop behind because they are unable to
keep up with the work. Others roam
the streets; the boys become the butt Of
the lneighborhood; they are led into
pranks, too often into vices, and seem to
possess peculiar tendency to immoral
| ity. The girls, many of them strong,
mi
them Alright, and without strength of
mind to protect themselves against the
temptations which surround them, too
early and too often fall into vice. Once
begun the pace is rapid, the course Is a.
ways the same. One perverted, feeble
minded woman can spread throughout II
community an immoral pestilence which
will affect the homes of all classes, even
the most intelligent and refined. The
sight of such conditions, or knowledge
of them, must have deadenng effect
upon the f er sensiblities of all. We
must call attention to the fact, shown by
Mr.. Buffers own figures, that the fee
blt minded man Is as great danger to
| society as the feeble. minded woman, and
in the same degree needs custodial care.
We cannot always trace the parentage
Of bis children, but they exist neyertbe-
less. Never did we appreciate 80 strongly
as we do today the untold misery sand
accommodating expense caused by the lack
of control of our feeble-minded popult-
ton. The problem presented to US Is
the manner in which these conditions
shall be met. Its solution lies in an IN
telligent and general knowledge of the
subject by the public, preventive meas
nres by legal marriage restrictions and
other means, the education of feeble
minded children and the custodial care
of Feeble minded women"
