persons of the state will probably be
recommended by the Legislative com
mittee which has been visiting and IN

BILE institutions during the last TWO
weeks. According to Attorney Gilmore
r. SIlver of Madison, member OF the
committee. that body has practically
decided to report bill TO the leglsla'
ture providing for the sterilization or
these unfortunates after q quallned
commission has decided that their
mental defects are incurable. Mr..
Elyer SAYS that the committee be
iieves that the superintendent OF the
two state asylums for the insane and
the home for the feeble-minded and a
large proportion of the medical pro
fession Of the state will approve the
proposition He says that the report
shows that there are about 5000
chronic insane and feeble-minded per
sons In Wisconsin. OF this number
over 5000 are chronic insane and the
remainder Predetermined The two
state hospitals for the insane at Men

cations for admission now on HE with

says that the records show that the
number of insane, feeble-minded and
degenerate persons in the state Is in
creasing at faster ratio than the
population of the state. The only way
10 arrest the increase of this class OF
unfortunatcs the committee believes,
il to sterili1e the incurablcs. The
welfare of society demands this. Mr.,
Elver says. The committee realizes,
il is said. that this proposition will
meet with strong opposition on the
part of many people, but 1t expects to
be able to convince the other mem
bers of the Legislature that II is best
for present and future generations.
Mr.. Elyer expects to write TO leading
alieniss, both in this and other coun-
tries. and ask for their opinion regard
