The training school at Vineland IS
the only institution In America tnat
is scientifically and systematicaiiy
studying the problem of checking the
increase of feeble-mindedness. EiaD'
crate experiments are constantly De-
ing conducted there with view to pet
tering the condition of the inmates
who number approximately 400. A
few years ago it was discovered tnat
the cretin type lacked the thyroid
gland. and that feeding them the thy
roid gland of sheep produced dis
ttnct Improvement. It is now be-
lieved. in fact, it has been demon
strated in many institutions. that II

greatly increased.

ing fed with pituitary glands and otn-
ers with mixtures of the pituitary and
thyroid glands in the hope that 1t Will
improve their physical and mental con-
ditions. These glands. which are 3D.
tanned from sheep and other ANIMALS
are fed to the children three times a
day in tablet form. The experiment
has been under way for about three
months. but at least year must
elapse before any definite conclusions
can be reached as to it's value. Inc
experiment is being made on the Ine-
ory that some chemical element Is
missing from these children. and tlat
to correct their condition it is neces-
sary to find out what this is. THESE
studies are directed by DR.. w. S. Cor
nell. who is in charge of the medical
research.
Another selected group of 20 feeble
minded children of different grades
are being fed with the pineal gland
also in the form Of capsules. Their
condition is being compared with that
of 20 children of the same grade who
are not being given the gland. Very
little is known of the uses OF these
ductless glands, but the discovery that
feeding the thyroid gland to the Gre
tin type improves their condition mas
led several investigators to believe
that the feeding of pituitary and
pineal glands may have similar effects.
The pituitary gland is situated near
the base of the nose. When it Is dis
eased it causes a disease commonly
known as giantism. The pineal gland

above the third verticle of the brain.
OF course, these experiments may re-
suit in nothing. but SO far the results

part of tie seventeenth century, were
criminals. feeble-minded persons or
degenerates. This family being stud
led by Prof Goddard shows an
even higher percentage of feeble-mind-

family, gathered by seven trained in
vestigators who have been constantly
in the field. Another year will elapse

of the family is traced and the work

must be examined carefully by physi-

feeble-mindedness and so accurate
are these tests that every feeble
minded child can be detected with
absolute certainty. Ii morally suitable
these backward children can be kept
in school and live at their homes until
the age of puberty. If they are not
morally suitable they should be sent
to training schools for the feeble-mind-
ed. There they should be unsexed
Thirty to fifty per cent. can be made
entirely self-supporting after ten
years training. When they grow up
they can be placed in homes and
farms for .feeble-minded adults. The
men can work in shops and on the
farms. The women can sew and work
in the orchards. Many Of them can
be permitted to return to their own
homes The greatest danger today is
that feeble-minded persons when they
are allowed to return to their homes
bring more feeble-minded people into
the world. But unsexing them will re-
move this danger and within a few
decades the community will have to
deal only with the occasional feeble
minded child who Is born to normal
parents.
We are not ready to adopt the old
Spartan custom of putting to death
the feeble-minded and the physically
unfit. although there are some per-
sons who believe this should be done.
