in scope to that of Indiana. In many
minds however. such law is unconsti-

a son of one of the most prominent lam
lilies In New Jersey had relations with an
unknown feeble-minded woman. After
class, and as result OF this marriage
had descendants who are numbered
among the statesmen. judges and other
prominent men of the state. But he had
even greater number of descendants as
a result of his illegitimate connection
with the feeble-minded woman, and these
descendants form a long line of degen-
eracy ending in the jails. almshouses. re-
forma tories and other institutions. The
girl who suggested this genealogical re
search is now in the Nineland Training
School. She is Legitimate and aims

Years old and mentally about nine.
The students OF the numerous condi-
tons arising from the number of feeble
minded persons in every state begin
ming to agree that the most practical and
ton of the feeble minded is by segrega-
ton. This has been thoroughly demon
strated in the treatment Of the insane
Thirty years ago the segregation of the
insane seemed a hopeless undertaking,
but I'm twenty-three years, from 1880 to
Increased fourfold. What has been done
for the insane can be done for the feeble

Steps Necessary
to Save the Race.

of child bearing age. The care OF the
feeble-nainded girl is much more essential
thar that of the feeble-minded boy DIR.
II. Goddard of New Jersey recently said,
regarding this matter: The feeble-mind-
ed woman is more dangerous to the COM
munity than the feeble-minded man. be-
cause she is more likely to find mate
than he is-possibly in the light Of our
present statistics in the neighbOrhood of
three times as likely"
There are about 6OOOO feeble-minded
women in this country, only about 13,oOO
OF whom are now under institutional care.
1t is beginning 10 be accepted that one
OF the most important features of the
campaign for lessening the number of
mental detectives would be to lessen the
number of defective children born into
the world by placing defective women of
collaborating age I'm special institutions.
Institutions for the feeble minded should
cease to receive girls under twelve years
old and boys of any age until after every
feeble-rninded girl OF child bearing age Is
provided for in each state. The feeble
minded girl is but chlld-as innocent,
helpless and childlike as her normal sis
ter Of half her age. Yet she is left with
out protection to oe ruthlessly pursued
by evil-minded men.
The result of permitting feeble-minded
women to run 1T large is shown in a re-
port by Miss Elizabeth Kite a social
worker who Investigated Il degenerate
colony ~ burlington county. \. j. One
