The DaWning of a New
Day for Feeble
Minded" Child

Here. then, is new definition,
and a most hopeful one, for what
we have been accustomed to call
"feeble-mindedness," meaning by
that essential and incurable
weakness of mind. The subject
assumes a different aspect when
we see that what we are dealing
with is not SO much weakness as
lack Of development.
1t is the dawning of a new day
for the 'sfeeble-ninded" child
when his parents and teachers
instead of pityingly pushing him
aside as. hopelessly incapable
begin to treat his mind as they
would treat his body in case the
latter showed signs of lack of
nourishment or of assimilativc
power Many a physically feeble,
stunted child has grown up, un-
der proper care, into strong,
healthful, energetic man. Isaac
Newton, when baby, was so
dwarfed and feeble that his pa
rents despaired of raising him.
His was a case in which the
mental age outpaced the bodily
age at first. In the feeble
minded" child this is reversed,
and it is the mentality that is
backward. but the right kind of
care should restore the balance
in one case as we'll as in the
other.
1t is the point of view that
tells. When you come to look
upon your intellectually back
ward child simply as being men
tally younger than his years, you
will treat him according to his
mental and not his physical age.
