Much attention is being given in
some American cities to the subject of
strengthening the minds of children
classed as feeble-minded. Investiga-
ton shows that many such are not af-
tlicted with hopelessly feeble minds,
and that, with proper treatment, many
of them may become educated and
their intellectual powers strengthened
One who has been giving close aLten-
tion to this subject is Miss Elizabeth
Farrell, inspector of ungraded classes
in the New York city schools. The re-
suit of her investigation is the finding
Of children in the schools classed as
feeble-minded, who, upon examination,
have been found to be endowed with
good general intelligence. 1t will be a
work worth doing, work of humanity
and in the line Of public economy, if
the schools all over the country will
take up the work of strengthening the
feeble-minded. 1t may be that in many
cases they are hopelessly defective;
but In divers other cases, with patient
and proper work they may be strength
ened and become surprisingly strong
men and women.
