 One of the most comprehensive. clean cut and convicing studies of the defec- tives of a state comes from New Hamp- shire. A state chidren's commission was created sometime ago and it's chairman Lillian c. Streeter has just published q reprint of the commissions S repor. OH ex- isting conditions relating to defectives.
 What New Hampshire Found
 The fact that New Hampshire is a small state with 10 counties, 235 towns and less than half a million people has made possi- ble more intensive and complete riece of work than has so far been dore in any other state of the union.
 The method of inquiry was first over the whole state, by questionnaires and then, by direct and intensive field work over a limited area, to check off and sup plement the returns. In the various in- stitutions 1895 children were tested the Binet-Simon scale being used by rum- Der of trained expert workers. New Hampshire, among the states. las the second largest number of children in orphans home in proportion to popula- tion.
 Several significant revelations, some ex- peeted and some unexpected, are made by , the report One is that the relative amount of feeb1e-mindednes gradually in- creases from the smallest proportion in the most populous county In the state. to the largest in the two most remote and thinly populated counties, showing clear ly the extent of the social needs of the rural districts.
 Another is that the method of treat ing feeble minded women, allowing them to enter the county almshouses to give birth to their ilegitmate babies 3nd to go out to repeat their sexual experiences. as soon as they are able. leaving the chil- dren to be promptly placed in orpnanaGes,
 is about as futile plan as could be de- vised. This accounts, at least in part, for the awful toll of feeblemnded chill dren in the orphanages.
 Another is that the $50 Predetermined women known to be at large, with tE5 many hundred more whose existence is certainly, though mayhap vaguely. esti- mated constitute a graver danger to the prosperity of the state than foreign war or a native pestlence.
 When orphanages are plentiful and ad- mission easy, many who might be classed as delinquent are rather treated IS de- pendent, in which case only the more serious offenders are committed to the industrial school. It may be taken as a general proposition for all such institu- tions that their worst cases arg most frequently Predetermined.
 Eeable- l11indednass in New HamDshlre Is a local problem. Of the defective children whose birthplace is known, so per cent were born in the town wherein they now live, and 10 per cent more in another town of the state. The nativity of the parents, too, is mostly American.

Studies of the mental defective are get 1 ting to be among the most frequent and serious of social economic efforts. Made by state boards or commissions as in New York Pennsylvania, New Jersey Michi- gan. New Hampshire Virginia ard other states, or by city departments of educa- tion as in Cleveland and elsewhere, or by voluntary agencies, like the Juvenile Pro tective association of Chicago, the re- suits are painfully alike.
 From everywhere comes the same story, that feeble mindedness is a chi f. if not the chief cause of vice, misery and deln- quency; that the present public provision for the defective is utterly inadequate; that nothing but drastic action fo" the prevention of propagation and for the care and control of the present generation can avert grave disaster from the nation.
 Time to Act
 The cumulative evidence in the case of the nation vs. the feeble minded which these numerous studies are pling up, must surely convince the most hesitatng and doubtful of our statesmen that the time for some comprehensive action has arrived.
 The Juvenile Protective Association of Chicago has been at it's beneficent work for seven years. It's purpose is to pre- vent juvenile vice and delinquency. It has accomplished untold good by it's fine reorganization and vigorous action. Much of its work has been in connection with the juvenile court and numerous cases have been dealt with in which mental defect was a main factor Often this meant that a defective child or a child sh adult, has been the easy victim of interruptions people. In other cases the defect has meant a moral twist or ob- tuseness which has made the defective a moral menace to other children
 So great part did mental defect play in the problems that came to tha associa- ton that it seemed worth while to under take a study of the mentally defective children in Chicago. The study was be- gun in January, 1914, the plan including a general inquiry covering the whole city and an intensive study of several school districts.
 The association has just published T re- port on the subject which is a most val uable public document. It shows 4455 actually recorded cases in the city and makes the very conservative estimate of 1900 more who have not been found.
 5000 Feeble Minded
 The report studies the subnorma school rooms, the state school and colony, the need of institutional provision and the segregation of Predetermined wonen. The study was made in much detail and the histories of many scores of Illustrative cases are given After considering the suggestions of many experts who were called on for advice, the report sum marizes the needs of the situation as fol- lows:
 l. Subnormal Children in the Public Schools-Separate and specialized instruc- ton for retarded children and for sub normal children. A folowup system for the children after leaving the school rooms. Special training for teachers of subnormal children.
