Urges PROVISION For
Mental Detectives
Childrens Bureau Issues a
Startling Report on Condi-
tons in Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The fed
eral children's bureau issues today a
report on Mental Detectives in the
| District OF Columbia"
The District has at present no insti-
tuition for the care of such cases, and
/ this study was made to secure as COM
plete an enumeration as possible of
mental detectives OF the District who
may be assumed to need the protec-
ton OF an institution Only those
cases were included concerning whom
! information could be obtained from
public and private agencies, teachers,
physicians and others dealing with de-
fectives.
In this study the bureaus investiga-
: tors find 79S individuals so defective
mentally "a to need institutional care.
Only II per cent are reported as
under care.
Thlrty-four per cent are in insti-
tutions not equipped for their care or
boarded out.
Fifty-four per cent are at large in
the community under varying cOndi-
tons of helplessness and neglect.
Two hundred and seventy-two cases
are those of children under . years
old. Only a very small percentage of
these children are maintained in train
ing schools for the feeble-minded in
neighbOring states.
n large number OF individual cases
are described. illustrating the various
types for whom institutional care is
desirable. These include cases where
mental defect has been transmitted
from one generation to another.
Feeble minded mothers of from one
to six illegitimate children are report
ed-the children cared for at public
expense-but no provision made for
protecting the mothers. Twenty-siX
per cent of the total number of de-
fectives found are women between the
ages of 10 and 40.
The data gathered furnish evidence
as to the individual suffering and de-
generation, the burden TO families,
the handicap to the school system, and
the d. ger to the whole community
resulting from the lack of proper pro-
vision for the feeble-minded
The newer state institutions of the
last 20 years follow the colony, or
village, plan of organization so-called.
This requires large acreage, with
training school. farm. shops, and many
detached cottages. Rough, uncIeared
land has been found to provide work
for the ab1e-bodied men and boys in
clearing land, hewing timber, con-
structing the necessary farm buildings,
and preparing the land for agricul-
tural purposes. Farm colonies and
industrial institutions have proved,
says the report, that mental de-
fectives in some cases may be made
self-suppOrting. a condition which not
only relieves society of the burden Of
their care. but turns their energies
from injurious and morbid channels
into useful and happy homes"
Adequate provision for the best
modern care of the feeble-minded in
the capital city of the nation is strong
ly urged. 1t is pointed out that such
care would be a financial economy.
In addition, "the social economy that
must result from the prevention OF
transmission Of defect cannot be estl-
mated in figures but it is hardly to be
questioned thatthe investment would
result in savings compounded with
each generation"
