SYNOPSIS OF THE REPORT OF THE ARKAN
SAS COMMISSION FOR THE FEEBLE MINDED

The report of the Arkansas Com
mission for che Feeble Minded was
formally presented to both houses of
the Legislature Thursday morning,
January 18th.
The Commission consists of DR.. j.
L. Greene, chairman; Durand Whip
pie. secretary, and ex-Gov. ]. M. Flu
trel, Hon. Louis Josephs and Dr. C.
w. Garrison. It was appointed by the
governor two years ago under author
ity of House Concurrent Resolution
No. 10, which directed that such a
commission be appointed to ascertain
the conditions and needs of the feeble
minded in the state, and to report
to the present General Assembly.
The Commission reported that a
partial survey of the state showed
that while there probably are fewer
cases of feeble mindedness, in proper
ton to the population, than in any
other state. there still were at least
2,200 children of school age that were
feeble minded, and that at least one
family in every thousand females was
composed of mental detectives.
It reported that feeble minded per
sons are very much more prolific than
normal people and that the defect is
inheritable; that all the children of
feeble minded parents may be poten-
tial criminals, paupers, prostitutes
and spreaders of disease.
The Commission unanimously report
ed that prompt action should be taken
at once. not only to care for those
cases of mental defect that require
institutional care, but also to restrict,
in some manner, the indiscriminate
breeding of these burdens on and
sometimes enemies to society.
The Commission finds that at pres
ent there are more than 200 feeble
minded inmate of the State Hospital
for Nervous Diseases, who are not in
sane; that over 200 feeble minded
detectives, not criminals-are confin-
ed in the state penitentiary; that
there are q definitely feeble minded
boys in the Reform School, at least Is
in the School for the Deaf and some
in the Blind School. making total of
ed inmates at present being cared
for by the state, without taking into
consideration the higher grades or
border-line eases.
In the existing state institutions il
costs much more to care for the fee
BILE minded than it would in a proper
ly equipped institution. in addition to
which they cannot do nearly as much
for their maintenance in the old insti-
buttons as they could in a school spe-
cially prepared for them.
The Commission figures that an in
stitution for only those feeble mind
ed now in state institutions would eff
feet saving of more than $4,000
year to the state.
The superintendent of all the exist
ing institutions are quoted in state
ments to the effect that a school for
the feeble minded should be started
at once.
The Commission asks for total
cash appropriation to start the school
of only ten thousand dollars a year.
for two years.
The Commission specially requests
the friends of the measure throughout
the state to request their representa-
tives in the Legislature to support the
bill
