MENTAL DEFECTS IN LOUISIANA

DR.. Thomas, superintendent of the
State Hospital for Insane at Pine
vile, reports that about one-fifth CT
all patients in the hospital are not in
sane. but Predetermined. Without hav
ing positive information about the
other state hospital, we believe that
the condition is much the same there.
Both hospitals are overcrowded and
many insane people, who should be
received as patients, are debarred
admission because the beds, which
they should occupy are being used
by feeble-minded people who are not
proper inmates of hospital for in
sane.
The difference between these two
chef forms of mental defect, insani-
tv and feeble-mindedness, is fire.
uuently ignored by the general pub
lie. But it is a very important diff
ference and very different treat
ment of these afflicted in the two
ways is demanded, both for their own
sake and for the common good.
An insane person is one whose
mind has had a normal development
but then at physical maturity or be-
fore that period or later in life, has
become deranged. This arrangement
may be because of brain disease or
accident or because of hereditary in
fluences.
Insanity is often accompanied by
fixed decisions. The mind goes astray
and mistakes fancies for facts. The
wrong ideas cannot be corrected by
argument nor even by proof. Often
the insane person imagines that his
best friends are really his worst enc
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-05-22

exists between these two classes. On
" few of the insane owe their mis-
fortune to heredity, alone. And it is
by no means certain that the child
Of an insane parent or of one who
has been insane will become like his
parent in that respect. One who re-
covers may be just as well as one who
has never been sick, may be just as
fit to be parent.
But the major part of the feeble
minded are so from birth and inherit
their defects from parents or grand
parents. Other cases are caused by
infantile disease, very few by acct
dent. There are few which We call
"Sporatic, which really means that
we do not know their cause. But,
however, the defect is acquired, if
they become parents, it will probably
be transmitted to their offsprings.
Hence, it is of vital Importance, for
the good of society, that in some pro-
per and humane way, procreation by
the Predetermined shall be prevented.
The best available way to prevent
the procreation of the feebleminded
is by what is called segregation; that
is separating them from ordinary life
and keeping them, not only during
their education, but always widely
apart, under conditions that shall by
themselves make them contented with
the sexes and fairly happy and as far
as possible useful.
This is the object of the schools
and colonies for feebleminded which
exist in may states and will soon, we
hope, exist in Louisiana, if the law
enacted by the Legislature of 1918
shall be put into operation.
Some day the vital facts here set
forth regarding the feeble-minded,
state by diminution of proverty, dis
ease and crime will De incalculable.
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-05-22

mics. Fixed decisions are the most
certain marks of insanity and are
most often depended on as proof of
the condition.
Now many people who go insane
may be cured or may recover. There
are thousands of men and women, oc-
cupying positions of Importance and
doing useful work in the world, who
have been insane for a time and have
completely recovered.
But feeble-mindednes is a radio
ally different condition. The develop
ment of the mind has been arrested
either by birth or at an early age. The
persons body grows, he may even be
more than ordinarily strong and well.
But the mind remains like that of a
child of anywhere from one year to
ten or twelve years of age, and the
arrested condition is permanent. 1t
cannot be cured. The mind is like a
clock that has stopped and cannot be
set going. The person remains at the
mental level when the arrest took
place, just as long as he lives.
In proper schools the feeble-mind-
ed may be taught to use the little
mind that they have; they may be
trained to do many useful things,
may be made reasonably contented
and happy.
But always some kind and wise
person must direct and lead them,
plan for them, show them the way,
because mentally they are always
children. So what we need to provide
for them is not hospitals, which sup
poses medical treatment, but school
a place of training and home-a place
of care and protection.
