We shall then as- | certain what other states have n this | line and then to SC what Connecticut can do."
 1 According to Dr. Waterman, 1t has been pointed out that psychopathic hos pitals in conjunction with the genera hospitals in the large center of popula ton would serve an important economic purpose. Dr. Waterman, as chairman o, the commission, Is to cor-ordinate th+ work of the other four members engaged In various investigations The commis sion is doing the work as follows:
