One Of the greatest difficulties in
determining the proper care of those
persons who are mentally defective
has been the lack of any standard
series Of terms that describe the Va
rious conditions.
In England. as pointed out by
Surgeon J. s. Wilson of the United
states Public Health Service, there
is a national act which distinguishes
carefully between the feeble minded
of various grades.
Three Groups
In this country. in most in
stances, the American classified
ton is followed. which divides
persons mentally defective into
three groups-idots, imbeciles and
morons.
In Texas there is law which
defines a feeble minded child as
one who has such feeble mental or
moral processes as to be unable
to benefit by the ordinary method
OF education as employed in the
common schools.
A minded adult is one
who is unab bic under ordinary cir
cumstances to protect and support
himself as a law abiding citizen
because of lack of mental power.
Doctor Wilson emphasizes the
fact that this law does not prop
erly distinguish between an i'm
beetle or a person with a form OF
insanity like dementia praecox. The
term feeble minded should. OF
course, be limited to those who have
a retarded or restricted development
| of the brain and who are unable
when grown up to adapt themselves
i to the life of the community.
| Those who are concerned with
the future of the race recognize that
I the lack OF control over the feeble
minded tends to permit them 10
propagate and to increase the num-
Der of mentally defective people for
the future. The various grades OF
feeble mindedness must be consider
+ cd, since there are some persons not
able to use their brains to any ad-
/ vantage, VINO neNeftneleSS may earn
living by INDUCING in definitely re-
stricted activities.
Diagnosis and Care
Hence any mental disturbance
calls for most careful considera-
ton, a proper diagnosis and suit
able care. Predetermined persons
/ who are a social menace must. OF
! course, be segregated in training
schools. Those who are not anti
social In their tendencies should be
provided for in special classes IN
public schools.
Most important Of all, however. Is
education of the public as to the po-
tcntial danger Of marriage when one
or more of the ancestors of either
one of the persons to be married are
Predetermined or mentally defective
and second the refusal to issue Z
marriage license to any one who II
feeble minded or insane. or whose
blood test is positive for the serioul
disease that produces such great de-
generation when it attacks the hui
man brain.

Nlad&e Determines TO Keep Mary
HAyrism's Check Book and In
1cstirate Her INpenIitures

As picked up Mary Harrison $
bank book and folding check book
from the hall floor where they had
dropped without her knowledge, !
opened my lips to call her and tell
her of her loss. Then with sud
den flash OF memory urging me TO
an action which in any other cir
cumstances l would have abhorred,
| hushed the call and opening my
own bag slipped the small leather
books inside it.

upon me that / must not shut my
self away from the opportunity 10

a time when the lack of espionage
upon Dickys young niece almost
had resulted in a tragedy for her.
Intuitively, l *elt that there was no
Jack Leslie in her life now, nor
anything as mcnaclng as that cpl
sode when she. unknown TO Us all,
was the celebrated masked dancer
at one of BroadWay's most widely
known night clubs. l believed that
her remorse and repentance at that
tine had been genuine and that She
was too thankful for the providence
which had kept her from Jack
Leslie's grasp, and successfully
yelled her identity from curious
world, ever TO deceive US like that
again.
But I knew that however repug-
nant the task, l must find out why
the girl with a liberal allowance
was stinting herself SO markedly in
the matter OF clothing. Her mother
was dead, her aunt. who was her
guardian, was in q distant city, her
grandmother was too old and feeble

nearest to her in relationship-and

His screams attracted Meeks, who returned and attempted to draw the bodies from the wire. The current proved fatal to both.
