would be classified as border line

"A defective individual should be
considered and dealt with ON the
basis of his intelligence, physical
equipment, personality, morals and
environment"
The problem of feeble minded
ness can best be dealt with
through early identification of de-
fectives, segregation of those in
capable of living at home, super
vision of those paroled from state
institutions, research into the
causes of feeble mindedness and
