Excerpt from Journal of Psycho-Asthenics, Vol. 16: September, 1911; American Association for the Study of the Feeble-Minded Going into a new' work at a busy time, soon followed by a legislature which changed nearly all the law go'verning the insti tution, I have been kept very busy and what little plans I had made for this occasion have been entirely spoiled. Being a youngster in the work, it seemed manifestly improper for me to attempt to instruct the Older and wiser, in the work. I had planned, at least, to work up something for an address, as that seems to be the chief function Of this Office, but business has de Creed otherwise and I am compelled in order to carry out the custom Of a president's address to fill in with anything that comes to hand. What it might have been I can not say but will leave it to your imagination which I hope will deal kindly with it.

Excerpt from Journal of Psycho-Asthenics, Vol. 21: Devoted to the Care, Training and Treatment of the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic, Published Quarterly at Faribault, Minnesota The main object of this paper is to present some statistics on a number of questions relating to the care of the feebleminded. The findings will be discussed with reference to possible remedies. Officials of State Institutions are somewhat familiar with many of the conditions the figures reveal. The public in general, however, is imbued with views that are wholly at variance with most of them, or lacks information entirely. The main question concerns the different percentages of the total number of existing feeble-minded that are at present in different kinds of institutions and parts of society. So far as there exists a clearly defined policy as to what the State should aim to do in the care of the feeble-minded the facts here will show in what degree the State is accomplishing its chief aim. The second question to be considered will be how this distribution of the feeble-minded in society is affected by grade of feeble-mindedness, sex, age, and legislation. A third question that will be considered is that of the frequency with which the feeble-minded leave institutions permanently after they were once committed. And fourth, how this is affected again by the same factors of grade, sex, age and legislation. The determination of the percentage of the existing feebleminded that are in different institutions, and outside, involves a determination of the total number existing in the country.

Excerpt from Journal of Psycho-Asthenics, Vol. 19: September, 1914; Devoted to the Care, Training and Treatment of the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic The aim of the extension department of the Training School at Vineland, New Jersey, is to assist in any movement looking toward adequate care for all feeble-minded. The department wishes to give information and advice, not to undertake the task of directing the establishment of institutions, colonies, etc. Many experimental steps have been tried out at the Training School and in New Jersey, but this department has no desire to use these except as demonstrations of what may be done. Its distinctive work is publicity and propaganda and it desires to make widely known the best that is now being done in every state. Although the object to be obtained has become well defined, the beginnings were rather hazy and the various steps have been somewhat those of the opportunist. As early as 1896 it was seen that the best place to recognize the feeble-minded was in the public schools, and in that year an attempt was made to get a report of the numbers in the schools of Allen County, Indiana. The condition was so little recognized, however, that the attempt failed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
