18. ] Of the strong inheritability of idiocy there can be no doubt. Dr. Martin W. Barr of the Pennsylvania Training School for Feeble MindedChildren has published an etiological table embodying the results of acareful examination of 4050 cases of mental defect. Of these, 2651 or65. 45 per cent resulted from causes acting before birth, including1030 or 25. 43 per cent with a family history of idiocy and imbecility, and 529 more (13. 06 per cent) with a family history of insanity, epilepsy and mi...nor neuroses. Dr. Barr gives many instancesillustrating the heredity of imbecility, especially where both parentswere imbeciles, and had imbecile relatives. One case in particularforcibly illustrates the disastrous results of the marriage of suchunfortunates. It is taken from the reports of the Connecticut LunacyCommission: In one instance, where a pauper female idiot lived in one town, the town authorities hired an idiot belonging to another town, and not then a pauper, to marry her, and the result has been that the town to which the male idiot belongs has for many years had to support the pair and the three idiot children.
