Train them, teach them, employ them, control them. The number is about the same as that of the insane, but the necessary cost of their care is very much less. Forty per cent self-supporting; 30 per cent or more, partly so; only 30 per cent or less, incapable of any labor. The sim- plest life makes them the happiest. Simple buildings, clean and comfortable, abundant land to work on, common sense and human kindness in their management. An immediate outlay of a considerable amount to gather them a...ll in — not a few, all of them — and then every year a lessening of ex- pense, of crime, pauperism, petty vices, until after thirty years the numbers reduced by 75 per cent, the total expense becomes negligible. Fully 75 per cent of the present feeble-minded are the children of feeble-minded parents. Just as soon as the whole class is segregated, the 75 per cent will cease to come into existence. There will always be some sporadic cases, but with three-fourths of the number cut off and all the new ones properly cared for, the largest single cause of pauper- ism, vice, crime and degeneracy will have been eradicated.
