NAUGHTON'S WEAKER CHILDREN Alxander Johnson Delivrs Lec.ure Gonecrning Fech ¢ Mnded Persens. Bridgeport, April 28.—Alexander Johnson, director of the extension department at the Training school at Vineland, N. J., addressing.the State Conference of Charities and Correc- tions here yesterday, brought out the duty of the mother state toward her weaker children. He remarked: ““Recent researches made in several states have shown that the usual es- timates which have' prevailed as to the number- of feeble-minded persons in the United States have much un- derstated the facts. ® Instead of one in five hundred of the population, which has been a' usual estimate, it seems probable that there are fully twice as many." Other studies that are being made show that the num- ber of |delinquents who are really feeble-minded, and therefore proper subjects for care and guardianship, not for reformation or punishment, is much larger than has been stated until quite recently. Some recent in- vestigations of reformatories for girls and women have shown from twenty to thirty-five per cent. of the inmates to be feeble-minded. Many of the terribly immoral and incorrigible girls are among the number. Efforts to reform them are futile. Punishment is merely cruelty, Permanent cus- todlal care, with useful employment and treatment that will make them as happy as_their condition admits of, is the only proper way of treating them. Present Meth Useless. imilar facts have been disclosed with regard to male inmates of prif- ons and reformatories. Our present methods with the army of defective delinquents are utterly useless, and are very wasteful, To imprison such people for short terms, and send them out, merely to have them commit scme new crime or depredation, and go over the whole costly process of arrest, trial, commitment, and deten- tion again and again, is one of the conspicuously foolish proceedings of which every state in the Union |is guilty. ‘““A recent report from Pennsylvania showed 18,000 defectives needing proper care in’ that state, over and abové those now, in institutions, The report went on to say that 7,000 of these were women of child-bearing age, that most of them are already mothers of defective children, and that, until they are properly cared for and centrolled, they will continue to increase and multiply. The legisla- ture was stirred to action by the, spe- cial need of protection to the women and girls. stoves. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 1914.

O'Brien-Jack and Harry-Glennwar, in the comedy sketch,. “I'm Your Friend,” and Jack Riley and Long- Bill in their musical comedy act were the hits of the evening and took the audience by storm. Henry F. Ladbury by means of his mysterious sleight-of-hand stunts, proved that his hands were quicker than the eyes of the onlookers. Filmore Ohman followed with some pleasing piano selections. After the show Banner's orchestra furnished music for dancing and refreshments were served by a committee in charge. VISIT IS CONCLUDED. Boston, April 28.—European mem- bers of the International Surgical so- clety concluded their visit to this eity today by attending additional clinics at several hospitals. Numerous diffi- cult operations were performed. under thelr ohservation by Boston surgeons. They have spent $500,000: | on a new institutign, but; so/far, have | only provided for some of the boys.y 't “Research made “in 'New Jersey. paryly by thestate; through. the offide of the commissioner of charities, and partly by the Training school ‘at Vineland, has disclosed facts which prove most clearly that feeble-mind- edness is chiefly a matter of hered- ity, and that at least sixty-five per cent. of all present cases have in- herited the defective condition, In Six Generations. . “It has been demonstrated that the defect introduced into a family by one feeble-minded girl has come down through six generations in an in- creasing stream of evil; that feeble- minded parents always have feeble- minded children; that all the other social evils, such as alcoholism, pros- titution, syphilis, illegitimacy, crime, insanity, are closely connected . with the one great defect—in a word, that if this defective condition could be eliminated every social burden would be made lighter, and some would cease to be. “The lecture was illustrated with a number of slides showing children of different degrees of idiocy. Thers were illustrations of the Binet ana other tests which showed the ances- try for three or more generations of inmates of the Training school at Vineland, New Jersey, where Mr. Johnson is director of the extension department. “The work of the school was also shown, the various classes and many other Interesting things connected with {t.
