Excerpt: ... of the morons, perhaps a few more, but ninety-five per cent. are outside of the institution. The lower types are not troublesome, but to get hold of the morons, especially the high grade, educate and care for them, and keep control of them is a problem. As long as we can keep them, they are safe. I am speaking of my own institution. Nevertheless, if we were able to segregate all we now recognize as mentally feeble, it is doubtful whether our problem would end. I am of the opinion that in a number of years, we would have almost as many as we have at the present time. The study of Eugenics shows us that there is a strain in most families which is liable to crop out at some time or other; an indication of defective germ plasm. Dr. Bernstein: I like the plan of a large colony containing all types; not segregating the boys in one and the girls in another. Such an institution is more easily administered, the inmates are more contented, and in general it is much more satisfactory than to have separate institutions. I am not in favor of drastic measures in regard to issuing marriage licenses. I do not think it possible to restrict men to the extent such a law would require. The bill requiring physical examination before a marriage license can be issued seems to me to be simply a piece of foolishness. No physician, if he were conscientious, would certify that a man or woman were free from communicable diseases. I could not possibly do it. I can see no merit in it. I do not think it possible to carry it out. In regard to sterilization, I think we should have a law under which the physician could act. There is often a class of children in the community who need such care. We strive in different ways to reach a solution of the problem, in sterilization or segregation...

The examiner may illustrate with a test of similar design or the test itself may be inverted and used to illustrate the procedure. Only such help as is necessary for the child to understand the test should be given. The sub-joined table gives a summary of the amounts of difference in the estimates per Binet and per the M. I. series, as shown by the Graph. The latter shows the individual records of 100 children taken at random from a large number. TABLE SHOWING COMPARISON OF RESULTS PER BINET AND PER M. I. SERIES. Number of children testing one year below the Binet age.. 6 Number testing the same as the Binet age 27 Number testing one year above the Binet age. 57 Number testing two years above the Binet age 18 Number testing three years above the Binet age 8 Number testing four years above the Binet age 3 Number testing five years above the Binet age 1 Total 120 It will be seen by referring to this table that in 90 cases (75 per cent.) there is not more than one year's difference in the two estimates. Making allowance for the fact that the new series has been arranged so as to be a little easier than the Binet, the two estimates in a large proportion of cases appear to corroborate one another. In the remaining 25 per cent, ot cases there is a wider margin of difference. Neither estimate need necessarily be incorrect. In using the two series of tests we have increased our knowledge of the child's capacities. By his greater success in the new series he has proved the possession of greater executive ability and general intelligence than the Binet examination brought to light. If diagnosis with regard to mental deficiency is called for, consideration should certainly be given to both results. Though primarily intend...
