Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Feeblemindedness in Children of School Age Up to the present time the immense importance to our national welfare of effective methods in dealing with the Feebleminded has not been generally realised. The report of the Royal Commission on the Care and Control of the Feebleminded, published in 1908, has, however, served as a stimulus, so that, latterly, there has been a large amount of interest taken in the subject. This has rendered necessary the provision of a book suitable for school medical officers and also for teachers or social workers who have to deal with feebleminded children. The further objects of this book are (1) To emphasise the importance of the subject of mental deficiency and of the prominent place that efficient care of feebleminded persons should take in the measures for the welfare of the community. (2) To point out that feeblemindedness is an inherited taint handed on from generation to generation, and that every feebleminded person, who is a free and unrestrained agent, may, by becoming a parent, transmit that taint and so affect tens or hundreds in future generations. (3) To demonstrate that the only way to deal effectively with the problem is to provide suitable supervision and care, which will last during the whole lifetime of the feebleminded individual, and to show how such care may best be administered. I wish to express my great indebtedness to Miss Dendy for her help and advice, and for the material which she has placed at my disposal.
