Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Schools for the Feebleminded: The State's Best Insurance Policy
By ira M. Hardy, M.D. Superintendent of the North Carolina School for the Feeble Minded. Kinston, N. C.
In addressing you on the custodial care, humane treatment and scientific training of the feebleminded, and that specifically designed institutions for carrying out these laudable purposes are the best insurance policies in which the state can invest, I believe are such self-evident facts that they should need no other demonstration than that involved in the effective work which they perform for the unfortunate and irresponsible, and in the general uplift of society, and the wholesome regeneration which accrues through them to the state in the prevention and lessening of pauperism, degeneracy and crime.
