"It would be n conservative estimate." Lieutenant DM1 declnred. "to predict that from 20 to 30 per cent of the state home girls will prove to be feeble-minded when diagnostic mental examinations have been made. On the other hand, only nbout T per cent could be considered ns above aver nge in Intelligence. "It Is enrnestlv recommended thnt the board of managers nnd the executive management In the state home formu late policies regarding feeble-minded in mates. The presence of feeble-minded girls in its population defeats the funda mental nin or the institution, a typical feeble-minded girl cannot be returned to society with nny expectation of being self-supporting or self-controlling in n normal way. Such girls also ordinarily come from a home en vironment which is so defective that if the girl Is returned there she has no prospect of success. Moreover, it is difficult to place feeble-minded girls either in Industry or In service with restrictions. At present the outlook for the transfer of mental! defective girls is most discouraging. Most of the mental states can be successfully com bated by modern methods of mental hygiene. Definite educational nnd dis ciplinary devices nre available for the amelioration jf such conditions." It was stated In the report thnt sta tistics show a total of .WSl inmates at the home during the year, of whom 202 were either paroled, transferred, recalled or discharged, and that dur ing thnt period 10T girls were paroled, making n total of 2S1 on parole on June 30 last.
