Abstract
The author refers to the stupid not only in the literal sense of the stupid from birth, but also morally insufficient and backward, standing below the norm. American institutions for retarded children contain very few mentally handicapped, and many more morally handicapped, with a sickly character and inability to adapt to the environment. The most commonly observed are: general incorrigibility, aimless lies, quarrelsomeness, theft, arson, destruction of other people's property, vagrancy, premature sexual manifestation, sexual perversion and various manifestations of physical degeneration.
