Strona 6 - There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat; And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.
Strona 5 - It would be quite possible to indicate classes of the feebleminded that we think would safely get along in the community, such as young children, the lower grade cases if provided with physical comfort and care, the male, perhaps, more safely than the female, the girl who is not the possessor of physical beauty, the child who has a good home and others, but this would all be but a guess on individual cases. In closing I can only say that the number of feeble-minded that can safely be cared for in...
Strona 4 - ... agents in the community. The feeble-minded most in need of institutional care could better be determined. The institutions could also perform a larger service by co-ordinating with the community in the way of admitting those most in need of institutional care, and placing out in the community many trained cases, were it possible to place them under the supervision of trained workers, those who know the danger signals of the feeble-minded and who have authority to remand to the institutions. At...
Strona 25 - ... with special training in psychiatry, and associated with whom is to be a new unpaid advisory council, named by the chairman and approved by the State Board. In the State Hospital Commission, the state has made independent provision for the supervision of the insane, who furnish no graver problem than do the mentally defective. I recommend the restoration to the State Board of Charities of the power to review building plans for almshouses in New York City, this power having been taken away by...
Strona 50 - I would rather trust my life and limb to a motorman whose feeble memory span is reenforced by a loyal devotion to the comfort of his grandmother than to a mnemonic prodigy whose chief actuating motive in life is to be a 'good fellow.
Strona 3 - ... protection of the community Itself. With the large number of feeble-minded in this State it cannot be considered a practical solution of the problem, however, to segregate all of them in institutions. In fact, such a course, if it were practical from a financial standpoint, would be neither necessary nor desirable. The institution, important as it is, must be considered but a factor in the solution of this problem. There are large numbers of the feeble-minded in the community, and there always...
Strona 2 - ... the idea of segregation as a great means for the prevention of mental deficiency. The segregation idea is most important, and there is little danger of it being too strongly emphasized. The need for more institutional provision for the care of the feeble-minded in this State is most apparent. Despite the knowledge, however, of the part that heredity plays in the problem of the feeble-minded, yet so strong is the desire in the heart of every parent, guardian, judge, teacher, minister, physician...
Strona 24 - Pending the adoption of such new constitutional provision as will permit the establishment of an independent State department for the supervision of the mentally defective, known generally as the feeble-minded, I recommend the establishment of a new bureau in the State Board of Charities, to be known as the Bureau for Mental Deficiency, the chairman of which is to be one of the paid members of the board, and who must be a physician with special training in psychiatry, and associated with whom is...
Strona 35 - It certainly requires a great deal of knowledge and sympathy with children to choose the right moments, and it is to such an extent a matter of inborn tact that it is doubtful whether any written rules can do more than bring out that which one already possesses.
Strona 34 - It is, therefore, necessary to gain the confidence by treating the patient "as a sensible man or woman," and, wherever the patient does not speak freely, to begin with questions about whether they have all they need for their comfort, to pass to some of the least irritating topics, such as will most likely elicit a pleasant answer and create a congenial starting point. In perfect privacy and, as Head says...
