1921. This is an attempt to introduce a blanket term under
which feeble-minded; insane; criminalistic, including
delinquent and wayward; epileptic; inebriate, including drug
habitues; diseased, including tuberculous, lepers, and others
with chronic infectious diseases; blind, including all of
seriously impaired vision; deaf, including those with seriously
impaired hearing; deformed, including the crippled; and
dependent, including orphans, old folks, soldiers and sailors
in "homes," chronic charity-aided folk, paupers, and
ne'er-do-wells, may be listed. This article attempts to make a
classification inclusive, yet subject to minute subheading,
which may make reports more definite in listing human beings.

Is such an attempt wise, and if so, how would each member of this
group classify the "socially inadequate?"

mental examination of all convicted persons as an indispensable basis
for right understanding and treatment of prisoners.

ever-growing scale is the great historical task of mankind, and
the magnitude of it explains all shortcomings."--CHARLES H.
COOLEY, in _Social Organization_.

But in the injury wrought by broken bonds
And in the garnered good of human trust.
'Tis a compulsion of the higher sort,
Whose fetters are the net invisible
That holds all life together.
'Tis faithfulness that makes the life we choose
Breathe high and see a full-arched firmament.
We may see ill
But over all belief is faithfulness
Which fulfils vision with obedience.
No good is certain, but the steadfast mind,
The undivided will to seek the good;
'Tis that compels the elements, and wrings
