Excerpt from School Training of Defective Children The value of the report to those outside New York lies in the fact that, because of its great size, New York has had much experience in a short time. Methods have been in vogue and experiments tried, the results of which are seen. The mistakes may be avoided by other cities. Although it is two years since the investigation was made, and the writer has made much study of the prob lem in the meantime, he sees no reason to change any thing of importance in the report or recommendations, and on most points contributions by others to the problem have strengthened the convictions expressed in the report: such, for example, as the number of defectives in New York schools. While no importance is attached to the estimate of defectives - ii it were only half that the conclusions in the report would be the same - the indi cations are strong, and from many sources, that 2 per cent. Of the school population is an underestimate of the number of mental defectives in any community. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
