Excerpt from Manual of the Course of Study, Bancroft Training School for Mentally Subnormal Children, Haddonfield, N. J
Much of the early training of subnormal children is what may be termed pre-kindergarten training. In other words, they must be taught, sometimes by laborious methods, what normal children learn readily in the first two or three years of life.
