Synopsis

Excerpt from Second Report on Fifty-Two Border-Line Cases in the Rome State Custodial Asylum: Made to the State Board of Charities at Its Special Meeting, Held December 16, 1915, by the Board's Standing Committee on Idiots and Feeble-Minded

A Restoration School. There would come to the clearing house many cases for whom intensive training along specialized lines would be deemed essential, hence the next step in the development of the system is a restoration school to carry out effectively the program laid down by the clearing house staff, where every thing possible would be done to correct the physical, mental and moral faults. Thus the time which the child spends while under Observation would be a distinct advantage to him, rather than a loss. Effective machinery for the passing on of children from the school as soon as the clearing house should recommend it, would be necessary in order that the school should not become clogged either with normal children or custodial cases.

The committee desires to express its appreciation of the assist ance rendered by Dr. Bernstein, the superintendent, the staff of resident physicians, the teachers and those in charge of the chil dren in the determination of the physical growth and general conduct Of the fifty-two border-line cases. The work of investiga tion, this year and last, was done by Investigator Marion Collins of the Bureau Of Analysis and Investigation by direction of the committee. This report, with its tables and schedules, has been prepared by that department of which Dr. Gertrude E. Hall is the head.
