Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mental Defectives in Virginia: A Special Report of the Stat Board of Charities and Corrections to the General Assembly of Nineteen Sixteen on Weak-Mindedness in the State of Virginia, Together With a Plan for the Training, Segregation and Prevention of the Procreation of the Feeble-Min His Excellency, Henry Carter Stuart Governor Of Virginia Sir: The State Board of Charities and Corrections has the honor to transmit herewith a special report on feeble-mindedness, as directed by the General Assembly in an act approved March 20, 1914. Recent reports of departments of the State government which deal with social matters indicate that the Commonwealth is not gaining (except as to physical health) in the battle against those classes which are burdensome to society. Our hospitals for the insane are as good as any in the country, but mental disease is not decreasing in Virginia. Our methods of dealing with criminals, paupers and other anti-social groups have not resulted in the reduction of their numbers; the increase of anti-social classes appears to keep pace with the growth of population. This is true not only of Virginia, but of the nation at large. It is now generally admitted by specialists in social sciences that crime, pauperism, as well as insanity, result largely from conditions of the mind, and the inefficiency of our present methods of dealing with such classes is doubtless due to our failure to give adequate recognition to mental causes. The report herewith presented is a study of degeneracy from this point of view, and it is respectfully suggested that in the perusal of these papers the following facts be kept in mind: 1. That there is an abnormal mental condition precedent to most types of insanity and forms of epilepsy, crime, pauperism, etc. 2. That this neurotic condition is, in the majority of cases, hereditary. 3. That the form of mental abnormality known as feeble-mindedness is the most dangerous, because it is directly inherited, and because from it spring many phases of mental disease and defect. 4. That if we can prevent the reproduction of the neuropathic make-up from which mental degeneracy springs, we will greatly reduce the anti-social classes. 5. Investigations in this and other States tend to show that the corrupt fruits of mental degeneracy in any community will disappear in proportion to the reduction of feeble-mindedness in that community. 6. And, therefore, that the most urgent need in the work of reducing degeneracy is the elimination of the feeble-minded. In this connection, Professor C. B. Davenport, one of the foremost authorities on the subject of eugenics, says: "If the State were to segregate its feeble-minded, were to examine for mental defects all immigrants settling in its borders, and were to deport those found to be defective, there will be a constantly diminishing attendance at State institutions for the feeble-minded, and at the end of thirty years there would be practically no use for such institutions." For five years, by direction of the General Assembly, this Board has been studying feeble-mindedness in Virginia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of how to treat the mentally handicapped attracted much attention from American reformers in the first half of the twentieth century. In this book, Steven Noll traces the history and development of institutions for the 'feeble-minded' in the South between 1900 and 1940. He examines the influences of gender, race, and class in the institutionalization process and relates policies in the South to those in the North and Midwest, regions that had established similar institutions much earlier. At the center of the story is the debate between the humanitarians, who advocated institutionalization as a way of protecting and ministering to the mentally deficient, and public policy adherents, who were primarily interested in controlling and isolating perceived deviants. According to Noll, these conflicting ideologies meant that most southern institutions were founded without a clear mission or an understanding of their relationship to southern society at large. Noll creates a vivid portrait of life and work within institutions throughout the South and the impact of institutionalization on patients and their families. He also examines the composition of the population labeled feeble-minded and demonstrates a relationship between demographic variables and institutional placement, including their effect on the determination of a patient's degree of disability.
