4.9/5 (15994 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Report of the Maine Commission for the Feebleminded and of the Survey To the Honorable Governor and Executive Council of the State of Maine: By virtue of a Resolve passed by the Legislature of Maine in the year 1917, the undersigned were appointed members of a commission to "make a thorough and complete study of the problem relating to the care, treatment and needs of the feebleminded within the State and report with recommendations as to the future policy of the State." In his message to the Legislature of that year the Governor wisely observed with reference to the care and treatment of the feebleminded that "no further expenditures for extension of plant should be made until there has been a thorough investigation of the whole problem with the aid of the best expert advice that can be obtained." Inasmuch as the presence and unrestrained activities of the feebleminded in social life are universally recognized as a grave menace to the highest welfare of society, and as the problems involved in their care, treatment and ultimate elimination, are obviously complex and difficult of solution, your commissioners were deeply impressed by the weight of the responsibilities imposed upon them. Fortunately, in this emergency the splendid philanthropy and benevolent resources of the "National Committee for Mental Hygiene" became available for our purpose, and without any expense whatever to our State, this "National Committee" employed Dr. Guy G. Fernald, a native of Maine, but now a resident of Massachusetts, an eminently competent expert on this subject, to serve as Secretary to our Commission, and as Director of the survey to be made for the "National Committee." He has given indefatigable service for an entire year to the investigation of the problem-connected with the care and treatment of the mental delinquents in our State, and we now have the pleasure of presenting a full report of the intelligent and comprehensive survey and discriminating study of this problem in Maine. It was prepared by Dr. Fernald as Secretary of our Commission, and as a Director of the survey for the National Committee.
