Excerpt from The Kallikak Family a Study in the Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness
On September 15, 1906, the Training School for Backward and Feeble-minded Children at Vineland, New Jersey, opened a laboratory and a Department of Research for the study of feeble-mindedness.
A beginning was made in studying the mental condition of the children who lived in the Institution, with a view to determining the mental and physical peculiarities of the different grades and types, to getting an accurate record of what deficiencies each child had and what he was capable of doing, with the hope that in time these records could be correlated with the condition of the nervous system of the child, if he should die while in the Institution and an autopsy should be allowed.
As soon as possible after the beginning of this work, a definite start was made toward determining the cause of feeble-mindedness. After some preliminary work, it was concluded that the only way to get the information needed was by sending trained workers to the homes of the children, to learn by careful and wise questioning the facts that could be obtained.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of two families, tracing their lineage over generations to expose the profound impact of heredity on human lives. One branch, descended from a man who had a child with a feeble-minded woman, is plagued by mental deficiency, immorality, and social dysfunction. The other branch, stemming from the same man's marriage to a woman of good standing, thrives with successful individuals and healthy social contributions. The author meticulously documents the lives and fates of hundreds of individuals, highlighting the stark contrast between the two branches. The book delves into themes of social responsibility, individual agency, and the role of environment in shaping human potential. It challenges the prevailing notion that societal ills stem solely from environmental factors, presenting a powerful case for the significance of heredity in shaping individual and familial destinies. This book, a groundbreaking work of social science, provides a compelling and troubling portrait of how inherited traits can impact generations to come, leaving a lasting mark on individuals and communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330273203_0
