is made to show that individuals cannot be classed solely as responsible and irre- 

 sponsible, but that there is a class that has degrees, one may say, of responsibility. 

 The individuals making up this class are mentally ill, and may sooner or later 

 become insane; and they, like the insane, may be cured. The demifous is one 

 characterized by an enfeeblement of the higher mental faculties and an uncon- 

 trolled functional hyperactivity of the lower psyche (p. 130). In opposition to 

 this generalization it is pointed out that these individuals are often mentally bril- 

 liant and have contributed much to literature, science and art, as well as taking a 

 considerable part in politics, etc. The treatment and the legal standing of the 

 individuals must be considered individually.
