of Goldie died insane. Her brother, John Clark, married 
Flora Evans and was the father of Rose Clark, an epileptic 
imbecile who died in the County H. Poor Asylum. Goldie 
married Robert Allen at the age of 16 years. 
Goldie has had epileptic seizures for many years. The 
attacks are said now to be less frequent than formerly. Her 
daughter says that she once went for 2 years without having 
an attack. For several years she has been having only 3 or 
4 each year. Her sense of morality is not very highly de- 
veloped, for she allows Martha Bell to live in adultery with 
her son Ray in her home. Goldie is not very industrious and 
is satisfied with just enough to eat and to keep warm. ' She 
lives with Ray, Maud, and Julia in a tiny box house of 2 
rooms east of Ripple Creek in the Allen settlement. The 
home is scantily furnished and very dirty. 
Harry, the oldest son of Robert and Goldie Allen, is 41 
years old. He is a high-grade moron, can read, write, and 
count a little, but cannot make the change required by Ter- 
man, missed the point to the absurdities, comprehension ques-

up a stream of conversation but does not say much. He says 
that he intends to keep his children out of school in the future 
as the “teacher does not know nothin”. He intends to teach 
them himself. Harry is very lazy and works only when it is 
necessary for him and his family to have food. He married 
Esther Hudson, a girl with a bad character. She had 1 child 
before marriage which is thought to belong to Harry. She 
is intelligent, neat, clean, but illiterate. Her father gave 
her 40 acres when she married, and now she makes most of 
the family living off of it. They live in a two-room box house 
every inch of which is neat and clean. It is rumored about 
that she is still immoral and untrue to Harry. All members 
of the family are zealous members of the Holy Roller church. 
Paul, the first child of Harry and Esther, was born in 
March, 1906, before the marriage of the parents. He is 12 
years old with a mental age of 9 years and 4 months. His 
I.Q. is 77. He started to school when he was 5 years old and 
is now in the fourth grade. He spent 3 winters in the first 
grade. His trouble seems to be inability to concentrate, ac- 
cording to his teacher. During his Binet test, in many cases 
he failed to answer because he would hot listen carefully ; his
