penter and lives in Stonetown where he works in a factory. 
She is a low-grade normal. She and her husband have 3 chil- 
dren: Pansy, Leonard, and Mary Ellen. They are dirty- 
faced, mouth-breathing youngsters who run wild in much the 
same fashion as their mother's family did before them. 
Edith, the sixth child of Clara, married Forest Carter, by 
whom she had 1 child who is now dead. Forest was recently 
arrested for bigamy. Neither is feeble-minded, but Edith is 
a very low normal or borderline. 
Edna, the seventh child of Clara, is 21 years old. At the 
age of 14 years, she married Fred Briscoe, the son of John, 
who is insane. They lived a cat and dog life for 3 or 4 years 
and Edna left him. Their child, Florence, died in infancy. 
She was not faithful to her husband while living with him 
and since her divorce has been exceedingly immoral. She 
works as a domestic most of the time. When 17 years old

code. Each of the other girls married when they did to pre- 
vent their children from being fatherless. Irene has always 
been a moral girl and since her marriage has set up a home 
that is far superior to that of her mother. She is undoubtedly 
of normal intelligence. Her baby is intelligently cared for 
and is showing the result of care different from that received 
by the younger Franklin children. 
Eugene, the ninth child of Clara, was born in 1900. When 
14 years old he tested 10 by the Goddard scale. His mother 
says that he is a good boy but that the other boys “pick on 
him" and that is the reason he is always in a fight. His 
teachers report him as incorrigible. When quite small he 
smoked cigarettes, used profane language, and stole from the
