Hansford: Mental Defectives in County H,, Indiana 103 
It is interesting’ to note that the feeble-minded are costing 
the township more per capita than are the other classes of 
mental defectives, and that there are 126 of them as com- 
pared with 20 of the other two classes. The average cost of 
each moron for poor relief has been $51.35 ; for each imbecile 
it has been $34.94; for each insane, $28.36, and for each 
epileptic, $28.36.

The significant thing shown by these records is not that 
so much money has been spent for the care of the county 
mental defectives and that so many defectives have shared in 
the benefits of that relief, but that the people receiving aid 
are the same as those recorded on the books of the County 
Poor Asylum, of the Charity Organization Society, and of
