"It follows then that the definition of any type of child such as the 'subnormal' must " depend on the probable conditions in adult life. We expect the normal child to become an adult who will be a producing factor in the community. We -know that the idiot will always be finan cially dependent. Between these two, lies an undefined group which we' dub 'subnormal," secretly wondering just what we mean. "We may group them according to school retardation. We may give them a phycho-physical examination and de cide that those who fall a certain dis tance below the established normal are subnormal. These, and other meth ods of grouping, aTe helpful because they necessitate study of the case. But none of them are based on adult possibilities, though that is the phase of the subject in -which we are most vitally interested, and one which must be . the practical basis for the 'sub normal's' training. "My own working definition is this: A subnormal child is one who, 'with out special expert, training will prob ably always' be dependent, but who, with that training, may possibly be come' an independent producer. "The definition suggests the scope of the training. Certain things, the man must know to be self-supporting: "He must be able to labor reason ably (this includes both mental and moral attitude toward his work and fellow workers). "He must know how to reckon his wages and expenditures. To help Jiim cope with these necessities we must give him all manner of co-ordinating games and exercises for his physic 'and social benefit; we must teach him to calculate weights and measures, time and money.
