title: [Feeblemindedness and its treatment].
abstract: The problem of feeblemindedness has been approached from a social point of view. Newer researches in socialisation have increasingly pointed out mental retardation not to be only a matter of hereditary factors, but largely determined by social environment. If it is true that one is born a retardate, it is true in a social sense. Not so much determined by genetic deficiency, but due to social environment efficient so early as in utero the retardate is born with the stigma of a "Paria". Possibilities of improvement are discussed, more attention should be given to largely unemployed areas of personal development and interpersonal communication.
