Feeble-minded survey chief picked for state study
Gov Stewart appointee committee favors Miss Helen F. Hill of Philadelphia for leading a state survey of feeble-minded people. Hill is in South Carolina doing similar work and could start in Montana by April 1 for a three to six month project. The plan aims to report from each district on feeble-minded residents, then seek legislation for a suitable home and care, reducing long-term state costs and crime. Dietrich notes many move through a cycle of crime and release, seeking attention, and argues for rights and proper institutions.
