Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Summaries of State Laws Relating to the Feebleminded and the Epileptic
The unequal emphasis placed by the codes upon the obviously important and obviously unimportant is necessarily reflected in the summaries; and, from the point of View of some persons, things may have been omitted which they regard as significant. This was unavoidable as the views of individuals in this respect differ. It is believed, however, that the essentials of the laws have been faith fully stated. Of course in many instances the laws of certain states contain enactments of which counterparts are not found in others. This accounts for the blanks under some headings. In other instances, apparent omissions mean that the matters in question have not been made the object of general legislation, but are left to the regu lation of the boards of trustees of the hospitals or other officials. The numbers in the margin make it possible at once to refer to the original code or statute from which the section in question was taken. For the greater part the different paragraphs have been furnished with sub-heads. The general headings and the sub-heads make it clear what they deal with, so that the reader will have little difficulty in orienting himself.
