Abstract
IT is almost impossible for a lay mind to form any conception of the tremendous financial drain on the country's resources caused by the socially inefficient or higher grade mental or moral defective. Dr. Berry and Dr. Gordon have set out, in their book, to give a plain and straightforward account of the various grades of mental defective, so that the lay mind may understand the most difficult of social problems, the elimination of the defective from our midst.
The Mental Defective: a Problem in Social Inefficiency.
By Dr. J. A. Berry Dr. R. G. Gordon. Pp. xi + 196 + 8 plates. (London: Kegan Paul and Co., Ltd., 1931.) 8s. 6d. net.
