Combining medical, sociological, and educational perspectives, this book presents an early 20th-century framework for diagnosing and classifying students with intellectual disabilities, specifically focusing on students classified as mentally retarded or subnormal in schools and institutions. The author acknowledges that mental retardation can result from both inherent or organic defects and external factors like irregular school attendance or an unfavorable home environment. The book's appendices include an extensive list of references and supplementary reading, along with pedagogical charts that guide readers through the diagnostic process for subnormal pupils. This book remains valuable as a historical document for understanding the development of special education and mental health services in the United States, and it provides insight into early ideas about the causes and treatment of intellectual disabilities.
