Excerpt from The Intelligence of the Feeble-Minded

It is because our own experience has led us to the same conclu sions, wherever we have studied the same points, that we have come to have such a profound regard for Binet that we feel like pronouncing this the most important and enlightening work on the real nature of the mental defective, that has ever appeared.

Excerpt from The Intelligence of the Feeble-Minded

It is with peculiar pleasure that the Vineland Research Department presents to the public Miss Kite's translation of Binet and Simon's work entitled The Intelligence of the Feeble-Minded.

Nowhere does Binet's genius show more brilliantly than in this work. That he in the midst of a busy life and in addition to all his other work could have acquired so great a knowledge of mental defectives is amazing; the more so when we realize that it was first-hand knowledge gained from observation backed by keen perception, that perception that enabled him to see the truth with a quickness that makes the rest of us, still groping in the dark, question if it was truth Binet saw. But that it was truth we arc learning every day. After ten years of the Vineland laboratory' it is surprising to find how little wc have found that Binet had not already discovered. It is true we have found it independently and so it is confirmatory evidence.

It is because our own experience has led us to the same conclusions, wherever we have studied the same points, that we have come to have such a profound regard for Binet that we feel like pronouncing this the most important and enlightening work on the real nature of the mental defective, that has ever appeared.

The study of the language of the feeble-minded will also be found most illuminating in a region usually characterized by darkness.

Finally the discussion of fccblc-mindcdness and dementia is quite as timely and enlightening as the rest.

We have included these various articles in this volume for two reasons: first, because they all contribute to our knowledge of the feeble-minded; and second, they all give us further illustration of the way Binet used his own Measuring Scale.

A word might be said in reference to the title. Binet and Simon's title for the first and longest section is "L'Intelligence des Imb�ciles" literally "The Intelligence of the Imbeciles" but they definitely state (page 10) that they refer to the entire group of subnormals.
