The extent of the want, and the obligation of the State to supply it, can only be fully understood by a recognition of the magnitude of the evil which it 1s proposed to alleviate, and by considering the variety of conditions that exist under the general name of idiocy, and the social circumstances to which it is related 1n various ways. The magnitude of the evil has been fully shown, ' ln previous reports, to be second to no other of this nature in the State.
