Western Daily Press: Friday 11th March 1910:

The Feeble-Minded: Mrs. E. L. Pinsent (sic), who was a member of the Royal Commission on the Feeble-minded, is lecturing in Bristol on Sunday evening, at the Independent Labour Party Hall, King Square Avenue. Her previous lecture, at the Council House, and reported at length in the “Western Daily Press,” was of great educational value to those present engaged in work among the pool and mentally defective and was warmly applauded. She is to deliver a similar lecture in connection with her crusade on this question, which is most effectively described by means of diagrams. Mrs. Pinsent is well known for her zeal in connection with the new Act recommended by the Royal Commission, for the “care and control of the mentally defective.”
