It is encouraging to see that Mrs. Ellen F. Pinsent has been appointed to serve on the commission to inquire into the needs and treatment of those persons who. Without being actual lunatics are feeble minded and to some extent incapacitated. Mrs. Pinsent, who lives near Birmingham, is a member of the special committee of the Birmingham School Board and also of the committee for examining the idiots, epileptics and feeble minded in Birmingham. She is also, if we are not mistaken, the author of that striking little novel, “No Place for Repentance,” which appeared some years ago.
