National Union of Women Workers: Care of the Feeble Minded: The quarterly meeting of the National Union of Women Workers was held on Thursday evening in the Y.M.C.A. Building, Derby, when the chair was taken by the Hon. Mrs. Gell, who, in her opening remarks, said the subject was fraught with the deepest interest, for many feeble-minded people who could not be properly looked after became either criminals or inebriates. …. She next called upon Mrs. Hume Pincent, of the Royal Commission from Birmingham, to address the meeting on “The care of the feeble-minded.”
