Cheltenham Examiner: Wednesday 11th December 1907

Paper By Dr. Garrett: Discussion at the Child Study Association: Last evening, at a meeting of the Cheltenham Branch of the Child-Study Association, Dr. J. H. Garrett, Medical Officer of Health for the borough, read a paper on “The defective intelligence, and the importance of recognising and specially dealing with it is a great national problem.” … (long discussion of issues) … (causes, education of defective children …) … As a result of the endeavours of a few philanthropic men and women, some amount of voluntary supervision of the persons in question has been exercised in several places, particularly in Manchester and its neighbourhood, in Birmingham and in London. He was obliged to Mrs. Hume Pinsent and to Dr. Caroline O’Connor for much of the information and many suggestions in regard to this matter. … In Birmingham an After Care Sub-committee of the Education Committee had for some years been taking cognisance of the mental defectives after their discharge from school, endeavouring to obtain work for those capable of doing work, and to follow the others with a view of obtaining direct evidence of their after school care … (considerable detail of their work) …

In Birmingham it had been found that the only feasible plan for exercising adequate supervision was by collecting all the worst cases together in a resident colony, for the following reasons: — 1) To enable them to contribute to their own support: (2) to save them from vicious habits; (3) to save them from harsh treatment at home and in the streets; (4) to prevent them becoming drunkards, criminals, and prostitutes: (5) to prevent them giving birth to children who would only further burden the community. He gave statistics of the results of the efforts in Birmingham to find employment for these as free workers and drew the lesson that the business of dealing in a voluntary way with them was hopeless, and that it was absolutely necessary to take all into permanent public charge in industrial establishments or colonies. …
