of the hospital stating the facts and
grounds for liis opinion supported

of the State.
The Justice continued:
“We have seen more than once
that the public welfare may call
upon the best citizens for their
lives. It would be strange if it
could not call upon those who al
ready sap the strength of the State
for these lesser sacrifices, often not
fvlt to be such by those concerned

3wamped with incompetence. It
is better for all the world, if instead
of waiting to execute degenerate
offspring for crime, or to let them
starve for their imbecility, society
can prevent those who are manifest
ly unfit from continuing their kind
The principle that sustains compuls

imbeciles are enough.”
