the children, but also education, being certified for this purpose by the Board of Education.
Abnormal Children.—Under this category are included the following classes of children
—merely dull or backward, Mentally Defective (feeble-minded), Imbecile, Moral Defective, Idiot,
Physically Defective, Blind or Partially Blind, Deaf-mute or semi-mute or semi-deaf, and Epileptic.
