Epileptic Children.
In the other cases the fits occur at such infrequent intervals, and the children seem to be quite normal in the periods between the fits, that I have not taken steps to have them excluded, except for temporary periods.

Epilepsy is a disease which produces a progressive and marked
deterioration on the mental development. All these children, except
the boy who suffers from Minor Epilepsy, or Petit Mal, are all
backward in their mental condition. These children ought to
receive special care, education and treatment if they are to be
expected to become useful members of the community.
