Purcell Speaks Dr. Roderick N. Purcell, director of special education in the Division of Mental Hygiene of the Department of Public Welfare, told of the problems encountered by the department in handling the mentally retarded child. He discussed the recognition of three groups of students, normal, superior and slow, in the Cleveto land public schools in 1936. Some measures were taken to accommodate all the groups but the effort failed because of lack of parental interest and later special classes for the slow puplis were organized outside the publie school framework.

Dr. Ranald Wolfe of the VA Hospital staff, summarized the discussion. He said that any eventuality has limited the capacity of persons need not cause us to neglect their potentialities. Fostering the activities of the mentally retarded gives society happiness and a sense of a job well done, Dr. Wolfe contended.
