Excerpt from The Conservation of the Child: A Manual of Clinical Psychology, Presenting the Examination and Treatment of Backward Children The people of this nation have been prodigal of all their resources. It was evident long ago to the thoughtful mind that the time was speedily approaching when we should both repent our extravagance and endeavor to institute such change in our procedure as to conserve what we formerly wasted. Whence arose in the past decade the nation-wide movement for the conservation of our natural resources. Economic stress led to this reform. It is well, even if it is confessedly late. In our greed to make easily a large sum of wealth we have wasted beyond recovery a much larger sum. Wisdom is becoming our heritage, but it has come with a limping gait. The same general truth applies to the conservation of our greatest and noblest asset - our children. We have given the child whose native endowments made easy its education a fairly creditable training. Those that did not readily lend themselves to the system of education as it was were cast aside as waste products of our civilization. We are now reaping the crop in shame. Our land is filled with all sorts of institutions, maintained at enormous cost, in which is crowded our army of mis fits. We cannot by legislative and philanthropic endeavor meet the rapidly growing demand. We have neglected the ounce of prevention and are feebly providing the pound of cure.
