Head "The Socially Inadequate; How Shall We Designate and Sort Them ?" by Harry H.Laughlin, Carnegie Institution, Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, in _American Journal of Sociology_, July, 1921.

This is an attempt to introduce a blanket term under which feeble-minded; insane; criminalistic, including delinquent and wayward; epileptic; inebriate, including drug habitues; diseased, including tuberculous, lepers, and others with chronic infectious diseases; blind, including all of seriously impaired vision; deaf, including those with seriously impaired hearing; deformed, including the crippled; and dependent, including orphans, old folks, soldiers and sailors in "homes," chronic charity-aided folk, paupers, and ne'er-do-wells, may be listed.

This article attempts to make a classification inclusive, yet subject to minute subheading, which may make reports more definite in listing human beings.
Is such an attempt wise, and if so, how would each member of this group classify the "socially inadequate ?"
