Dp. MacGregor's Report.
The following 13 the conclusion of Dr MaeGregor'a report on hospitals, lunatic asylums and charitable aid boards : -" I venture to agree with President Alexander Johnson, of the National Congress of America last year, that the time has come when every civilised State must say to the degenerate, • I have tried punishing, curing, reforming you, and I have failed ; you are incurable, a degenerate, a being unfit for free social life. Henceforth I shall care for you ; I will feed and clothe you, and give you a reasonably comfortable life. In return you will do the work I set for you, and yon will abstain from interference with your neighbour to his detriment ; and one other thinp you will abstain from—you will nc longer procreate your kind: you must ba the last among your feeb'r and degenerate family.
