Summary edit

Description
English: Case B. — M. T. Boy ; 1 1 years old. Bright in many ways, but
impertinent, vulgar, obscene, and hard to manage. Recognized 
color and form, but knew nothing of the alphabet. Said : " There's 
something in my brain that keeps me from getting smart." Given 
a fair trial in kindergarten, was so brutal to little children that he 
had to be removed. In the school he proved an element equally 
disturbing, using everything he gained as an instrument of ill ; the 
more he knew the worse he grew, becoming absolutely lawless and 
incorrigible. 

Epilepsy also developed and with recurrence of spasms, his attacks 
of temper became so violent as to necessitate removal to strict cus- 
todial care, to prevent him harming himself and others. 

Third child ; born at full term ; difficult labor, but no instruments. 
Has 2 brothers and i sister living, normal. Father, an engineer, a 
dipsomaniac, aged 34, and mother 25, when M. was born.
