Excerpt from Journal of Psycho-Asthenics, Vol. 16: September, 1911; American Association for the Study of the Feeble-Minded Going into a new' work at a busy time, soon followed by a legislature which changed nearly all the law go'verning the insti tution, I have been kept very busy and what little plans I had made for this occasion have been entirely spoiled. Being a youngster in the work, it seemed manifestly improper for me to attempt to instruct the Older and wiser, in the work. I had planned, at least, to work up something for an address, as that seems to be the chief function Of this Office, but business has de Creed otherwise and I am compelled in order to carry out the custom Of a president's address to fill in with anything that comes to hand. What it might have been I can not say but will leave it to your imagination which I hope will deal kindly with it.
