In his book on Les Enfants Anormaux, Binet collected the evidence available at that time (_77_, p. 140). He says: “Mme. Fuster, after a stay in Germany, where she visited some _Hilfsschulen_ and Hilfsklassen (literally, 'help-schools' and 'help-classes') made a communication to the _Société de l'Enfant_, from which it appears that in the case of 90 classes for defectives in Berlin, 70% to 75% of the defective pupils who were there became able to carry on a trade; 20% to 30% died in the course of study, or returned to their homes, or were sent to medical institutions for idiots. “According to a more recent inquiry, made under the auspices of M. de Gizycki at Berlin, and published in a book by Paul Dubois, 22% of the children were sent home or to asylums; 11% were apprenticed; 62% worked at occupations which required no knowledge and yielded little pay (laborers, crossing-sweepers, ragmen). If we add together these two last groups, we reach a proportion of 73% of defectives who have been made, or who have become more or less useful.... “Dr. Decroly has kindly arranged at our request a few figures relating to the occupational classification of the girls discharged from a special class in Brussels.... Finally, then, out of nineteen feeble-minded subjects, regarding whom particulars have been supplied, one-half, or 50%, have been apprenticed, or more than half, 75% if we count the defectives who 'work....' “Through the intervention of an inspector, M. Belot, we have inquired of twenty heads of schools what has become of the defectives whom they notified to us two years ago. We have made these inquiries with regard to sixty-six children only.... If we subtract the two first groups, those about whom the particulars are wanting, and those who have not yet left school, there remain twenty-seven children, of whom seventeen have been apprenticed, or 76%.... Now this proportion is, by an unexpected agreement, identical with that obtained in the classes of Berlin and Brussels.” A more recent report concerning the _Hilfsschulen_ in Berlin by Rector Fuchs is in close agreement. It indicates that from 70% to 80% of the former pupils of these schools make a living after they leave school. To compare with these reports indicating that about three-fourths of those leaving the special schools of Paris, Berlin and Brussels by social assistance attain occupational classifications, we have less favorable reports from Great Britain. Shuttleworth and Potts (_181_, p. 23) say:
