Many of the points briefly referred to in this document are more fuU yconsidered in a hearing on the bill (H. R. 14798} to establish a laboratory for the study of the criminal, pauper, and defective classes, had by the writer before the Committee on the Judiciary and published by the order of the committee. ]NATURE OF BILLS. Bills, or amendments, to establish a laboratory to study the criminal, pauper, and defective classes have been introduced inC ongress byS enators Hoar, Nelson, Bacon, McC omas, Quay, Penrose, Money, and Pettigrew, and by Representatives Ray (N ew York) and Henry (C onnecticut). The general purpose of these bills is a sociologic and scientific study of the abnormal classes, it being understood that such study is a development of work already begun under the Federal Government. The term laboratory is employed in the broadest sense, not only including the use of instruments of precision, but the gathering of sociological data, especially as found in institutions for the abnormal classes; also investigations of anarchistic criminals, mob influence, and like phenomena; that especially the causes of social evils shall be sought out, with a view to lessening or preventing them; that these results and those of similar work shall be published from time to time. At present ourS tate institutions gather more or less data annually, but little use is made of them. It is proposed to combine and summarize these results, to encourage uniformity of method in collecting data, making the work more useful to the country at large.
