angry can be checked by avoiding causes of anger. In extreme cases the storms of passion are so severe as to border upon Epilepsy. This proneness to passion occurs as frequently in the high-grade as in the low-grade cases. A very marked type is that of the unduly affectionate, apart from those who cannot control the sexual instinct. Such are generally of a low mental grade. They will caress a stranger as readily as they will their own mothers, fawning up and desiring to embrace people whom they have never previously seen. This is more common in girls than in boys. Yet another type is distinguished by excessive shyness. Tears and blushes follow upon the attraction to the child of any attention however kindly. When such children are pleased a hot flush occurs, just as it does when they are distressed. Such are rarely of a low type. They improve in proper circumstances, but do not gain the power to be at ease when spoken to. (I believe this to be quite distinct from the instinct to hide in the presence of a stranger, which some mothers advance as an evidence of shyness in their children. This instinct to hide, is generally associated with a low type of mental defect.) Another type of [obscured] lack of control is marked by absolute dumb stupidity, occurring without any ascertainable cause. Such cases are generally high-grade. They will be silent and give no sign of attention to what is said to them, sometimes for days together. It is a kind of aggravated sulkiness, but I believe it to be beyond the control of the child. It will continue until the attention is diverted. It is not unusual to find all or even several of these evidences of lack of control in any one case. Other types [obscured] could be instanced, but I will mention further only the most important of all:- the lack of power to resist the sexual impulse. This is far more common in women that in men; it shows itself in [obscured] girl [end]
