Miss Jane Addams, when asked to express her opinion on the policy of extermination, said:
"I think society ought to preserve the weak and make them strong. There is no moral justification for killing one with feeble mind, and at the same time there is none for leaving him alone. The work of uplifting the weak must be carried on tirelessly and with increased vigor if anything substantial is to be accomplished. The method suggested by Professor Powers is entirely unjustifiable. Humane instinct is so highly developed that it would be impossible to execute such a plan."
