The Status of Mental Retardation Today with Emphasis on Services

Abstract

We print this article in memory of Arthur S. Hill, who dedicated his life to a career of furthering educational opportunities for exceptional children. This abstract is based on a paper presented by Mr. Hill at the 75th anniversary commemorative symposium of the Bancroft Schoot, Haddonfield, N. J., last May. At the time of his death, Arthur Hill was the director of St. John's Development Services for Children, Washington, D. C. He also served as a former chief of HEW's Section on Exceptional Children and Youth; educational director of UCP; and held offices in many professional organizations, including the presidency of our own Council for Exceptional Children
