s, or removal of
their names from the register on probation, but that in no
case should the operation be performed without the consent of
parents or guardians of the persons concerned.

(15.) The Committee consider that the persons so operated upon
and liberated should be released on probation and kept under
supervision for a reasonable period, and that they should be
returned to institutional care if found to be leading an
immoral life, or unable to support themselves, or for any
other reason which the Eugenic Board may consider sufficient.

(16.) The Committee consider that marriage with any registered
person should be made illegal, and that it should be an
indictable offence for any person to have carnal knowledge of
any registered person. It should also be provided that any
parent or guardian who facilitates or negligently allows any
registered person to have carnal knowledge of another person
shall be guilty of an indictable offence.

(17.) In view of the fact that feeble-minded persons and
others likely to become a burden on the community have in the
past been introduced from overseas, the Committee recommend
that, in addition to the precautions already taken in regard
to assisted immigrants, inquiry should be made into the family
history, especially as to whether it discloses any cases of
insanity, epilepsy, or feeble-mindedness, and that applicants
unable to produce satisfactory evidence on this point should
be excluded. The Committee are further of the opinion that
closer supervision should be exercised over persons who come
as ordinary passengers with the intention of remaining in the
Dominion.

offences are embodied in the first part of this report.

The origin of the inquiry, in so far as it concerns the care and
treatment of mental degenerates and sexual offenders who appear before
the Courts, is
