Children who through heredity, brain injury or various other causes are not equipped to keep pace in a competitive world - are they to be society’s unwitting castaways? This film gives a frank appraisal of the problem and shows methods of care and training being developed in special schools and institutions for the mentally disabled. (Awards: Columbus; New York)
