Description

In this editorial, the author laments the fact that 'little has been done' to improve conditions for children with intellectual disabilities in Western Australia. The editorial mentions Mr Nat Harper, referring to his donation that enabled the government to purchase land for what would become the Nathaniel Harper Homes for children who, at the time this editorial was written (and for many years afterward), were housed in terrible conditions in the Claremont Mental Hospital.
