A large part, if not all, of this misery and expense, " promised Howe,"could be gradually eradicated by sequestration or by sterilization, if the transmitter of the defect preferred the later[sic]." Howe suggested that authorities wait to discover a ~~~~ person and then go back and get the rest of his family.

The word is "blind." or "blindness".

Yep, they were after not only the completely blind, but the partially blind, all the way down to people who just wore glasses. I kid you not! They try to put bills for this this through various legislatures in the States. This was America, not Nazi Germany remember..
