Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mentally Defective Children The Binet-Simon tests of children's intelligence have been the subject of much discussion during the past few years, both in this country and in America. Much of this discussion seems to have been carried on, at times, without any knowledge of the original aim or purpose for which these tests were devised, and as if, so to speak, they were invented as a means for ascertaining the relative intellectual powers of all children, and so of affording to the teacher a ready and sure means of accurately classifying and grading the children under his charge. As a consequence, there is a tendency, in some quarters, to search for and to endeavour to establish some absolute standard or criterion of intelligence which shall be valid, irrespective of the nationality, or the class, or the particular environment of the child. It is hoped that the publication in translation of the work of Binet and Simon in which these tests first appeared, along with the complete series of tests as extended and revised during the lifetime of the former, will tend to remove this twofold misapprehension, and make the educationalist, as well as the wider public interested in social questions, acquainted with the real purpose which underlay the devisal or invention of the tests, and so enable all to perceive that their relative value, as measuring stages of intelligence, must be judged by the purpose for which they were devised.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dependent Delinquent and Defective Children of Delaware In response to an invitation extended by you to the Russell Sage Foundation, the writer has made a study of work for children in Delaware, and submits herewith a report based upon it. It was decided that the scope of the inquiry should be confined to dependent, delinquent, and defective children, cared for mainly in institutions or private foster homes. Organizations not included were those for children in public schools, hospitals, and in their own homes, such as the Settlements, Visiting Nurses Association, Hope Farm, and kindred organizations. The importance of the work done by the latter group can not be over-estimated; their omission was solely for reasons of expediency. The study, conducted over a period of six months, covered 15 organizations caring wholly for children and four others caring for adults and children. The report contains a somewhat detailed description of their work, a brief historical sketch of the beginning and development of children's work in Delaware, and some suggestions for its future improvement. The inquiry did not include an examination of the causes of dependency and delinquency which brought the children under the care of the organizations; this subject is to be treated, we are informed, in the report of another and separate study of Delaware children now being conducted by the Federal Children's Bureau.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Training of Defective Children Whether the problems to be solved in the recognition and appropriate treatment of mentally defective children are medical, educational, or custodial, or all three combined, is a question worthy of serious consideration. It has hitherto been quite generally assumed that mentally defective children should be and could be cared for satisfactorily by the public school system. In many school systems they are now provided for in special classes; in many others such children are still found in the regular classes for normal children. Hence, for the present at least, the problems involved in the care and training of mental defectives are practically public school problems and must be dealt with from the public school point of view. Unfortunately there is a notion widely prevalent within and without the teaching profession that special attention - sometimes a little of it, sometimes a good deal - bestowed by the regular teachers, will solve the problem and will make these mentally defective children normal. How completely erroneous this notion is Dr. Goddard makes plain in the present volume. Even when mentally defective children are segregated in separate classes - as in the interest of the normal children as well as in their own interest they should be - the notion just referred to is often responsible for the regime to which they are subjected; namely, the regime, usually with some modifications, to be sure, appropriate to normal pupils.

If the facts have sometimes been exaggerated, they are, nevertheless, startling enough to call for the most earnest efforts on the part of the teachers and students to understand them, and to mitigate the evil effects with as little less to the child as is possible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mentally Defective Child: Written Specially for School Teachers, and Others Interested in the Educational Treatment and After-Care of Mentally Defective School Children The question of mental deficiency, particularly as it affects school children, has quite recently assumed considerable importance. Members of Education Committees, Directors of Education, School Medical Officers, School Teachers, Members of Care or After-Care Committees, Members and Officers of Local Authorities formed under the provisions of the Mental Deficiency Act, 1913, and many others find themselves called upon to assist in discovering these sometimes difficult cases, and in devising means for their training, care and control. Though there are many excellent books written for the medical profession - from many of which indeed I have freely quoted in these pages - I do not know of any which have been specially written for the layman. The Central Association for the Care of the Mentally Defective recently inaugurated a highly successful Special Summer Course of training on this subject for School Teachers at Birmingham and, as part of this course, I was invited to give a series of short lectures on the medical aspect of the subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Defective Housing and the Growth of Children Houses is totally inadequate for the preser vation of health. The poetry of life does not exist for these dwellers in the rooms of our mean streets, which stretch for mile upon mile without variation in their squalid misery. In the East End of London, every here and there, there are squares where trees are planted. To allow of the trees living the houses are well set back, permitting the entry of sunlight and fresh air neces sary for the growth of the trees. Care is taken that the trees are planted at a sufficient distance from one another to prevent over crowding, which would stunt their growth. But in the dwellings where young life is to be brought up no such care is taken. Street upon street is crowded one upon another in apparently endless succession, to the exclusion of everything that makes for growth and health. We know that these conditions are inimical to health. An excellent criterion of the unhealthiness of the housing conditions is to be found in the incidence of tuberculosis, which increases in prevalence as the house accommoda tion becomes more limited and objectionable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sufficiency and Defects of the English Communion Office HE object which led to the enterprise of this subject was essentially practical. Considerable outcry had been raised against the interpolation into the service by the Celebrant of parts of the Unreformed Office. The outcry interpreted this action as throwing doubt or discredit on the Office of our Church. And this interpretation is justified by the open avowals of many who are addicted to this practice. They allege defect or deficiency in our Office. Others, indeed, without such allegation or conscious admission, defend their interpolations as conducing to greater fulness or richness. The object of this work in part'is to attempt to disprove the charges of insufficiency and to show the redundancy of such interpolations. The nature of the interpolations in View has been already defined. There is no reference to any private1 intercessions or devo tions of the Celebrant, but to the direct interpolation of portions of other Offices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations Upon the Natural History of Epidemic Diarrhoea The causative agencies from which springs the plentiful harvest of child mortality in large cities may be conceived as a felted mass of rootlets almost inextricably intertwined. Those of poverty, bad housing, bad feeding, and neglect, may be severally recognized, but the extent of their interrelations with actual respiratory and alimentary disease - those to which the greater part of the mortality is referred - can be traced only with difficulty. It is the object Of this work to aid ln the labour of cutting away the matrix and entangling fibres and to lay bare the hidden ramifications of at least one important causative agency - epidemic diarrhoea. This affection - if we accept provisionally the more novel and generally favoured conception. As to its nature - is revealed as something very like an ordinary infectious disease, and one which permeates all classes, while the excessive mortality it gathers round itself in urban centres must be regarded as something superadded, owing to the vicious circle it forms with those baneful conditions of slum life mentioned above. On the other hand, its peculiarly intimate association with the circum stances of domestic life, from the continual faecal pollution of the interior of the household by infants and others, tends to make it more so than other affections of the kind peculiarly a class disease, and an especial scourge of dirty neighbourhoods. Dirty towns may however be saved from excessive mortality by a high percentage of breast feeding. A notable point in the interesting comparison that can be drawn between diarrhoea and typhoid fever is that, in accordance with their peculiarly opposite age-incidence curves, the marked and habitual depositing of infectious excreta within the household in the former disease may make the question of water-closet versus conservancy pan a matter of far less importance than in the latter.
