"WELL-BABY CLINICS"
RESEARCH WORK RESULTS Excellent work is carried out.by the "Well-Baby Olinics" in the United States. They are established near schools and cater for children from two to five years of age. Remarkably complete records of these children —their health, type of resistance to disease, home environment and so on —are kept so that when the child arrives at school age the teacher has its record to guide her. Dr. Anita Muhl, lecturer in psychiatry and criminology at the University of Melbourne, did research work for two years in connection with clinics in San Diego, and it was found there that the amount of nervousness among otherwiso well babies over two years of ago was amazing. The conclusion reached as a result of this research was that the child should be trained first to respond to intelligent discipline, secondly to develop selfcontrol without being repressed, thirdly j to face realities without having his creative imagination dimmed, and | fourthly, to accept responsibility for i his own mistakes without developing a j sense of inferiority or guilt.
