THIS talk opens an exceptionally interesting series, of which the first part will be given this session, and the second in the autumn. These first six talks will deal with the development of mind and character in the child, treating of such matters as work and overwork, the influence of parents, brothers and sisters and friends, the nervous child and the problem child. The autumn session will deal with the adolescent.
All the three speakers who will take part in the series -Professor Burt, Dr. H. Crichton-Miller and Dr. W. A. Potts—are very prominent figures in the psychological world. Professor Burt, who gives the first two talks, is perhaps the greatest living expert on educational psychology, of which he is Professor at London University. He is Psychologist to the London County Council, and his book, ' The Young Delinquent,' is a standard work on child psychology.
