Measuring the Child.
Dr. Schwegler emphasized the neces-
sity to study the individual child from
the standpoint of his physical as well
as his mental growth. His findings
so far seem to indicate that the child
with tendency to crime shows this
tendency In abnormal physical and
mental development. Extremes Of fear.
anger. deceit. treachery and pugnacity
are usually indicated by extremes in
physical development. DIR. Schwegler
SHOWS how by the "Binet-Simon Scale
of Measurements these abnormalities
in children may be detected.
