psychological clinic.
There il was found that the boys psychic
makeup was such that he would never dis
play much capacity for purely intellectual
work. On the other hand, he was found TO
have distinct aptitude for mechanical
processes.
Upon this discovery he was transferred
10 an institution where he would receive the
manual training for which he was specially
adapted. And thus he would be fitted, as
he never would have been in the ordinary
school, for a useful, happy life in later years.

might have completely broken down under

taken into account.

another may be disciplined into goodness,
third may need Doctors aid TO overcome

miracles OF reform-just as diagnostic edu-
cation alone can insure the efficient mental
development of the young and the fitting OF
them for the lifework TO which they are

Walker-and Labor

DiagnOstiC Education
BY II. ADDINGTON BRUCE
md
81

COME DAY perhaps we shall universally
~ have in our homes and our schools,
what Professor Lightner Wilmer has aptly
termed "diagnostc education" To slight
extent we have this now, but TO a lament
ably slight extent.
Yet until we have IL as n matter of gem
eral practice we need never expect 10 come
near attaining that ideal of social solidarity,
prosperity. and happiness TO which all right
thinking men aspire.
Diagnostic education means simply educa-
ton grounded in recognition Of individual
qualities and trends, aptitudes and lrnita-
tons. Ii insists that no one training system
can possibly meet the needs OF all children.
II calls for careful study OF every boy and
girl to determine how his and her moral and
intellectual development can best be pro-
NOTED. ..
In its simplest form we may illustrate
what diagnostic education involves by OBJ
serving, with Professor Wilmer:
Whenever parent determines, az a re-
suit Of observation and reflection, to punish
one child for a particular offense and not
TO punish another. or to mete out different
kinds OF punishment adapted 10 the indi-
vidual needs of different children. he has
recognized difference in the constituent
elements Of the children. He has made a
differential diagnosis"
And, illustrative of the application Of
diagnostic education to the schoolroom, a
concrete instance may be cited in the case
Of a small boy hopelessly backward in the
prescribed lessons of his class.
The teacher Of this boy might have been
content with exhorting, reproving, and pun
ishing him. Instead she took him to a
