a los ninos para juzgar bien acerca

Por 11lt11imo, la psicologia no res
ponde a sus promesas, sino a condi-

las conclusiones que Sc puede sacar
de ellos para la vida de todos los dias.
Cuando algunos curiosos hacen por
azar un experimento, no van mas le-

duda, por las excesivas esperanzas
que Sc habian puesto en- dicha apli-

son representatives en- Alemania, por
ejamplo, los profesores Jonas Cohn y
Paul Oesterreich-cada uno en- SUI es-
