nine o'clock but guests began to
arrive at 4;30 in the afternoon al

In working with feeble-minded

The psychologist places no limi-

read to children. "All kinds of
stories are good, either magma

ulate the imagination and afford
a notion of abstract thinking.
.'The child is entitled to the
story of his W particular race
