 School psychology, MT. Ricciuti said, deals with human behavior, and his work with children has been devoted to studying reasons and causes in number of problems, in- cluding grade placement, failures, reading disability, placement of out of-town children, personality, social maladjustment and physical handi- caps.
 The speaker was introduced by Dr. Harold Parkinson, member of the Board of Education. Guests were School Comsrs. Harry Post and Per- ny Graicerstein. President Raymond E. Snyder announced the Lions Club will meet on Wednesday instead of Thursday, Thanksgiving day.
