INFLUENCE OF PHYSIQUE
Dr. Cyril Burt, a bis presentin address to the Psychology Section of the British Association at Liverpool on Sept. 14th, took for his subject. The Mental Differences between Individuals One of his most interesting argument was that Just as same men are too dull for their Jobs ac others are too clever
For nearly every type of employment, haald, there existed a certain“minimum of intelligence below which n inan was pretty sure to fail For many, if not most, there was also in all probability, an optimal upper limit. Hence, in the intersts of the employer and of the em pidyment, as well as of the employé anel the general community, it was a blunder always to pick the brightest candidate who applied for a given job. The worst misfits arose, not from forcing round pegs into Aquaro
holes, but from placing large "min-little-holes and small.
too big for them to file a nege in bole Dr. Burt deals with the tendency in the nower schools of psychology to trace antal derangements, particularly in their milder forms, almost exclusively to physical origins Those who desit dafle wich young children, he submitted, where the casual factors could be more readily ha ravelled, found it imposible to overlook the cooperation of such purely physical conditions, as rheumatism, chronic fatarth, formis, nasal obstruction in numerous. miner lesions of the brain, or the aler tion of toxines from internal foci or superficial sores.

The educational gence marked" part of this programme was already in execution. For the lowest section, the mentally deficient, we had begun to pro- vide snenial schools and residential homes. and thanks to the advance of indisidual phychology, the means of diagnosis were now exact and just. There was a similar but newer movement towards the institu: tion of special schools for the dull and backward. It was from this larger horde of moderate dullards that the bulk of our inefficient adults--criminals, paupers, mendicants, and the great army of the un- employable were ultimately derived. It would not do, however, to confine official assistance, solely to
inferior groups.
