This astonishing verdict is that of Dr. Paul Schilder, Rasearch Pro- fessor at the New York University Medical College, who lectured on the "Alice" before the American Psycho- Analytic Association.

Before discussing the books, Dr. Schilder went into Lewis Carroll's own character, commenting on what is known of his childhood, in which he amused himself with snails and tonda as pets.

Dr. Schilder cited the fact that Lewis Carroll was a mathematician to explain his ruthlessness towards space and time." He took from bath "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-glass" detall after detall which he contended was illogical and distorted time and space or created n most unstable world..

He voiced his own preference for "Mother Goose" for children, be- cause the latter contained much less of the element of destructiveness. Ife contended that the crooked man, crooked mile, and so on, were much less harmful than some. of Lewis Carroll's weird distortions.
