opportunity to bj-iim out the abili

them.
In every sehoorln Med ford there
hns heen found a number of child

various studies. These children,
who are normal or even above nor
mal mentally, have often been mis
judged by parents and teachers and
they die often even confused with
the real subnormal group. In
reality, they are working under a
decided disadvantage, on account
of their inability to adapt them
selves to our necessarily usual type
