Psychology Boards in Schools Suggested by Dr. Alfred Adler

Every school should have an advisory council of experts to study the maladjustments of pupils psychologically, Dr. Alfred Adler, famous Viennese psychologist, told the American Synagogue worshiping in the Pythian Temple Building, 135 West Seventieth Street, yesterday morning.

"In Vienna we have child-guidance clinics in which the maladjusted pupil appears before a trained group of teachers who treat his problems sympathetically and with understanding," Dr. Adler said. "Every effort is made to avoid antagonizing the child. We enlist the aid of the mother in this undertaking, with the object in view of creating a cooperative spirit between her and the teachers. In these clinics we avoid the imposition of rules on the child. Rules have no place in education."
