These were given by specialists in the college, supplemented by lectures from outside authorities on various subjects. Many of the moth ers took advantage of the opportunities offered by the child study clinic for the diagnosis and suggested treatment of difficult problems in behavior presented by invidual children. One hundred and sixty-seven were enrolled in the children's school an important phase of the work of' the college which gives the students an opportunity of seeing theories in child training put into actual practice and at the same time gives a large group of north shore children the adv~ntage of the finest type of modern educa~ion.
