NATURE AND NURTURE

A. Y.

THOSE American pediatricians who are socially oriented may be more familiar with the beautifully expressed observations of 1,000 children born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, than with the emerging findings of a somewhat less ambitious but comparable attempt to follow the course of 670 children born on an island in the youngest state of their own country.
