At the end of the second world war, in an attempt to deal with the resulting complex educational problems remaining as an aftermath of that catastrophe, aggravated by an influx of Italian immigrants into the small industrial town LaLouviére, one of the village magistrates, M. R. Roch, persuaded the people to permit the pupils of the primary school to be divided, not according to the quarter in which they resided, but into four groups in accordance with their intellectual aptitudes so that they might receive an education adequate to their ability, a unique enterprise for the time. This unique educational initiative provoked a long and complicated study of the reasons for this necessity which began in 1950 on the children born in 1944. From that moment each promotion of students of the same age was studied collectively and individually by pedagogical, psychological, and sociological methods. In this way knowledge,
In 1925, when this reviewer was attached as foreign assistant to the university psychiatric clinic at Sainte Anne, he made the acquaintance of a young psychiatrist who was destined to a brilliant future, becoming later Professeur agrégé at the medical faculty and medécin-chef de la Maison Nationale de Charenton, that famous hospital outside Paris, founded by Esquirol, which has counted on its staff many of the leading psychiatrists of France, such as Bayle, Moreau de Tours, Legrand du Saulle, Delasiauve, and many more. H. Baruk has made many important contributions to social and moral psychiatry but has been particularly interested in experimental biological investigation related to psychiatric disorders. In 1928, in collaboration with de Jong of Amsterdam, he produced experimental catatonia in animals by means of bulbocapnine. By 1934 his researches had attracted sufficient attention so that the Rockefeller Foundation established for him an experimental psychopharmacological laboratory in which

The oxytocic substance of appears to be calcium. Reduction of the calcium to a concentration equaling that of an artificial cerebrospinal fluid bathing the isolated uterus abolishes the oxytocic action and yet causes no destruction or removal of true posterior-lobe oxytocic principle. Properly preserved human ventricular and lumbar fluids of normal calcium concentration have an oxytocic effect. The melanophore-expanding effect of and serum may be due to differences between their calcium concentrations and those of artificial fluids used in the limb-perfusion method of assay.
Faced with a similar problem recently Eugene Kahn wrote: "The problem: how to write a review on a big book of Psychology and Psychiatry composed of 19 rapers by 21 authors (1 American, 1 Dutch, 14 Germans, 1 Swede, 4 Swiss) without boring the readers?" This book has 40 authors (32 French, three English, one Canadian, one Hollander, two Russian, and one Swiss). It is concerned with anomalies of the behavior of animals.

Ideals and Studies on the Psychology of Animals and Animal Psychiatry.—"The Concept of 'Animal Psychiatry"' by Henri Ey (29 pages). If, as is generally accepted, there is an animal psychology, this implies an animal psychopathology. Having established that the animal "psychoid" implies, with the idea of variation, that of anomalies, the author makes an analysis of the general concept of individual variations in order to extract the particular concept of pathological variations

This little booklet contains a detailed account of how to make a postmortem examination of the nervous system. The author is an excellent pathologist who has long had a special interest in the nervous system. A systematic procedure is outlined, and then variants are given and their applicability to special cases is discussed. As the author wisely states, each case must be planned individually. Even the removal of the central nervous organs cannot be left to a technician. In some cases the relations of the various intracranial organs to each other are all important; it is then necessary to inject the brainin situthrough the carotid arteries. This method preserves the form relations but would be improper for an infectious condition in which it is desired to identify the infectious agent. Even after the removal of the brain, its further handling depends on the individual conditions. In any case,
