and conducted a special class and clinical examinations; indeed, all the courses offered by the department of education at the summer session, with two exceptions, fell within the field of modern clinical psychology. Colorado State Teachers College demonstrated the position which this work has attained by offering a one-week's course on growth and retardation as a part of its general course prescribed for all students. In addition, lectures on exceptional children were given to special sections by four different instructors. At Columbia University a course was offered in pathological psychology and one on the psychology of childhood and exceptional children. At Cornell University a course in mental and physical tests for school children might be said to be related to this work. Harvard University offered a course on the psychology of the abnormal; the University of Montana offered several courses on exceptional children, one of them by Miss Morrison, a consulting school psychologist of Hibbing, Minn. The University of Washington, Seattle, offered a course on the education of exceptional children; Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, offered a course on abnormal, backward, and feeble-minded children. The following list of the courses at all institutions of learning in this country which offer instruction on the psychology and pedagogy of exceptional children has been prepared because of the assistance which it may be expected to afford teachers in learning what kind of instruction may be secured. As far as possible the effort has been made to list all courses by title, indicating the number of hours and whether offered to college, graduate, or summer-school students. Where it is not otherwise stated, one hour means one hour a week, or one hour a day during the summer session of six weeks. COURSES IN THE PSYCHOLOGY AND PEDAGOGY OF EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN.
