ABSTRACT
If we can assume that these thirty-three children exemplify the problem of behaviour disturbance within our city schools they will serve as a basis for a consideration of treatment and remedies. Any expectation of wholesale and spectacular cure will be dispelled when it is realized that a good proportion of them were certainly neurally impaired; to judge by the criterion of the presence of other kinds of impairment, probably as many as 80 per cent of the sample could be so described. To make the most parsimonious generalization, they were nearly all temperamentally ‘vulnerable’ children.
