Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS Among the recommendations of the authors of The University and Its Community for bringing the community in general into closer touch with the cultural and enriching influences of a university-type education, they recommend the establishment of Area or Community Colleges, some of which might be created from existing technical colleges and teachers' colleges. It is suggested that such institutions might develop courses leading to degrees as well as post-secondary vocational and professional courses, and community developmental studies. It is also suggested that the colleges should be organized as active centres of adult education. C. SANDERS, Professor of Education, University of Western Australia.

There are already so many textbooks in the area of child development that yet another general introduction to the subject needs some justification. Dr. Gabriel makes it clear in his Preface that his particular concern is with a descriptive and interpretative approach to personality development, and that his book is intended primarily for student teachers and teachers. It is within these limits that his work must be evaluated. The book is divided into four parts: I.
