Sometimes unmarried convicts take a fancy to girls among the prison visitors, says Sociologist Hayner, "and are able to make the proper arrangements."

Sterling's agreements with I. G.

Dr. Catherine Strunk Amatruda, published a system of scientific tests for measuring and predicting the evolution of personality (Developmental Diagnosis; Hoeber; $6.50). Most of the doctors' prophecies have been subjected to proof, for their studies extend over a period of 20 years. The book tackles such problems as normal behavior, retarded mentality, convulsions, precocity, birth injury, home environments, adoption...
