THE SCOPE OE MIND. By Alfred T. Schofield, Esq., 

 M.D., M.R.C.S.E.. etc., Chah-inun of the Council of 

 Parents' National Educational Union. 



A FULL concept of mind must be the basis of all true 

 physiolog-ico-psychical education, and also has a 

 direct bearing in its issues on every stage of life ; more 

 particularly on those earlier periods Avhen the character is 

 formed. And this is becoming of increasing importance 

 from the great interest that is being taken in the mental 

 development of children. It is not too mucli to say that 

 true education or true child-culture must l)e based on a full 

 and broad concept of mind. 



There can be no dcmbt that amongst psychologists the 

 concept is changing and enlarging. The causal force at 

 work is at present largely German, where the new is per- 

 haps accepted as the true with a greater facility than with 

 English scientists, who carry all their national stolidity and 

 doggedness into their studies, and still move on stereotyped 

 lines with proper reverence for established authority.
