America Leads in Child Study Expert Claims Denver
Columbia university expert Justin Grierly asserts America is over two decades ahead of Europe in applying child psychology. His report compares orphanages day nurseries and institutions for dependent children across England Germany France Sweden Italy Ireland Scotland and Wales. He notes Europe tests only subnormal children while America tests normal children and cites far fewer psychological clinics in London than in the United States. Lack of funds he says slows European progress and many European countries have juvenile courts patterned after Denver’s first.
