Excerpt from Admission and Discharge of Children: Monograph II, To Accompany Round Table Plan for Trustees of Institutions for Dependent Children In order to decide just what treatment is needed by the child, it is necessary to make a diagnosis, and this diagnosis can only be made efficiently through a careful and intelligent case study. This case study must be made by a trained and competent observer with the assistance of experts in medicine and psychology. It will involve a study of the family history of the child, including grandparents, parents, brothers, and sisters, in order to determine the facts of heredity and of home and family in¿uences affecting the child. It will involve also the environment, education, and training of the child himself. Efficient case study requires a complete medical examination, quite as thorough as would be required for life insurance. It should include the condition of all of the organs and functions of the body including eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin, and teeth, and a complete record should be made of the results. For all children above the age of three years there should be a psychological examination by the use of the binet-simon tests for the purpose of ascertaining as nearly as possible the mental endowment of the child. These tests should be checked 'by the observations of superintendents, matrons, and teachers who may have had the child under extended supervision. In the case of older children it is desirable to use additional tests, which have been devised for the determination of border line cases.
