This is one of the series of monographs on child development and brings "factual information to bear on the time-honored subject of the social versus the individualistic nature of man." The material was derived from an observational study of the aggressive, resistant and hostile behavior of children between 2 and 4 years of age as seen in the nursery schools and kindergartens. The experimental conditions were varied and well controlled and the authors' observations are of great interest from the sociological as well as psychologic aspects. The monograph is informative and provocative. There is a wealth of objective data which should aid our understanding of behavior patterns, both natural and culturally determined.
