Abstract
THE author has presented us with a very readable little book. He perhaps tries to make the subject of intelligence rather simpler than current opinion would justify. Intelligence is defined as the “power to become, aware of the necessity of certain causal relationship.” Whether the awareness of causation is exactly the same as intelligence is a matter of argument. However, Mr. Claremont is to be congratulated on a very refreshing presentation.
Intelligence and Mental Growth.
