“…Piaget's claims about the child's mentality (Mead, 1972). In the field of child welfare and educational psychology, Bird T. Baldwin, chairman of the Committee on Child Development, sponsored by the National Research Council and the LSRM, as well as director of the Iowa Child Welfare Station, had kept up with Piaget's publications since 1921 (Baldwin, 1923(Baldwin, , 1924(Baldwin, , 1928.…”

The Hawthorne interview program between 1929 and 1932 was one of the most significant industrial studies in the United States. The Hawthorne researchers applied Jean Piaget's clinical method in their extensive interviews with tens of thousands of workers. Chiefly responsible for the program's methodology was Elton Mayo, an Australian who saw interviewing as a means to promote social cooperation. Previous discussions of the Hawthorne experiments have ignored the influence of Piaget in the social sciences. This article provides an account of Mayo's and the Hawthorne researchers' efforts to fuse Piaget's innovation with burgeoning American industrial psychology. The endeavor was not an isolated event but rather drew on the theories and practice of Janet-Piaget psychology, on the support of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Foundation, and on the discourse among social scientists about Piaget's work.

“…General Bibliographies: The bibliographies of Wilson (39-50) come first, both historically and for their content; continuous from 1898 to 1911, inclusive. Other series of reviews have been contributed by Baldwin and his associates (2)(3)(4), by Mitchell (24-26), by Monroe (27-31), by Smith (34-37), by the Child Study Association of America (9)(10)(11), and by the government Children's Bureau (12), and Bureau of Education (13,21,51,52). The present extensive use of bibliographies for study courses began with Hall (19), and continues today in normal school courses (38), the suggestions of the Federation for Child Study (17), and in materials gathered by librarians (13,33) in answer to many requests.…”

The following selection of bibliographical material on the various phases of child study is undertaken to indicate major trends and to synthesize the better material with a minimum of repetition and with a maximum of efficiency and availability. It is qualitative only. (Elaborate quantitative analyses of subject-matter are suggested by the study of physical development by Scammon,196.) Research begins much later than 1658, when Comenius published the first picture-book for children. Mateer (73) excellently summarizes the pioneer studies of Preyer, Lobisch, Tain, Perez, Sigismund, Tiedemann, Vierordt, etc. In America, from 1880 to this day, the tremendous and enthusiastic inspiration of G. Stanley Hall stands out. So great was his influence that only within the last ten years have new and independent methods of research flourished. Thomas and Thomas (96) show some of these later techniques and the changes in trend and problems to be faced. (The slowness of progress is reflected by the fact that not until 1900 was the first Juvenile Court set up-in Chicago.) The world war made possible wholesale measurement of " intelligence " in the army camps; the results are only now being adequately weighed and understood. Present studies are being more carefully thought out and are being carried on by groups having better provisions for intensive study and greater facility in securing adequate numbers of children with which to work. The majority of such groups are connected with large universities having adequate organization and operating modern nursery schools. 1 The general trend of subject matter has been quite definitely from the applied science of pedagogy to the pure science of psychological and sociological research, and from studies of a single child to the analysis of the behavior of children in large numbers and in groups.1 For details of Child Development Research Centers and their work see the July, 1930, issue of Child Study.
