If the workers have these qualities, early recognition and reversal of harmful trends are practicable; if they have not these qualities, no amount of psychological theorizing, sentimental concern or well-intentioned interference will avail to recognize trouble early and correct what is wrong. When the situation has been spotted as detrimental to the child, the main effort must be directed towards ensuring for the child an improved domestic and, it may be, scholastic and social milieu. This may range from referring him to the children’s officer, for placement away from home, to arranging psychiatric treatment for his mildly psychotic mother, or from special coaching in arithmetic and reading, to providing a permissive atmosphere with much opportunity for play and group activities with other children.","PeriodicalId":86095,"journal":{"name":"Journal.

It could be argued that even if grave defects had emerged as a result of the present system, the difficulties and animosities which beset its inception were sufficient excuse for such a compromise.

The chemist, the biologist and the bacteriologist have all teamed up with the engineer to investigate every angle of approach to a problem which becomes more and more complex as the waste waters from trade premises increase in volume and variety, and only too often contain new properties which are inhibitory to purification processes. This difficulty is only partly due to the Public Health (Drainage of Trade Premises) Act, 1937, which causes greater numbers of trade premises to be drained direct to the public sewers. Scientific advances in very many directions have influenced, changed, or created manufacturing processes, so that the wastes from the manufacturers’ premises have correspondingly changed, and inevitably the aggregate result is a more complex raw sewage. Scientific development has thus bestowed benefits on industry, but in so doing has created a serious problem. Although these difficulties caused by complexity of trade wastes are increasing, sewage works plants can successfully deal with nearly all of them, but only because the plants are better understood, and more closely watched,","PeriodicalId":86095,"journal":{"name":"Journal.
