practical importance to promote the development of public opinion
which would confirm the natural life functions of the child from before
birth until it is grown up. Please give me your suggestions on that idea.
Did you succeed in establishing at Leiston again? How is it going?
We are functioning full blast again in our lab, but I am so burdened

My dear Neill,
We had quite a bit of discussion here concerning the further
upkeep of the Journal. We now developed the following idea: We
would not have to stop the publication, and it could be broadened
considerably, if you and others would be willing to take care of your
specific field of work, editing your specific material. I hope very much
that you will be interested enough to help along. I imagine that educa
tional material, gathered from your school and your co-workers, as well
as material about the status of education in England in general, would
be interesting enough for you to be taken care of by you. Please inform
me how you feel about it, and whether you would like to do th is job
together with your co-workers for England.
I would take care of the natural scientific, orgone biophysical field.
I am conducting at present a seminar with about 16 educators from
various schools, about the problem of how the new-born child is met by
armored parents, nurses, etc. It is quite exciting what that does to life.
I hope very much that you find time for rest while building up anew
your old beloved school. Here are a few photos of my son.
