Abstract This biographical essay is designed to give a survey of Constantin Brunnerʼs early years, from his childhood and youth until the end of his student days, based on the available letters, manuscripts and published writings. A major focus is on Brunnerʼs intellectual development from protected child, spiritually shaped by Jewish orthodoxy, to aspiring religious scholar and finally to the secular philosopher known today. The article is therefore a contribution to a range of research topics: to the field of German-Jewish biography during the period of the German Empire; but also to the history of ideas, particularly in relation to the secularization of religious minorities. It also touches upon developments inside the Jewish community: the way different intellectual and religious currents are related to each other, the informal networks between Jewish intellectuals and how national (German or Jewish) identity is related to the Jewish self-image.

Childhood And Youth

To date, the work of Aboriginal early childhood educators in the mid-twentieth century has not been widely acknowledged. Nancy Barnes, nee Brumbie (1927–2012), exemplifies the strength and tenacity of Aboriginal Australians who had to negotiate their lives and work in white institutions and a society which denied them fundamental human rights. Nancy graduated from the Adelaide Kindergarten Training College in December 1956 as the first qualified Aboriginal kindergarten director in South Australia. Following on, she was the foundation director of Ida Standley Preschool in Alice Springs (1959–1962) then the first ‘regional director’ in the Kindergarten Union of South Australia. Based on traditional archival research and analysis of public documents and Barnes’ autobiography, the article begins with her childhood and youth as a domestic servant and then explores her career, political activism, experiences of racism and lifelong commitment to addressing inequalities between Aboriginal and white Australians through education.

The Village

John David Griffith Davies was born at Trellech, Mon., on 9 January 1899. His childhood and youth were spent at Trellech Vicarage where his father, the Rev. Thomas Davies, was incumbent. Thomas Davies was of Cardiganshire yeoman stock: he served his parish faithfully for forty years, enjoying the long tramps which his visiting involved, and relaxed in gardening and in reading the classics. He was nearly forty when ‘Jack’ was born, he was set in an uncompromising mould, and he kept his son at his books often when the boy would have preferred to be off with others: humorous and a good host he was in fact, with his stern standards, rather a frightening parent—but Davies spoke of him many times to me, and always with regard and affection. He was one of the early Fabians and later, for many years, Chairman of the Monmouthshire County Council. Jack’s mother, Margaret Ann Davies, came from Treforest, Glam.; she was the oldfashioned parson’s wife, with a strong matriarchal attitude towards the village. There were cheerful parties at the vicarage, and dances in the barn converted into a Parish Hall. Many of Jack’s young friends were sons of neighbouring parsons, lively fellows, mostly athletes, but Jack’s inferiors in the classroom. Griffith Davies went to Monmouth School where he did well in class and games, particularly Rugby football. He was greatly influenced there by Angus Buchanan, older than himself; their families were friends. Buchanan, a fine scholar and athlete, went to Jesus College, Oxford, and left for the 1914 war: he was severely wounded and blinded, winning the V.C. He returned to Oxford after the war and graduated in law; Davies, who was an unusual mixture of roughness, tenderness, energy, impetuosity and chivalry, took affectionate care of him there.

Constructions Of Childhood

If World War I has interested historians of the United States considerably less than other major wars, it is also true that children rank among the most neglected actors in the literature that exists on the topic. This essay challenges this limited understanding of the roles children and adolescents played in this transformative period by highlighting their importance in three different realms. It shows how childhood emerged as a contested resource in prewar debates over militarist versus pacifist education; examines the affective power of images of children—American as well as foreign—in U.S. wartime propaganda; and maps various social arenas in which the young engaged with the war on their own account. While constructions of childhood and youth as universally valid physical and developmental categories gained greater currency in the early twentieth century, investigations of young people in wartime reveal how much the realities of childhood and youth differed according to gender, class, race, region, and age.

The Central Nervous System

Background. Frequent abdominal pain (AP) in children and adolescents is often designated as functional gastrointestinal disorder. In contrast to research on psychological and social influences on the experience of AP in this population, psychophysiological features such as function of the autonomic nervous system, the central nervous system, or the endocrine system have rarely been studied.Methods. We conducted a systematic literature search for peer-reviewed journal articles referring to children with AP between 4 and 18 years. Studies on experimental baseline characteristics or reactivity of psychophysiological outcome parameters (autonomous nervous system, central nervous system, and endocrine parameters) were included.Key Results. Twelve of 18 included studies found psychophysiological differences between children with AP and healthy ones. These studies indicate a possible autonomic dysregulation and hypersensitivity of the central nervous system in children with AP following stimulation with stress or other intense stimuli. Mainly conflicting results were found regarding baseline comparisons of autonomic and endocrine parameters.Conclusions and Inferences. Frequent AP in children may be associated with an altered psychophysiological reaction on intense stimuli. It has to be considered that the current literature on psychophysiological characteristics of childhood AP is small and heterogeneous. In particular, multiparameter studies using validated experimental paradigms are lacking.
