CUNNINGHAMCunningham was heavily involved in curriculum development in Victoria after WWI. He taught courses in educational psychology and experimental education at the Teacher's college and the University of Melbourne. Throughout the 1920s he directed the work of a 'psychological laboratory' at M.T.C. where he devised intelligence tests suitable for local use and conducted clinical work with 'problem' children. See, http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/cunningham-kenneth-stewart-9878. Although coming from a family of limited means himself, Cunningham claimed with his research that the children of working class families were 'unfit' for education beyond the primary school level. Unsurprisingly then he was also a member of the Eugenics Society of Victoria during the interwar period.
