Pre‐school intervention programmes for disadvantaged groups are long overdue in Australia, and the Project Enrichment of Childhood Programme reported in the February, 1974, issue is one example. However, the conceptual bases and methods on which such programmes are based are also overdue for critical evaluation. This note is a preliminary response to the Bourke Project and offers a wider and alternative set of references to those which have been published in connection with that programme. It is argued that there is confusion about means and ends in the reports of the Bourke Project, and that results claimed for the criterion tests used in the programme may not be valid with respect to the stated aims of the programme
