Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Comparison of the Intelligence and Training of School Children in a Massachusetts Town
Just as Part I of this report was ready for the press there came an invitation to repeat the survey. Some reorganization had taken place as the result of the findings which had been reported, and the School Board was desirous of learning the result of these changes. It was considered worth while to delay this report pending the prepara tion of Part II, in order that the value of repeated measurements might be shown. The delay seems to have been justified, for Part II shows not only some changes which have come about as a result of the first survey, but also points out some new work which needs 'to be done in the schools.
The two reports are printed exactly as they were sent to the School Board, with the exception that the class lists containing eachpupil's record in the tests are omitted. A sample of them is shown in the appendix. The discussion, of course, has been made as non-tech nical as possible, since the reports were intended primarily for the lay reader. The expert in educational measurement or the executive in a large school system will perhaps find little to interest him in this re port. For those, however, who have felt that the paucity of pupils and the stringency of finances must deprive the small school system of the advantages of educational measurement we trust it may prove an inspiration and a guide.
