the classrooms. Tables 11, 12 and 13 reveal the results 

 of this attempt on the part of the teachers to estimate or 

 judge the mentality of their pupils allocated in groups 

 according to mental ability, the mental ability groups 

 having already been determined by a combination of 

 other teachers' judgments and an intelligence test. 



Table 11 should be read as follows : In all the acceler- 

 ated classes (11 in number) there were two pupils whose 

 I. Q. ranged from 60-69 who were judged by their teachers 

 to be equal in intelligence to the middle fifth of their 

 classes (both these pupils were judged in the highest fifth 

 in "industry" and "scholarship"). Of all the pupils in 

 the accelerated classes, there were fourteen pupils whose 

 I. Q. ranged from 70 to 79. One of these was judged by 

 his teacher to be of an intelligence equal to the lowest 

 fifth of his class, three as belonging to the next to the 

 lowest fifth, five as belonging in the average fifth, two 

 next to the highest fifth and three in the highest fifth. 

 The three judged to be in the highest fifth were also 

 judged to be in the highest fifth in "industry", the two 

 in next to the highest fifth were also judged to be in the 

 highest fifth in "industry" and "scholarship". It is 

 also significant to note, on the other hand, that of the two 

 pupils whose I. Q.'s are over 149, one was judged by the 

 teacher as in next to the highest fifth in "scholarship" 

 and in the average group in "industry"; the other was 

 judged to be in the first fifth in "scholarship", the first 

 fifth in "industry", but was given a mark of "A — " in 

 "Intelligence". (Xo provision had been made for an 

 "A — " rating: it was the teacher's method of drawing 

 attention to the fact that this pupil's intelligence was of 

 a quality inferior to his "industry" and "scholar- 

 ship".) 



In Table 12 a similar explanation is found in the de- 

 tailed reports of the unusual ratings shown in the Table ; 

 for example, the one pupil whose I. Q. is given as within 

 the range of 50-59 and was judged by his teacher to be in 

 the average fifth of his class in "scholarship" and in the 

 highest fifth of his class in "industry". Of the ten 

 pupils, whose I. Q.'s were within the range of 120-120, 

 seven were judged to be in the next to the lowest fifth in
