time in this fashion: 10 — 30 — 20, meaning 10 o'clock, 30 minutes, 

 20 seconds. This was subtracted from the time of beginning, 

 thus giving the time of doing the test. 



In compihng these results for visual vocabulary, the pupils 

 from 14 cities in grades 4, 6, and 8 were considered. These were 

 first thrown into groups determined by the particular score of the 

 paper in question. Thus, all papers which were scored for line 

 4 were placed in one group; those for line 5 in the next group, and 

 so on. For reasons noted on page 23 lines 10 and 11 were not 

 considered, but the persons credited with that score were re- 

 distributed.

How the time distribution falls out may be seen from Table 

 10, where the number of pupils scoring each line, their average 

 time, and the average time for each quartile may be seen. There 

 are students from each grade scoring for each line except that there 

 are no eighths of line 4 ability or below and no sixes below line 4. 

 In general, it is seen that there is no regular increase in the average 

 time for those who scored the higher marks. Lines 7, 8, 9, and
