RESULTS 



City Scores 



The scores of all the grades reported by 18 cities for both the 

 tests are shown in Tables 3 and 4. At the bottom of the table is 

 given the median scores for all the children. All the scores on this 

 table are translated into graphic form in Figures I and IV. In 

 these figures the grades are arranged in order from left to right. 

 The figures on the left ordinate indicate the successive steps of 

 difficulty. The median score of all the children is represented 

 by the heavy horizontal line showing an upward step at each 

 successive grade. At the extreme right is represented the score 

 made by 50 college students, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and 

 graduates.
