part of the study, it may be that the 1915 increase over 1914 

 may be partially accounted for by the fact that 9 of the cities 

 included in the 1915 test were also included in the 1914 test, 

 and doubtless had attempted during the interval to bring up 

 the work in arithmetic. The 1917 returns are from a wholly

 of the conditions in these cities compared with conditions in 

 the cities furnishing returns for 1914 and 1915 may reveal 

 some probable specific causes for the low" results this present 

 year. This very fact, however, is a clear instance of the pos-
