sistance was rendered in many ways by Miss Cecile "White, Fellow 

 in Philosophy, by Mr. C. C. Stech, Fellow in Education, and by 

 Mr. Earl Moore, Technical Assistant in the Psychological Labora- 

 tory. Valuable advice and service have been given also by Pro- 

 fessors H. L. Smith and H. G. Childs, of the School of Education. 



This cooperative endeavor marks a new movement in the prog- 

 ress of education in Indiana. Growing out of this investigation 

 has come the suggestion for a permanent Bureau of Cooperative 

 Research connected with the University. At a recent meeting the 

 Board of Trustees authorized the formation of such a bureau, the 

 details of which were set forth in a recent University News-Letter 

 (Vol. II, No. 12). 



In the discussion which follows, little more is attempted than 

 to point out the salient facts shown by the tables and graphs. The 

 possible causes for high or low scores are numerous and complex, 

 and can hardly be deciphered from the data at hand. In Part II 

 an attempt is made to study two of the causes — namely, the time 

 of beginning, and the amount of time spent on the subject. If 

 results from the use of standardized tests continue to accumulate, 

 we should be able to evaluate numerous other conditions affecting 

 the psychology of learning.
