The Educationally Retarded and Disadvantaged
How to Help Your Children (The Parents' Handbook)
Programs and Procedures For The Education of Gifted Children
Reply to Mr. Erickson
Erickson implies that Special-Training-Unit results allow no comparison of Negro-white ability because the Negroes represented a superior selection within their group (see 21: 1262). The S-T-U results are re-examined with emphasis on the similarity of trends of educational opportunity and rejection rates for Negroes and whites. Witty repeats his contention (see 20: 747) that intelligence tests do not predict learning ability of persons with restr…
What the War has Taught us About Adult Education
No time in history has witnessed so great a practical application of sound educational principles as has occurred during the period since the United States entered World War II. Maximum production in the shortest time possible became the goal of almost every educational enterprise. This emphasis on efficiency did not, however, limit the scope of the Army's educational efforts. From the start education was considered the of the Army, as General Br…

Nervous instability and genius: Some Conflicting Opinions
The Dogma and Biology of Human Inheritance
The Twenty-seventh Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education attempts to summarize the crucial evidence regarding the relative potency of heredity and environment, respectively, in determining mental capacity and scholastic ability. Original studies are presented also. Many of the conclusions in the Year book are based upon two hypotheses of very questionable validity, namely, (I) that mental tests measure general intelligence, …
Nervous instability and genius: Poetry and Fiction
Some compensatory mechanisms of the negro
The writers found that negro children tend to engage considerably more frequently than white children in church activities, playing school, writing poetry, social activities and boxing. It is probable that certain of the above play activities are compensatory in nature and that the racial differences in the extent to which they are participated in reflect differences in the need and possibility for obtaining substitute gratification. The feeling …
Sex differences in credulity
This paper shows graphically that there is a significant sex difference in regard to credulity as expressed in the attitudes of the sexes towards fortune-telling activities. It suggests that this sex difference may be due in part to woman's relatively great emotionality or to her restrictions. These forces may cause her more frequently than man to fall back upon feeling for guidance. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
An Interpretation of the Heredity Background of Two Groups of Mental Deviates
This paper presents the common pitfalls and limitations of attempts to determine the relative importance of heredity and environment in effecting individual differences in general mental ability. Data are given for two groups of children; one group is made up of children commonly alleged to be feebleminded (I. Q. 70 and below); the other is composed of children who are often termed geniuses (I. Q. 140 and above). Facts regarding the racial origin…
