tool as an aid in the prior process of search for causally relevant variables in a state of knowledge where the structure of the processes relating them is not fully known. With this latter approach, that statistical tool is only one such aid in the search: inferences from the differences at different grade levels are valuable; examination of withinand between-school components of variance is also valuable, and even examination of marginal distributions and zeroorder correlations is important. The policy advice they would give from their analysis is about expected benefits of various possible expenditures, deriving directly from their regression coefficients. Our policy-relevant results concern the prior information about what classes of variables must be taken into consideration, what is the order of magnitude of their differential effects (as they are currently differentially distributed over the population of children), and something about the structure of the process through which achievement is generated-with the results of the regression analysis playing only one part in those inferences
