Description:Excerpt from Archives of Psychology, Vol. 5 Two hundred and sixty-five children, including one hundred and eighty-three boys and eighty-two girls, were measured. They comprised about three fourths of the children from 9 years 0 months to 16 years 0 months who were, at the time of the investigation, public charges in a certain county. The selection was random except that none of the dependent children sent from the county to the state institution for the care of the feeble-minded were included, and that a few children under nine were tested who probably represented a superior selection from the seven-and eight-year olds. Apart from these, the only selective factor was the omission of some of the smaller institutions in toto from the inquiry. A child may, in the county in question, become a public charge by commitment by an officer of the poor-law on grounds of destitution, or by an officer of the courts on grounds of delinquency; but the line of distinction between the two classes is not at all sharp. The decisive factor is often simply whether the parents are more successful in getting justices to commit their children than in getting poor-law officers to do so. A comparison of the measurements of the children committed for delinquency with those committed for destitution shows no demonstrable difference either in the tests of abstract intellect or in the mechanical test. So we shall, from now on, for brevity's sake, refer to all these children as "dependent" children. The Tests Used The Stenquist Test of Mechanical Ability, or Construction Test The purpose of this test is to measure the child's mechanical ability, the aim being to get as far as possible away from dependence upon the child's ability to read and write and to deal with heard words.
