Strona 3 - We are having a fine time. We found a little mouse in the trap. (b) Walter had a fine time on his vacation. He went fishing every day.
Strona 1 - ... afterwards he wrote an article for some periodical, and on receiving a liberal honorarium he produced the cheque, jokingly telling his father that he had earned it to prove that his prediction was a wrong one. This is a curious parallel to Darwin's statement that when he left school he was considered by his masters and by his father as "a very ordinary boy, rather below the common standard in intellect.
Strona 84 - If I were to buy 4 cents worth of candy and give the storekeeper 10 cents, how much money would I get back? b. If I were to buy 12 cents worth and gave the storekeeper 15 cents, how much would I get back?
Strona 81 - Very superior intelligence and "near" genius 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeblemindedness On the basis of this grouping it has been suggested that classes be organized.
Strona 4 - ... brighter" men have failed? Or who can wrest from a Robinson Crusoe situation a triumphant career? Or even he who can start a balking automobile abandoned by "superior" persons — men of higher IQ's? Or what shall we say for the lamented low intelligence of the New York boy who escaped from an institution for mental defectives and who before the authorities recaptured him had obtained and was holding a job paying him $37 per week as a foreman in a blacksmith shop? To say that there are but few...
Strona 5 - ... kinds of intelligence. As a matter of fact, it seems clear that intelligence may be of many kinds. Thus, for example, the campaign manager exhibits a quality differing sharply from that of the locomotive engineer; while the kind of intelligence required to lay out the construction work of a Woolworth Building is not very like that needed to write a forceful letter, and this in turn is not very like that employed in painting a great picture, or inventing a great machine such as the modern linotype....
Strona 96 - The American Library Association believes that every student from the elementary school through the university should learn to use and appreciate books and libraries, not only that he may study to advantage in school, but also that he may continue through adult life to benefit from the resources of libraries. To accomplish this there should be a supervisor of school libraries in every state and province, and a school librarian or supervisor for every school system — city, county, township or district....
Strona 4 - But our major contention is precisely that for many children the teachers' estimates and their academic record are merely an estimate of success in bookish tasks, and that here it is that fallacies of intelligence ratings creep in. It is submitted that these intelligence tests, at best, detect only those academic qualities of pupils which are noted by teachers, and which, it is freely granted, are of great importance for success in ordinary school curricula, but which do not constitute the whole...
Strona 185 - One interesting thing that stood out in this investigation, was that those children handicapped by personality difficulties and serious psychopathic conditions, came almost invariably from families where there were a great number of social maladjustments; while those children free from these handicaps came from the best type of families, most industrious and socially adjusted parents, where home conditions were good.
Strona 149 - We are all animals and never can cease to be; we were all children at our most impressionable age and can never get over that; our human ancestors have lived in savagery during practically the whole existence of the race, say five hundred thousand or a million years, and the primitive human mind is ever with us; finally, we are all born into an elaborate civilization, the constant pressure of which we can by no means escape.
