Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Iowa Studies in Psychology, Vol. 2 These statistics that have been Obtained in the laboratory have been supplemented by some tests made upon school children. As the account Of the latter occurs in fragments under the appropriate topics, it is necessary to state, in this introduction, how the data were Obtained. Six students in a university course in genetic psychology, under the direction Of the writer, made these tests upon chil dren in the public schools Of Iowa City during the spring term Of 1898. These students had previously pursued courses in psychology and pedagogy and undertook the investigation mainly for the sake Of the training. Ten boys and ten girls Of each age from six to fifteen, inclusive, were selected from a grammar school and a primary school. Mr. G. C. Pracker, the principal Of the grammar school, selected and graded the children. A fair distribution Of the Children was Obtained by selecting, from the registers, those whose birthdays fell nearest the day Of the appointment. The respective teachers invited them to come to the school rooms at different periods on Saturday mornings. They were received by a teacher who registered and guided them.
