They were given to the subjects grouped in the regular teaching sections of the department of general engineering drawing, with careful general and specific directions and with classroom conditions as nearly normal as possible. The test sheets were all scored by the author and the original tabulations were so made up as to show the abso- Jute amount of work done correctly by each of the subjects for both the February and June test-series. Frum these original tables other summary tabulations were made showing: (1) for each subject the per cent efficiency (Feb- ruary and June), the gain in efficiency, the number and kind of tests in which gains were made; (2) for the entire training and control groups the median number of prob- lems solved and the median gains made, the number of subjects making a certain number of “Attempts” and the per cent of this number obtaining a certain number of “Rights”, the number of subjects gaining in each of the tests in both “Attempts” and “Rights”; (3) for the train- ing group (to isolate the cause of residual gain) the num- ber of subjects gaining in each test and the amount of gain of each subject in each test when the subjects are grouped in sub-sections; (4) for the training group the correla- tion of abilities involved in test and training series, Feb- ruary and June; (5) for the training group the effect of training on different grades of scholastic ability, showing the relative number of gainers among high-grade students and low-grade students when grouped according to scho- lastic ability in (@) mathematics and (b) English and modern languages; (6) for the training group the effect of training at different levels of maturity; (7) for the training group the correlation of scholastic ability in various college studies.
