SCHOOL SURVEY
Dr. it. W. hi Hii-k, who 1ms been
making a sltnly of ruttmU'il uiul uver
Ofeil pupils in he Mnit'nril public
hchuui-", ininlt' a pnitial report of his
three thiyV i-tutly ti an interested
ninli)'ii;'e. ilis study was based whol
ly tin "I In. Ay its scale. Hp mmle it
eleur that the problem of retnrdation
had ht'vn iretty well looked after
durinir the past years in the. Mod lord
schools, as the study showed 8 per
rent of the pupils under ne, 0!) per
tent at ne and -'t mt cent over njje.
Dr. De Husk at'tirnicd seliools that
maintained a standard in promotion
must have at least 2l) per cent over
a pod pupils. In comparing Med ford
with other citien, it was shown that
the (.'oneral nverape of uveraed pu
pils stands at X" per cent, nnd few
rities are able to reduce this average.
He read a report from the Avers sur
vey numbering some eighty cities
which showed the per nut of over
aged pupils to range from IJ.'i to 48
per cent.
Ho showed rlenrlv that chronolog
ically a child might be .10 years old,
but mentally only 0 years old. Ttiif
he claimed was due largely to im
proper foods and systemic poisoning
from decayed teeth and diseased ton
sils. In his mental tests Dr. De Husk
bnsetl his finding on the use of the
Hinct-Simon tests.
On account of hick of limn he was
unable to compile data on these tests
made, but promised to arrange the
data in tabulated form and send it
i'rom the university in a few days.
Dr. De Husk was certain that
Medford's low per cent of nvernged
pupils was due largely to the main
tenance of the "opportunity room,"
and has remarked a number of times
during his investigation of the splen
did construction work being accom
plished through this department.
Owing to the fact that he was com
pelled to return to the university
litis morning, Dr. De Husk has made
only a partial survey, hut promises to
return before the end of the year and
complete his report.
