Abstract
The ordinary child is one who is able to enter school at the age of six years and taught by a recent normal school graduate of ordinary mental ability is able with forty or more other children to do the pre¬ scribed work of the first year in not more than nine months, five days a week, attaining at the end of this period a proficiency adequate to begin the prescribed curriculum of the second grade. A child is not an ordinary child if he requires two years or more to do the prescribed work of the first grade; nor is he an ordinary child if he can do the prescribed work under the conditions in less than that time. A very bright child is one who has such a high measure of competency that he is able to learn more than the prescribed curriculum, within the prescribed time under the prescribed conditions.
