Abstract

The chief concern of education today is how to help an individual realize his life's ultimate goal as completely as possible by urging and developing-his possibilities through the basis of what he has. In the very recent years the foremost problem in child training has been how to make the school fit the child rather than the child fit the school. The vital question is how to make a child's school work a part of his life and to bring into effect a congruity between "lesson learning", and experience. During the past ten years, education has become more of a science and less of a custom.2 Because of this, personal judgment must be replaced by objective measurement. We have been compelled to recognize differing abilities in children and to make provisions for such differences in our school programs. Intelligence testing is a means of finding out this variability.
