Doctor Hohuon, at Harvard, examined the physical and mental characteristics of more than l.OH) boys and girls of ages ranging from eleven to fourteen yeara, lit order to make hla conclusions on the matter. Tbe material for these investigations was secured from the files of tbe growth stady conducted by the psychoeducatluual clinic of the Har vard Graduate School of which began In 1921 to measure the physical and mental development of more than 8,000 school children In tbe first and second grades. The same children have been ined once a year by the study. Doctor Ilobson took for his data the records of 622 boys and 350 girls at tbe age when they were growing the fastest. For boys, he found that the period was from twelve to fourteen years old; for girls, eleven to thirteen. Doctor Hobson's statistics, chosen from the extensive physical measurements tabulated by the growth stady, are In terms of height and weight The scholastic achievement records which Doctor Ilobson selected for his comparison were Gift of Spaech measured by standardized tests of Dear Old Lady Can your little gains In arithmetic and reading.

In the rapidity of mental development. While this view appears to have some basis In the laws of natural compensation, no scientific substantiation has been offered for It, according to Doctor Ilobson. The conclusions of his own research dispel the view. After working for three years on the statistics Doctor Ilobson found that "the rapidity of boys and girls' growth in stature and weight bears no significant relationship to their gains In arithmetic or reading achievement during this period."
