The work of testing the defective children of the Bloomington graded schools was begun in January 1914 and was completed in May of the same year. Out of the total number of 1778 school children 286 were found to be defective, mentally. The binet-simon scale was used in the form in which it was revised by Dr. Henry H. Goddard, of the Training School of Vineland, New Jersey. From the teacher of each room was secured a list of the children whom she found to be, or at least suspect ed them to be, subnormal and unable to cope with the intelligence of the average child. The cloak rooms of the different buildings were turn ed into minature clinics, each of which was fitted up with a table, two chairs, and the different pieces of apparatus used in making thetests. As soon as one child was test ed, he was asked to tell the next child on the list to come down to the room. The average time taken to test the younger children was twenty minutes, and usually from thirty to thirty five minutes was consumed in testing the larger ones.
