This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 Excerpt: ...for the Irish group precisely the same results as are given in table 19 for the Hebrews. The average scores for the two racial groups are almost identical. This, of course, does not prove that there are no important differences in the mental functions which are measured by the Point Scale, for the one race might be distinctly superior to the other in certain respects while being inferior in other respects. It is therefore necessary to compare the average scores made by the two racial groups in each of the twenty tests. Such comparison is rendered easy by the arrangement of data in table 21, from which it appears that in tests three, five, eight, eleven, thirteen, eighteen, and nineteen the Hebrews do somewhat better than the Irish. With one or two exceptions, the differences are slight, and we do not find in the data furnished by these two racial groups the least justification for insistence that Irish and Hebrew pupils cannot be fairly judged by the same norms. We are inclined to suspect that, although our general averages do not indicate the intellectual superiority of either race over the other, the application of the point scale method to larger and more satisfactorily comparable groups of Irish and Hebrew children will reveal important differences in mental capacity. In this connection it is important to state that, whereas the Irish wholly escaped language difficulties, many of the Hebrews were of foreign parentage, and, although they had used English all their lives, had heard in their homes one or more other languages. It is therefore probable that the language difficulty is important, and possibly somewhat lowers their average score. For the selection of these racial groups and the construction of tables we wish to make acknowledgment here to Mr. H...
