The labors of Professor Terman and his co-workers at Stanford University in the critical examination and improvement of the Binet-Simon Scale for Measuring Intelligence are so well and so favorably known by psychologists and by the many users of the method that no words of editorial introduction are needed to call attention to the importance of the present monograph. The results of these labors are embodied in the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Scale. A general guide for the application of this Revision has been published elsewhere. In the present monograph, however, the reader is taken "behind the scenes," is shown the precise methods by which the Revision was made, the actual data on which it was based. There is introduced also an instructive discussion of a number of very salient questions: What is the nature of intelligence? How is intelligence distributed? What sex differences exist in intelligence? What is the relation between intelligence and social status? Between intelligence and school success? Is the intelligence quotient a valid measure? How shall the validity of any single test in an intelligence scale be determined? What principles should govern the assembling of tests into a system, or scale? These questions have more than a merely technical interest: they bear in many ways upon practical problems of school instruction and administration. The monograph should do much to stimulate and to clarify thinking, both in psychological and in pedagogical circles.

"The editor of this series has long held that an efficient teacher should know something as to the fundamental principles of child hygiene, and that a school principal should, in addition, know the fundamentals of schoolhouse hygiene. For schoolhouse hygiene we have, for some time, had a number of fairly serviceable texts, but of books relating to child development and the hygiene of instruction we have had but little in any form that teachers could use. Only recently may we be said to have come into the possession of such knowledge, and most of it is still locked up in medical and psychological journals and books"--Introduction.
