Abstract
IN this little book, Prof. C. W. Valentine has arranged a series of tests into a scale for assessing the 'intelligence' of children between eighteen months and eight years of age. For backward children the scale is recommended as suitable up to the age of eleven years. Tests are provided at half-yearly intervals up to the age of four, that is, during the period when mental growth is apparently more rapid, and thereafter at yearly intervals. Although the scale is intended chiefly for teachers, it is also meant for the use of that rara avis, an 'intelligent parent', eager to weigh the native talent of his off spring.
