Abstract
The findings reported in this paper supple ment results that were reviewed in a section of an article published in this Journal in December, 1939.* Since the date of that publication, which dealt with findings of an evaluation of newer educational procedures in the New York City elementary schools, the evaluation project** has been continued along various lines. One of the several meth ods of measurement that have been used con sists of a series of tests designed to measure critical thinking in the social studies, knowledge of current affairs, social beliefs and attitudes, and personality adjustment. These tests were devised by Wrightstone. Since the time of the report mentioned above, the series has been augmented by tests re lating to the natural sciences, including tests of Working Skills, Explaining Facts, Applying Generalizations, and a test of What Do You Believe? in the natural sci ences. The latter tests have been constructed by Goldman and Wrightstone and their associates.
