Abstract
The data for the present study were obtained from a test used in con nection with the educational program in a Civilian Conservation Corps Camp. In a camp of some two hundred young men it was found that a wide range of educational background was represented. A small percent of enrollees had only a fourth-grade education, others a fifth, and so on up the scale to high-school and college levels. Answers to the following questions were sought : 1. Is there an increase in performance with increase in grade level? For example, is the young man who completed the tenth grade any more capable in arithmetic and vocabulary than one who fin ished only the eighth grade ? 2. If there is an increase in performance per grade level, is the in crease gradual or irregular? 3. How does the ability of these adults compare with the ability of school pupils of corresponding grade levels?
