Note 34 — Chapter XIX · MEASURING RESULTS IN EDUCATION

In proceeding to the part of the study that is necessarily largely composed of tables, it may be well to state the position of the author regarding the partial interpretations offered in connection with the tables. It is that the entire tables give by far the best basis for conclusions; that for a thorough comprehension of the study they should be read quite as fully as any other part; and that they should be regarded as the most important source of information rather than the brief suggestive readings which are liable to give erroneous impressions, both because of the limitations of a single interpretation and the lack of space for anything like full exposition.
