Abstract
In this study the school-room behavior, arithmetic and spelling performance of 19 institutionalized elementary school children receiving amphetamine sulfate were analyzed. In most cases a single daily dose of 20 mg. was administered orally shortly after the patient arose in the morning. The effect on arithmetic performance was, in many instances, striking. School attitudes and behavior were favorably affected. The change in spelling performance was more variable.
