Abstract

The subjects were 683 Mexican children in Texas and New Mexico. Data secured showed the Mexican child as more like the American whites at the early ages, but less like them as they grow older, in educational achievement and intelligence. Both chronological age for a grade and educational retardation were high. A multiple correlation was found between intelligence and the factors of school placement and educational achievement.
