  • "This second part of the 39th National Society for the Study of Education "yearbook" contains original studies and experiments on the nature and nurturing of intelligence. The purpose of the National Society is to promote the investigation and discussion of educational questions. To this end it holds an annual meeting and publishes a series of yearbooks. This yearbook will be discussed at the St. Louis meeting of the Society to be held February 24-26, 1940. The individual studies cover a range of material on intelligence, the many aspects of intellectual development in children, the various effects of early education on intelligence, and the factors of nature, nurture, and environmental factors in intelligence. There are a few offerings on development among children with mental retardation, slow learners, as well as development among children with mothers who could be considered "feeble-minded.""
  • "In 1922 the Society published the Twenty-First Yearbook, entitled "Intelligence Tests and Their Use", and in 1928, the Twenty-Seventh Yearbook, entitled "Nature and Nurture"; Part I, "Their Influence upon Intelligence," and Part II, "Their Influence upon Achievement". In other yearbooks, as, for example, those dealing with "The Measurement of Educational Products", "The Education of Gifted Children", "Adapting the Schools to Individual Differences", "Educational Diagnosis", "The Grouping of Pupils", and "Child Development and the Curriculum", more or less extensive discussion is to be found concerning the nature and use of tests of intelligence and concerning the relative contributions of heredity and of environment to the making of adult mentality. On these accounts, accordingly, the present yearbook is not a first excursion for this Society into a terra incognita, however obscure the terrain and its boundaries may appear to remain after the current volume has been exhaustively inspected for guidance. More particularly this Thirty-Ninth Yearbook is to be regarded as sequential to the Twenty-Seventh Yearbook. This volume contains a clear statement of the social implications of our present knowledge of nature and nurture, as well as a technical discussion of intelligence."
