An analysis was made of the effects of three methods of stimulation on the responses elicited from the first grade school children. Forty children (25 males and 15 females) who had defective articulation were used as the subjects. Three methods of stimulation were used: picture stimulus, auditory stimulus, and auditory-visual stimulus with ten selected consonant sounds. The children did not have the same number of articulatory errors when tested by the three methods. More errors were elicited from both males and females by the Picture Stimulus Method. This result was obtained with regard to the total errors and when the three methods were compared with regard to the initial, medial and final positions. Fewer errors were identified by the Auditory Stimulus Method. The least number of errors was found by the Auditory-Visual Stimulus Method.

The research has included 96 Roma elementary-school pupils from the first grade, 7 years and 6 months old on average, and 78 pre-school children, (6 years and 1 month old on average), out of which number there were 37 Roma pupils and 41 non-Roma pupils. The cognitive functioning has been tested with a battery consisted of 5 tests, which was based on the (adapted) Wechsler?s scales and the linguistic competence test. The results have shown a significant lagging of Roma children behind the control group and test norms. The Analyses of Covariance have pointed to a significant influence of the father?s educational background on the test score, but the difference between groups remained notable even when that variable was kept under control. However, the Item Analyses revealed a number of items that turned out to be evidently "unfair" toward Roma children, and their elimination contributed to the annulling of differences among groups in the Analyses of Covariance for a particular number of tests. The data has been interpreted by the authors as a proof of necessity and possibility to adapt tests for the needs of testing the educationally neglected children. The fact that the greatest differences have been noticed in the tests saturated with the factors of visual-motor coordination and memory has been justified by the authors with the Roma children?s lack of experience of manipulation with toys and possible attention deficit as a consequence of absence of stimulative environment.

An increased incidence of rubeola among first-grade Danbury school children in 1973 led to a study of seroimmunity to rubeola in a random sample of 60% of the first- and second-grade school children (299) from whom blood samples had been obtained in October 1972 during a voluntary meningococcal vaccination program. Immunization histories derived from physicians' statements on school entry were obtained from school health department records and included date of immunization. Seventy-five percent of the study group had received measles vaccine. Of those immunized prior to 11 months of age only half had an hemagglutinating inhibiting titer (HAI) of ≥5 five to seven years later. This antibody level correlates with immunity. Eighty-five to ninety percent of those immunized during or after the 11th month had an antibody titer of ≥5. Seventy-one percent of those never immunized also had an HAI titer of ≥5 indicating natural infection had occurred. As a result of this investigation, a community-wide program was initiated to vaccinate those who were more than 1 year old as well as reimmunize those who had been vaccinated before the 11th month in accord with current U.S. Public Health Service recommendations for measles immunization.
