These experiments were carried out on school children at Madison at the suggestion of Professor Jastrow, with the object of testing the results of Porter at St. Louis. Porter found a marked tendency to a direct relation between weight and mental precocity; weight, he then argued, stood for motor ability, and hence a child increases in mental efficiency directly as he increases in motor ability. These conclusions have been seriously criticised.

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.
