q1 i? Records of physical changes, mental growth, school work, and social behavior give some criterion of institutional accomplishment, a phase the authors call one of the weakest in reformatory work. → William Healy and Augusta F. Bronner 1916

Evidence¶

William Healy and Augusta F. Bronner 1916¶

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

This is the authors' expert argument in the section on records, not an empirical test. They list three values: benefit to the individual, a criterion of institutional accomplishment, and accumulated knowledge for professional training of institutional workers.

"records of physical changes, mental growth, school work, and social behavior, when so made as to indicate the attainment or not of the ultimate purposes of the training, give some criterion of what the institution has been able to accomplish."
