q1 · i? · review · r?

Expert reviewer's opinion in a 1922 Journal of Educational Psychology review section, judging that prior measurement books lack mathematical foundations and that "Professor Jones' new book,1 especially part II, will help fill this gap admirably." No data are offered; this is the reviewer's evaluative argument.

"Neither of these two books, however, supplies the mathematical foundation nor the refined methods which research students in psychology and education need for the extension of their very scientific work."
