q1 · i? · theoretical · r?
This is the reviewer's critical interpretation (type e), contrasting the content of standard primary readers with children's observed interests; it is an argument, not a tested result, and no data are printed.
"you would be impressed by the fact that some- one had sold the primary pedagogues a good sized gold brick; for the said pedagogues have resorted thoroughly to Mother Goose, fairy stories, repetitional animal and similar stories."
