q1 · i? · theoretical · r1

An author's interpretive statement closing Robertson's note on training schools attached to normal schools. It is the article's own stated limitation about generalizing from available data, not an empirical finding; no statistics are printed.

"There are always many local conditions that make it difficult to com-pare such results very closely and it would be unfair to draw general conclusions from the data at hand."
