Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? There is a correlation of excellence in successive years of study, strongest in the top and bottom groups and weakest in the medium group. → L. E. Frailey and C. M. Crane 1912
q2 i? A more perfect correlation exists between excellence in one study during succeeding years than between excellence in various studies of different nature. → L. E. Frailey and C. M. Crane 1912 (2)

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Comparison of the same 32 pupils' group standings in four successive years of English. The authors report 13 of 32 pupils held the same group all four years and no pupil appeared in all four groups, concluding there is "a correlation of excellence in successive years of study."
"In brief 13 out of 32 pupils were in the same group for all of the four years. Of the remaining 19, fourteen varied only from one group to a connected one in the rank scale, from I to II, II to ILL, etc. No pupil appeared in all four of the groups."

q2 · i? · associational · r1
The authors' direct comparison of the year-to-year English results with the cross-subject results for the same 32-pupil group, finding year-to-year standing the more stable of the two.
"And if we compare these results with those of our first problem, we find (5) that a more perfect correlation exists between excellence in one study during succeeding years than exists between excellence in various studies of different nature."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Pupil standing in one school subject correlates with standing in other subjects, most perfectly among the highest- and lowest-ranked pupils and least among pupils of medium ability — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- Pupils characteristically 'Bright' or 'Slow' in the early elementary grades remained in the same category in high school, in both graduate and non-graduate groups — related
