Abstract
It was the purpose of this study (1) to compare the two groups, in certain specific characteristics and abilities; (2) to show that a difference existed between the two groups in such areas as: vita1 statistics, home environment, school record, intelligence, reading ability, and aptitude; (3) to present statistical evidence that a significant difference did exist between the two groups; and (4) to draw conclusions based upon the data which would serve as a basis for decision-making at the junior high level.
