Do swollen tonsils lower a child's test scores? Margaret Cobb Rogers examined more than three thousand schoolchildren, ages ten to fourteen across eight grades, comparing intelligence measurements of those with and without adenoids and diseased tonsils. Tables, comparisons, and cautious conclusions follow. A revealing episode in the early science of school testing. See medicine and measurement meet in the classroom.
