The concept, the average child, is indispensable, but 233mm every competent study of groups of children, at any age say, ten or twelve years - has proved that no one child is like another. Studies of weight, height, grip, of sense or gans, of mental functions, have revealed coincidences here and there but in every kind of valid test, physical or men tal, we have found with the age-averages also individual variations within each group. One of the most important tasks of educational science, when we view education as a process of adjustment of environment, and the individual 1n physical, mental, and social aspects, may be resolved, in the last analysis, into that of describing and explaining the na ture, significance and treatment of individual differences.

In the study of the central tendencies in school of large masses of children by modern statistical methods, New Orleans has little that is new to report in the way of convenient statistical methods or of results. It should also be under stood that no claim is herein made that the procedure created in New Orleans for co-ordinating practically the efforts of many kinds of workers in behalf of the individual study of exceptional children is more than a successful, experimental demonstration of a sound principle, in application capable of improvements and wider use. In these notes summarizing the work of a year no excessive emphasis is intended upon the scientific value of the concrete individual studies presented. It is believed, aside from considerable benefits which have accrued indirectly to many unfortunate children, and aside from the intelligent public interest aroused in the educational problems which are centered about the extremely exceptional child, that it is worth while to make this permanent record of what is becoming known as the New Orleans procedure for studying exceptional children. The number of individual cases studied during the year is too small to warrant elaborate subdivisions and analysis of these concrete cases into types. In each case thoroughly studied, however, where all the desired data as planned have been collected systematically from parent, teacher, physician, psychologist and sociologist, and then summarized, a more nearly truthful statement of the child's condition and the causes leading thereto has been made than could possibly have been drawn by psychologist, physician, teacher, parent or sociologist working alone.
