Excerpt from The Development of Intelligence in Children: The Binet-Simon ScaleIt will seem an exaggeration to some to say that the world is talking Of the binet-simon Scale, but consider that the Vine land Laboratory alone, has without effort or advertisement dis tributed to date copies of the pamphlet describing the tests, and record blanks.' This in spite Of the fact that the same matter has been freely published in numerous other places. The Scale is used in Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, China, and has recently been translated into Japanese and Turkish.The literature on the Scale has increased enormously, in 1914 there was already a bibliography Of 254 titles, yet in all this time no complete translation Of Binet's work on the Scale has appeared. A number Of criticisms have appeared, many of which could not have been written if Binet's complete discussion of his Scale had been available to the critics.It is little less than marvelous that the tests have had such a remarkable acceptance even in the mutilated form Of our con denesd abstract. That the Scale was so eminently useful in this abbreviated form shows the masterly work of the authors.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
