Excerpt from Vocabulary Studies, Vol. 1

The following treatise on Vocabulary Studies was prepared, in the main, as a partial requirement for the degree of Master of Arts at Colorado College, and was submitted for approval in June, 1915. Since that date there have appeared several articles bearing upon the subject; likewise certain additional minor investigations have been conducted by the writer. Comment upon these articles and investigations appears from time to time in this treatise in the form of inter-paragraphical notes. It has been the writer's purpose to bring this discussion on vocabularies up to date.

The parenthetical numbers refer to the bibliography at the end of the treatise. Thus (1) refers to reference number 1, that is, Babbitt, E. H.; Pop. Sci. Mo.; Apr. 1907; 70; 378; A Vocabulary Test.

The experiments undertaken by the writer were, for the most part, conducted during the spring months of 1915. They were carried on under the general direction of the Department of Psychology and Education at Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colo. The subjects tested were, with a few exceptions, students of Colorado College or of the Colorado Springs High School.
