Abstract: THIS IS AN investigation of the extent to which reading skill as measured by the Iowa Silent Read ing Test is related to college achievement. Read ing skill will be compared with college aptitude and maturation as an attribute of college achieve ment. The subjects are 2048 college students who entered the Wharton School of Finance and Com merce of the University of Pennsylvania from the fall of 1938 to the fall of 1945 inclusive. 1 This includes 62 percent of all students who entered during this eight-year period who constitute all for whom we have records at the Reading Clinic.

TL;DR: The writer has found that clerks without any statistical background could follow the procedures suggested and could accurately compute zero-order correlation coefficients among sev eral variables.
Abstract: THE COMPUTATION of zero-order cor relation coefficients 1 among several variables cannot ordinarily be done by one who has not had considerable statistical training. The purpose of this paper is to present, in four steps, compu tational procedures simplified to the extent that anyone familiar with the use of electrical calcu lators can readily carry out the computation nec essary. The illustrative tables are presented in two parts, ?notation and example. The notation part illustrates the statistical processes, in general, for the benefit of the reader having a statistical background. The example part presents the ac tual numerical values obtained in following each step of the procedures. The writer has found that clerks without any statistical background could follow the proced ures suggested and could accurately compute zero-order correlation coefficients among sev eral variables.
