| Summary: | "We live in what has been called the era of 'mass man,' a time when people are thought of as statistical averages and not as individuals. Big government, big business, big organization in general, in dealing with vast numbers of people have come to rely more and more on mechanical methods. Without doubt the result is greater over-all efficiency, but in the process the individual is digested by an electronic brain. One of the things that has helped school administrators deal with some of the problems created by such large numbers of pupils is the IQ test. Its use in schools is part of the same trend of mechanically organizing 'mass man.' Although the results of this often have negative effects upon the individual child, the schools have little choice in this matter, given the conditions imposed upon them. Individual parents do have a choice, however, and it is the purpose of this book to make them aware of why and how they can exercise this choice"--Introduction.
