Throughout the book the influence of Thorndike's work will be obvious to the student. No one man has had more to do with stimulating the measurement move ment in this country than Professor Thorndike. It is fitting, therefore, that the author should acknowledge his indebtedness in this place, both for the inspiration received from Professor Thorndike's writings and for his personal advice and encouragement. He also wishes to acknowledge the very valuable help rendered by Professor Peter Sandiford of Toronto University, who read the original manus'cript and made many important suggestions. Also, he takes pleasure in acknowledging here the great assistance rendered by his wife in pre paring the manuscript for the printer and in seeing the book through the press.
