  abstract: "Practically all students in a course in statistics keep a notebook, but even a casual inspection reveals that often undue emphasis is given to a trivial unit, while a major topic receives superficial treatment. This outline has developed slowly over a period of time in an attempt to meet this difficulty and to develop in the student a functional and integrated knowledge of the subject. The present material is the result of a series of revisions of earlier forms used in the writer's classes and in those of Dr. H. E. Garrett at Columbia University and Dr. E. E. Cureton at Alabama Polytechnic Institute. A student should have some experience in computing the various statistics (1) in order to understand better the assumptions and to know when and where they may be justifiably used, (2) so that he can compute the measures for his own use, (3) because actual manipulation of the data helps him to remember these factors, and finally, (4) to gain an estimate of the time and cost of statistical work. Occasionally a graduate student who has had a course in statistics "to develop the ability to read and understand psychological and educational literature" comes with a problem involving forty variables and proposes to work out a multiple regression equation with a criterion and thirty-nine independent factors, or some other equally impractical problem. In order to reduce computation to a minimum, a single set of basic data is presented. Computations of the various formulas are based on these data, so that the results are cumulative; that is, the frequency distributions for the means are used for the medians, standard deviations for checking correlation plots, and so forth. A fundamental obligation of the instructor is to provide the student, as a matter of course, with the simplest forms of computation and whenever possible with check methods. Training should also be given in the planning of an experiment and the selection of the statistics to be employed before a single measur…
