Pillsbury, Scientific Monthly, 1921 We can picture the educational system as having a very important function as a selecting agency, a means of selecting the men of best intelligence from the deficient and mediocre. All are poured into the system at the bottom; the incapable are soon rejected or drop out after repeating various grades and pass into the ranks of unskilled labor.the more intelligent who are to be clerical workers pass into the high school; the most intelligent enter the universities whence they are selected for the professions.
