The article reports on the study conducted by the Subcommittee on Pupil Data concerning problems involved in the collection and utilization of information about pupils in Madison Elementary School District, Phoenix, Arizona. The study aims the encouragement of teachers to make optimum use of all available pupil data in pupil guidance, the development of an adequate testing program, and the promotion of other techniques for obtaining information about pupils. It also speculates that there is no difference between the predictive effectiveness on intelligence test scores under the two conditions, 1953 and 1956, in which data of the pupils were gathered. The results are presented and discussed.
