Intelligence of Unmarried Mothers

چکیده
Many unfortunate girls find refuge each year in homes where they are cared for during the period of pregnancy. Every precaution is taken to give them the best of care, and furthermore, to protect them from the altogether too unsympathetic public. Much secrecy surounds their lives while in confinement. During the past four years 87 girls from one of these homes have been referred to the Juvenile Adjustment Agency for mental examinations. Each girl was given the Stanford-Binet test by one of the psycho-clinicians on the staff of the Agency.
