To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nevertheless, these data show conclu- sively that the hookworm children studied are on the average more retarded mentally than the non-hookworm children, and the heavily infected group is more retarded than the lightly infected group. But they do not conclusively support the in- ferences derived therefrom by Waite, wherein he concludes: 1. " The results bring to light clearly two features, namely, that hookworm infection produces in growing children severely arrested mental development, and con...siderable mental slug- gishness. " 2. " The duration of hookworm infection is important, be- cause the longer the infection persist the greater is the mental retardation. " 3. " The degree of hookworm infection, and therefore the amount of anemia, definitely influences the amount of re- tardation of mental development. " 4. " The most backward hookworm children invariably give the history of an early infection. " Considering Waite's first point, there arises the ever-present problem in interpretation of such data which he seems wholly to ignore, namely, how is anyone to know from any data which merely shows the hookworm group inferior in mental rating whether the inferiority is due to hookworm or whether because of their inferiority such children were of poor sanitary habits, thereby more exposed to the infection?
