That the slowest pupils, in normal health of body and mind, will complete the usual eight grades of the ele mentary school in not more than seven years; that the fastest will finish in not more than five years; that between these extremes, the rates are very evenly distributed; that, in consequence, pupils who enter school at 6 years Of age will complete the eight grades between the ages of 10 and 13 years.
