content: By 1928, Grace H. Kent and David Shakow had decided to create two versions of the form board. The first or industrial model was designed for full-grown adolescent boys. It had a larger frame than the original Worcester form board and five recesses in different shapes. These held seven sets of blocks. Each set of blocks represented the same problem (e.g. filling spaces with a given number of pieces meeting with horizontal or vertical lines of division, filling a space with a given number of pieces meeting along a diagonal). The clinical model was smaller, also with five depressions, using the same shapes but arranged more compactly. This article, reprinted from <I>The Personnel Journal</I>, describes the two models.
