label: Description
content: At the time of the publication, Buswell was in the Department of Education at the University of Chicago and John was at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. Buswell and John hoped that their chart would be used to determine the areas of arithmetic in which a student required further work. It served as a “diagnosis” of problems rather than a “prognosis” of future achievement. In later years, Buswell and John collaborated on a series of arithmetic textbooks.
