These are subtitled “Scales for the Study of Behavior Problems and Problem Tendencies in Children.” There is no example of the schedule itself. According to the authors, the scale was designed to measure the level of maladjustment of children. The materials were copyrighted by the World Book Company in 1930.

content: When he coauthored this test, Melvin E. Haggerty (1875-1937) was Dean of the College of Education at the University of Minnesota. Haggerty was born in Indiana and received both a B.A. (1902) and an M.A. (1907) from Indiana University. He then went on to Harvard University, where he earned another M.A. (1909) and a PhD. (1910). He went back to Indiana to teach for a time and then moved to the University of Minnesota in 1915, first as a professor and then, from 1920 until his death in 1937, as a dean. Another coauthor, Willard Clifford Olson (1899-1978), was director of research in child development at the University of Michigan. Olson received B.A. (1920), M.A. (1924), and PhD. (1926) from the University of Minnesota. He then went to the University of Michigan where he rose steadily through the faculty – he would become dean of education there in 1952. Ezra Koster Wickman (1895-1981) was associated with the Commonwealth Fund in New York City. Born in Nebraska, he seems to have begun working as a psychologist for the child guidance clinics sponsored by the National Program for Mental Hygiene of the Commonwealth Fund in the 1920s and remained with the organization at least into the 1950s.
