content: Materials Included under this number are an example of the Haggerty-Olson-Wickman Behavior Rating Schedules, and Instructions for Using the Rating Scale. The Haggerty-Olson-Wickman Behavior Rating Schedules were written by M.E. Haggerty (Dean of the College of Education, University of Minnesota), W.C. Olson (Director of Research in Child Development, University of Michigan), and E.K. Wickman (The Commonwealth Fund, New York City). The pamphlet was published by the World Book Company in 1930 and provides a manual of directions as well as a behavior problem record and a behavior rating scale. The authors describe the purpose of the rating schedules as to fill the need for “a better understanding of child behavior, particularly undesirable behavior.” While they warned test takers that the scales could be misused and that there was no substitute for “good judgment of teachers or others who may essay to use these instruments,” the scales were nonetheless a useful tool when considered in conjunction with other tests and observation. The pamphlet is seventeen pages long and includes space to record the Class Record. There is also a blank copy of Form 1 of Instructions for Using the Rating Scale, which is similar to the same list in the Haggerty-Olson-Wickman Behavior Rating Schedules with some minor variations.
