Diagram 1.-Comparison of intelligence distributions of Cleveland Workhouse and United States Draft Army.

Diagram 2.-Comparison of intelligence ratings, Warrensville Workhouse with United States Draft Army.

Diagram 1 shows the distribution of intelligence ratings of the Cleveland workhouse with the United States draft army. In Diagram 2 the same distribution is shown for whites and negroes separately.

These results would undoubtedly be lowered if ratings of the illiterate men were included, so that it may safely be said that the intelligence of these men at the Cleveland workhouse is somewhat below the draft army intelligence.
