Adenoids and Diseased Tonsils: Their Effect on General Intelligence

"Adenoids and Diseased Tonsils: Their Effect on General Intelligence" by Margaret Cobb Rogers is a study from the early 1900s that asks if there's a connection between children's intelligence and problems with their adenoids and tonsils. The publication looks into whether these common childhood illnesses have an impact on kids' thinking skills. The author points out how important it is to use experiments to find out the truth, instead of just relying on stories and opinions. She explains the method for the study, including gathering facts and figures and testing children's intelligence before and after they have surgery to fix their adenoids and tonsils. This study aims to add to the discussion about kids' health and how it affects their minds.
