L'autore propone un metodo scientifico utile ai docenti per misurare con precisione le capacità di apprendimento di ogni studente e la quantità dei contenuti che ha imparato, assegnando ai due aspetti di valutazione un valore oggettivo. Partendo dall'esperienza di applicazione del metodo ai bambini in età scolare, l'autore dimostra come esso possa essere applicato anche a studenti delle università. Il testo è diviso in due parti: nella prima è illustrato il lavoro preliminare di ricerca seguito da un'esposizione più specifica del metodo e dei suoi principi teorici. La seconda parte ha un contenuto pratico nella quale sono indicati i criteri di valutazione dei test, suddivisi nelle principali materie all'epoca studiate nei college americani. L'opera è il risultato del lavoro di ricerca sperimentale condotto dall'autore grazie al quale ha conseguito il suo secondo titolo accademico presso l'Università della Columbia, nel 1922.

The 618 documents in this volume span 1 September 1819 to 31 May 1820. Jefferson suffers from a “colic,” recovery from which requires extensive rest and medication. He spends much time dealing with the immediate effects of the $20,000 addition to his debts resulting from his endorsement of notes for the bankrupt Wilson Cary Nicholas. Jefferson begins to correspond with his carpenter, the enslaved John Hemmings, as Hemmings undertakes maintenance and construction work at Poplar Forest. Jefferson and his allies in the state legislature obtain authorization for a $60,000 loan for the fledgling University of Virginia, the need for which becomes painfully clear when university workmen complain that they have not been paid during seven months of construction work. In the spring of 1820, following congressional discussion leading to the Missouri Compromise, Jefferson writes that the debate, “like a fire bell in the night, awakened and filled me with terror,” and that with regard to slavery, Americans have “the wolf by the ear, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go.”
