This study aimed to find out in what particular reading skills boys are better than girls, or vice versa; in what particular reading skill each sex is weakest; and what skill each sex has acquired mastery. The purpose of this investigation, in short, was to find out the comparative abilities and achievements of boys and girls. To accomplish the research, the investigator made the study of the boys’ and girls’ ratings in English for four school years from 1961-1964. The means, the standard deviations, the standard error of the means, and certain t-ratios were computed. The results served as a basis for comparing boys and girls in achievement English.

There are other ways than language by which man may effect communication with others, but when we speak of communication skills, we invariably think of language — and the various versions by which its use is made manifest. It seems to me that we belabor the point somewhat when we insist on saying again why we think that language is important, but if for no other reason, we must make sure that we all agree to certain assumptions and assertions as valid points of departure for our discussion. Today, our preoccupations in life are no less than they ever were. We still want to feel that man can transcend the limits of time and space and self-hood. Today, more than ever, we need the continuity of information that language provides, for communication (verbal communication, that is) — seems to be our last instrument of hope for peace and well-being in community life.
