Hello Niobium, Thank you for your second contribution to vol. 103, which focuses on Lewis Terman's experimental use, in 1916, of IQ and pedagogical testing of candidates for firemen and policemen. Given the early date of this article, it is not surprising to encounter many "conclusions" that, by today's standards would be considered outright racial prejudice: "Our informant stated that he expected No. 16 (IQ 83), to test much higher than he did. This individual is a street car conductor and is said to be very popular with his patrons because of his genial good nature, his interest in people and his memory for names. He is an Irishman and his racial and social traits have doubtless led his friends to overestimate his grade of intelligence." Lewis Terman
In PLing this selection, I fervently wished you had taken my advice, given you previously, to check the pronunciation of words with which you are not familiar.
Your current selection is titled "A Trial of Mental and Pedagogical Tests..." and, yet, throughout the selection, you mispronounce "pedagogical." I have checked both the American and British pronunciation of the word here:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/pedagogical
https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=fr&text=pedagogical&op=translate
Unless you can provide me with an internet source which supports your pronunciation of "pedagogical," I am going to ask you to fix this error. By my count, pedagogical appears in at least eleven spots... [00:2.5, 00:25.5, 00:46.0, 3:50, 7:20, 7:38, 17:33.5 18:47.0, 19:00, 29:43.5, 30:24] You will need to do your own search for this word!
At 12:00 you also mispronounce "quotients" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/pedagogical
Quotient is an important word in this monograph, given that Terman is concerned with IQ's (intelligence quotients). This pronunciation error needs to be corrected.
------------------------------------------
I am also providing you with a list of the other misreads which need correction before this reading can be marked pl ok.
page 18
at 00:46.0 Text reads "The experiment in question involved a civil service examination on standardized mental and pedagogical tests."
You said "standardized material..."
page 20
8:38.5 Text reads "No really serious opposition was met, and only in one case was there any question of invalidation of the test result due to the attitude of the subject."
What I hear is "due to the intention [or attention?] of the subject.
at 9:19, Text reads "...on the handling of a fire cart."
You say "fire chart"
page 26
20:58 Text reads " Text reads "On the other hand, the average correlation of mental age, vocabulary...." You said "mental health"
-----------------------------------
Your reading will be pl ok when pronunciation errors and misreads have been attended to.
Thank you,
The specialized vocabulary is quite interesting--words for each step or the curing processes and for each individual involved. I had to look up "kippers and bloaters" on Wikipedia! 
But, I'll have to admit there is a certain romance to "The Tube" in London since so many of the stops, like Paddington Station, have found their way into lore. Also thinking of the Chronicles of Narnia. But, the Londoners are very helpful.
