Ala Metric Conversion

W. George Cathcart

The results of this little pilot study were so encouraging that we decided to experiment with a large class of students in their first year in the Education Faculty at the University of Alberta. Seventy-nine students participated. As they entered the large lecture hall, the first was sent to the right (blue side), the second to the left (red side) and so on.
