A response stimulated by Garrett.

Responds to comments by H. E. Garrett (1969) that argue the case for Blacks being less intelligent than Whites. It is suggested that the values expressed in L. Witmer's (1909–1910) proposal that no child should be deprived of the chance for an education only because of intelligence scores are manifested in the concerns that psychologists have about the realization of the individual's potential.
