By the method of a questionnaire, 924 children were asked whether they can do or not do each of 44 items on techniques selected from daily living. The children belonged to fourth, fifth and sixth grades of elementary school and to first grade of junior high school. The results are as follows : 1. The average percentage for answers of "yes" is 67 in 44 techniques. Techniques of high percentage are comparatively simple skills. Low percentage ones are techniques which need judgement to condition or situation for practice and are now unnecessary for children. 2. Differences among school grades are seen for 30 techniques. Children in higher grades can do better than children in lower grades. 3. Differences between boys and girls are not seen in the average percentage for total techniques. However, difference among sex is partly seen. Boys show higher percentage for mechanical techniques and girls show higher percentage for domestic ones.
