Zusammenfassung:	J. L. Rury (1968) presented evidence that environmental influences are important determinants of interstate black-white score differentials on the Army alpha examination. This article generalizes and extends these findings by constructing a series of educational-quality indices that test the inferential sturdiness of Rury's findings across a family of related models.
