HARRINGTON.

The Springfield Arithmetic Test of 1916
which was referred to in the issue of two
weeks ago Of the CHRoNICME, and which
was republished in the Every Evening Of
a recent date, was given to the Harring-
ton Public Schools last week, and as
Brooklyn, n. Y, in its Eighth Grade, ,and
Milford in its Eighth and Ninth Grades
made fine records, the results in Harring-
ton are particularly fattering. The same
tests of these old papers of more than
a haf-century ago, were given to the
Springfield, Mass. schools, and an average
of 65.5 was gotten; from Brooklyn II .27
resulted for its comparative grade, while
Milford, Delaware, public schools in the
ninth grade, got 74.S; one boy solving
every problem correctly.
This same ''test" was given to Harring-
ton High School last week, with the fol-
lowing result to a class of twenty-four in
the Ninth Grade. Number making 100,
was nineteen, and a class average of "a 2.
This result shows that Southern Delaware
is abreast and in the front rank along
educational lines. The names of the
pupils making 100 were as follows; Fred
Smith, Caroline Lane, Virginia Dicker-
son, Martha Dill, Violet Minner, Ethel
Cahall, Violet Anderson, Ira Ferry, Omer
