: The Courts Standard Tests in arith-
metic, reading and writing are being
submitted to the pupils of the public
schools this year in all grades above
the second. The tests are for the pur-
pose of measuring the efficiency of the
entire school, not the efficiency of the
individual few. They are the tests
used as standards by the Teachers Col
lege of Columbia University and are
being scientifically submitted to thou
sands of school systems throughout the
United States.
By the tests the progress of the in
dividual pupil as we'll as that of the
class can be evidenced during the year,
progress~made from year to year will be
shown, the records being promoted with
the pupils; it will be possible to deter
mine when, where and how children
learn to add, subtract, etc.
1t is also novel way of comparing
the efficiency of school systems, of the
same grades in school system and of
the same grades in different school sys-
TENS. The tests are entirely scientific
and demonstrate to a nicely the eff
ficiency or lack of efficiency Of a sys-
tenn of SCI OILS.

Stoughton Too Strong for Locals.

Fully eight hundred witnessed the
closing football game of the season
when the Stoughton high school team
FLASHED with Edgerton at the Driving
Park Saturday afternoon. After the
0 to 0 game at Stoughton three weeks
ago, Slam Anderson took the training
OF the Stoughton team with special
view of winning the final struggle and
how we'll he succeeded is told in the
score of 26 to in Saturdays game.
And their whole town seemed alive to
the occasion too. A special train was
arranged to bring down about four
hundred rooters, who, led by the Mandt
Wagon Co. band, made quite an impos-
ing parade when they arrived here at
about 1:30 o'clock and marched up the
street to the grounds.
The first quarter was devoid of scor-
ing, the playing being confined mostly
to the center of the field and the ball
changing hands frequently. In the
second, however, two costly fumbles
by Edgerton permitted touchdown in
each instance Stoughton also worked
some effective forward passes so that
the half ended with the game practic-
ally won by them. In the second half
the home team came back strong and
settled down to better work. Sullivan,
Stoughton's right end, got by the line
for their fourth touchdown, and toward
the end of the game Edgerton pluckily
bucked the line for their only score.
The local team proved themselves
good losers and though somewhat dis
appointed at the score, rendered BAN
quet to the winners at the high school
gymnasium, served by the domestic
science classes.
