said in part:
1.-THE demand for efficiency is char
acteristic of our modern social life. 1t
has been customary for many years to
define the aim of education in terms of
social efficiency. and more recently
there has come the demand that those
who are charged with the control of
our school measure or have measured
by, others the degree of success which
they have attained. All will admit
without argument that much that is
done by superintendent. principals
and teachers cannot be measured ac-
curately. To admit that thore are
varying degrees Of accuracy i'll meas
urement is not. however. to deny the
necessity for measurement Progress in
accuracy of measurement in education.
and one may add parenthetically. the
Justice of the verdict passed by those
who sit in judgment upon the work of
the educator, is to he achieved by APP
plying every available unit or critic
rion to the end that standards may be
derived and measurements refined.
