CITY PUPILS ARE
BETTER IN TESTS
Superior to Country Cousins"
in Eighth Grade Efficiency
Exams.

TRENTON, oct. Sin a statement
of the results of the State examina-
tions for eighth grade pupils better
known as efficiency tests. held during
the months of January, May and June
throughout the State. as required by
law, made public today by Commits
sioner of Education Calvin N. Kendall
and Assistant Commissioners George
A. Mirick, it is shown that in every
subject in which the eighth grade
pupils were tested those in the cities
obtained higher averages. than the
pupils of the rural communities.
AS an example, the statement says:
"In arithmetic more than AZ per cent.
of the pupils in cities received a per-
centage- of more than 80 and in the
territory outside of the cities only
little more than "a per cent. of the
pupils received 80 points or more. On
the other hand. of those who received
SO points or less in arithmetic, 20
were in the territory outside of the
cities and only II per cent. in cities"
The city scholars also outranl their
country cousins in spelling pro-
ficiepcy.
Seven reasons are advanced by the
commissioner and his assistant for
lAc5c ulnGiCHCCS III tCodit a Sb 10
given poorly equipped and trained
teachers. Second, too frequent
changes. more than half of those in
the one-room schools changing every
year in some counties. Third, poor
attendance, and it is stated that it is
impossible for a teacher to instruct
children if they are not in school.
Fourth, the situation in the ungraded
school, where the teacher has too
many classes.
A sad lack of equipment and APP
paratus for teaching is given as the
fifth reason Sixth, lack of enthu-
siasm in the small school and which
is found in the larger schools. The
seventh reason advanced is that there
is a lack of helpful supervision for
those teachers who need it, as the
county superintendent is too busy
with other duties to attend to this

Prince Oscar headed the column

Hughes and on one occasion called
him political jackass and a politi-

say that such appointments will do
more to disrupt the Democratic party

Baxter is a Republican. the letter
