will leave certain work for the teach
ers and principal to carry out, and
to report on.

der observation. A comparison will
be made between other schools in
the state, and between other classes
in the local schools.

the board that it would be of benefit
to use certain other tests which have
been prepared. He spoke particularly
of the Curtis tests. Such tests could be
made on three other classes, and com
parsons could be drawn with the
class selected for the clinic. The su
perintendent told of. certain test.
