BACKS CRITICISM
OF COLLEGE CLUB
ON School TESTS
Mrs. Agnes C. Weaver Supple
ments Questions as TO Cor
rectneSs of Supt. kinney'S
Figures

"Irreconcilable" are two sets OF fig
ures dealing with spelling tests in the
public schools. says Mrs. Agnes c.
Weaver OF the College Club in a state
ment today. The statement adds to the
College Clubs criticism Of Superin.
tendent Kinney's report to the COVER
nor. news OF which was published in
Saturdays Bulletin. II is as fol-
lows:
"The preparation Of trustworthy
statistics is not a side job, TO be sand
wiched in to the small leisure OF an
other vocation. AS the superintend-
ent OF public instruction points out in
his recent Report, page 2, the sugar
mills employ a chemist TO test con-
stantly the sugar content Of the juice,
not aIloting the work TO the general
manager or his head luna. The chem
ist has no interest in his findings, ex-
cept their accuracy; how much greater
the need OF trained skill in discover
ing and making plain the many factors
In so complex a social problem as an
efficient school system than in prob
lem Of organic chemistry.
"If the legislature appropriates
money for a federal survey, the terri
tory may well rest assured that the
strangers sent here by the govern
ment of the United States to tabulate
results will be trained statisticians,
as nearly accurate as any men can be,
absolutely free from personal bias. II
will be no amateur estimate by the
manager Of his own handling of plan
tation accounts.
''In- regard to the Spelling Test, the
official findings Of the Russell Sage
Foundation as quoted in the paper
published by it, and those as quoted
in the statement of the local report
are irTeconcilable.
1.-The scale clearly indicates what
may be expected from children in the
various grades examined; whereas, the
local report credits rs per cent of
correct spelling in the seventh and
eighth grades, the chart indicates 9S
and 100 per cent. 1t will be noted that
the local report credits grade 3 with
better spelling than grade 8.
