ten how to spell the word; innumer-
able extraneouS circumstances must
be eliminated before correct measure
of his penmanship can be made.
"The task before those working on
educational measurements and stand
ards" says DR.. w. S. Monroe, of the
University of Illinois, one Of the lead
ers in the movement, "is unusually
complex and difficult, but definite
progress has been made"
In this seemingly dull work in trlv'
ial statistics may be witnessed the
gradual approach of teaching to an
exact science. When that position is
reasonably attained the profession will
be definitely and decidedly benefited.

Teaching as An Exact Science

Though the increased use of meas
urement in education may not put
teaching among the exact sciences,
it will bring the profession nearer to
technical accuracy in getting results
Measurement in education has two
functions. 1t defines the precise edu-
cational objective; it exhibits the ex-
act degree in which that objective has
Been reached in individual cases
Teaching has suffered from much
vague standards and inaccurate meas
urements. To this lack much of the
economic depression of the profes
sion may be traced.
The business man, the engineer
and the lawyer know precisely what
they are after and definitely to what
degree they have attained it. 1t may
be measured in terms of money or in
tonnage or in jury's decision, but
it is definite. The teacher has not
this advantage. What teaching does
not accomplish in the large is phil
osophical question which cannot read
ily be reduced to a definite scale
What teaching should accomplish IS
however, far nearer to possible stan
dardization. In elementary schools
in particular there are exact process
ses to be taught, arithmetic, writing
spelling, reaalng, composition, which
can be standardized to high degree
There can be set up an objective
standard by which all work may be
Judged, so that there need no longer
be reliance on the teachers opinion
vague good" or "very good"
prejudiced "poor" perhaps, but the
teachers definite measurement ol
work. She would become in this
sense an educational measur OF
accountant.
Standards not Only make the pupil:
work measurable; they also make il
possible to measure a teachers eff
cheney. If one teacher can raise
pupil ninety points educationally in
week while another can raise him onl!
eighty points, other conditions being
equal, the first teachers efficlenc!
as compared to that of the seconc
teacher is nine to eight.
Exact measurements and grading
in respect to educational standards
are even more difficult, however, thar
the determination of standards. The
process of selection whereby the ex'
perimenter is enabld to masure just
one thing at time is battling. When
the pupil writes "dog" he brings to
focus a complex of operations which
do not in all cases refer to his aver
age ability in penmanship. He is
tired; he has sore hand. perhaps;
he does not see we'll; he has forgot

out molestation and II seems that
such a time has come.
This momentous occasion to the
Jew grew out of the world war and
was the gift of the allied nations
chiefly a gift OF the British Empire.
In this wonderful country OF ours
that belongs as much to the jew as
20 any other race of people there Will
be no hegira for Palestine, the ma
tional home of the Jews. These peo'
pie have abundant opportunities In
this country Their worship is not
molested, any official position Of the
country is open TO them, all the
branches of industry and trade are
open to them and there is no occa-
sion for their leaving this country
But there is an occasion for the
assembling there of the Jews from
many parts of the old world where
their liberties are interfered with and
in the establishment Of this national
home the people Of this century are
making history that will live for all
time to come.
