THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE.

Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, Vice
Chairman OF the National Democratic
Committee, an accomplished and ex-
pert political manager, is going to
perform a public service. She says
that the best help the Democratic
women politicians can give the Demo-
cratic women voters is "to make a re-
statement of the thing the Demo-
cratic party stands for. The Demo-
cratic party has fundamental prin-
ciple. Tell it," Not only the Demo-
cratic women voters, but the voters on
both sides and on all sides need to be
told what is the fundamental principle
of the Democratic party, and OF the
Republican party as well. On what
one essential principle or policy are
either the Republicans or the Demo
Gratis united? What is the essential
common basis of union, if there is one
among them? What is the common
denominator of Mr.. Underwood and Mr.
Reed, Of Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. La Fol-
lette? Since State rights faded, wha

Expect What?
In addition 10 the question Of
what TO teach our children and how
20 teach them. IS the question OF
what 20 expect OF them" said Mr..
Brumbaugh In talking OF the work
which has been done during thls last
year
THE question is How much shall
we expect OF a child OF any given
age or in other words. What stand
ards shall be employed in neasur-
Ing the achievements OF our chill
cren -
"Our government has sometimes
been called the great experiment IN
democracy. likewise our school sys-
TEN has been called a great expert
meat IN education"
On the basis OF the experiments In
/ schools throughout the United
States. MT Brumbaugh has been
employing not only educational
measurement tests. but general in
telligence tests.
The educational measurement
work deals with tests for children to
determine the standing in subjects
taken. These are standardized tests
compiled from individual tests which
have been given in that grade all
over the country.
Work Is New.
ITO put the matter simply. II
Jack can spell correctly as many
words In a list as the average effort
OF several thousand other children
in the same grade under similar
conditions. we may justly conclude.
provided the words are properly
collected that Jack has exhibited a
satisfactory spelling ability for a lad
in his grade Arbitrary standards
cannot be set up. Actual perform
