in the seventh grade can not get this
far-he has found deep water-or has
used up the amount of time allowed
before coming to the most difficult
part of the test.
The third test was in arithmetic
reasoning. 1t is very closely related
to both paragraph meaning, for the
word meaning-for instance a child
may be failing in arithmetic because
he can not read-can not get the
central thought, or he may be failing
in arithmetic because he does not rec
ognize words when he sees them.
Again he may fail in arithmetic be-
cause he is careless or has never care

plication tables. 1t is quite as impor-
tant to study child's test to find out
the kind of errors made as it is to
take his measurement in recording the
score. The first exercise in this test
was: "How many are three eggs and
two eggs ?" The child in the second
grade can answer this and the next
exercise. Gradually the problems get
harder, The last one was: eff the

these are important abilities. But
aside from our interest, how can we
use these results? To compare with
other counties-to see how we stand
in comparison with them? Surely
this is of value To compare one
school with another to see which is

that is of value. Most valuable of all,
