TEST EDUCATIONAL
AGE OF CHILDREN

Industrious Pupils Are Shown to
Exceed Chronology Average.
Tests to determine the educational
age of pupils we're given recently at
school No. 80, Bellefontaine and
Sixty-second streets, to all pupils
above the first grade.
The new Stanford achievement
test forms were used in ten divisions
covering questions on every subject
in the curriculum.
Results show that generally the
industrious pupils have educational
ages above their chronological ages.
School officials claim the tests are
fair criteria of child'S achieve
ment.
Interesting results are to be found
in the papers of some pupils. For
instance, one boy IS years of age
and in the eighth grade indicated
an educational age of 16 years and
8 months.
The tests were given for purpose
of pointing out weak spots in the
child's educational program, with
aim OF correcting faults.

TEACHERS WILL
SHARE FORMING
OF CURRICULUM
Miller Prepares Program to
Make Schedule Co.
Operative.

A program by which every teach
er, supervisor and administrator of
the indianapolis schools will have
part in arranging a proper curricu-
lum for pupils is being prepared
under direction of Charles r. Mil
Ter. city schools superintendent.
Explaining the Importance Of
committees to study this problem,
c. C. Underwood, elementary edu-
cation director said:
The teachers time must not be
used IN dealing with misplaced ma
terials. If 5 per cent of teachers
time is spent unwisely this means
waste of $21500O annually to tax
payers of Indianapolis
To Meet All Conditions
"One of the greatest wastes In
education today comes from having
pupils who differ widely in mental
capacity studying the same type of
materials in the same class" he said.
The purpose of the new program
is to build a curriculum to care fer
all varying conditions and to classify
each pupil so that he may be adj
justed to the materials given him
to study. Since the classroom teacher
is the one who must apply the ma
terials of the curricular program,
she is to be given a prominent part
in working it out here.
Committee Named
Various committees are to be ap-
pointed, only one of which is an
nounced at this time. This is the
reading committee, comprised of the
following members:
