TEACHER UNION
RAPS TESTS

In a gentle. but firm letter to DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent

Union wants TO know why monitors
are placed over teachers marking
intelligence tests.
In particular. they want to SNOW
whether it is because of some Goubt
of their professional ethics" or "be.
cause the instructions for marking
the tests are not sufficiently clear
and standardized, and therefore re-
quire additional personal interpreta-
tions."
Questions Pointed
The Teachers Union, while it Is
deeply interested / nthe research
work" and wants to cooperate to
the fullest extent" admits it raises
question concerning marking the
tests in school buildings and under
supervision.
should not the marking Of a
standardized test be free from the
element of personal Judgment" the
union asked in it's letter. "IHas.
much as this work requires of the
teachers many hours, of work in
addition to their regular work
should pot the teachers. be given
school time in which to mark these
tests?"
BaIIOu Is Stirred
DIR. Ballou today broke his
customary silence to say that he
would submit a repor' to the board
on the question. He broke it
further to say that the tests are
standardized. Then there was just
more silence.
The Teachers Union may be the
main topic at the next board meet
ing, as a report is also due on the
unions protest against lenghtening
the school day in senior high
schools by a half hour.

The Washington times., 1929-06-21

Heretofore the Veterans Bureau
has been reviewing all claims for dis.
ability compensation originally filed
and rejected prior to June z, 1924.
solely on the basis Of a change in
compensation statutes since that
date. In many cases the bureau
found claims of veterans who were
entitled to compensation under the
World War veterans act, although
their claim had been denied under
the war risk insurance act.
This practice, McCarl held, was
not authorized or justified by the
terms of the statute. However, he
added he will not now disturb cases
passed upon by the bureau while
holding to that practice.
In the future. however, McCarl
said. the bureau should not do any.
thing about such claims in its files
unless there should be a claim filed
to "entitle to benefits Of Federal
statutes"
