SCHOOL STUDIES
new TYPE TEST
Teachers Believe Results
Are Representative.

Through the study of Odell's
book, 1.-THE Traditional Examination
and the New Type" teachers at
School d have reached the conclu-
sion that the new type tests, as ex-
planned in the book, are as reliable
as the old type tests, and that pro-
longed use of both new types select
ed show that the result obtained
are an indication of the children'S
knowledge.
Shortcomings were found regard
ing some points. There is little OPP
portunity for a display of the child's
initiative in attacking a problem
and several opportunities show up
for careless guessing on the part of
the student. This is not true in
some of the tests, however.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Simms Of
School 81, are planning a motor
trip through western coast states
as part of their vacation. Mrs.
Ethel Crissox will go to North Caro-
lima, Miss Alberta Grimm will COM
plete studies on her M. A. degree at
Columbia university, and Miss Doris
Holmes and Miss Ida Lobraico will
spend their vacation in New York
City. Miss Leila Buckley will be in
Texas and Miss Anna Rade will
take a "Trip through northern Europe.

PUPILS TRAVEL
ACROSS NATION
IN CLASS TEST
Geography Taught Students
at School al by Novel
Method.

A project in geography involving
trip across the United States by
automobile is being worked out by
one of the IA rooms at School Al.
The trip is being made from Indi-
annapolis to San Francisco over four
transcontinental highways, the Lin
coin, Old Trails, Southern National
and National Parks.
The class is divided into four sec
tons, each section taking a differ
ent route. Buses are the mode Of
travel. Stops are being made at
the largest cities and SIDE trips
taken to national parks and other
places Of interest.
At San Francisco the pupils will
board an imaginary ocean liner and
return by way Of the Panama canal
to New York City. From there each
child will choose his own route
home.
Product maps of the United States
have been made and the pupils have
studied them, to know what TO look
for in different localities.
Writing letters to chambers OF
commerce in different cities was
one of the features of the project
The response has resulted in large
collection of letters, pamphlets
booklets, pictures and maps de-
scribing the cities to be visited.
A system of analysis for arithme-
tic difficulties has been worked out
by Miss Lille Morris, GA teacher. On
a card the various difficulties are
listed, such as method, figuring,
decimal point, copying and Others
Each child analyses his own paper
and on his own slip places a mark
opposite the reason for his mistakes.
The teacher has found that the
children are becoming conscious OF
the causes for their mistakes and
are improving in their work.
