Many high school principals In
Indiana and other states will testi-
fy that consistently winning bas-
ketball teams contribute materially
to their professional standings in
their communities" DR.. Willard w.
Patty of Indiana university de-
clared in an address before the
measurements conference.
Asserts Judging Unfair
THE efficiency of the secondary
school principal is being judged I'M
fairly" DR.. Patty said. TOO fire.
quently trustees, school boards, sur
vey STATS and the patrons of the
school base their estimates of sue
cess or failure of the principal upon
the apparent success or failue,
judged by their own individual pref
udices, of one or a few activities for
which they hold the principal re-
sponsible."
DR.. Patty explained that a Sec
ondary school principal should be
| judged not by one incident alone,
such as good or unwise handling of
a disciplinary case, or because of
initiating some popular movement,
but by the skill and wisdom of his
methods Of administering all of the
activities for which he is re-
sponsible.
Dr.. Woody explained the results
Of Investigations resulting from
the testing program in arithmetic.
Discusses Arithmetic
The dominant purpose under
lying the launching of a general
testing program or a testing pro-
gram in a particular subject, at the
present stage Of development of the
testing movement, Is the improve
ment Of instruction" he said. I'm
a certain sense the purpose Of the
testing program may be said to be
appraisal through comparison of the
ascertained levels of achievement,
but the main purpose Is not usually
in the comparisons. The main in
terest lies in diagnosis of the
strengths and weaknesses OF the
particular school unit concerned and
In suggestions obtained for improv-
ing the situation portrayed"
