The students in the Juneau ele- mentary school advance in know ledge of the subject matter cov- cred more rapidly than do the students in the average elementary schools in the United States. This is the only conclusion which it is possible to reach when records of achievement in the ele m n tary schools in Juneau are compared to the records of achievement made by students in other schools, &C., cording to Supt. w. K. Keller.
 Few parents or even teachers know the degree to which the work being done by their children ap- proximates the amount and accur- acy of the work which other chil- dren of the same age and grade should do, unless they constantly come in contact with the pupils from other schools. The best means of comparison of children and schools yet devised is through the Standardized Tests which are given to thousands of children in hundreds of schools, and the re- suits carefully tabulated From these results the grades which av- craze children of different ages or grades attain is determined, and used as standards of comparison. The tests are constantly in use in schools to check up" on the amount and quality of the work being done by the pupils as com pared to the pupils in other schools.
 The measurement of the progress of pupils in the Juneau elementary school was by means of the Stand ford Achievement Tests. This bat tery of tests" consists of nine minor tests, two of which are in arith- metic, three in reading, one in nature study and science, one in history, one in language, and one in spelling. It makes careful survey of all the more important subjects covered in the elementary school. Tests of thousands of school children were made with these tests before the scores which students should make were consid- cred accurate. The standards are now so accurate that child of nine years of age will show an ed- ucational age of nine years if making normal progress, or a child of B years, 6 months of age will show an educational age of 13 years, 6 months if making normal progress. If a child of thirteen years of age shows an educational age of fourteen years, six months on the test, it is said that he has made the same progress in school that a boy whose age is fourteen years, six months should have made.
 Following is summary of the tess given last May:
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-03-14

A similar test will be given again later in the year to test the pro gress of students during the present year.
 Care must be taken not to inter- pret the above scores as a measure of any one teachers ability to pro- duce good results in the classroom. The progress of every grade listed above is independent of every other grade. Only by following the progress of the same grade year by year may the results of this test be used in assisting to form an opinion of the work a teacher

"Lilliom" on the stage, just as Mol
mar wrote it, and that play has re-
manned in my memory box as a
delightfully."- charming story which
always results in a lot of argument.
The director of the movie has failed
to give you the Molnar Heaven"
as visualized by the chief character.
Instead, the director creates a rail-
road in the clouds, there Liliom is
tried, sent to the hot regions for
cleaning out process and then
brought back to earth years after
word to do one good neglected deed.
And the director had the nerve to
allow Liliom to swipe Gabriel's horn
so his little daughter might toot on
it. Oh, hum and many so.
A bunch Of money has been spent
on the production but it has gone
wrong. Here is not NIolnar, but just
another talker and one flat caused
me to laugh at most of it.
Charles Farrell has been most
terribly miscast. He is no more the
Molnar OF Liliom than a light
thunder shower resembles a cyclone.
After seeing Farrell's conception of
Liliom, l appreciate the rumor more
than ever that Janet Gaynor fatty
refused to work with Farrell in this
picture.
The only performs in the entire
movie who has caught the meaning
of Molnar is Rose Hobart as Julie
Her Julie is an appealing little no
body, who fails to inspire in Liliom
great appreciation for romance
Here is a haunting performance of
fine beauty. 1t is the only salts
factory thing from my standpoint in
the entire movie

away from being anything like
favorable.

ct gave it to my children for
colds and children's ailments. 1t
is very helpful. l took it myself
for constipation and indigestion.
Il used to have very severe head
aches that would leave me weak
and trembly. I found that Black
Draught relieves this, SO 1 do not
let myself get without it. Black
Draught has saved me a lot of
needless suffering. I am glad to
recommend it to my friends ana
neighbors."
Thedford's Black Draught is
purely vegetable cathartic or laxa-
tive medicine, composed of selected
medicinal herbs and roots. Black
Draught is finely powdered, which
enables the juices of the stomach to
extract its medicinal properties in
an easy. natural way.
This medicine has been in use
since 1885. with constantly increas-
ing popularity because of the good
it has done to the men, women and
children who have taken it.

boy, whose body was found in a

clings to his frozen face expressions,

I received my biggest laughs, and
there are many in this movie. is
when Keaton, in his dumb way,

proved interesting because it is a
talkie.
Gary Cooper, as the hero, is rather
disappointing to me. Cooper looks
the part, all right, but when he talks
there is a stiffness about him that
is not convincing and natural. He
seems to be just reciting many of
his lines. He would have fitted the
part fine in the silent version.
Kay Johnson as the girl from the
east plays her role very well and
with shoWmanship. always have
liked Miss Johnson's acting, and I
like her in this. Betty Compson as
Cherry, the girl who deals cards in
gambling house, and is vainly in
love with our hero, is we'll cast and
does some nice work.
The light comedy is furnished by
Harry Green and Slim Summerville.
No doubt you will like Summerville
best; I did. He adds that human
touch to his funninesS that not only
makes you laugh, but also feel sorry
for him.
The big fight scene between
Cooper and William Boyd, (of the
stage) has been we'll directed, but
not as convincing as it might have
been. I got the idea that they got
in many Of their fighting positions
before the cameraman started
cranking. At least some of the
tangles they are shown in, did not
seem them get into.
This version of 1.-THE Spoilers" is
interesting, because it is a talkie.
1t is no worse or no better as far
as thrills and the filming of the
story than the silent version.
