University Educator
To Appraise Local
District Schools

/ One of Mr.. Bergan's last acts
as superintendent of Browning
Public Schools was to join with
incoming Supt. Gold and h e
trustees of School District No. g
in requesting that the School of
Education of the University of
Montana undertake a measure
ment program for the schools of
the district.
In July the trustees sent a:
formal petition to Dean Maucker
of the School of Education asking
for this assistance from the Uni
versity to determine just h O W.
our schools stand educationally.
Within the past week the trustees:
have received word t h a t the
School of Education will under
take the study and that work will
be begun before the Christmas
holidays.
The University has appointed
Mr.. William j. Taylor to under
take the u d y in conjunction
with Miss Schmidt, grade school
principal, and t h Browning
teachers. Mr.. Taylor has indicated
that he will arrive in Browning
Monday, December 10 for h e
purpose of making a preliminary
survey Of the job. Until Mr.. Tay-
lor arrives, it is not known just
what will be included in the
study. 1t is anticipated that con-
siderable stress will be placed
upon getting a picture of t h G
situation as regards rea in g
ability in the elementary schools.
| Mr.. Bergan and Miss Schmidt
had already done considerable
work in this area, with the ass
istance of the elementary teach.
ers, and the work already done
will furnish a good starting point
for the study, which is now
contemplated.
1t is understood that Browning
is the only school in the S ia e
that has requested the University
to make such a study this year.
