Annual Testing Program

Annual Testing Program
Plans for an Annual Testing
Program recently approved by
the School Board have been COM
pleted, and agreements reached
between School officials and Sci
ence Research Associates of Chi
cago, research and development
firm whose primary function is
the development of tests in most
major fields.
Under the terms of the agree
ment, Achievement Tests will be
given annually during the second
week in May, and Mental Maturity
Tests Q.Q0 will be given annually
in Grades |, 4 and 7, during the
third week of school each fall.
The SRA Achievement Series is
an integrated program for meas
uring the educational develop
men of pupils in the following
broad curricular areas = reading,
arithmetic, language, arts, work.
study skills, and language per-
ception. In later columns we will
discuss test areas and point out
the nature of each test and what
we hope to measure.
Application and Use
We have several detectives in
developing this testing program.
From the Board and Administra-
tive standpoint it is expected that
the program will provide a sys-
tenn wide survey which will give
an overall picture of pupil status
in relation to National norms
standards. When programs such
as this are administered annually
they generally yield information
regarding educational develop
ment from grade to grade. The
test results may thus be used for
purposes of curriculum develop
ment or revision in the following
ways: a. Test scores provide a
basis for discovering and correct
ing the causes of poor achieve
ment. b. The relative value of
different curricular patterns and
teaching techniques may be esti-
mated by comparing scores from
the Series.
Teachers will be interested in
the tests because they will show
the relative abilities of the pupils
within a group and they may be
used for analysis of individual
strengths and weaknesses as we'll
as to measure individual and
group achievement.
Parents
Parents will be informed about
test results through our distribu-
ton of a special leaflet entitled
"Your Achievement Scores and
What They Mean" This leaflet is
designed for guidance and infor-
national purposes through the use
of a Pupil Progress Chart which
helps the pupil and his parents
see his standing in school achieve
ment. The form includes sum-
maries of the meaning of each test
score.
This years Testing Program
will begin Monday, May 9, and
will take most of the week. We
would like to point out that these
tests have no bearing on the reg
ular classWork or Report Cards.
They are not final examinations.

SOutherners Fail to
Emasculate Civil
Rights Legislation

WASHINGTON, Up = The SEN
ate yesterday refused to strike the
key voting rights section out of
the civil rights bill.
A motion by Sen. Allen Ellen
der O-La) to erase this part of
the bill was tabled and thus killed.
The vote was 1918.
Ellender and other southern
senators denounced this section as
clearly unconstitutional. They ar
gued it would ride roughshod over
state election laws.
Under it, federal district court
judges, or referees appointed by
them, could register qualified Ne
groes as voters in areas where
systematic discrimination to bar
them from the polls had been
found.
Sen. Everett Dirksen R-IlD, the
Senate COP leader, made the mo-
ton to table the amendment.
Dirksen said that if the voting
referee section was eliminated
the bill would be reduced in eff
fleet to point where in many re-
spects it would be meaningless"

Representing the views of the
Washington Home Rule Com
mittee. the appeal told House
members that voteless citizens
look to them as their repre-

Gerhard P. Van Arkel, chair
man Of the committee, said this
was necessary because the Dis
trict has for many years been
denied its right to local self
government"
But 1t is no reflection on
your services to say that the
part-time attention of an over

District Heads to J. Seek
Funds for Two Pools

10000 in the far northeast
area. recreation officials had
argued. and the Randall pool
would serve the repopulated
southwest.
The Commissioners adopted
an overall siX-year program
that would cost more than 1888
million to complete between
1862 to 1867.
They added more than SIT
million in projects beyond
budget Office recommendations.
New Schools Planned
The bulk of the Increase
about $16 million-is to be
used for three or four new jun
ior high schools to provide
room for 1000 new junior high
school students expected to be
enrolled by 1866. Budget Off
cials pointed out that the new
junior high schools had not
been specifically requested by
school officials in drawing up
the schools six-year program.
When the Commissioners
analyzed school population fig
ures. budget officials said, they
found no provision for the ex-
pected enrolment increase.
They therefore added the SIG
million without specifying To-
cations or the number of build
ings to be erected.
The Commissioners post
poned earmarking funds for a
proposed elementary school at
North Dakota and Kansas ave-
nues NV. The reason for the
postponement was that the fall
enrollments in that area were
not as high as had been ex-
pected and citizens groups in
the area cautioned that the
location might be hazardous
because of traffic conditions.
Fund Plea Later
Last week. John D. Koontz,
assistant superintendent of
schools. said school officials will
probably seek funds for the
new Junior high schools next
year. He said three new schools
would probably be built in the
Northeast, North west and
Southwest sections of the city.
In other revisionS to the
public works plan. the Com
missioners authorized replace
ment of three old cottages at
Junior Village with one modern
structure. They also authorized
the department of corrections
to construct an industrial large
building at the youth center at
Lorton.
The Commissioners moved
ahead the construction sched-
ule for an elementary school at
Fifty-third and c streets Sc.
which is now planned for 1863
instead of 1866, and approved
construction of a new school
building at Junior Village in
1868 instead of 1865.
The Commissioners approved
without changes the six-year
works programs for the high
ways and sewer construction.
