content: Arthur I. Gates (1890-1972) obtained his Bachelor of Law (1914) and his M.A. (1915) from the University of California at Berkeley and his PhD. from Columbia University (1917). He spent the rest of his career on the faculty of Teachers College at Columbia, putting special emphasis on the study of reading and language arts. Teachers College published his tests. Gates not only was the author of reading tests at several levels but of textbooks and basal readers. This manual refers to practice exercises in reading developed by Gates in conjunction with the Illinois-born Barnard College graduate (1926) and writer Celeste Comegys Peardon (1898-1988). The directions were published in 1933. Gates, Peardon, and other authors would collaborate on an extensive series of readers published by Macmillan in 1939 that came to be known as the Macmillan Readers.
