Will Your School Children Be Graded Properly Next Semester? PROBABLY no device which has been made for schools has ever met with the instant response which has been given to group tests of intelligence and achievement. School people have long felt the need for something which would do what the tests are doing. The use of group tests in the army demonstrated to everyone their effectiveness. The Journal of Educational Research says, “We may expect within the next twelve-month several million school children will be tested and the number will repidly increase from year to year." Present sales for the tests we publish are likely the best indication that the schools are getting results from using them. The demand for them is unheard of. Larger edition after large edition in rapid succession are sold before the printing is finished. Orders come from everywhere, from the largest cities and the smallest country one-room schools. Specimen sets of these tests will be sent postpaid at the prices named: National Intelligence Tests, 50 cents; Otis Group Intelligence Scale, 75 cents; Terman Group Test of Mental Ability, 15 cents; Haggerty Intelligence Examination, 65 cents; Haggerty Reading Examination, 50 cents; Courtis Standard Practice Tests in Arithmetic, $1.50; Wilkins Prognosis Test in Modern Language, 10 cents. inist issued a booklet, entitled A Brief Treatise on and Measurements (with a list of the d measurements in most general use, and to tests), and we shall be very glad to yone. for 30 PLAN TO USE THEM IN PICTURE STUDY ALL THROUGH THE YEAR Here are a few subjects and prices—but, first of all, get the complete Catalogue for 15 cents.
