Director of Elementary and Secondary Education and Normal Schools of M assachusetts. Dear Friends at the Salem Normal School. Since I came to Cambridge in October I have continued some writing begun during the summer, and, in addition, have been doing research work in educational measurements under the direction of Professor Dearborn of the Department of Educa- tion at Harvard. It has been interesting to follow the later developments in this field. At first there was a good deal of injustice done by rating the work of classes irrespec- tive of the native intelligence of the children. A teacher who was doing superior work with a slow class would be ranked lower than a teacher who was doing compari- tively poor work with a class of children who were unusually bright. To do away with this injustice, the movement is toward measuring the achievement of pupils in the light of an intelligence test which gives the mental status of the pupils. The first experiments in scientific measurements naturally laid the emphasis on mechanical accomplishment. Another improvement is the broadening out of the field so as to include appreciation in the tests. For example, I came across a test the other day in the appreciation of poetry. Each part of the test consisted of several stanzas. One stanza was taken from a great poet. The other stanzas gave the same thought and imagery, but worked them out in different ways. One stanza was over-dramatic, an- other had a rhythm too marked for the thought, and another was too commonplace in its meter. The stanzas were so cleverly written that it took close thinking to select the one that was really the best. I thought of you girls and wondered how many of you had developed the tine discrimination necessary to pass the test. 1 have no doubt that most of you have. Many of you will soon be teaching. You are undoubtedly looking forward to it with high hopes. I do not need to say that I wish you all success in your work, and much richness of experience and happiness in your lives. Sincerely yours. - Cambridge, Massachusetts, April, 192U. Harriet E. Peet. 13
