This description in each case is based upon the author’s statements. No effort has been made to check the accuracy of the author’s statement and no effort has been made to evaluate the tests themselves. It is recognized that some of the tests are almost, if not wholly, worthless. Nevertheless, they have been given equal rank with those of distinctive merit in that the alphabetical method of listing has been used, and no statement has been made as to quality of the test. The danger of such a procedure is recog- nized, but even in the face of this danger we feel that the procedure is justified. There seems to be a need for bringing together under one cover a list, as nearly complete as possible, of all achievement tests that have been developed in the United States in recent years. This list should serve as a basis for the next most important step of sifting out the poor tests and of bringing forcibly to the attention of prospective users of tests those of greatest merit.

Each scale is composed of 2 series except the graph scale, which contains only one. Series B is longer than Series A and contains from 11 to 25 exercises in each scale. Series A, about half as long as Series B, may be used when time is limited. Scale B is best for diagnostic purposes. The manual of directions contains all necessary instructions, including key and norms. One copy of each scale sheet is required for each pupil to be tested.

Purpose: in primary grades it can be used to help children gain automatic control over the fundamental processes and forms on which nearly all primary work is based. In inter- mediate and grammar grades it can be used to fix permanently in mind, independent of the associative process, a few scores of facts in history, civics, geography, etc., which serve as a nucleus of ever- increasing knowledge, and develop the child’s consciousness of power. In Americanization evening schools for adults, the Auto-Flash Card Machine enables the teacher to give drill exercises on sounds, phono- grams, difficult constructions, facts in history, civics, etc., in an interesting, entertaining way, thus eliminating “drill for drill’s sake”, which is especially trying to adults. The process or drill fact to be mastered is printed in large display type on a card. Approximately 50 cards constitute a set. Invariably a score or more of the drill facts are so easy that a beginning class can easily master them, e.g., the “zero and 1” combinations in either addi- tion or multiplication. The cards on which drill facts are printed are placed on the machine, which automatically drops the cards in regular order. One card at a time is added to the drill as the drill fact involved is presented until all the processes or facts included in a set are mastered. The machine holds each card before the child or class for a period of from 1 to 3 seconds. The card then drops and another takes its place. The child, or the class, calls the answer to each card while exposed to view. The following sets are already prepared: (1) Number Combinations, (2) Step II Addition, (3) Language Cards, (4) Civics Cards, (5) His- tory Cards, (6) Blank Cards.

Nifenecker, Di- rector of Reference, Research, and Statistics, 500 Park Ave., New York City, on April 26, 1923, wrote: “Measurement of Ability in Spelling is a report on some tests given to about 25,000 children. The tests consisted of 2 lists of 50 words each from Jones’ One Hundred Spelling Demons, and, secondly, the Buckingham Spelling Scale devised by Buckingham in 1914. From the results of the tests 3 spelling scales were devised. In scaling the results McCall’s ‘T’ score method was employed and norms were set up.” Some Measurements in Spelling. Mr. Nifenecker (see above) wrote on April 26, 1923: “This is a report on some tests in spelling given to about 6,000 children in districts 45 and 46 of this city. The test consisted of about 25 words taken from column ‘T’ of the Ayres Spelling Scale and was given to classes from the fifth to eighth year inclusive.” Scale of Attainment, No. 1 (Spelling, Arithmetic, and Reading).
