THE TEST THAT FAILS
BY N. M. McMILLAN, Principal Apex Consolidated High School
Xt U the opinion of a num
ber of educators that some of
tbs methods employed In find
tog the position or rating of
students. In many Instances,
are not reliable measuring
sticks. The series of tests given
to students across the nation
to determine their placement
is a good method of finding out
what we want to know and the
profession we want the student
to follow, but it Isn’t always the
beet method of finding out
what the student really is and
what he has the Intelligence to
do. The persons who usually
prepare and evaluate these
tests, In many Instances, fail
to realise that there are many
qualities besides agility In an
swering trick questions which
go to make up the mental de
velopment of a student.
Secondary schools through
the ages have been the step
ping stone to a trained society.
Prom the very beginning of
standardised tests, the purpose
has been to weed out those stu
dents who have great promise
for specialised training and im
plement a program based on
their capacities. The others, in
a number of cases, were placed
behind the forgotten wall. I am
of the opinion that no test
should be so reliable that it de
prives a student of a secondary
education. A student can fall
all the standard tests a secon
dary school offers and still
make a great contribution to
human society. I do not mean
to Imply that a secondary
school should not administer
standard tests. Standard tests
are a must in our present-day
educational set-up. I merely
mean that a secondary school
program should be broad e
nough to properly serve all the
students.

A number of years sgo, three
famous educators, Bolton, Cole,
and Jessup, made a research
study and discovered that only
six per cent of all students bom
in the United States were imbe
ciles with intelligence so low
that they were unable to learn
the simplest kinds of knowl
edge. “Any student with enough
intelligence to enter school has
enough Intelligence to learn
something." Every student is
good for something, and that
is where we begin to find out
what that something is and at
tempt to develop it. When a
student completely fails in the
secondary school he does not
stand alone. His partners in de
feat are the home, school, and
community.
At this point, I am reminded
of the story of Robert J. The „
story goes that Robert was the
son of a farmer-bricklayer from
one of the belowaverage rural
sections of the state. During
the closing days of the depres
sion, the economic conditions
reached the point that Robert's
father was forced to leave the
farm and seek employment as
a bricklayer in one of the larg
er cities in the state. Due to
economic reasons, he left Rob
ert behind to live with rela
tives. For a few years, Bob's
father found it very difficult to
find steady employment, but
stuck it out. paying his room
and board and sending a little
home.
As the story goes, over the
years, Bob’s father, as a brick
layer, was able to save a little
money, rent a home and send
for his family. By this time.
Bob was a senior and naturally,
tranferred to the city high
school.
Bob's record at the end of
the first semester indicated he
had railed three of five sub
jects. This greatly disturbed
Bob and his family, and it was
apparent that he would at least
not graduate with his class.
A further check of Bob's rec
ord revealed that he was In
the lowest percentile on all the
tests administered to the senior
class.
During the second semester.
Bob was advised that his grades
would not permit him to grad
uate. Bob was aware that this
action would shatter all his de
sires for becoming an engineer.
He continued to attend clam
but it was several days after
the semester was over before
he broke the news to his father.
Bob's fattier decided to send
him back home to complete his
high school education. Bob re
entered the high school from
which he had withdrawn and
the following spring graduated
with average grades.
