TO BE PUBLISHED SOON Faculty Man Signs Contract with Appleton Company Professor C. A. Gregory, of the school of education, has signed a contract with D. Appleton Co. for the publishing of his manuscript, “The Principles of Tests and Measurements with the Ele ments of Statistical Methods.” An ef fort is being made by the publishers to get the book out for use in summer schools. In reviewing the book for the com pany, H. A. Sprague, superintendent in one of the larger cities of New Jersey, said in part: “I have read Dr. Greg ory's book with increasing interest. His style is simple, direct and clear. The treatment in general is scientific, logical, and interesting. I believe the book is not too easy for the average college group nor too difficult for nor mal school classes. Sections dwelling upon needs of educational measurements will prove very convincing to the aver age teachers in service. “Teachers, principals, and supervis ors will find the chapters which explain the tests and their relative merits very helpful. The book also offers one of the simplest treatments of the funda mental steps in statistical methods which I have read.” In explaining the purpose of the book, a statement in the preface says: “This book is an attempt to bridge, in part, a gap between theory and practice in educational tests and measurements. Language Simplified “This book deals with the processes' and problems in a somewhat evolution- : ary way so that the teachers and stu dents may see the order in which the . problems have arisen and their at- 1 tempted solutions. A mere manual of directions for giving tests and scoring papers will not develop a professionali spirit among the teachers in the field. They must understand the fundamental | principles or the work becomes purely | mechanical and non-professional. It has been the aim of the author to pre sent the fundamental principles in non technical language as far as it is pos sible to do so and to confine the sta tistical treatment of the data almost ! entirely to simple operations in arith- i metic.” It is a book of about 375 pages, con sisting of 11 chapters. The first two chapters, developed at length, give a 1 brief description of experimental psy chology prior to the time of psycholog ical tests, showing how measurements of intelligence developed largely from the work of the psychiatrist. A dis- j cussion of the Binet test with adapta tions and revisions is given. “My experience in giving tests and measurements in public schools,” says Dr. Gregory, “has been that most peo ple do not understand fundamental principles.” Hence the chapters which follow those dealing on school achieve ment, are devoted to a discussion of; fundamental problems. The last 150 pages treat of statistical methods ap plied to education.

COON GOING ABROAD (Continued from page one) structors in composition; in fact the entire faculty is made up of the recog nized musical artists of France. Jean Fayard-Coon. instructor in French at the University, has also been granted a leave of absence and will spend the summer resting at Fontaine bleau. In the winter she will study philosophy and modern French litera ture at the Sorbonne in Paris. Mr. and Mrs. Coon will also spend some time gathering material for lec tures that will be of interest when they return to Ameriea. Madame Fayard, mother of Mrs. Coon, will accompany them to France and will visit her old home in Nice and at Besancon. The granting of the leave of absence to Mr. Coon is in line with the genera! policy of the University school of musie to enable members of the faculty to continue their study at intervals.
