chtione, dear to the American heart.
"For instance'they prove that politics
has nothing to do with the efficiency or
inefficiency of schools. 1 have got some
of TAV best results in cities which ad-
mittedly reeked with correption, and I
have found some of the weakest schools
in cities in which the school board was
absolutely irreproachable.
"The reason is that, we have no stand.
ard to -day of edneational results, When
we get teaching power, we get it en-
tirely by chance. The man who gets his
job by a pull may have it, and the Man
who is employed by strictly legitimate
methods may not have it.
"We judge teachers and principals not
by results. but by preparation, because
we don't know what results to dernand,
or how to find out if those results lueve
been attained.
"These figures prove again that home
environment has nothing to de with the
child's mantel power. I have found some
e of. the strongest schools in foreign sec.
tions where the parents could not speak
English and were the poorest of the
poor; and some of the weakest ones in
quarters where the children were of the
best Atneriean parentage.
"Again, results differ very widely in
schools in the ;tame section, only a few
blocks apart, with children of the sante
age and enviromnent. The equipment
has nothing to do with it. Good results
come from poorly equipped schools, and -
vice versa.
"What , thenproduces good results in
schools? Obviously teaching power in
the teacher.
"This seems to bring it down to the M.
diyidual teacher. But here again I met
one of the surprises of my life.
"Teachers in the same schools, when
malted according to results obtained in
their classes may run from 30 to GO, and
from GO to 00. Here is the remarkable
thing. In a school in which the lowest
Icacher was Marked 30 1 have never
found a teacher runuing as high as 90.
And in a school in which the most efficient
teacher was marked 90 I have never
known a teacher to be marked as low as
f.10,
"Notv, look at this printed. table. You
will see that the wheals fall practically
into two divisions.
"In the upper •division, which I call the
strong schools, the teachers are marked
from .about 00 to about 90. In the lower
fourth grade pupils of one are marked,*
the same as the eighth grade of another,
on the sante story. Both schools were
in good, middle class American quarters.
Yet children of 9 or 10 in one did as well
AS those of 13 or 14 in another.
"The spelling test developed some very
curious results, quite unexpected by my-
self. 1 tested ninety-ftve classes, melte'.
bv: 3,300 children, in nineteen different
cities. The averages gained in all mixed
schools varied only from 80.2 per cent. to
88 per cent.
"This seems to argue that wheii hu-
manity is massed it averages up about
the same everywhere in spelling. But
here is a still further element of queer-
ness.
"While the results with ninety-five,dif-
ferent classes show leas than 8 per cent.
of variation, the time given to spelling
varied from 5 to 55 minutes a day. And
there seemed to be neconnection at all
between the time given and the results
obtained.
"In the class getting the highest aver-
age, 88 per cent., the time given was only
0 minutes a day; and in the lowest it
was 5; and in between it ranged all the
way from this to 20, 30, 40 and 55 min-
utes a day, the last in a school in which
the principal was bound to have good
spellers or die in the attempt.
"This curious fact demonstrates that
about the same element of inherent abil-
ity to spell resides in any group of chil-
dren, selected at random, end that if
you can't develop that ability with 15
minutes a day, you -won't do it with 50.
"I don't pretend to explain these
things; 1 leave that to the psychologists.
aatt merely stating facts.
"One other interesting result of the
spelling test was that the lowest girls'
school -tested ranked above the highest
boys' or mixed schools, Girls' schools al-
ways average above boys' schools in
spelling. There is no exeeption.
"That opens up other interesting possi-
bilities of research along this line: By
