Personal Note to Teachers: The Courtis Standard Practice Tests in Arithmetic were ,designed to decrease the amount of a teachers routine drudgery jand to improve the efficiency of his teaching. Measurement proves that when the tests are rightly used both objects are accomphshed. Measurement also proves that the degree of success attained depends upon how far the teacher comprehends the purpose of this new tool, and uses the opportunities it provides for adjusting the drill work to the needs of the individual children. Will you not, therefore, study the instructions carefully until you understand the essential features of the system, then make such adjustment of the general method to your local conditions as will enable you to a. Measure your class to determine the initial ability of its members. (S ee pages 6, 7-11) b. Eliminate from the drill class those who have (or reach) standard ability. (S ee pages 6, 11-13) c. Give to each of the other members drill upon those lessons where drill is needed. (S ee pages 6, 13) d. Permit each individual to practice in his own way and to grow at his own rate. (S ee pages 6, 20-27) e. Give exactly the assistance needed to each child that fails. (S ee pages 27-44) f. Measure the efficiency of your teaching. (S ee page 22) If you will do this faithfully and intelligently, the efficiency of your teaching of the four operations with whole numbers will rise from the conventional 5% to 10% to from 60% to 75%.
