Eighteenth Annual Conference On Educational Measurement

Excerpt from Seventh Annual Conference on Educational Measurements: Held at Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind., Friday and Saturday, April 18 and 19, 1920 The claims of our educational reformers may be extravagant, but their spirit and intent and the beneficence of some of their insights are beyond question. Not only a decent modesty but also cold commonsense should warn us to listen and learn when any deep thinker speaks of the improve ment of schools. Educational measurements probably will never equal the devotion that established the common schools, nor approach the genius of the educational philosophers. They should be humble in the presence of the devotion that established the common schools and of the genius that is analyzing their work and studying their possibilities. Yet measurement has, I think, something to offer which was lacking in both the zeal of the founders of education and the acuity of its reformers.
