This was the substance of a re port made to the school board last Wednesday afternoon by Dr. C. w. Stone of the State College, About a year ago the school board authorized Superintendent Henry to have measurements taken of the school children in order to see whether the schools were really ac complishing what they should. After consulting with the educa tion department of the college it was decided to make a test of the chil dren's ability in silent reading. This is the most important part of the school work because silent reading is the tool by which all other subpects are learned. The tests decided upon for the measurements were the Monroe Sil ent Reading Tests. These were given four times during the year and the results recorded as shown in the graph printed here. This graph rep resents the pro.less.less made by differ ent grades in the Edison building in a year's time as compared with the progress made by children in other places.

The other line shows the progress made by the same grades of children In the Edison school. In all of the grades the children were a little below the standard, as you can see, when the first test was given in December, a year ago. Then they began to improve rapidly and when the last test was given in February, all of the grades were far above the standard line. The reasons for this great im provement are not hard to find. Af ter the first test, both the children end the teachers realized that im provement could made. They all started in to work with the intention of improving before the next test was given. The result is that the children in the Edison school are now well above the standard in read ing ability. Although the Illustration given shows only the Edison school, the same general conclusion is true in re tard to the main building. The children there are also above the av erage in reading, although the vari ation ,from the standard line is not so great in some rooms as in others As a result of the tests many in dividual differences were note(l GENERATION PROGRESS STORY OF MILESTONES ••Milestones," one of the most notable dramas of the last decade, is to be produced Friday and Satur day nights. .March 1 * and 19. It is offered by the dramatic classes, under the direction of Mr. Reeid. Tickets are on sale Saturday, March 12. "Milestones" is a story of three generations, or rather of one gen oration passing through three per iods of life—juvenile, middle age, and old age. The dominant thought is that the progress of the world is due to the daring Ideas of youth, and that as one grows older he be comes more conservative until at old age he views with suspicion and disgust any tendency toward change. The first act is laid in 1860, the second in 1885, and the third in 1921. Costumes are worn accord ing to the periods- the hoop skirts I among the children and the causes \ were discovered, In one case, a girl was found who i was a very slow render. On invest , gation it was found that she had spent most of her childhood in China and now she is progressing rapidly j with a little special attention from : the teacher. There was another case found of a boy who was a very slow reader he cause he made the sound of every word in his throat as he read. When questioned, he said he used to stut ter, and that accounts for his being la hind his grade in reading. Now ; that the cause has been discovered, ■ this hoy's parents are being given tin . opportunity to learn how to help him i correct the habit so that he may soon catch up with the rest in his class. In this same class there was an other boy who was above the stand ard for his grr.de. His parents had an opportunity to have his eyes test ;ed and did so. The oculist advised them to get glasses for the buy and 80 they did, although they doubted his need of them since he was doing very good school work. Within a i month the boy had doubled his rate of speed In silent reading. The progress of these tests has been followed closely by some of the parents. One man about tj.') years old, says he is willing to spend any amount of time if he can learn to read more rapidly without sounding every word in his throat as he reads, and he is starting in to try. He says he wishes tests had been made when li. was a boy so that he could have had his bad reading habits corrected then. The real value* of these tests lies in the fact that each child can tell ex actly where he stands in relation to the rest of the class. This knowledge causes him to work harder and each success encourages him that much more. Also, each teacher can find out what the causes are that keep some pupils behind the rest of the class, and can give the help necessary to bring the slow ones up to the stand ard. The fact that the Pullman school children are well above the standards ;'!! silent reading is an indication that the schools are getting results. The citizens of Pullman have reason to be proud of the work that is being done in their schools.

Those are many of the old machines still in the field that have been in service every year for over twenty years, and they are still as good as ever. They thresh as much grain as any new machine in the community. RUSSELL separators are easy to operate, anyone can op erate them. The year 1920 saw eighteen new Russell sep arators delivered from the Pullman agents and not one single day's service was required, or called for from any owner. .Matty of the owners had never operated a machine before.
