20 MARYLAND MANUAL. of fifty teachers to a supervisory official. The State pays two-thirds of
the salaries of these officials. The large progressive school systems of
Cleveland and Detroit have a supervising principal for each group of
twenty-five professionally trained teachers, localized in a single building. Continuing the use of standardized teats begun in 1921, in October
of 1923, and again in May, 1924, nearly 70,000 white elementary school
children in grades above the first were given state-wide standardized
tests in reading and arithmetic. As a result of the careful diagnosis of
the results, teachers under the leadership of the supervisors adopted
measures to effect a cure of the weaknesses disclosed with encouraging
results'. In May, most of the grades have scores "up to standard and
the growth between October and May in the majority of cases has been
more than normal. All colored elementary pupils above the second grade were tested
twice this yea rin reading, and all first year high school pupils in Eng-
lish. These results, as well as age-grade studies, the comparative mate-
rial in the annual reports regarding enrollment, attendance, the teach-
ing staff and school finances, and the' computation of the Equalization
Fund, have been the work of the Bureau of Educational Measurements. The index number for judging educational efficiency based on five
items which evaluate attendance and five which indicate public interest
as proved by financial support of schools, continues to show improve-
ment for Maryland. For 1923 it registers 72.8 points in the entire
State and 60.7 in the twenty-three counties, including both white and
colored schools. This is anincrease of 4.7 points for the counties and
7.7 points for the State, including Baltimore City. In 1918 the index
number for Maryland was 43.2 points. The goal is 100. 1923 EDUCATIONAL INDEX NUMBER FOR MARYLAND. Increase
