Excerpt from A Descriptive Bibliography of Measurement in Elementary Subjects It is our expectation to continue this bibliography yearly for an indefinite period; and we hope in future issues to correct and amplify the lists. It will be of great service in this work if any one who discovers an omission, misstatement, or inadequate description will inform the editor. The movement for educational measurement is now well advanced. The theory of tests and scales is fairly well worked out, and a considerable number of valuable tests and scales have been produced; what is most needed now is the application and criticism of these products in the class room. It is time for teachers and principals to take a more constructive part in the movement. We hope this bibliography will help them to do so.

Excerpt from Educational Measurement, 1951 Certainly, developments in the testing field are both so extensive and complex as to justify and make necessary comprehensive periodical reviews in order that we may know where we are. For this reason it is particularly appropriate that the Council's Committee on Measurement and Guidance should have planned the general character and manner of executing the publication of the present book on educational measurement.

Excerpt from Educational Measurements The sole purpose of standardized measurements is to refine these judgments, to make them more accurate and objective, to express them in terms of known units of a definable character, so that we may be able to say, for example, that a pupil can read three words per second of a certain passage and to report so and so much of it, that he knows the English meaning of 2000 Latin words and can translate without error sentences of specified difficulty. If there are any products or by-products of education which are too subtle to be distinguished or judged as existing in greater or less amounts, or as having higher or lower quality, we may be suspicious of their actual existence. Any quality or ability of human nature that is detectable is also measurable. It remains only to discover more and more accurate means of measurement.
