Excerpt from The Measurement of Teaching Efficiency Efficiency in any work deals with details and particulars which are so numerous that standards and measures must be explicit and definite. To state that efficiency is the process by which to secure the maximum of result with the minimum of work and ma terial is to stir up further inquiries as to what a good result is and how it may be attained. General directions and principles are here of little use for quiet effective ao tion, and for products economically brought forth. On this account, any practical scheme for measuring the efficiency of teaching must be extremely detailed and specific.
