Synopsis

Excerpt from Statistical Methods Applied to Education: A Textbook for Students of Education, in the Quantitative Study of School Problems Such a volume as the present number in this series of textbooks forms an interesting exhibit of the progress at present being made in the organization of instruction in the subject of education. Two decades ago there would have been almost no use for such a volume, as we had not then begun to make any accurate measures of the products of our educational efforts. Only the most general terms were then in use, while to-day the demand is for quantitative expression in commonly used terms which students can understand. Especially within the past decade has there been a remarkable evolution of standards for educational work and quantitative units of measurement. To-day the educational investigator and the superintendent of instruction alike need to use refined tools in the measurement of educational results. To such, and to the students in our schools of education generally, the simple presentation of the mathematics underlying the accurate measurement and plotting of educational results here presented should prove of large usefulness. The author of this volume has stated the aims and purposes and plan of the work so well in his preface that little remains that an editor needs to say.
