BUREAU OF TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS.
Educational Tests.—The Department of Education maintains a Bureau
of Tests and Measurements as a feature of its extra-University
service. Select standard tests in school subjects will be supplied to cities,
counties and individual schools at cost. Members of the Faculty of Education
will visit the schools to be tested, train teachers in the use of the
tests and personally direct the giving and scoring of them, provided the
necessary traveling expenses are borne by the schools served.
Mental Tests.—In connection with its work in educational psychology,
the Department undertakes to assist school authorities in the diagnosis
and training of backward and gifted children. Assistance will be
rendered in the making of mental surveys and the establishment of special
classes. A clinic will be maintained for the study of cases accessible
to the University and the services of the professor in charge will be available
to any community in Virginia at the cost of the necessary test materials
and traveling expenses.
Any school official desiring the services of the Bureau of Tests and
Measurements should address the Dean of the Department.
