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 of Education.
