Excerpt from Intelligence Tests and Their Use, Vol. 1 In 1897 Dr. J. M. Rice published in the Forum two articles giving an account of his investigations of the spelling abilities of school children in the United States. The Simple tests that he employed were the first definite attempt made on an extensive scale to measure any aspect of school achievement. For this reason Dr. Rice has been called the father of educational measurements. Since this early attempt, the movement to measure school attain ments in a fundamental and scientific way has grown to astonishing proportions. The growth and practical application of intelligence tests has paralleled that of tests to measure school products. The two move ments have gone hand in hand, as indeed, they should. Both must be used in conjunction if we wish to know the real facts about actual achievement of pupils and the efficiency of a teacher, a room, a building, or a school system.
