Assisting commercial department. I was permitted to visit in only two of the testing rooms, hearing and vision, and the reading room. Miss Matthews was in the first room and I was impressed by the complete relaxation and confidence of the pupil who was being tested at the time. An audiometer was used for the hearing test, which from the looks and the results of the ma chine in determining the needs of the child, seemed to be very accurate. By watching the test ing and the use of hand dials, Miss Matthews was able to de tect any deficiency in the hear ing of the pupil. In vision, a telebinocular was used which was just as accurate as the hear ing aid. In Mr. Morgan's room I watched the presentation of a readiness test. Mr. Morgan expressed his thoughts of teach ing children by using the per sonalized programs and indi vidualizing student's materials. Adjusting their work to their ability was the thought he ex pressed to the teacher who had brought her pupil there for test ing. He also said that the three R's were mere tools to an end. Health and happiness and peace of mind were addition factors to a tuu balanced cnnanooci oi pupils.
