In addition to the percentile breakdown, the SRA test results contain grade equivalents, a measure of actual scholastic relative to grade level. Third position graders in the district have an average from Front Page) "I can see advantages to both," he said. "But if you keep a similar test for a period of time, then you have something to compare with it gives you a standard to work for. By changing the test, you lose that standard." Jaussi added that if the tests are changed, the district should stay with the new one in order to judge improvement. "But to use a new test and then say 'we're all right, the monkey's off our back' I think that's wrong. It's easy to use it for - cub Shilo, on tours and lecturing to audiences of all types.

Fourth, fifth and sixth graders performed respectively at the 5.2, 6.5 and 7.5 grade equivalents. The SRA test is given at about the seventh month of the school year - during March and April which Stubbs said is partially responsible for the high grade equivalents. A fourth grader, for example, would be expected to have a grade equivalent of four plus seven months. Grade equivalents in the district, however, are somewhat higher than that expectation. Some teachers favor the SRA, while others prefer the CTBS because of differences in approach and the perceived value of each test. But whichever test is used, the primary concern ought to be whether it is an effective tool helping to improve educational quality in our schools not which numbers make us look best. - complacency." He said that the district has been a bit defensive about the test scores. "Why spend all that energy trying to defend the scoresr he asked. "If they'd just say 'yes, they're down, now let's see what we can do. Let's get a program together that will build them up' - that would be the best thing. "Every school in the country is going down, and other schools in the country are doing something about it." He cited the Jordan School District as having low scores which were brought up over a period of four years without changing exams. "They were down below the national average in the sixth grade in 1974," Jaussi said. "They used the Iowa test, but they stuck to K and brought their scores up. I think that's what Alpine ought to do." R. Keith Larson, a counselor at Pleasant Grove High School, said there are many factors involved which could account for the decline shown by CTBS. For example, in the upper grades in some other areas of the country, tests of this type are required for high school graduation. This results in a higher level of student motivation. "Whether or not K is used in other area as a district-widtest, I don't know," said Larson. "If they didn't use it in a situation like that, or if there were graduation requirements attached to the completion of the test, it is something the student has to achieve in order to continue on. "Whatever test they might use - whether it is an achievement test or something like a regency exam - when they've got teeth in it, the student is going to sit down and do "My begonia plants took first and second places," commented Rose Barnes, Lehi, as she computed the ribbons she earned this year at the State Fair.

Her miniature speciments took second and she was also awarded second and third for fruit Thomas Taylor as clerk. The result of the election showed that Preston Thomas, Daniel Collett, and William Burgess had been selected as Lehi's first school board. Thus did the innate tendency of the Pioneers towards political organization find expression. In a remarkably short time after the founding of the community, a stable municipal government with all its department and offices had been set up and was running smoothly. Truly such a record speaks well for the love of law and order these people possessed. Gen.

The mechanical monster hit a ditch at the bottom of the corn patch, turned around and headed back up the field. It chased the frantic farmer, hit his truck moving it out of the way, then headed straight for the Jordan River. It careened on its merry way chopping corn and everything that got in its way. Boyd finally managed to jump on and stop the vehicle in a gulch just 30 feet this side of the river. Oh sure, Boyd's okay if you discount hurt pride.
