8 sections from 6B to 8B inclusive. Teacher B had 122 pupils 

 in 7 sections from 6B to 8A inclusive. Teacher C had 169 pupils 

 in 8 sections from 6B to 8A inclusive. Each teacher had about 

 the same number of weak and strong pupils. Are we justified in 

 rating these teachers according to the results they succeeded in 

 attaining with their pupils? I believe we are. 



Teacher B and Teacher C, it is clear, were able to arouse about 

 the same per cent of their pupils to make better scores and a 

 larger per cent than Teacher A. 



This finding is in perfect accord with the rating of these three 

 teachers by Professor H. G. Childs, based on the records of three 

 observers who, independent of each other, and at different times, 

 visited the regular classroom work. Mr. Childs also correlated 

 these ratings with the gross change in results obtained by the 

 pupils of each of the teachers, from February to June. Teacher 

 C ranked first and Teacher B a close second, but there was a 

 wide gap between these two and Teacher A.
