scores for February, 1914, the Indiana standard falls in second 

 place in grades five, seven, and eight. In the sixth grade it is in 

 third place, being excelled by both Boston and Detroit. In all 

 grades the Detroit scores rank first. If one uses the Indiana city 

 average instead of the individual average as a basis of comparison, 

 the rank for all grades combined is the same, namely, Detroit 1, 

 Indiana 2, Boston 3, and Courtis general 4. For the sixth grade, 

 Indiana gets first place, but drops to third in the eighth grade. 

 Some of the Indiana cities do much better than either Detroit, 

 Boston, or the Courtis standard, and the comparison of the group 

 as a whole is decidedly favorable to Indiana.
