1932 IOWA ACADEMIC TEST DAY
Tuesday, May 10, 1932, was Academic Test
day among the high schools of Iowa. These tests are given once a year to
determine the efficiency and effectiveness of the teaching corps as well as the
results accomplished with the pupils. Around 375 high schools in Iowa held these
tests Tuesday. The state is divided into several districts and the students
ranking first and second in the districts will go to Iowa City immediately after
school is out and take the final examinations for the state championships in
some twelve subjects. The ranking of the high schools of Iowa is determined by
these tests also. Every pupil in the high school is required to take them. Their
grades are averaged and the school grade thus determined. Last year, Eagle Grove
high school ranked tenth in the entire state, regardless of size. In the final
contests last year at Iowa City, Eagle Grove students, Erling Kloster proved to
be the best algebra pupil in Iowa by winning first, and bringing home the gold
medal awarded the winner in the first year algebra tests. Art Barnes ranked
sixth in the state in American history, and Dorothy Benedict tenth in English
correctness. The year previous, Art Barnes was second in world history, winning
a silver medal.
The following is the list of the ten
high in each subject in the tests held Tuesday in Eagle Grove: The figure after
the name indicates the number of questions answered correctly. The number of
questions varied in the different tests. In some there were 180 questlons to
answer.
