Excluding the grade examinations of which no ^ttempt is made to keep an exact record, 2,249,350 papers were printed and distributed, 751)345 answer papers were written, 608,- 575 papers were claimed for acceptance, 537,797 were accepted and 19,859 credentials and licenses were issued. For convenience, the several classes of examinations under the supervision of the division ire discussed in the following order: grade, preliminary, academic, academic for professional students, teachers, and professional ex- iminations. The tables setting fonth in detail the number and kind jf examinations conducted, the candidates examined and the cre- |dentials issued appear in Exhibit G in this report. Especial attention is called to tables 4 and 5 which give a com- iplete list of the high schools and academies of the State, the number lof papers written in each school during the year, the number claimed, ■the number and per cent of those written which were accepted and |the per cent of the papers claimed which were accepted. There is Ino thought of determining the relative rank of schools by the publi- ication of such a table because examinations alone can not determine Ithe rank of schools ; and then again the Department has no desire to [open any discussion upon the merits of different schools. So many [principals and teachers ask, however, for their relative standing in [Regents examinations that it is thought the tables may be useful. [Attention is called to the fact that the school which rejects upon its [own account a reasonable number of its papers before making a [claim, ordinarily has the largest per cent of its papers claimed [accepted by the Department. This only goes to show that a careful [local rating is ait all times desirable and that the school which does [thorough work during the year and which rates its own papers care- I fully by a definite standard may reasonably expect to have its claims j approved by the Department. The detailed tables giving full [307] 3o8 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT information about professional examinations conducted and licenses issued appear in Exhibit J as a part of the report on higher education. GRADE EXAMINATIONS Examinations in the subjects of reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, English, physiology and hygiene, spelling, drawing and nature study and agriculture are at present conducted in December, January and June of each year under the supervision of district superintendents. The questions are prepared by a committee of district superintendents, and the papers are edited, printed and dis- tributed by the Department upon the requisition of teachers in the rural supervisory districts. No report is made, no record is kept and no credential issued by the Department as a result of such ex- aminations. District superintendents urge that these tests help to carry out the provisions of the syllabus and in general help to give regularity and system to the teaching in the rural schools. Quite apart from the fact that the conducting of these examinations is expensive and administratively difficult, it may well be questioned whether or not it is wise to set a statewise formal examination for the rural schools. We are in constant danger of overemphasizing the importance of State examinations, even in the secondary schools. The present plans put emphasis upon formal examinations at the very beginning of the school course and undoubtedly tend to center the attention of both pupils and teachers upon mechanical tests rather than upon wholesome study. Teachers and even supervisory officers are altogether too ready to lean upon syllabuses and examinations which they are not obliged to work out for themselves. We leave too little opportunity in our whole scheme of education for the exer- cise of individual initiative and we altogether overemphasize the necessity and the desirability of uniformity. It is quite impossible, as it is also quite unnecessary, to set a uniform examination which will meet the varied needs of all the small schools of the State. District superintendents are now in effect principals of the several rural schools in their respective jurisdictions. They are entirely competent to set such grade examinations as may be necessary in their own supervisory districts. Indeed, as principals of the schools, they ought to be given every opportunity to uplift the districts upon their own initiative. If one superintendent thinks that grade ex- aminations are desirable let him prepare them with a full knowl- edge of the needs of his pupils and let him give the examinations at such times as he sees fit. If another district superintendent thinks EXAMINATIONS 3O9 he can get better results without examinations, let him carry out his own plans. Let us get away from the fetish thait uniformity in our methods is imperative and let us not weaken a very useful examination system in the secondary schools by thrusting formal statewide examinations upon boys and girls who are scarcely able to express themselves in writing at all. It is therefore urgently recommended that the present method of conducting grade examinations be discontinued and that the responsibility of giving inspiration and help to the rural schools be placed directly where it now fortunately belongs — upon each individual district superintendent. PRELIMINARY EXAMINATIONS It is also questioned whether or not the preliminary examina- tions in reading, writing, spelling, elementary English, arith- metic, geography, and elementary U. S. history with civics, given in all schools in January and June of each year, are really pro- ductive of good. All that was said above about the danger of centering attention upon examining rather than upon teaching applies with equal force here. It seems a mistake to confront a child continually from the kindergarten to the high school with formal examinations. The actual nervous strain of these examinations upon children in the preacademic grades is hardly taken into account in its full significance. Our almost insatiable desire for examinations in the State makes us overlook at times the very rights of the victims of them. The inertia of a State system once inaugurated is colossal, and it is infinitely harder to discontinue an outworn policy than it is to begin a wholly new movement. If this present system of preliminary examinations is to con- tinue indefinitely, steps ought to be taken to minimize the mere machinery incident to them and to place the responsibility for the keeping of the records upon each district superintendent and principal who conducts them. Under the present procedure records are kept at the Department for .every pupil who takes these examinations. This means that for the January and June 1912 examinations more than 300,000 entries will have to be made and over 35,000 preliminary certificates issued. No prac- tice is objectionable, of course, simply because it makes work; but it is certainly highly objectionable when it makes endless work without producing any known useful end. It is adminis- tratively pure nonsense to go on filling file after file with records 3IO XEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT of examinations, which, in the great majority of instances, are never consulted after being thrust into the filing case. To mini- mize the evils of this scheme of examinations and to place re- sponsibility where it of right belongs, upon the local school officers, it is believed that principals and district superintendents should be intrusted with the rating of all preliminary papers, except those claimed for teachers certificates, with the keeping of the records, and with the distribution of preliminary certificates. It is recommended therefore that beginning with the January 1913 examination the following plan be carried out: a That, as heretofore, the Department print and send to the schools as ordered question papers in preliminary subjects. b That the principals of all approved schools be instructed not to send to the Department any papers in preliminary subjects, except those written for teachers certificates. c That all preliminary papers written in the rural schools of a supervisory district be sent as at present to the district superin- tendent and that he send to the Department only those papers written for teachers certificates. d That all preliminary papers except those written for teachers certificates be kept on file at the approved schools or in the dis- trict superintendent's office for at least one year, subject to the call of the Department. e That the principals of all approved schools and all district superintendents be instructed to keep careful, accurate record of all examinations in preliminary subjects in their schools and in the schools under their jurisdiction. / That the principals of all approved schools and all district superintendents make claims based upon their own records after each examination upon special blanks to be furnished by the Department for preliminary certificates earned in their schools and districts. g That preliminary certificates be issued by the Department only upon the claim of principals and district superintendents and that the only entry to be made on the card record at the Depart- ment be the date of issuance. ACADEMIC EXAMINATIONS There were written in the January and June Regents examina- tions 392,252 papers. Of this number, the schools claimed 319,582. The Department accepted 279,035 or 71. i per cent of EXAMINATIONS 3II the number written. Early in 191 1 a pamphlet, which was pub- lished in the last annual report, was issued on suggestions on the rating of papers, which was calculated to bring about a more uniform system of rating. It is evident both from letters and from examination returns that this attempt to bring schools into closer touch with the Department has received careful attention from many principals and teachers. It is also evident that in some schools the suggestions have never been brought to the attention of teachers or have been wholly disregarded. It was expected when these suggestions were issued that experience would indicate needed changes and " criticisms from all super- visory officers and from teachers actively engaged in classroom work " were invited. The small number of criticisms so far re- ceived seems to show that the suggestions must have proved fairly satisfactory. The pamphlet has just been reissued and changes have been made with caution and only where experience has suggested improvements. Something more than suggestions, however, is needed to secure a fair degree of uniformity in rating answers. No set of direc- tions for marking papers, however wisely planned or carefully worded, will prevent serious differences in rating that are due to differences in temperament. To. eliminate so far as possible the personal equation of the examiner, cooperation in answer reading is always necessary. At least two forms of cooperation in reading have been practised in some schools with more or less success for several years. One plan of cooperative reading which pro- duces excellent results may be called the committee system. It is especially applicable in large cities where there are several high schools, but it might be easily modified to meet the needs of any high school that employs several teachers in each department. Under this system delegates from each department of each school meet in general conference at the close of the examination in a given subject, bringing answer papers with them to determine in a general way how each answer should be rated. On the return of these delegates to their schools committees of from three to five readers are appointed who confer with the delegate and among themselves. Each reader then reads a given portion only (two to four answers) on each paper, affixes a rating to the answers he has read and passes the paper to the next exam- iner. When all the answers have been rated the credits are added. Papers that receive from 50 to 59 credits are read by the same 312 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT committee a second time to make sure that each question has been fairly rated. Papers that still remain in the doubtful class, if written by pupils in the graduating class or by those expecting to enter training school, are then sent to a general revision com- mittee where they are again twice read. The other plan of cooperative reading may be called the con- ference system. The head of the department or the principal forms a committee of all teachers in each line of work and con- sults with them in regard to the credits that should be assigned the answers in different subjects. The individual teacher is then supposed to follow the suggestions of the committee, consulting the principal or the head of the department only in doubtful cases. This latter plan, while better than none, is not so good as the committee system for two reasons. The pupil does not have the benefit of an average or composite reading and the teacher who is overambitious to seem successful is not so readily checked. On the other hand, the committee system is open to criticism because it does not require that each paper aggregating 60 per cent or more shall also be read as a zvhole. The following conclusions at least seem justified: that many a school of excellent reputation might save itself and its pupils annoyance by adopting some cooperative reading plan; that it is not creditable to a school employing several teachers of the same subject to use two or more systems of ratings for the same set of answer papers; that even in a small school employing but two or three teachers some kind of cooperation in answer rating should be followed, for a principal unfamiliar with a subject may yet combine his experience with an assistant's special knovyledge and be able to give excellent advice. Principals are therefore urged to see to it that all papers sent to the Department are carefully rated according to some definite and settled policy. With proper preparation in the schools for reading answers and with proper organization and supervision there is no reason why the present plan of accepting school ratings in certain sub- jects should not be extended. The rules now prescribe that in the discretion of the Commissioner of Education school ratings shall be accepted in the following subjects: second year English, biology, elementary botany, elementary zoology, physiology and hygiene, elementary alegbra, elementary bookkeeping and busi- ness practice, commercial law, commercial geography and short- hand I. In exercising this discretion the division has found it EXAMINATIONS 313 necessary this year to rate all these papers in about three hundred schools. This has been due quite as much to careless, unsystem- atic marking in the schools as to poor teaching. The experience of the year prompts the suggestion that it might be a better plan to accept all the papers of some schools rather than some of the papers of all schools. The division now undoubtedly spends a great deal of time in marking papers which it can hardly hope to mark more satisfactorily than they are marked in the schools. The records of the year show that forty-four separate schools had between 95 per cent and 100 per cent of the papers which they claimed accepted by the examiners. Of course, changes were made by the examiners in many instances; some marks were raised and many others lowered; but the fact remains that the Department practically agreed with these forty-four schools so far as the acceptance of their papers, was concerned. Again, one hundred fifty schools had between 90 per cent and 94 per cent of their papers accepted. The changes made by the Depart- ment in practically all the papers of these one hundred ninety-four schools we're so slight as hardly to warrant the action. It serves no useful purpose to mark papers which are clearly of a passing grade up or down a few points and it may simply result in disappointment to pupils and annoyance to teachers who, having carefully and honestly rated their papers, naturally have personal pride in having their judgment confirmed. The list of schools above mentioned in- cludes several large thoroughly well-equipped schools whose teach- ing is all departmental and whose faculties are made up of experi- enced and highly trained teachers whose judgment in the rating of papers the Department can hardly hope to improve upon. Our energy is being in a measure misplaced. We need to rate all the papers of many schools known not to be up to the general level in efficiency. May it not therefore now be suggested that it would be wise to accept all papers in the discretion of the Commissioner of Education upon the express understanding that the papers of no school will be accepted in any given group without the advice of the inspector in charge of the group and that the energies of the division be devoted to a very careful rating of such papers as long experience shows ought to have attention? There need be no fear with such a rule that the division will not have all the examining to do which it is able to do as such work ought to be done. It is nothing more than actual waste for the division to 314 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT rerate the papers of a school which has for years had practically all its papers accepted. Moreover, a gradual extension of the plan of accepting the papers of schools maintaining a well-known high standard will do much to eliminate the necessarily arbitrary results of a central examining system. It is hardly too much to hope that registered secondary schools may sometime be brought to such a high standard that the local ratings will be final in all cases. Closely associated with the question of extending the rules for the acceptance of papers is the rather troublesome present ques- tion of appeals from Department ratings. To prevent casual injustice and to exercise special care for doubtful papers, appeals are not only granted but are invited. A principal who does not examine rejected papers with care is not performing one of his undoubted duties. Yet in education as in law, possibly no privi- lege is more liable to abuse than that of appeal. As it seems necessary to limit the privilege, the following announcement has been made to principals : 1 Personal appeals can not be considered. 2 All appeals must be made in writing through the principal or through the superintendent of the school and the reason for appeal must be distinctly stated in each case on a separate paper which should be attached to the appealed answer paper. 3 If the rating of the Department is questioned in the appeal, the appellant should state in regard to each question wherein and why the appellant differs from the Department rating. 4 It is always proper to appeal a doubtful paper if the credits are needed for graduation, a teachers license or college entrance; otherwise, papers regarded as doubtful by the school and after- wards rejected by the Department, should seldom be appealed. The present rules fixing the per cent at which papers shall be accepted are the source of considerable annoyance, due to the fact that papers are accepted at three different standings. A full time paper from a registered school passes at 60 per cent ; a full time paper from an unregistered school passes at 75 per cent; and a short time paper from any school passes at 80 per cent. The division is called upon almost daily to explain the logic of the rules and is often almost at a loss to know how to defend them. The editor of a country newspaper or the business man whose sympathies have been enlisted can never understand why the country boy who has not been fortunate enough to attend EXAMINATIONS 315 an approved school is called upon to obtain a higher per cent than the boy in an approved school. The difference is slight. The majority of pupils who undertake to do academic work outside of approved schools know pretty well what they are about and it is quite impossible to make the public see the justice of what it does not hesitate to call discrimination. Again, the exceptionally bright pupil who is capable of graduating in less than four years can do it only by passing his Regents examina- tions at 80 per cent. In other words, the plodder who may take five years to complete the course may pass at 60 per cent while the hustler is in a way penalized by being obliged to pass at 80 per cent. There is a strong sentiment among high school prin- cipals that it was a mistake to lower the passing mark in the first instance from 75 per cent to 60 per cent, and that scholarship in our high school work has been distinctly weakened by the action. The State Examinations Board might solve the whole question by establishing a uniform passing mark of 75 per cent upon the understanding that principals would in all cases admit to exam- inations only those who had satisfied the time requirement or who had in special cases shown such unusual ability as to war- rant their admission without having actually met the letter of the time requirement. Attention was called last year to the importance of carrying back to the schools any helpful suggestions or criticisms arising out of the Department experience in rating the academic papers. It can not be too often repeated that the Regents examinations exist more for the setting of safe standards and the judging of schools than for the allotting of counts and the judging of boys and girls. The work of the division is but half done when it rates the papers and issues the credentials which are earned. It must find the weak spots in teaching and the loose administrative methods, which are always revealed by an honest and fair exam- ination, and it must go back to the schools with helpful criticisms for the improvement of future work. It can only make the results of the Regents examinations of the greatest service to all the schools by the fullest cooperation with the inspections force. The policy of assigning a subject or group of subjects to' each inspector for which he shall be directly responsible both in the office and in the field, has made such cooperation possible and has already abundantly confirmed the wisdom of the plan. The help which inspectors in charge of groups of subjects have been 3l6 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT able to give to the Examinations Division, even with their neces- sarily crowded assignments, raises the question of the advisability of their devoting their whole time to specialized inspection. Their time is now almost completely taken up with general assignments which the Inspections Division is obliged to place upon them to meet the actual requests for assistance which come to it from the schools. Would it not be wise for that division to have a force large enough to meet all general requests and at the same time to give one man in each group an opportunity to devote himself to a limited field? More and more, principals and teachers look to the Department for assistance in special lines. The men who have been given special work can not do justice to it or to themselves under the present necessary pro- cedure. The Department ought to place upon them the responsi- bility of- becoming leaders in the teaching of their subjects, and it ought to give them the opportunity to measure up to the responsibility. ACADEMIC EXAMINATIONS FOR PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS Special examinations in academic subjects for prospective professional students were conducted as heretofore in Albany, [Buffalo, New York City and Syracuse. The most striking effect of the new rules which prescribe the subjects upon which 60 count qualifying certificates shall be issued has been the reduc- tion of the number of papers written during the year from 31,936 to 21,260. This simply means that a serious attempt to set a reasonable educational standard in these examinations has already eliminated almost a third of the candidates. There has been a distinct gain to the State in this result rather than a loss. The experience of another year very positively con- firms the statements made in the Regents Journal of June 22, 191 1 to the effect that these examinations had for a long time been affording altogether too easy an avenue to the beginning of professional study. There is no doubt that a great many young men have by a sort of dexterity in passing examinations been able to begin professional study without the necessary fundamental training. A further rule which goes into effect in January 1913 requires all applicants for admission to these examinations who are under nineteen years of age to present a certificate of the successful EXAMINATIONS 317 completion of the subjects in which they desire to be examined in some approved school or afford other satisfactory evidence of thorough and systematic training. Under the provision of the rule, the Second Assistant Commissioner has approved the evening high schools of Greater New York and seven private preparatory schools. It is expected that the few students who are admitted upon evidence of private instruction will be held to strict account. The age limit at which candidates will be admitted without offering evidence of preparation will be raised on January i, 1915 to twenty-one years. The enforcement of these rules will in a large measure confine the examinations here- after to a class of candidates who seriously desire a preliminary education rather than to those who are concerned most in securing a certificate of fact. The gradually advancing requirements for admission to all professional schools will also serve to thin out the candidates. These examinations will not be put on a thoroughly sound basis, however, until conditional matriculation in all professional schools is forbidden and until a 72 count certificate is required in place of a 60 count certificate. During the past two years the manner of conducting these examinations has been completely reorganized. Additional proc- tors have been employed and the examinations have been care- fully guarded against fraud. It is now believed that impersona- tion in the examination room is impossible. Summary punish- ment has followed any attempt at fraud. Candidates are obliged to specify in advance the subjects they expect to take so that it is no longer possible for anyone to take a chance on a paper without some previous preparation. These examinations have been the object of considerable study and it is the very clear conclusion of the chief of the division that it is only by the strict enforcement of the regulations and by the exercise of no mis- placed sympathy that this avenue to professional study can be properly safeguarded. TEACHERS EXAMINATIONS During the year candidates for teachers licenses wrote 40,354 answer papers of which over 33,000 or 82 per cent were accepted. As the result of these examinations 2396 teachers secured licenses. Over 1400 elementary and academic certificates valid for two years were granted also as the result of regular Regents examinations in 3l8 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT preliminary and academic subjects. That 82 per cent of the papers written were accepted shows that the examination tests were not unreasonably severe ; but that less than 2400 certificates were earned as the result of over 40,000 answer papers written seems to indicate that examinations for teachers have been needlessly multiplied. The question at least is pertinent, whether in granting teachers certi- fiscates the State might not rely more on the work of the schools and safeguard the scholarship of its teaching force with fewer examina- tions. It should be observed that over 70 per cent of the licenses issued, though based on examinations set by the State, were issued by local authorities. Moreover, the temporary licenses which are issued only by the Commissioner of Education particularly are never granted except in response to the request of local officials. Thus it appears that local authority and local prerogative in the selection of teachers is amply safeguarded. That some local officials do not make a large use of their power in selecting teachers is due not to the overshadowing influence of a system of State examina- tions but primarily to a scarcity of qualified teachers, especially in the rural districts. To relieve this scarcity and thereby to en- courage a more careful selection of teachers by local authorities, to add constantly to the supply of trained teachers, thereby discourag- ing the untrained and the poorly prepared from entering the teacher's vocation, are aims that should enlist the hearty cooperation of all the educational forces of the State. A comparison of the records of teachers examinations for the year 1911-12 with the records of other years subsequent to 1905—6 reveals encouraging tendencies and clearly shows the worth of the plans that were inaugurated in 1905 for improving the teaching force of the State. Since 1905 there has been an average annual gain of over i per cent in the number of professionally trained teachers licensed by the State. More satisfactory still is the fact that in 1911-12, 19 per cent fewer licenses of low grade were issued than in 1905-6; yet the State in 191 1— 12 employed from six to seven thousand more teachers than in 1905-6. Certainly it must be apparent to all that professional training is making large and per- manent additions to the teaching force. Other records than those of the Examinations Division disclose like tendencies. In the 24 year interval from 1886 to 1910, about 20,000 teachers were graduated from the normal schools of the State and the reports show that 8739 normal graduates were teaching in the State in 191 r — a fact that amply refutes the statement frequently made that the average teaching life of a normal graduate is only three years. EXAMINATIONS 319 Again, progress is unmistakably shown in the ever lessening demand for elementary certificates and in the constantly increasing number of applications for the academic certificate. In the year 1908-g, 1013 elementary certificates were issued; in 1909-10, 673; 1910-11, 430; in 1911-12, 329. On the other hand, the number of academic certificates issued has steadily grown from 84 issued in 1906-7 to 1 192 in 191 1— 12. Neither elementary nor academic cer- tificates demand teaching experience or pedagogical training ; neither is valid for a period longer than two years, unless during those years strenuous efforts are made to secure a certificate of higher grade ; yet it is a matter of no small concern that in the near future practically all vacancies in the ranks of elementary teachers will be filled by those whose minimum preparation has been the training of a full four-year high school course. Indeed, it would seem that after 1913, the elementary certificate may be safely abandoned or the requirements for it increased to include two full years of high school study. In one particular the academic certificate is seriously weak ; it does not demand a review of the subject matter to be taught in' the grades. In the four years of high school, pupils may gain much in power but they also lose much in the knowledge of the elementary subjects which they must teach. In districts wh.ere circumstances will permit, superintendents will do well to set additional tests to determine the fitness of high school graduates who apply for aca- demic certificates. It is yet too early to forecast with any certainty the value of the rural school renewable certificate. Valid only in rural schools, this certificate will not be eagerly sought by the am- bitious. In 1909-10, 4 of these certificates were issued; in 1910-11, 65 ; in 1911-12, 156. Another marked sign of progress is seen in the steadily decreasing demand for temporary licenses, of which 1536 were granted in 1907-8 and 726 in 191 1— 12. The number of temporary licenses called for is still too large, though some may always be needed. At present there are districts so remote from well-traveled highways and districts where conditions of living are so crude that qualified teachers can not be secured for them. Teachers of exceptional ability and experience from other states who have never had an opportunity of obtaining a license in this State are sometimes sought for some special purpose. Again, there are many supervisory districts where there are not enough qualified teachers for the schools. To cover all such cases, a large discretion has been given to the Commissioner of Education; but in the exercise of that discretion, the Department relies on the firmness, good judgment and 320 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT patient investigation of local superintendents. The Department has a right to assume that every request for a temporary license is made in good faith, for the supposed good of the school and is based on exact information regarding local conditions. In the state teachers examinations given in August 191 1, 5858 answer papers were written and 4050 were accepted. As the result of these examinations, 18 limited and 53 life state certificates were issued. The life state certificate deservedly is held in highest honor. It may be earned by passing twenty-one different examinations in four successive trials and is valid for life in schools of any grade. It is sought only by the ambitious and won only by the persevering. Since the state teachers examinations were established in 1875, the average number of certificates issued annually has been only 38; yet the value of these examinations should be gaged not by the number of certificates earned but rather by the incentive to self- culture which they provide. If, however, the state certificate is to maintain its high place of honor, especially if it is to be accepted as valid in high schools, the nature of the examinations on which it is based should be changed. Twenty-five years ago, the state certificate probably represented a broader book culture than a college diploma and rightly entitled its possessor to teach in any grade of school. In 1875 and for many years thereafter there were few high schools outside of cities. Secondary education was diffusive, ill organized and standardized only by requirements for college entrance. Large areas in the State were void of educational advantages save those afforded by the rural schools. But educational conditions and ideals have changed much in twenty-five years. The high school itself is supposed to furnish the broad basis of culture for which the present state certificate stands. Many of the academic examinations expect a higher degree of scholarship than that demanded for the state cer- tificate. Instruction in the high school has become largely depart- mental, and intensive training in college or university courses along two or three lines is required of high school teachers. At present therefore the state certificate does not quite satisfy either public demands or educational ideals. It seems fair to assume that the scholarship tests for the state certificate should cover all the broad cultural lines of high school work, that is, four years of English, four years of some foreign language, advanced arithmetic, inter- mediate algebra and solid geometery, physical geography and either physics or chemistry or advanced zoology and advanced botan/, modern and American history. Nor does it seem unreasonable that EXAMINATIONS 32 1 Aw*' the credits for these subjects be earned as honor credentials in regular Regents examinations. The scholarship tests should be sup- plemented after three years of teaching experience by professional tests in methods, school management, school hygiene, applied psychology and school law. These professional examinations should be set to test primarily pedagogical growth and experience. Examination records show that training class and training school pupils wrote a total of over 31,000 answer papers. Of the papers written by training classes, 84 per cent were accepted ; of the papers written by training schools, 90 per cent were accepted. As the result of these examinations, a total of 1858 training class and training school certificates were issued. A comparison of the records of the past year with those of the years subsequent to 1905-6 shows that the increase in training class and training school graduates just about keeps pace with the increase in the total number of teachers em- ployed in the State. The powerful influence of training classes and training schools in maintaining an efficient teaching force is some- times underrated. Together training classes and schools supply nearly as many teachers annually as both colleges and normal schools. While the work done in these classes and schools often lacks breadth, it is usually most purposeful and practical; often it is in- spired by high ideals and guided by personalities of unusual strength and devotion. It is well within the truth to say that hundreds of the very best teachers in the State were prepared for their life work by either the training class or the training school. A comparison of all the records of teachers examinations and of all the teachers certificates issued annually reveals important facts in regard to the function of high schools. There are issued annually in the State of New York more than 6800 teachers certificates and diplomas. About 2000 of these are issued to graduates of colleges and normal schools and about 1800 to graduates of training classes and training schools. But to fill the thousand new positions created each year and the thousand or more vacancies caused by death or resignation, 3000 more teachers are needed and over 2000 of these are found among high school graduates or among high school pupils who have not yet completed their course or among former high school pupils who have failed to earn an academic diploma. The high schools of the State at present are graduating about 10,000 pupils each year, of whom 6000 are women. The number of young men who enter the teacher's vocation is so small that for present consideration it may be disregarded. If now it be considered that II 322 NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 6000 young women who graduate from the high schools must fill classes in colleges, normal schools and training schools and later will become teachers, if it also be considered that high school graduates in ever increasing numbers are entering training classes and that I2CX) or more graduates each year will enter the teacher's calling without any professional training whatever, it will be apparent that nearly if not quite three-quarters of all the young women who graduate from high schools are preparing for the teacher's work. Truly so far as women are concerned, high schools are vocational schools, yet their most important vocational function has received too little attention from school authorities. In high schools main- taining training classes, vocational aims of course are distinctly recognized; but even here the vocational work is so completely set apart from other school activities that the training school becomes a school within the school or a school beyond the school. In other vocational courses, whether business, agricultural, domestic science or mechanic arts, the high school work is so fused with the voca- tional that pupils may complete the cultural and vocational studies in four years and receive the academic diploma. Why should not the training class work also be so organized as to become an integral part of the high school course ? , Since the uniform examinations for teachers were established in 1887, educational facilities in the State have been multiplied three- fold. There is hardly a village of 500 inhabitants lacking a school that gives at least a partial course of academic instruction. More- over, this instruction is practically free to all. Under these condi- tions the claim ought not to seem rash that preparation for teach- ing should be made in the schools and during the regular school terms and that August examinations for teachers are superfluous. In fact, these August examinations are the hope of the hopeless, the refuge of the procrastinator and the one more cast of the examination dicebox. Would-be teachers lacking one or two sub- jects for a certificate eagerly make provisional contracts prior to the examinations to the detriment of those worthy and well quali- fied; while the lateness of these examinations makes it well-nigh impossible for school officials to secure accurate information in regard to the qualifications of these applicants before it is desirable to open school. Again, the continuance of the August examina- tions distinctly perverts the summer school and well-nigh forces it to become a school for cramming. Worse than this, some summer schools are especially organized to prepare teachers for examina- EXAMINATIONS 323 tions and thereby foster the idea altogether too prevalent that the aim of education is the passing of examinations. Summer schools should have a large place and purpose in education; they should provide a resort where teachers may come together for conferences, for enlargement of vision or for special help for special needs. In the summer school, certainly, examinations should be an incident, not a goal. The August examinations in 1912 were held in 182 schools and as a result 357 certificates were issued, classified as follows: train- ing class, 145 ; rural school renewable, 113 ; academic, 33 ; elementary, 66. Certainly the 145 training class pupils who earned certificates at this time had been attending instruction for a year or more and their records as students were on file. On the joint application of training class teacher and district superintendent they should have been able to secure a conditional training class certificate, if they were at all worthy to receive one. In view of the foregoing con- siderations, it is earnestly suggested that August examinations for teachers be discontinued after August 1913. It is the glory of New York State that best of all states it aims to protect its citizens from untrained physicians, untrained dentists, untrained pharmacists, untrained nurses and untrained lawyers. The State has also made a good beginning in protecting its youth from untrained teachers; but so long as one-third of the vacancies in teachers' positions must be filled each year with teachers who have received no special training whatever, much remains to be done. And yet the records of the past seven years are filled with promise. It is evident that the people are demanding better teachers and are paying better salaries. It is evident that the high school graduates are not turning aside from the teacher's calling. It is evident, that in spite of serious defects and much savage criticism, the schools more and more are engaging the attention and the hopes of the people. PROFESSIONAL EXAMINATIONS During the year 26 separate professional licensing examinations were held, 2943 candidates were examined, 14,991 papers were rated by the several examining boards and 2251 licenses were issued. There is an increase of only 66 licenses over the previous year. This is an encouraging sign. There is no lack of professional licentiates to meet the demands of the public. The fact is that the professional schools throughout the country have been turning out 324 ■ NEW YORK STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT an oversupply of graduates. The general and fortunate tendency now is to strengthen entrance requirements and to insist upon thorough professional training. If as a result the number of graduates is not increased or is even lessened, especially in dentistry, law and medicine, the public will be the gainer. Our professional laws have always placed emphasis upon the time element as well as upon intensive study, and now set the standard for the whole country in the time that shall be spent by students and the char- acter of the work that shall be done in all professional schools. We have not been, and are not yet, as careful as we ought to be about the minimum standard of preliminary education. With the very high position that the State takes in the regulation of the medical profession, it ought very soon to insist upon more than the ordinary high school education for beginners. Conditional matric- ulation in any professional school ought soon to be stopped; and immediate steps ought to be taken to stop such matriculation in dental schools. Few persons can do justice to preliminary and pro- fessional work at the same time; and the conditional matriculant almost invariably looks upon his unfinished preliminary work as something to be circumvented if possible. All convenient short cuts for the class of candidates who place more emphasis upon the acquisition of a credential than upon the possession of knowledge should be removed. It is already time to fix and to enforce a definite educational standard for all candidates for admission to registered nurse training schools ; and it is hardly too much to hope that in a few years all such candidates may be required to have a full high school education or its equivalent. The advance- ment of the requirements for qualifying certificates in optometry and in pharmacy ought to be considered; and a first step might be taken by specifying the subjects which would be accepted upon examination for such certificates. No attempt is made here to discuss the operations of the several professional boards. The division conducts the correspondence with all professional candi- dates, conducts the examinations, issues the licenses and makes a detailed report which is more properly discussed in the report of the First Assistant Commissioner. CONCLUSION One can not watch the operation of our great state-wide examina- tion system, reaching from the grades through all classes of schools to professional licensure, without occasionally questioning EXAMINATIONS 325 what the real purpose of such a system is and where the real center of gravity in our whole educational scheme ought to be. Our regulations, which have been subjected to severe tests, are the product of the best thought of many minds. In no case is an examination alone the sole test of a candidate's fitness to possess a given credential or to practise a given profession. The academic diploma, for instance, upon which a teachers certificate may be issued, is earned upon examfinations ; but it is only the official evi- dence that the holder has spent four years of study in an approved secondary school. The state teachers certificate, earned after severe tests, is merely an indorsement of several years of study and of successful teaching experience. The medical licensing examina- tion is only the means which the State uses to . legalize medical ■practice, and the license itself reaches back to the preliminary education and to the four years of serious professional study in a, school which has maintained a standard satisfactory to the State. All our examinations provide for and presuppose thorough and systematic training. The danger in our system lies in the tendency to turn this period of training into a mere preparation for the incidental examination which comes at the end. After their useful purposes have been taken into account, it must be remembered that all examinations are incidental. There is quite as much danger of this fact being forgotten in the schools as in the central depart- mental organization. No examination is ever discontinued by the Department without instant clamor from the considerable number of school men who seem always to have their attention riveted upon counts rather than upon teaching. In and out of the office we need to bend every energy to cut mechanical processes and red tape to the minimum and to keep undue emphasis off mere examining. Whatever excellent results our examination system gains in the orderly issuance of credentials whose face value is good wherever presented and whatever beneficent ends may be gained by the test- ing of the knowledge of individuals, it ought not to be forgotten that the greater usefulness of such a unique examining system lies in the high educational standards which it sets and in the tests to which it submits the institutions, rather than the students, under its supervision. It is well, therefore, that we should at all times be on our guard to prevent our examining system from displacing the real center of gravity of our educational policy.
