Excerpt from Scales for the Measurement of English Compositions When educational research in a city school system is carried on jointly by a department of education in a university and the school authorities of that city, it combines two purposes. The department of education engages in it to promote the scientific study of educational problems and to assist in their solution. Its purpose is larger than that of the school system in which the work is done. The city school system engages in such work chiefly to improve educational conditions and practices in that city. Such educational research as is undertaken, therefore, should be of mutual advantage and should combine both purposes. The method of carrying on such research should be cooperative. There should be combined and applied to the solution of such educational problems as are studied, the practical knowledge which teachers, principals and other school workers possess, and the educational insight and exact methods of investigation which the department of education has at its command. To be of the greatest value to the school system such work should be participated in by as large a number of teachers and school officers as can advantageously be used: and the work should never be allowed to become a burden to them. On the other hand, the work should be in charge of a responsible head connected with the department of education who should apply the available resources of the department to the study of problems in the school system. Properly qualified graduate students can participate with advantage and profit to the school system and to themselves. In the prosecution of their research, much purely clerical work is inevitable. This should not be done by the teachers or those in the department of education, but by competent clerks. This study was started and has been carried on in accordance with the foregoing principles.
