School District 56 To Participate In Testing Program Laurens County School District 56 will participate this month in the National Guidance Testing Program, designed to reduce the costs hi school testing and in crease ihe usefulness of test re sults to the school and individual students Participating schools select tests to be given from either ori both of two modern test series. Single answer sheets accommo date answers to as many as seven tests and are electronically scor- able Score interpretations are re ported on special forms which make results more meaningful. ’’Electronic scoring eliminates the task of hand-scoring,” declar ed R P Wilder, assistant super intendent, "and the variety of test reports, which gives us a com plete testing picture fer each stu dent. greatly increases the useful ness of the results.’’ Schools choose the tests to be given from the School and College Ability Tests and from the Se quential Tests of Educational Progress Both are published by the Cooperative Test Division of Educational Testing Service. Princeton. N J The school may select the former which measures general ability, and any or all of six areas of the latter which as sess the application of subject area knowledge to new situations. ‘We will use both in our NGTP testing," stated Mr. Wilder ' These tests offer a measure of school ability and application of learning rather than retention of memorized facts.” The spring scoring period for NGTP extends from April 20-28 Whitmire Downs Thornwell Here The Whitmire Wolverines be hind the three hit pitching of righthander Bill Wilson downed Thornwell, 9-4, here Tuesday.

NASHVH.il TfMMfSSH THE WORLDS MOST WlbElY USED DEVOTIONAL CUIDE Read Matthew 28:1-8 , , v Fer not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which Was crucified, lie is not here: for he is risen, as.be said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. (Matthew 28:5,6) During the dark days of World War I, Air Pilot Smith, now Bishop Angie Smith, heard Harry Lauder, the great singer of Scot land, when he sang to 1,100 officers and men at a chapel service at a camp in Arkansas Before singing, Harry Lauder said: “Comrades, my son, my only child, was killed in battle two years ago. My heart was crush ed. 1 said 1 would never sing again. 1 looked dojvn the road to dissipation to kill my grief. “Then I decided to travel a road that was to lead me up a hill, I found it a rough and rugged road, but I traveled it to the end. There I found the grave of my son and a cross upon it. There my burden of sorrow was lifted, and I received new hope and the im pulse to sing again. “Now I can sing with more assurance than ever before, for I know that because the one who died on the cross of Calvary lives, my son also lives, and some day I shall see him again. That is the Easter message. PRAYER Our Father, we thank Thee for Thy redeeming love, which, through Thy Son who suffered, died, and rose from the dead, saves us from sin and death.
