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

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. In His
name we pray. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The Easter fact gives hope to our hearts and meaning to our
lives.
