The program is being announced under the presently controlling leg islation which requires the Secre- tary of Agriculture to proclaim wheat marketing quotas and acre age allotments on June 1 this vear By recent joint tesolution.

On the basis of the present supply of wheat and present legislation, the legal mini mum wheat support price for the 1960 crop would be 75 percent of parity. In individual farm market ing quotas will be the normal pro duction or the actual preduction from the farm acreage allotment, whichever is larger. Growers in the commercial area who stay within their allotment will be eligible for price support on their entire production. Grow ers who exceed their farm acreage allotments will be subject to mark eting quota penalties if they have more than 15 acres of wheat for harvest.

Some test ; arc J ir -\y ralat-; ed to vocational guidance. Olh“r. tests are helpful but only ind.-; lv.-tly related to career - plan ning. In either case, it becoir“Sj important tint every parin'! know scivcthi: g nb.n t t-.as and 1 what pan they pi.-n in educa tiona! ami vocational planning, i The beginning of standard-! i/ed tests go back a good many! years. The first test was de signed to help pick out children who needed a special kind of training. Both World Wars gave push to the development of testing. Today there are hun dreds of tests, testing to some extent such characteristics as Interests, intelligence, scholastic aptitude, personality, achieve ment in skills or school subjects, mechanical reasoning, space re lations aptitude, and many others. Tests are only tools. They can :be used by the amateur, con fusing both students and par j ents. Or they can be used by the ! professionally trained person, enabling him to help both stu dents and parents. Ordinarily students and par ! ents expect too much from tests. What then are some of the things which parents should know about tests? T‘ sts at best are only samples : of what a person can do or how he feels about something. A test of how well one can do arith metic cannot cover every pos sible arithmetic problem. In building such a test, it is neces sary to pick out a few arith metic problems which separate those that know something from'those that know very lit tle about arithmetic. If a test is a sample, it is im portant to remember th-at a sin gle test may not always show a student’s skill with arithmetic. The sample for some reason or other may be a poor one for some students. On the other hand, if several similar tests show the same trend, we can have more faith in the samples and especially if ■ e same trend continues over a oeriod of time. Interest inventories, when giv en to an adolescent, are good ex amples of tests which can show abrupt changes. Avery unus ual experience may cause a .'r.-.stic change in a student’s in i to: nsts and test results, j The way in which tests are ;':vcn to groups of students may, also have something to do with the results. A student's attitude I toward intelligence tests may I muse scores to differ from time to time. Students may “clutch j up” when given this type of U st. Some may not want to take ; the test in the first place. These | are just a few of the problems |to be considered when trying to make sense from test scores. Tests never make decisions | for anyone. They merely give | bits of information which have | to be viewed in the light of pre vious expcr’cnces. The value of a college aptitude test is in creased wiien it is commrpd • with school marks. Test results and school marks may or may not agree. In either case, the test results become meaningful for students as they have a chance to talk them over with a counselor or a teacher with special training and skills. i Truth may be hard to ascertain, but the search ■ warrants the attention of all individuals. A modern vacation leaves a man unable to . work effectively for at least a week thereafter. The more ignorant an individual is, the more certain he is of his conclusions and convictions. A raise in pay, voluntarily granted by an employer is one of the rarities of economics, and largely explains organized labor.

This “talking it over” gives meaning to the tests. For this reason, the mailing of itest resul.s to students, even though accompanied by explan ations, is not a very good prac tice. Interpreting tests is tricky business, requiring far more knowledge than most people im agine. The I.Q. or intelligence quotient, for example, creates some real problems. For some reason, a child's I.Q. within the average range is a curse to some parents. They forget there are a i lot of average people in the i world. And many of them as sume very important responsi bi'ities. Any time you strike an average, some people by defini li n are going to be above that mark and some below. Sometimes parents forget that test results may vary over a pe riod of time. Johnny's parents found out that his I.Q. was “only 95” when he was in the fourth Thursday, June 18, 1959. grade. In their minds this r lm ber grew way out of proportion to its value. They even mr.vc some remarks about his ances tors. Although actually '.'T! n the average range, Johnny treated from that time or, like a moron. He even began to lieve it himself. Not until son one took time to check (ru * again in the tenth grade •'!<* they discover that another lel gave' different results an C there is no magic in the results of a single test of any kind. These are but a few of th common errors which students and parents make when giver little or inadequate help with test results. By this time, par ents might feel that tests are not valuable. This attitude is prob ably correct when the school does not provide counselors' or specially skilled teachers who can help them get meanings from tests. Testing will become effective when the schools of America make an adequate counseling and testing service available to students and their parents.
