There are at least three parts to the Scholarship program carried on by the State Department of Education in Ohio under the leadership of Ray G. Wood: the Every Pupil Test program in December and April of each year, the State Scholarship Contest in May, and the General Scholarship Test for High School Seniors usually given in March each year. This report is concerned with the Every Pupil Test program only and largely with the geometry test results for December 1930 and 1931. These results have been carefully diagnosed and presented in two bulletins entitled, “The Learning and Teaching of Geometry”1 and “The Ohio Survey of Elementary Mathematics.”2 It shall be the purpose of this paper to present some of the most striking results given in those bulletins.

In the April number of the monthly bulletin published by the California State Department of Education, there appeared the following statement: “Replies from 324 public high school principals establish that more than half of these institutions have moved algebra from the ninth to the tenth grade. Plane geometry is an eleventh year subject in more than a third of these schools; in some, it is even postponed to the twelfth year.”

“I enrolled in this course merely to complete the college entrance requirements … Now I wish that I could study geometry all the rest of the time I am in high school.” The fifteen-year-old writer of the preceding statement had little interest or ability in mathematics. Early in the course he tried to explain a postulate by a highly-prized “picture of one.” With I.Q. (Terman) 98, he ranked in the third quartile of eighty-five tenth grade pupils who formed our experimental group. He kept a detailed notebook of theorems and daily assignments, written up in his own words. At the end of the year he confided that he had never seen inside a geometry book. He took the Cooperative Plane Geometry test, Revised Series Form Q, of the American Council of Education with a score of 25.5, about 40 per cent above the standard for the country as a whole.

High Achieving

The presence of students in a tertiary institution is an absolute requirement that must be met. IAIN Padangsidimpuan applies three different types of selection of new student candidates. These include the National Academic Achievement Selection (Seleksi Prestasi Akademik Nasional/SPAN - PTKIN), the State Islamic College Entrance Examination (Ujian  Masuk  Perguruan  Tinggi  Agama Islam Negeri/UM - PTKIN), and Independent Exams. SPAN - PTKIN is intended to recruit prospective new students from high achieving students. However, many prospective students who passed the SPAN-PTKIN pathway did not re-register again. This condition occurs almost every year. SPAN - PTKIN is intended to recruit prospective new students from high achieving students. However, many prospective students who passed the SPAN-PTKIN pathway did not re-register. This condition occurs almost every year. This has led to the presumption that there is a tendency for prospective new students from high achieving students through the SPAN-PTKIN pathway to have low interest in continuing education at the Padangsidimpuan IAIN. So it needs to be investigated how the actual image of IAIN Padangsidimpuan among high achieving students and other related aspects. This is important as input for improving the selection system for prospective new students or making decisions in the planning of promotion strategies for Padangsidimpuan IAIN in the future. This research is a descriptive quantitative research. The population of this study was all high achieving students at the State High School / Islamic High School level in Padangsidimpuan City. The main instrument was a questionnaire distributed to 220 respondents, which were selected by purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed by t-test and ANOVA. Data processing is done by SPSS software. From the results of data processing, it is known that the overall Iangs Padangsidimpuan imagery among Padangsidimpuan City achievers is included in the "good" category, with a value of 3,2353 from the maximum scale of 5. The t test results are known that, the Islamic High School students' point of view regarding the image of IAIN Padangsidimpuan is better than state school students. Therefore, it is necessary to do more frequent promotion to the state schools. From the ANOVA test results it is known that there is actually no difference in the image of the IAIN Padangsidimpuan between groups of respondents from different family classes. This indicates that IAIN Padangsidimpuan does not need to differentiate promotion methods for students from economically well-off families, middle class, or poor families.

Outstanding Work

Miss Vevia Blair,1 for many years Head of the Department of Mathematics in the Horace Mann High School for Girls, did outstanding work experimenting with new material in senior high school mathematics. She brought her unusual imagination and originality to bear on the problems of unifying the different branches of elementary mathematics, coordinating mathematics with other subjects, using the arts to make mathematics and its history vivid and satisfying, and presenting the material of elementary mathematics as a means to some immediate accomplishment. She believed that the cultural obon the Sundial, she envisioned as an outlet for the knowledge gained in the study of demonstrative plane geometry, and as a means of fulfilling the objectives which she felt to be so important.

Work Done

In the October 1929 number of the Mathematics Teacher there appeared a report of individual work done in ninth grade algebra1. The following report may be of interest as a description of an attempt to teach plane geometry by an individual instruction method. It was used in the Russell High School of the Southeastern State Teachers College, Durant, Oklahoma during the winter and spring of 1927-28. The class used was composed of about twentyfive members which were all the pupils taking geometry in this particular school. The text book in use was the state adopted text of Oklahoma, Newell and Harper's Plane Geometry, published by RowPeterson and Company.
