Excerpt from Report of a Survey of the School System of Butte, Montana, 1914 The commission endeavored from the first to make it clear that they would be willing to discuss the needs of the school system with any representative body in the city who might care to invite them to meet for a discussion of these problems. During the course of the Survey they accepted invitations to attend meetings of the Silver Bow Trades and Labor Council, of the supervisors and principals of the public school system, of the teachers' union, of the city parents-teachers' association, of the Woman's Club, and of the Chamber of Commerce. Upon the suggestion of some of the teachers who were interested in the tests given to children, a meeting of the whole teaching corps was held in order to acquaint teachers with the nature of the tests given and to enable them to understand the methods used in scoring results. Another meeting of the teaching corps by grade groups was held for the discussion of problems peculiar to the different groups of teachers. As has already been suggested, the purpose of the Sur vey had to do mainly with suggesting possibilities for im proving the opportunities of the children in the public schools. To accomplish this end, all the members of the commission spent the first week during which they were at work in Butte upon the Survey, in visiting the class rooms.
