Rasmussen based his observation on comprehensive tests given members of the junior class at the school, and on a study of the record of members of that class when they were in the third, sixth and ninth grades. The counselor explained thatthe junior class at Nevada Union High School is one that has ability on the national percentile scale at 63 per cent, a full 13 points above the national average. But 40 per cent of the class is working below its ability, he said. By comparison, only 15 per cent of the class is achieving results above those indicated by ability tests. These figures were taken from the mathematics test. Itis time, Rasmussen said in aninterview, that the county take a look at its curticulum and ask, what are we offering? What are our goals? The need for fundamentals in the educational system seems evident, hesaid, with less emphasis on social adjustment. He suggests that the high school consider a fourpronged program: remedial, basic, standard, and college. In addition, Rasmussen said: there is a need for remedial reading, fundamental mathematics, and basic English classes to help the new high school student elevate his educational backgroundtothe point where he can absorb high school level education. The counselor emphasizes that he is not pointinga finger at the elementary school districts for failing in their duties to teach these subjects. His conclusions are drawn from the testing of only one class in depth and other factors may influence the-results of those tests. Rasmussen hopes that next year's tests of the incoming junior class will help to clarify to what extent the problem is a result of ele© mentary school teaching. Thetests indicate that for reasons unknown some students with very high ability _ are actually working at a level below average in the nation. Many of them are already W.K. Manuel Dies GRASS VALLEY--William Kenneth Manuel, 66, retired director of public works for the City of Grass Valley died Monday night atjones Memorial Hospital. He was the husband of Gertrude Manuel of Grass Valley.

An example is the student with high ability who can read only at the third grade level while attempting to absorb eleventh and twelvth grade work. In the mathematics test, Rasmussen checked back to previous tests given the students. He found a similar pattern at third grade level, a deterioration of the-results at sixth grade level, with improvement noted at ninth grade level. College entrance tests seem to show a correlation which would verify his junior class tests, he said. Community and family background would not seem tobe the major influence in this educational problem, Rasmussen said. Although there are fewer college graduates in Nevada County, adjusting for population, than in California and the nation, there is a higher percentage of people inthe county with at least a fifth grade education than in the nation or California. In high school graduates, the cqunty ranks between the state and’ national averages, white it has an extremely high proportion of the school -age population attending school. The county population percentage in professional and kindred occupations is considerably above the national average althoug h slightly under the state figure. The median school grade completed in Nevada County is11.5compared to 12.1 in the state and 10.6 in the nation. These figures indicate that the county is not an unusual area which should expect sucha high lack of achievement among students with high ability, Rasmussen said. His program to improve the situation as presented to the trustees, included: 1. More emiphasis on the fundamentals of English, mathematics and reading. 2. Greater demands being placed on capable students. 3. Special classes and programs for the academically able and the mentally retarded, 4. Study of student motivation ‘and “lack of interest”. 5. Informing the student and parent of individual achievement com pared to tested ability. 6. Instructional improvement through the hiring of qualified teachers and counselors, possible under the present district salary schedule. 7. Greater communication and cooperation between all schools in the area, especially the elementary, junior and senior high schools: Rasmussen suggested a county-wide curriculum study of policies relative to the promotion of students who have not completed the minimum requirements that might be expected at each grade level. ably. house.
