The following papers collected in this publication were presented for discussion at the Open Court Editorial Advisory Board Meeting in 1970. "Testing, Grades, Standards" by Jacques Barzun discusses the relationship between these three elements and the process of education and of performance evaluation. In "The Limits of Reform in Education" James D. Koerner states that educational change is gradual but vitally necessary business that comes about through pressure applied by dissatisfied persons; he illustrates this thesis by case studies of reform efforts in Massachusetts and California. "Divergent Paths to Educational Change" by Mortimer Smith discusses three paths to change, radical dismantlement of the existing system, salvaging that system with technical aids and pre-packaged materials, and renovating it by reconstruction of aims and methods. "The New Case for the Classics" by John F. Latimer traces the controversial history of instruction in the Classics with mention of new programs for Classics instruction." National Guidelines for Teacher Preparation: Their Purpose, Their Production, and Their Progress" by William P. Viall includes reasons for continuing the work already begun. (JH)
