Pledges to the United States flag and the 4-H flag were recited. Roll call was taken and the minutes were read. We had a report on the promotion committee and they were glad to state that they made a lot of progress during 4- H Week and hope to keep it up all year long. During 4-H week, each 4-H club sets up a window display in the store window of their choice, to promote 4-H. The winners were as follows: First, Lincoln Cloverleaves; second, Community Builders; third, Harvard Prairie Toppers. The constitution revision was tabled until the November meeting. 4-H jackets are available for those who would like them. For prices and more information call the 4-H Extension office. The next Federation meeting will be Nov. 18. The program for the November meeting will be the officers' training school. We have some fine guests planning to speak to the new club officers who attend. After the meeting was ad­ journed, the fun began. It started with our annual judging of the Halloween costumes. The judges commented that it was very hard to judge since there were so many to pick from and they were all great. Just looking at all of them, you could see that it took imagination along with hours of time and effort. Winners were as follows: Funniest, Jack Gariola, Donna Swanson, Edna Linhart and Misty Shultz; most original, Recently, Johnsburg Public School District 12 was informed that it has been funded for its second Title III state grant for Innovation in Education this fall. This grant, in the amount of $8,000, will assist Johnsburg school in measuring and collecting data in their new Middle school and the Junior high school concerning one or more of the following: Interest, value, liking school-self-and others, critical thinking, self- concept, independence and-or social awareness. It is expected the Johnsburg School Pupil Personnel Ser­ vices team will utilize socio- metric ratings, records of behavior problems, surveys, in- service sessions with parents, and other types of instruments to be chosen as part of the project to accomplish the above tasks. The problem is simply this: In our modern society the type of person that our learner is becoming is very important. . Some of Johnsburg school's goals state that the learner should grow as a person while learning the traditional 3 'R's' and body of knowledge that is deemed appropriate. But how do we measure this? University consultants, visits to other schools, and a one- week workshop in June, 1975, will focus on solving the problem of collecting data and supplementing measures of scholastic aptitude that is already collected in schools. For instance, perhaps math and science teachers can collect more data concerning critical thinking, and coming to logical conclusions. This has been one of the goals of science programs, and measures will be developed and-or chosen to assess how well pupils are progressing toward these goals. Social studies tfeachers will probably be collecting more data concerning such goals as awareness of social behavior and problems and-or democratic behavior. English, Reading, and Learning center personnel will probably be collecting and interpreting more data about independent reading and study as a result of the project. Fine and applied arts may develop measures % and records of performance Kathy Samen, Cindy Byron, Donna Doherty, Cris Byron and Michelle Brossman; prettiest, Colleen Samen, Vicky Carr, Alane Zinke, Laura Jacobs and Darlene Crowder; ugliest, Jane and Mike Atchison, Kim Fraase and Darrell Simmons.

The project will focus on th^ Middle and Jucuor high seboolsf What coyhi be developed would be a system of evaluation in­ tricately Related to the teaching process sb that the kinds of data and leed-nack would flow from the learner and the teacher out of the teacher learning situation. It is expected that the child's personal folder may become a significant com­ ponent of the construct. Some external sorts of testing and measuring from the Pupil Personnel Services would form a "super structure" on the foundation of the classroom instruction 'and the data generated there. Interwoven into this whole scheme would »be links of communication and feed-back from parents and community. Time lines for the project are: By Nov. 15, Consultants contracted; Nov. 15 to Dec. 30 - Plan activities to achieve ob­ jectives, in-put from school personnel and community. Also, consultants define more accurately the attitudes and affective domain objectives that are most important to assess. Jan. 1 to March, 1975 - Tools to measure selected, reviewed, and developed. An in-service assessment model is developed and pilot studied. .March 2, to April 30, - Research design is created relating to the project; May 1 to June 1, - data from pilot study is tabulated. In June, 1975, a workshop is held with Johnsburg project staff, OSPI personnel, and con­ sultants to finalize this project, refine the model, in-service training for future, evaluate data, create a replicable model, etc. Three other schools in northern Illinois have already been identified as attempting similar project objectives. Visitation to these schools, and school visitation George Youngj^fhiversity of Illinois Extension adviser in McHenry/county, recently participated in an agricultural finciwee workshop in St. Louis.
