The Twenty-Five Cent Gamble
This story is a true, revealing, and sometimes shocking insight into the little known world of educational test publishing and the gamble that led the flamboyant Ethel Clark to become one of the industry's major players. How she grew the business (once known as California Test Bureau, now CTB/McGraw-Hill) and dealt with the IRS, the unions, the U.S. Army, and her scholarly husband, Willis, was far from traditional, and her personal life was often scandalous. Ethel's drive to "be somebody," her disregard for conventional behavior, and her foresight in adopting leading-edge technology contrasted sharply with the persona of her husband Willis Clark, Ed.D. Willis was a pioneer in educational testing, who dedicated his life to the development of many nationally used educational tests and always emphasized the importance of designing tests with results to "help the teacher help the child." Ethel and Willis greatly influenced the growth and prominence of one of America's significant but controversial industries. An Appendix highlights test development from conception to the application of test results.

One Proud Legacy: Two Powerful Companies traces McGraw-Hill’s roots in the emerging railroad industry and explores the remarkable opportunities to come as it separates into two independent companies, one focused on education, the other on the global capital and commodity markets. Following the sale of McGraw-Hill Education (expected early 2013), the company’s shareholders are anticipated to rename the company McGraw Hill Financial. The new company will include some of the most well-known names in finance and business, including Standard & Poor’s, S&P Capital IQ, S&P Dow Jones Indices, Platts and J.D. Power and Associates. McGraw Hill Financial and McGraw-Hill Education will continue the mission set out by founder James H. McGraw in 1888: give people the insight and essential intelligence they need to make decisions vital for their future.
