Use a level which is at least a foot long. Hold the level in the horizontal level position, and measure the 1/4" drop from the position of the level which is one foot from the end. If you have a four foot level, and the space to use it, you can easily measure one inch of drop per four feet, which is the same as 1/4" per foot.
