Competitive Examinations as Brain
Power,


The present /, an agc OF competitive
examinations, vet these afford hut an
Imperfect test Of hrain-powcr; for, after
time, competitive examinations be-
come less and less efficient a. true tests
Of intelligence. and sink into a sort Of
take the following eases: Brown j. the
son of an Indian officer who died When
hi, hoy was ten wears old. aud left his
widow badly off Young Brown is in
tended for the ROYAL Military Academy,
Woolwich; hut his mother, means do
not enable her 10 send him 10 a first
class "crammerS. 50 he ha> 20 Sit be-
meath the average Schoolma,tcr. He
works hard and thinks q grea, deal, and
gains a fair knowledge Of the subject,
he is required to learn. He goes mp TO
the competitive examination a. Wool
wich, and find, each question 81 COM
plicatcd that h. is utterly puzzled; and
when the results of the examination are
made known, Brown is nearly last on
the list
On the other hand, Smith is the son
of a wealthy tradcsman who wishes his
son to enter n cadet at Woolwich,
Young Smith Is sent early in life to a
successful 'crammcr's. to he fat
tened with knowledge as turkeys are
crammed for Christmas. The crammer
does not conline his attention to teach
ing his pupils; but he watches the ex-
animation papers set at Woolwich, and
he finds that the examiners have each n
peculiar fad, and set their questions
in sort Of rotation. He look, careful
ly over these. and he forms a kind Of
estimate OF the questions which are
likely to be set At any particular exam
nation be therefore trains his pupils
for those questions. and is often so sue
ccs,lul IN hi, predictions that at least
half the questions have been worked
ont by thr." pupils week before the
examinations and this result is obtained
without any COLLISION between the
cranmcr and the examiner. On one oc-
casiou that wc know Of, seven questions
out Of paper of thirteen were predict
ed rs due ami the pupils cOnsc-
qucnNN ~ TINS clailmcr we're most sue
ccs,ful at this competitive Young
Smith !, thu, trained, and passes say
fifth ont Of a long list, and is consider
ed, as far rs this test is concerned, to
possess brain-powcr far beyond that Of
the unfortunate Brown, who was nearly
last in thi, same examinations
Twenty years clap,c, and Smith and
Brown meet. Smith has logged on in
the usual routine; he may have never
either said or done a foolish thing.
Brown, on the other hand is man OF
wide reputation, has written clever
hooks, and done many clever things;
yet people who know his early history
say how strange it was. that he was 50
stupid when be was Young, for he was
lgnominiousl spun Mt Woolwich.
Those who thus speak imagine that
the examination at which Smith sue.
cccdcd and Brown failed was a test OF
their brain-power Ii was in reality
nothing Of the kind; il was merely a
test of the relative experience of those
who trained Smith and Brown "Pop1.
