ful telephone operator? You will
save the company's time and your
own by undergoing a psychological
examination to determine your fit
hess for the position. Psychology
plays q prominent part in the va
rious plans for vocational guidance
currently reported to the United
States Bureau of Education, by
Rleans of which scientists hope to
devise ways of measuring people
with regard to their qualifications
for certain kinds of work.
DR.. Leonard P. Ayres, of the Sage
Foundation, has just summed up a
number of psychological tests for
positions actually put into practice
in modern industry. Thus the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany engaged Prof. Munsterberg to
introduce a test for determining
which applicants were likely to
prove good telephone operators. The
girls were examined with reference
to memory, attention, general intel
ligence, space perception, rapidity If
movement, accuracy of movement,
and association" The results showed
that the girls who qualified in the
tests were the most efficient in prac-
tical service, while those who stood
at the foot of the list failed later
and left the company's employ.
Prof. Munsterberg has also tested
street car motormen by elaborate
apparatus, with a view to selecting
those least likely to be responsible
for accidents. AS a result of his
experience he came to the signifl
cant conclusion that. the application
of such test on motormen would
result in the rejection of about %
per cent of those now employed
Mr.. S. z. Thompson used re
action-time tests" in selecting girls

FARM lNSUR TRANCE.

Farmers in various counties who
desire to associate themselves iltc
mutual protective and cooperative So
cieties can now do so. according TO
a new insurance bill which was given
final approval Friday by Governor
Cruce. A for 3lCr law has heretofore
prevented such associations incorpo-

insuring against loss to farm proper

by an assessment of its members.
Representative c. C. Childers Of

such bills vetoed by the governor just
following the close OF the regular
session of the legislature. This meas

ings. The final outcome was that
S5 girls did the work formerly done
by 120; the accuracy of the work
was increased by &C per cent; the
girls wages were doubled; the work
ing day decreased from 10 IL hours
to 1-2 hours and the profits OF
the factory increased.
Another set of psychological tests
aims to select positions for persons,
rather than persons for positions,
but not much has really been done
in this field The difficulties in the
way of both kinds of tests may be
inferred from the fact that there
are something like 10000 separate
kinds of gainful occupations in the
United States.
DR.. Ayres sees great possibilities
in psychological tests for choosing
the right persons for jobs. He says:
"When the best possible adjustment
shall have been attained between
work and workman, each one will
have his full opportunity to achieve at
least something for commonwealth
and commonweal. The task of the
world will be better done and the
workers will receive greater rewards,
deeper joy, and fuller satisfaction
in their doing"

Contaminated Vegetables.

As water supplies are more care
tully inspected ana their tendency
to spread typhoid more and more les
sened, the other actors in the dissem-
ination of the disease are becoming
better recognized Among these one
of the most important is the consump-
tion of vegetables without cooking.
AS they can be washed only in cold
water, and as frequently they may
have been exposed to dust and dirt
of various kinds they are naturally
capable of becoming carriers of dis
ease under certain circumstances. The
health departments of many cities
now require, very properly, that such
vegetables shall not be exposed openly
for sale on the streets to be contain
mated by street dirt and to be the
resting-place of flies, but OF course
it Is of no avail to safeguard them
during sale if they have been contain
mated previously. Their handling be-
fore they come to market and the con-
ditions under which they have been
grown are therefore extremely import
ant. In certain portions Of the Uni
ted States it is not uncommon to use
sewage as it issues from the sewer
age systems Of cities or towns fol
irrigation purposes. In several COM
munities, owners Of large vegetable
gardens collect night-soil, and furnish,
clean and change the reCeptacles, free
of charge to the householder. Among
the oriental peoples the custom OF us.
ing night soil as a fertilizer in veg
etable gardens has obtained from time
immemorial. Certain Of the northern
nations of Europe also have had this
custom, and have brought 1t with them
to this country. The truck farms near
our large cities, especially in the east,
are coming more and more into the
hands of foreigners, many of them
Syrians while in the west the Chinese
have invaded this branch of farming
and naturally bring with them the
customs of the countries in which they
have lived. Some of the Oriental peo-
pies of the near-east, particularly the
Greeks and the Armenians, in increas-
ing numbers are growing and handling
the vegetables of our larger cities.

TEACHERS FOR PHILIPPINES
Eighty.Five American Teachers Sail
ed Yesterday.

San Francisco, Cal, May 4.-There
sailed from this port for Manila yes
terday on the steamer Mongolia,
eighty-five American men and women
teachers This number was selected
from a large eligible list certified
by the United States civil service
commission as having the necessary
education and experience and having
passed the required examination for
the Philippine teaching service
They came from nearly every
state in the union. representing some
of the best universities, colleges and
normal schools in this country. Most
of them are college graduates, some
have done graduate work in the uni
versities and others have pursued
technical courses preparing them to
take charge of agricultural work,
manual training and trade school
work and domestic science.
A fact not generally known is that
the average term of service of Amer
ican teachers in the Philippines Is
near six years, almost a year longer
than the average service of teach
ers in this country.
Those sailing from here yesterday
go to the Philippines under a two
ic
made to enable the government TO
ascertain whether or not the teach
or Will succeed in the new field and
also to give the teacher chance TO
| find out whether there is sutfi-
cent future to the service to war
rant him in remaining. That there
are only eighty-five vacancies this
year out of nearly seven hundred
positions for American teachers n
the service, indicates, as several Of
| the teachers who sailed yesterday
say, that those already on the ground
have the greatest faith in the future
of the educational work in the ISL
ands
These new teachers say that their
salary, as we'll as all the expenses
of the trip, is paid from Philippine
revenues, that the federal govern
ment pays no part of the cost of
education in the Philippines, not
withstanding the fact that nearly
three ana a half million dollars are
spent each year on the schools Of
the Islands.
When these teachers sailing on
the Mongolia yesterday get ready to
return to the United States, either
on leave of absence or by resigna-
ton at the end of two or three
years of service, the Philippine gov
ernment will pay them, in addition to
salary up to the last day of service.
an amount of money sufficient TO pay
their transportation home, either via

say they expect to take advantage OF
the opportunity to come home through

here will take about month as the
