to get the coveted post. Every mail thar goes

VOCATIONAL TRAINING BY PSYCHOLOGY

Teaching by applied psychology is an agile on
vocational training that is attracting much at
|tcntion in the United States now and may be
studied by those who will establish the vocation.
al work here under the legislatures appropria-
ten.
DR. Leonard =. Ayres of the Sage Founda-
ton, has just summed up a number of psyche
logical tests for positions actually put into prac-
tce in modern industry. Thus the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company engaged
Pref. Munsterbcrg to introduce a test for deter
mining which applicants were likely to prove
good telephone operators The girls were exam
ined with reference to 'memory, attention, gen
eral intelligence, space perception, rapidity of
movement, accuracy Of movement, and associa-
ton The results showed that the girls who
qualified i'm the tests were the most efficient in
practical service, while those who stood at the
foot Of the list failed later and left the com
pany's employ.
Prof Munsterberg has also tested street-car
motormen by elaborate apparatus, with view
to selecting those least likely to be responsible
for accidents. AS a result of his experiments he
came to the significant conclusion that the APP
plication of such test on motormen would re-
suit in the rejection of about p per cent of those
now employed.
Mr. $. E. Thompson used Hreaction-time
tests in selecting girls for the work of inspect
ING for flaws in the steel balls used i'll ball-bcar-
ings The final outcome was that thirty-fve
girls did the work formerly done by 100; the ac-
culacy of the work was increased by siXtysiX
per cent; the girls wages were doubled; the
working day decreased from 1912 to ST.
hours; and the profits of the factory increased.
Another set Of psychological tests aims to Sc
lect 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
DIR. AyTes sees great possibilities in psychic
logical tests for choosing the right persons for
Jobs He SAYS: .When the best possible adjust
ment shall have been attained between work and
workman, each one will have his full opportu
nity to achieve at least something for common
wealth and commonweal. The task of the world
will be better done and the workers will receive
greater rewards, deeper JOY, and fuller satisfac-
ton in their doing

A CHANCE FOR HOME ROAD. builder

With the development of homestead tracts
and small farming districts in many parts of the
islands, the territory's road-buiders should be
giving some practical instruction to the farmers
as is being done in many states. instruction in
agriculture is only half of the course that the
farmer of today needs to take He must know
not only how to raise his product, but how to
provide transportation for it at low cost.
The territory is doing comparatively little
beltroad building during the present two-year
period. The belt-road construction of the period
Just past aroused much criticism of various
kinds, a good deal of it directed against the loan
fund commissions The result is that many dis
tricts now are needing highways and there is lit
tie chance for the highways to be driven at pub
lie expense. Under similar conditions, farmers
of mainland states have been glad to cooperate
in making roads needed for the transportation of
their commodities to market, and as they came
to building the roads, they found their knowl-
edge inadequate. Then came the federal govern
ment with its practical instruction through the
office of public roads in Washington. The lat
est development of this beneficial system is told
in a bulletin from the United States department
of agriculture.
Arrangements are to be made by the depart
ment of agriculture through Logan Waller
Page, director of the office of public roads, to
place on exhibition at the Panama Pacific EXi
position in 1915 the greatest collection Of road
models ever displayed in any part of tire world.
The models will furnish exact duplicates of the
old Roman roads, French roads, and all Of the
various types of modern roads, together with
miniature models of road machinery operated by
electricity
The office of public roads made an exhibit of
road models for the first time at the Aaska-Yu
kon-Pacific Exposition. The aim was To put on
view such striking examples in miniature of
road models that visitors would not only appre
ciate the beneficent effects of improved high
ways but would at the same time, be able TO un
derstand the methods of their construction
Since the AaSka-Y ukon-Pa Exposition
closed the exhibit has been displayed at Omaha
Neb, during the National Corn Exposition; al
Knoxville Tenn, during the Southern Appala
chan Exposition; at Chicago, ILL.,, during tho
National Land and Irrigation Exposition; al
New York city during the Travel and Vacation
Exposition and the Domestic Science EXpoSi
ton; at Atlantic City \. j., during the Amer
lean Road Congress; at Lethbridge. Alberta
during the International Dryland Congress; II
Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the lnterna
tional Agricultural Exposition; at Turin, Italy
during the International Exposition; and a
various other eXpoSitons and fairs. Since thai
time the collection has been greatly augmented
until every single type of road is now represent
ed, and every known device used in the maxim:

TIME CLOCKS
ON The PENNSY
TRACK WALKERS

Move alongl Move alonsl Move
alongl" necessarily chirp the little
clocks with which the track walkers
on sections of the Pennsylvania rail-
read have been equipped.
A track walker is supposed to walk.
His title is not honorary and his jon
is not a sinccure-unless he trans
forms it into one, and that is against
orders.
Upon his walking and his watchfHl-
ness depend the lives of thousands Of
travellers, for he is supposed to ascer-
tain that every inch of rail on his
beat" is fit for the safe passage Of
locomotives and cars.
Until recently the company relied
solely upon a card system to keep
tab" upon these employees. This was
an excellent incentive TO good walking
until some track walker, who some
day may be president of a railroad,
discovered that a friendly station
operator, with a few strokes of his
pen, could cover miles of ground. The
operators we're Instructed TO sign the
cards of the track walkers when they
at their station. Collusion
between the card-bearer and the sign
or was possible. and the company cast
about FOR a system whic.- would elm
mate IL.
The move along" clocks we're the
answer. Patrol stations have been in
augurated along the track walkers
beats. Each station has a different
key Each key registers differently
from every other key. To have a clean
sheet in his clock the walker must
visit each patrol station There is no
possibility Of collusion between him
and keys, whereby he can sit on pile
of ties and dream away the time that
should be spent in walking.
Move along! Move along!" chirp
the clocks.
