indeftnsibly late in starting the fight fer sugar

organization. Had the present activity on the

VOCATIONAL TRAINING BY PSYCHOLOGY

vocational training that is attracting much at

studied by those who will establish the vocation

tion.
Dr. Leonard p. Ayres, of the Sage Founda-
,tion, has just summed up a number of psyche
logical tests for positions actually put into prac-
tice in modern industry Thus the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company engaged
Prof. Munsterberg to introduce a test for deter
mining which applicants were likely to prove
good telephone operators The girls were exam
med 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 in 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
panys 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 ap-|
plication of such a test on motormen would re-

Nashville.-The promotion of educa-

of money in these days of educational
advancement, as may be readily con-
Guided from the exhibits given below.
The report of the comptrol.er on July /,
1913, was as follows:
Chapter 26+, acts of 1903, known as
the general education bill, provides that
rs per cent CT the gross revenue OF the
state shall be paid into the general cdu-
cational funo and the comptroller of the
treasury is directed to pass on the first
day of January and the first day of July
of each year to the credit of said fund
the amount due according to The pro-
visions Of said act.
The gross revenue from January l.,
1912, to July l, 1912, was $685., 69221.
Twenty-Five Fer cent OF this, which is
placed to the credit of schools amounts
to $723,173.05. In accordance with the
act, this amount has been divided as tcl-
lows:
