PSYCHOLOGY AND JOBS.

Are you looking for a job as motor mani Prove your ability by psychol- ogy. Will you make a good chauf- feur? Submit to mental test and find out. Would you be a success fuI telephone operator? You will save the company's time and your examination to determine your fitness for. the position. Psychology plays a prominent part in the various plans for vocational guidance currently re- ported to the United States Bureau of Education, by means of which scien- lists hope to devise ways of measuring people with regard to their qualifca- tions for certain kinds of work.
 Dr. Leonard P. Ayres. of the Sage Foundation, has just summed mp a number of psyehologfca1 tests for po- sftions actually put into practice tn
 modern industry. Thus the Amerf- can Telephone and Telegraph Com papy engaged Prof. N1unsterberg 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 inteI1i- gence, space perception. rapfdity of movement, accuracy of movement. and association" The results showed that L11S S4I1S W14O QOd14110u III LIl6 lS3SIS were the most efficient in practical 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 ap-. parAtus, with a view to selecting those least likely to be responsible for ae-s ctdents. As result of his expert ments he came to the significant oon- clusion that the application of such test on motormen would result in the rejection of about 25 per cent. of those now employed.
 MT. s. F. Thompson used reaction time tests in selecting girls for the work of inspecting for flaws in the steel balls used in ball bearings. The final outcome was that 35 girls did the work formerly done by 120; the accuracy of the work was increased by 66 per cent; the girls wages were doubled; the working day decreased from 03z hours to SK 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 i field. The difficulties in the way of 1 both kinds of tests may be inferred from the fact that there are some | thing like 10000 separate kinds of i gainful occupations in the United l States.
 pr. Ayres sees great abilities in | psychological tests for choosing the 1 tight persons for jobs He says: When the best possible adjustment I ;halI have been attained between work and workman, each one will | nave his full opportunity to achieve tt least som ething for commonwealth Gnd commonweal. The task of the world will be better done and the workers will receive greater rewards leeper joy, and fuller satisfaction in heir doing.''

Stability of Skyscraper.

The recent demolition of one OF
the first skyscrapers erected in New
York City was the occasion of a
number of surprises to inquirers
and scientific men and proved con-
clusively the stability OF the steel
construction frame.
Very many eminent civil engi-
neers have contended from the out
set that no steel frame could posi-
bly, escape rust, and that sooner or
later the building must collapse
from this cause. The New York
skyscraper, however, was found in
excellent condition, especially the
steel part of it, which showed no
signs whatever of deterioration
from rust, although some of the riv-
cts were slightly corroded. The
paint, however, had almost entirely
disappeared, owing to some kind of
chemical action This proved the
necessity of some better and more
durable kind of paint.
But the most surprising part of
the examination was that the build
ing showed the greatest stability
just where the experts predicted
there would be the most decay
that is, in those parts surrounded
by or encased in mortar.-Harper' S
