QUALIFICATION TEST.
BY May De Witt TaImage

l read an article the other day
telling how the superintendent of
the city public employment bureau
is going TO make the first attempt at
scientific character analysis
He has devised a"vocational guild
ance application blank" to be filled
out by minors applying for employ
ment. Altogether, there are sc ques-
tons, and the answers must be fill
ed out by the applicant in his own
handwriting.
Then. someone familiar in a
scientific character analysis, will help
the boy in deciding on what studies
he should pursue to increase his
qualifications.
How few of us know our qualif-
cations, let alone how to increase
them. Emerson says. Every man
has the whole capital in him, but
does not know how to turn it. Every
man knows all that Plato and Kant
can teach him. Yet for the inertia
and phelm Of his nature he exists as
flint. he, that should be the sun"
What a help then ii will be for
some boy to be asked: What is
your greatest ambition ?" Can't you
see the puzzled look that would
come over most boys faces, when
confronted with that question, pro-
vided. of course. they have passed
the age when they wanted TO be a
circus rider. Is it not a great thing
for a boy to start out with a visual
lied goal.
The next question: Are you will
ing 10 pay the price in hard work TO
obtain success ?" That's a big con-
tract TO sign, but it's the only kind
that will lead one on to success.
It's quite a different code from the
old fashioned boys idea of playing
hockey" any time he could. and
getting through his studies with as
little work as possible.
Again the question is asked: Does
your mind concentrate or skip
around ?" We might all apply that
question to ourselves, for that fail
ing applies TO the grown ups as
we'll as the boys.
Also, among the questions 1 find:
Are you inclined TO be lazy?" That
surely is something TO be cured, If
the answer is Yes"
IT seems to me it would be a
good thing in some, if some of the
grown ups could have the charac-
ter test applied to them. 1t might
give some OF us a needed prod, and
vitalize us where we have brown
sluggish or lazy. Then there would
be fewer misfits and inefficients.
At a crowded meeting Of the un-
employed the other night, some one
remarked that the greatest need for
them all, was a plan-an individ-
ual plan. The What. can I dO?"
can be answered by no one but our
selves. and qualification test would
help US all answer this question.
