Reception to Imperial Potentate.

The reception to Imperial Potentate
Ovenshire was marked with an incl
dent that gave special dignity to the
occasion, when Iliustrious Potentate L.
Whiting Estes waived his privilege in
favor of Past Imperial Potentate Har-
riSon Dingman of this city, and the
present recorder of Almas Temple, who
made the address of welcome The i'm
perial potentate in his address paid
high tribute to Mr.. Dingman, who, he
said, more than any other one man had
been instrumental in placing him in
his present honorable position. At the
closD of the imperial potentate's adj
dress. which was largely marked with
patriotism and with the special fea-
lures and principles OF shrinedom, the
great audience. probably the largest
ever gathered at a Shrine ceremonial
in the District, arose and greeted him
with ringing cheers; the oriental band
executed one of its fantastic selections
and the voices of the large Glee Club
under the direction of Mr. Stevens.
rang out with patriotic and other songs
Of welcome.
Thirty-four candidates, or as they are
termed in shrinedom. wandering tribes
men of the desert, we're given the
light of the elect and elevated to the
rank OF mobiles of the Mystic Shrine.
Just how all this was done is just what
Shriners do not tell the uninitiated. but
it was accompanied with frequent
flashes of red light, roars of laughter
and enthusiastic applause, pupctuated
with the weird efforts of the Oriental
Band and more vigorous action on the
part of the Arab Patrol.

Manual skin and Ingenuity.

IAN these-illiterates and nterates who
have not done well in the group examina-
hon-are given tests for manual skill
and ingenuity. These tests are such as
putting together dissembled mechanisms
etc. After further individual examina-
top those who receive the poorest rat
ings are likely to be considered for dis
charge OF as suited only for manual work
under supervision. Those who show up
particularly well in either mental or man
ual ability are brought to the notice of
their company commanders as men who
may be given assignments calling for su-
perior ability or skill.
The aims of the entire psychological
examination are to measure native intel
igence and ability, not schooling; to dis
close what man can do with his head
and hands. not what he has learned from
books: and to help the medical officers
quickly to discover and sift out the ex-
tremely incompetent, and thus prevent
the inefficiency and injustice resulting
from putting men in places which they
are not qualified to FILL

Variety of Experiments.

Various tests follow: Sentences whose
words are not in proper order to make
sense, and which the men are asked to
read and indicate whether the words, il
properly arranged, would make a true
or false statement: arithmetical prob
lens from the very easiest to those that
tax ones ingenuity, without calling for
much computation: choosing ono Of sew
eral words which completes sentence so
that Its statement is true: pairs Of words
with instructions to indicate by plus
or minus sign whether the pair have the
same or opposite meanings; choosing the
best answer from several which are given
to question; completing numerical Sc
ries OF which part is given, picking out
analogies. etc.
Those who did not get good ratings
are then re-examined in a group to dis
cover whether they are merely slow or
are OF low-grade intelligence. They are
allowed practically all the time they WISH
Any who do not then make a satisfactory
showing are grouped with the illiterates
who were separated from the rest Of the
group after the preliminary examination.

Method Of Test Described.

In describing the general method of
the test DR.. Bishop said:
The men of each company are diysd-
ed into four groups of seventy-fve to
eighty each. Each group is first given
a simple literary test. which takes
about five minutes and shows only
which OF the men can read and write.
This is only a preliminary examina-
ton. necessary because of the differ
ence In procedure in examining men
who can and who cannot read and
write. The illiterates are withdrawn
at this point to be given examinations
for manual skill.
All those who can read are then
given the group intelligence examine
ton. This takes forty to fifty minutes.
Each recruit is supplied with a pencil
and printed form, but the tasks he
is called on to perform do not call for
any writing Make a mark in the
largest square IN this row of squares
Is one of the simplest of the exercises,
which every recruit can do. Successive
exercises are more and more difficult,
until the last of the first ten may be
something like this: AT the command
go" cross out the letter just before C
and draw circle around the third let
ter before K Go!
The next test may be reading aloud
by the examiner of sets OF figures to
test memory span After the examiner
has read set of from three to nine
figures the men are allowed ten to
fifteen seconds in which to write down
as much as they can remember of the
set

NEW TEST TR|ED0UT
IN NATIONAL ARMY
Psychological Examination to
Determine Fitness of Men
for Special Tasks.
DESCRIPTION OF METHOD

Army officers and physicians are
watching with interest the psychology
ical examinations now in progress OF
soldiers in the National Army canton
ments at Camp Lee. Va: Camp Devens,
Mass; Camp Dix. N. J., and Camp Tay-
lor. Ky. These examinations-some-
thing entirely new in military admins
tration-are designed to establish "in-
telligence ratings" among the enlisted
personnel. The method in use was
worked out by seven officers Of tho psy-
Geological section Of the medical de-
partment of the Army.
Two Distinct Uses.
According to one of the number-Dr
W. V. Bishop Of the Carnegie Institute
secretary of the committee assisting
the War Department in the occupa-
tional classification Of the enlisted mon
in the National Army-there are two
distinct uses for the Intelligence rat
tings." One of these uses, he said, is
military, and consists In furnishing
commanding officers with list of tho
ratings of each man in his command,
by which he may. II he chooses, be
guided In selecting men for promotion
than average intelligence and mental
Quickness- The other, he explained Is
medical and is the thing more specific
ally sought. 1t Is to find the men who
are so markedly below average intel
ligence. he said, as to demand serious
consideration for discharge. or for as
signment to work as laborers or toother
simple manual work under careful su-
pervision.
