DIR. COUNTS ARTS & SCIENCE SPEAKER
The Arts & Science Club of Delaware
held its bi-monthly meeting last ION
day evening. President l. K. Reynolds
presided Dr. G. S. Counts, the speak
er of the evening, took for his subject,
"Tests of Intelligence. DIR. Counts
began his talk by referring to the most
primitive methods of making tests,
that of magic and fortune telling.
The second stage, that OF medlaeval
clairvoyance, Was based principally on
Astrology. If one had the good fortune
to have been born during the month Of
February one would emDody nearly all
the virtues, and little of value was be-
yond that PERSONS power.
The last point discussed by Prof.
Counts had to do more strictly with guild
ance and selection by various tests con-
sisting of Phrenology, Physiosnomy, and
special attention TO the mental processes S
such as self-analysis by others; the
school curricum and Psychological tests.
The purpose of the latter is to discover
aptitudes, determine attanments, and
measure general intelligence

dents watched the Phoyphemus moths

the great body and the proportonatt
enlargement of the wonderful wings
