BRILLIANCY A POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR
HARD MENTAL EFFORT

It is said that in one of the last expert
ments of the late Professor Munsterberg, he
put each member of a class of 276 students
through careful psychological examination
without any knowledge of their class attain
ments. He graded the men according to their
mental capacities, dividing them into three
groups high, moderate and low. He then
turned to their class records and compared
each mans mental grade with his actual &C
complishments The men Of medium or low
grade, with but a few notable exceptions, had
surpassed those of high mental capacity. The
plodders and workers had surged ahead,
while their more brilliant companions, de-
pending upon their natural ability to carry
them through and spending their time in
gaiety and ease, had remained in the medi-
OGRE class.
