OF THE
CITY MARSHAL

City Marshal Charles H. Earring
ton was 4 busy man Thursday af-
ternoon and the nature of his activi-
ties was little out of the usual line
of work. Most of the time he was re-
reiVin;c complaints over the telS-i
phone from anxious mothers of pu-
pills who attend the Myrtle :treet
school, because of some fancied
wrong that her child had undergone
in the intelligence test Wednesday
afternoon. The stories told were be-
you'd the bound OF good judgment 20
believe. Somehow they had started
as such things will and losing notn-
ing in their repetition they became
rather startling in their nature.
When the matter was looked ir1o
1t resolved itself into very Simple
and perfectly proper performance IF
the duties of Dr. Guy Fernald. who
armed with the credentials of leg.t-
innate authority was making intell;-
gence tests in certain schools in tie
city. DR.. Fcrnald is q specialist in
this line Of work and is making sta.
tistics Tor the State Association IF
Charities and Corrections. He was one
OF the speakers at the annual confer
ence Of the association, which was
held here last year and made a fine
impression on those who met nlm
while here.
On Wednesday afternoon he gave
an intelligence test to the pupils nf
the eighth grade of the Pleasant
street school and ell of chem seemed
to enjoy it, At the Myrtle street
school, however he adopted Il differ
ent style of work and gave some in
dlvidual tests, which were held m
the principals office and in her pres
ence. The test consisted of the ex-
anlina tion Of the children's minds nv
asking them to repeat certain Num-
Iers and then asking them to re-
peat them backwards; to read a par-
agraph and thinks about il 10 SEE
onds and then tell what they could
about it. They We're shown a conven-
tional figure and asked to draw il
ana were given groups OF words aud
asked TO make sentences for them
The fact that the tests were held
Separately and privately caused
great deal of curiosity among the
children of the school as such things
Will and their imaginationS did the
rest. Without first ascertaining from
the teacher what had happened the
mothers began TO complain to the
city marshal. Two of the mothers,
however, took the wiser method and
went to the school, where they found
that everything was absolutely with
in the bounds of propriety and that
the children had merely been asked
few qquestions.
DR.. Fernald went from Waterville
, to Fairfield, where he conducted some
tests and left for Augusta Wednes-
day evening. having completed his
work in this vicinity.
