TRAINING MEANS DEVELOPMENT
Men Must Work to Get Out Highest
Faculties.

Necessity for the mental poise that
is a requisite of the successful aviator
has developed a psychiatry board in
each aviation training camp in Texas.
1t is the function of those boards to
strengthen the balance Of the cadets
and weed out those who show obvious
unfitness for the trying work in the
air. The aviation service requires
great mental alertness and many pros
pective aviators have been transfer
red to other branches of service.
This war, ply jicans say. has de-
veloped greater reaction on the mind
than has any previous conflict. Such
results are due to shell shock, under
ground living, the constant viewing
or death and the high development Of
the instruments of warfare. They are
manifest some times by an inclination
to desert after months Of training
which is a symptom OF mental defici-
ency, officers say. Ordinarily a soldier,
disciplined and trained for months.
responds to orders automatically. 1t Is
the mission Of the psychiatrist board
to weed out men who are likely to
fail in critical moments.
The testing of the students minds
is going on constantly, often without
their knowledge. Some tests appear
foolish and provide great amusement
to the students. A cadet Is sometimes
required to shake his head violently
from side to side six or eight times
and then with his eyes closed COM
manded to touch his nose with his
fore finger. Inability to touch the nose
indicates q lack Of the sense OF bal
ance in some degree. This does not
imply a mental deficiency and the
desired sense Of balance often can be
developed in those at first lacking 1t.
Problems to test mental alertness
are given for instant solution. A
series Of circles is made on white
sheet of paper BY the men and they
then are ordered to draw continuous
line over the first two, under the Sec
ond three. over and then under and 30
on. A mans poise is rated by his
ability to follow the confusing direc-
tons, which are given at high speed.
Sometimes a cadet is sent on an er-
rand with instructions to do numerous
things. He is rated on his ability to
remember them all and on the Sc
quence In which he performs them In
regard to their relative importance.
Often a group Of men is marched by
a crowded table and ordered to record
later what they saw on the table In
their hurried glance in passing It
