EishtySx 1913 Were Due Individual

Hawkes., says: I'VE expect these
tests to show US whether it will be
worth our while to try to educate the
stndent and whether 1t will be worth
his while to have US try" A more
intelligent selection of students, It is
expected, will be the big result of the
new experiment
Whether we agree with the propo-
sition of the Psychological test as
means Of eliminating incompetency
and producing the highest efficiency,
we must agree that the new order
calls for the development of personal
efficiency as never before The worlds
greatest problem at the present mo-
ment resolves itself into a question of
personal fitness.
Education as a Cure
You can never change an incompe-
tent" says leading American banker.
THE trouble with the incompetent is
that he Is born that way; it's his des-
tiny. You can't make a swan out OK
a goose"
To which another replies:
"Such a pessimistic view Is based
| upon a misconception- However true
1t may be that ones character Is IN
changeable, there can be no doubt
| that education can effect a complete
change Of mentality; and after all, 1t
is upon the latter that competency Is
chiefly based"
L. E. Brooks, of Dun's Mercantile
Agency, sums up in this fashion: Ed
ucation means the elimination of in
| competency in every field of COM
| merce and industry; hence the fitness
| Of the individual to successfully en-
bark in commerce or pursuit Of a
| -rade Is governed not so much by a
| previous lack Of knowledge OF the me-
| dunn through which he seeks success,
Is by the mental equipment and ap-
| oroach."
Ernest T. Trigg. president Of the
Philadelphia Chamber Of Commerce
| md a close student of success and
| allure in economics, adds:
| Competency can be gained and
maintained only by intelligent applica-
ion and education, not so much by
J ducation obtained from books as from
education in the channels and risks of
he chosen field Of endeavor."
"Get Wise to Yourself" =. :.
The handwriting on the wall seems
D be plainly: Get Wise to Yourself
You Want to Make Good" Like
Lieutenant Jackson's sergeant, some
men feel they are qualified only to be
sergeants. and happy with their lot.
But they at least have to be good ser
geant's to hold their jobs. AS for
the majors and colonies they have to
win their spurs by proving their worth
and thereafter fight everlastlingly to
keep their high place.
1t is hardly tair to say that America
is a nation of incompetents because
of the Bradstreet figures for 1918,
disconcerting as they may prove, 1t
is plausible to say that many of these
failures resulted because Of the IN
certain conditions and varying changes
of the war era 1t is quite to the
point, however, to say that incompe-
tency must go in the new postwar
era, where every man is to be judged
as the soldier in the trenches and the
sailor on the seas was weighed, and
continued In his position only because
he is able to deliver the goods"

lains also proved highly intelligent, re-
ceiving high percentages in the Ian
guage tests especially. Major Yerkes
pointed out the possibility by use of
the government tests in industry, and
especially in mining, of quickly dis
covering men whose superior intelli-
gence suggests their fitness for ad-
vancement and OF men whose low
grade mentality makes them either a
burden or a menace to industry.

"The sergeant, who had been in tn

inquiry, the man was put to work
Within five minutes it was evident that
he was not fitted for the job, but on
being reproached for his false repre-
sensations. he coolly replied that he
had come for the job because the scale
of wages had attracted him. And he
held on to the job until he had learned
the business, because there was a
scarcity of millwrights and assistants,
and the foreman had to have men.
1t is said tens of millions of dollars
were lost to the government last year
due to the waste of labor and ma.
terial, and due primarily to the in
competency of unframed employees.
But now that the war is over, the
wedding out process is at hand. The
unskilled mechanic or laborer who
earned the highest wages he had ever
drawn in his pay envelope, must now
prove his competence. Business, TAX
