Test Of the same form has to
do with the perception Of truth.
Sixty statements are made and the
student is required to judge the
soundness Of each, marking T be-
fore the statement if it is accepted
as truth and a small letter if
false.
Among these statements are
found:
~. All radii Of the same circle
make equal angles with each other.
~. The lifting effect of air is
equal to the volume of air displaced.
SO. Iron Is heavier than gold.
I'D. Bryophyta form the great
majority of seedless plants.
"18. The lizard is a reptile.
1923. The rotation of the earth de-
termines the length of our day and
night.
"24. The rush Of water through
a narrow channel into q large bay
makes extreme variation in tides.
"26. The average weekly temper
ature rises till midsummer and then
begins to fall.
"29. A shipper sometimes bills
goods to himself at the place where
the purchaser does business, not to
the purchaser.
"33. When music and poetry are
combined we have opera.

Test C contains nothing more IN
teresting than that which Is found
in A and B. All the tests Of per-
ception and observation contain The
same propositions in different terms.
In all speed is requisite. N each
there are incongruities 70 trick the
eye and brain.
So important is speed that the in
struction sheet says: 'If you finish
all the tests before time Is called,
give your paper to the examiner, SO
as to receive extra credit for speed.
At certain times you may be told
by the examiner to begin on some
test before you have finished the pre-
vious test. Obey his instructions
promptly when they are given"
But it is interesting to note that
the examiner expects not more than
one in 500 to complete .be tests CO..
rectly within q given time. The rules
which govern the test admonish the
examiner that III a candidate hands
in his paper before the thirty min
utes IS completed, look at Il, es-
pecially at Nos. 8, 4, and IL, to
make sure he has omitted no test.
If he has omitted one, call his atten-
ton to the fact, returning his paper.
If he has not, enter on the front page
the time at which he completed the
test Only about one in 500 candi-
dates will do all the work within

rated with important but IL
lusive dates, are both eliminated by
the Thorndike intelligence examina-
ton. This psychological test has
been adopted by sixteen institutions
of higher education throughout the
country. Among these are Columbia
and New York universities, where
candidates for matriculation have al
ready had their powers of perception
and observation-as we'll as their
memories-put to the test. Speed is
a sine qua non Of this new order.
The examiner banks commands in
military style and the student is
timed by split-second stop watch.
These tests, devised by Professor
Edward L. Thorndike to show the
aptitude and instructive leaning of
the subject or student, we're widely
used in the United States army and
navy and came to be known by the
expressive appellation, "the nut test"
But while the questions and
method of operation were similar
there was a basic difference. A stu
dent psychologically OFF key might
fail to get into Columbia, but there
Is no record Of a soldier similarly
defective getting out Of the army.
A great many Of the tests are
simple. The student is asked to
supply the missing words in such
a sentence as follows:
"a body of $500. entirely sur
rounded by ..... is called an

it is as we'll to look at the twelfth

telegraph posts and wires. There
is some omission in each drawing
The subject is instructed to name
it. On the watch the figure ten is
omitted, etc.
In Test 5 there is large display
Of geometrical figures and the re-
lation Of one to another is asked.
There are in Test 6 a half dozen
algebraic equations, such as, IF X
minus "a plus b equals Ok plus 2b
minus "A, what does X equal?" AS
might be expected, longer period
is devoted to the algebraic tests,
though just how long the instruc-
tons do not indicate.
Test 2 of Paper B presents the
proposition of jumbled words which
under Encouragement constitute a
sentence which is true or false. The
instructions say:
Look at each sentence. Think
what it would be if the words were
put in the right order. If it would
be true draw a line under the word
true. If it would be false draw a
line under the word false"
Ten sentences follow, among
which are:
Il. shoes wear to are feet the on
true false.
"3. flag the English same the as
is the American true
false.
"8. education of a part folly valu-
able is true false.
40 gases the in Mohawks fight
ing used poisonous true
false"
'Rifhn1etic
Arithmetical problems follow in
Test 3, which take in addition, sub
traction, multiplication and division
fractions, feet, days and decimal
points being employed. Test 4 is
also mathematical, but Test S be-
comes a proposition of selection.
''In each of the sentences below
say the instructions, you have 6
choice among four words. Draw {
line under the one of these -four
| words which makes the truest sen
| tence."
Examples follow:
81. The liver is in the. chest
head. neck. abdomen.
"3. A frst-class batter now aver

they mean the opposite or nearly
the opposite, write after the
dots, as shown in the samples. If
you cannot be sure, guess"
The samples follow of good and
bad and little and small. Here are
others:
Il. weary. tired.
SO. absent. present
sc expect. anticipate.
$50. defend. oppose.
I'll. corpse. .cadaver.
"13. perpetual. temporary.
"16. virulent malignant.
"18. interject. interpose.
"19. correlative distinctive.
Some Why's
Test 7 of Paper B again becomes
a matter of selection. A premise is
established with four conclusions
drawn, from among which the SUBJ
ject selects what he considers the
best.
Thus:
Il. Why are prunes a good foodf
Because they
grow in California;
"are wholesome and economi-
cal;
''are served in boarding houses;
make an attractive dish.
"2. If man is hungry and hasn't
any money should he
"plant a garden;
''steal pie.
"work for a meal;
''get a permanent job.
49, Why does gold cost more than
iron? Because
"gold is prettier;
gold is heavier;
diamonds are set in gold;
gold is less plentiful, but very
useful.
"5. When you have q hard task to
perform should you
''leave it until tomorrow, and
you may not have to do it;
"leave it to the other fellow;
get to work on it at once;
think out the best plan, then 60
to work"
Test IL has to do with deduction.
as follows:
"Y is cleaner than NJ;

fashions in collars are such that you

it rests against collar instead of

utilize as much as possible Of the sea-
sonable and reasonably priced foods, we
will plan to utilize Il set of pig tcct IN
the Sunday menu.
Marketing today brings home to the
thrifty woman that unless she Is willing
to put her shoulder closely to the wheel
she will see the money literally How
from her purse aud leave her hlEh nnu
drv on the shores of want.
Butter and eggs are advancing IN
price. and the housewife romplaccntly
paws the price of these expensive foods
rather than try to replace them in the
menu with other foods that are more
within the reach of her purse
False modcsty in purchasing and pre-
pairing foods is detrimcut to lower
prices. DO not hesitate to let your
ncighbor know that You are extremely
proud of your low cost meals aud that
Won are most anxious to continue them.
