and economic aspects of the question
of child welfare.
In those chapters devoted to the
industrial welfare Of minors Owen
X. Lovejoy, secretary OF the Ma
tional Child Labor Committee, dis
cusses the precedence that the needs
of the child should take over the de-
sires Of any industry as the gauge
of child labor legislation. Dean Ed
sail, Of the Harvard medical school,
bcspeaks the need for medical eX-
animation for determining the ply
sical fitness Of children to work.
The amount of income necessary
to rear the American child is among
the topics handled. Miss Florence
Nesbitt. of the American Red Cross,
talked on the price of feeding and
otherwise caring for the average
family of three children. Dean
Breckinridge, of the University OF
Chicago, has described the conse-
ouences Of the below normal income
on the infant mortality rate. She
talks also of the minimum family
income below which no family should
be allowed to sink.

believed will be the most comprc-

Children's Bureau last spring comes

The child welfare conferences,
which furnished the material for the

Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the Chill

authorities rather than by an indis-
criminate portion Of the general pub

were present to add European opil-

Without q doubt these proletaria1
women have interests in common
with women Of other spheres and the
attempt of the women's movement to
establish a relationship between
women Of all classes was therefore
justified. While it Is true that in
the class movement the proletarian
women found a field Of expression
for their idealism, the theory Of
class struggle has nevertheless had
"a very unhealthy effect upon the

Influenced by Bureau

The service acted in many cases
to protect the teacher Of excellent
qualifications against too low sala

ton would ask that a teacher in
physics with a masters degree be
sent them for $1,000 year. The
bureau would reply that a teacher
with such qualifications could not be
obtained for that money. Upon re-

Federal bureau the local boards

way dream that they would
ever sit side by side and mark down
:unny things on a printed blank to
determine their intelligence. They
both went into the Bureau Of War
Risk Insurance, via the civil service
examination, to read mail and sort
,ut inquiries from thousands OF
American families as to why the
check had not yet arrived.
After the American army began
70 demobilize the Bureau of War
Risk acquired the services of Major
0. c. Lloyd as chief of its personnel
division. He had been personnel
officer in the military forces, and as
such had become acquainted with the
work of Captain j. J. Hudson in
conducting psychological tests Of the
men in the fighting forces. One Of
the majors first official acts upon
taking his new civilian Office was to
ask Captain Hudson, likewise civ
iIian now, to make those same tests
on the 1920 employees of the Bu-
reau Of War Risk.
The bulk Of this personnel is FEM
ininc, all ages of girls and women.
For this reason this laboratory eX-
pertinent is entirely different from
that made in the army, and is es-
pecially interesting because it may
be the beginning Of general Fed
eral adoption of psychological tests
to ascertain the intelligence Of cleri-
cal workeA.
AS tie experiment is the first of
the kind to be made on the govern
ment employees, it is not known yet
whether such tests will be permanent
in the Bureau of War Risk. But
throughout August a series of
groups will seat themselves daily
in a great empty room, to be tested
as were the enlisted men.
These groups range in number
from 1870 to $50 employees from
their respective sections without re-
gard to age, previous conditions of
employment, or sex.
Altogether Captain Hudson finds
The War Risk girls more human
laboratory than the army men. The
military personnel locked upon the
tests as a part of prescribed mill
tary routine. The Bureau Of War
Risk officials hope to popularize and
explain the motive Of the tests to
such an extent that the girls will
come into the room with pleasant
anticipation instead Of trembling fin
gers.
In accord with other psycholo-

gists, he believes that such tests ia
any given group or industry should
be made after months Of study

army tests were made for men and
not for such a selected group as are
the girls and women recruited
through the civil service examina-
tions. The ratings will be used 70
add to the employees efficiency
marks and will be another factor ID
determining transfers, promotiona
increases in salary, as well as d.
motions and possible discharges.
Advocates Of the tests believe
they have found the real solution
of improving the efficiency Of ths
War Risk operations. They feel
that the attendance, non-attend'

vently.
A detail of sixteen girls has been
charged with the duty of correcting
the papers. This scoring is done BY
the means of stencils, which elm
mates any element Of personal
judgment in the marking. Major
Lloyd is pioneering with the War
Risk personnel, but it may be pos
sible that all women workers vii

Laws Are

in the matter of boarding. women
should watch themselves and one
another. a woman who buys more
than she needs at the time, because
she hears that prices are to advance,
helps to advance prices. She is a
protiteer. She is helping boost
prices for some other woman by
taking out Of the market products
which are needed.
"And so it goes, the law Of supply

If women will interest themselves in
The proposed laws which threaten
cur supplies they can prevent many
f the ills from which we all suffer.
"Legislation will not cure all Of
our troubles. People are not made
moral by legislative enactments, nor
can greed be cured in that way. A
man does not change his nature
when he becomes an appointee; he
is just the same as he was before,
experienced or inexperienced, good
or bad. Putting the power into one
mans hands will not equalize the
law Of supply and demand"
All of which goes TO prove that
the modern homemakers are tax
ing an international. economic view
Of the food shortage. They are
against profitecring, but they realize
that back Of the whole situation is
AN economic problem which must
be worked out.
Also the committee has very
poor opinion Of anything that
verges on government ownership or
control. Mrs. Murphy explained the
effect Of government dictation on
food saving.
"The saving effected by conser-
vation has been to considerable
degree Offset by the increased pur-
chascs of those who, because Of the
publicity given to sugar restriction,
bought more than they otherwise
would"
