THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST.


Several colleges and universities
have adopted a set of psychological
tests in place of the time-hon0red en-
trance examinations to which enter
ing students are usually subjected.
The tests consist of four parts and oc-
cupy nearly three hours. The iirst
and second parts have to do mainly
with the powers of perception and OBJ
servation of the candidate. Such
questions are asked as why are
prunes good food" and "ls Italy
shaped like banana. boot, broom
or SAUSAGE" The third and fourth
narts are concerned With IA display
of applied cultural knowledge in
philosophy. science. history and the
like. Before taking the tests appli-
cants are required to file a statement
giving full information of themselves,
covering their activities in and out
of school and the studies they pursu-
ed. They must be graduates of APP
proved secondary schools and must
have completed all the requirements
for admission to the institution. They
must bring recommendation from
their school principal showing that
they stand well i'm each of the follow
ing qualities; native ability, industry.
faithfulness. originality. integrity,
cleanmindcdness. fair play, public
spirit. interest in fellows and leader
ship. At Columbia university more
than half the entering students chose
this test in preference TO the old
method.

HAS NOT
HELPED SODA TRADE

Chicago, Oct. 1S--Americans are
rushing to the ice cream soda foun-
tains under the bone-dry regime.
This was the gist of an address made
by Asa B. Gardiner. president of the
National Association of Ice Cream
Manufacturers, at the convention of
the association here.
"No sir; It was all wrong all
wrong" said Mr.. Gardiner. IL know
we were told that the alcohol starved
system would turn to sweets, but the
expected rush failed to materalize. If
anything business began to fall off. -"
Another paradox of the ice cream
trade, Mr. Gardiner explained, was
that more of the dainty was consumed
in cold climates than in warm.

MAKE TESTS IN SCHOOLS
TO MEASURE LAZINESS

London, Oct. 1S-American boys
will never believe it, but two women
scientists who are making tests in
schools to measure the laZincss of
boys claim their experiments were
first used in America.
1t may be "A great International
question some day, for the English
boys, if the women know their bust
ness and succeed in their measure
ments. are going to grow up with an
ingr0wn crouch against the land
where "laziness measurement" was
born.
One trial test will be measuring the
amount of carbon dioxide in Cyril
Smiths immediate neighborhoOd. If
he's using all his energies the air will
be full of carbon dioxide. If il isn't
he'll be loafing.

GET THE HOOK.

Four years ago the Demo-
Gratis of Kentucky elected Matt
S. Cohen, Commissioner of Agri-
culture. Mats speciality in
farming is the hookworm. He i'm
mediately hooked the Democratic
Legislature into raising his salary
81 800 a year, but the Attorney Gen
eral ruled il was against the law. Co
hen then hooked an expense account
onto the taxpayers which, from July
/. 1916 to June 80, 1919, amounted
to $4,153.93.
Then Cohen hooked the taxpayers
with bills from 81 to $40 a day for
attending meetings of various boards
in his department which his duties
$ Commissioner of Agriculture would
require him to attend anyway. This
bill ran up to $500 for eighty-three
days. In 1917 he charged the tax
payers $50 for attending the State
Fair, besides 500 for hotels, taxis
etc.
The hOokworm is a persistent cliss.
Cohen likes his job with the people
so much that he is now the Demo
cratic candidate for Secretary of
State.
DO you taxpayers want to be hook
ed any longer?
