NEW YORK, Feb. ii.-With ten sim
pie questions an examiner OF the Unit

skilled workman at any trade Is eXpe-
rlenced or bluflng.
Within five minutes OF his applica-
tlon a workman may be regarded for
a iob-Or sent on his way as an Inn
poster.
The system was evolved for the Unit
ed states army for the rapid placement
Of skilled men. Thousands or qUes-
tions were boiled down to the ten kes
queries which stand for each trade.
Kept as a military secret until the war
was over, all the data OF the army
scientists aud psychologists has now
been turned over TO the employment
service.
The plan has been explained TO me
I'm an exclusive interview today by
u. A. Stevens, head Of the newly created
Trade Interview Section.
The system has been tried out In
New York. Il Is to be extended next to
Cleveland. then TO every employment
ONCE in the United States.
"The object Of the trade test IS 20
furnish to examiners, who know Moth
ing Of a particular trade set Of ques-
tlons and answers. so that they will
be able quickly and accurately TO classl-
fy the men who apply for skilled p0-
sitlons," said Mr. Stevens.

pert. You ask him: What make Of
Is generally used on a Ford?'
The right answer Is one word-a name
and only one name. This Is a fair ques-
ton TO ask the applicant. Il is neither
"a catch nor a guess question. No me-
chanlc who IS a Ford repair man could

object to It. because all such men know
the answer.
1--WE have already devised sets Of
questions for So skilled occupations
The questions will be changed period
ically.
ut has been no easy Job. For in
stance, in the entire trade OF general
automobile mechanic there are not over
10 ideas subject to use as a basis for
satisfactory trade question. Unless
questions are so selected that the nov
ice or tradesman for non-similar trades
can answer practically none Of them,
and the best experts in the trade can
answer all OF them. they have no value
as a trade test Fhere are always GER
tain points I'm any trade which are
typical Of the unique knowledge OF that
trade. Il is upon these small points that
a question is based.
How do The trades unions regard the
new plan? They are for II strong. The
business agent Of one OF the big unions
which had a standing order that none
OF its men should apply TO a Federal
employment service. because they did
not believe we could properly place
skilled mechanics, came TO see me.
After he saw the trade tests for his
craft, the rule was abolished so far as
New York was concerned. Next day
twelve craftsmen OF his union came to
us, and every one was placed the same
day to the satisfaction Of the men and
their employers.
"The employers are enthusiastic be-
cause we do not send them men who
viii waste a lot OF material before they
find out the men are unskilled.
"By these same tests, which the men
now in my section devised for the army,
220000 skilled men who came from the
draft boards were properly placed
