SHOWS HOW SOLDIERS
WERE MADE TO FIT"
Army Pers onne ell Organization
Tests Exemplifed at Chamber
of Commerce

To use every soldier skilled in technical
ability where skill Is demanded, was the
problem met by the Army Personnel Organi-
zation, whose exhibit of method is on public
view in the Chamber of Commerce assembly
room.
The classification of rockies was made on
basis of occupatlonal trade skill, previous
experience, former employer, nativity, citl-
zenship, schooling. linguistic ability. mental
ability as observed from psychological tests
physical ability. leadership ability, previous
military experience, and kind of service pre-
ferred Officers received their rating on the
basis of physical qualities general intelli-
gence and ability to meet new situations
force in leadership. tependablity, loyalty, in
dustry, and professional knowledge, skill and
experience.
Each camp then reported to Washington
the men received and classified each week.
and Washington knew through its personnel
stan where these men of varying occupa-
uonal skill were needed To fill reuuistions
men were ordered according to their ocCu-
patlohal qualifications, from the camps where
they were known to be available
More than 100 trade tests have been de-
Neloped to determine these qualifications
'S hI'"hS VI oral examinations. and by
lual performance tests, the personnel STAFF
was able to judge the extent of the soldiers
ability.
the steps taken in the making OF these
uaue tests to be used for measuring ability
are as follows: Full information about the
trade is gathered from labor unions, en-
poyers, trade schools and trade literature
men set of tentative questions a tenta
i've JOB embodying the essential features of
the trade Is prepared. and these are tried
out ON a few established tradesmen of differ
ing degrees of trade ability. and the test
is revised in the light of the results of these
trials.
AS revised. it is then tried out on twenty
men who are known to be experts in the
trade on twenty who are journeymen, on
twenty who are apprentices. and on twenty
lntelllgent adults not trained to the trade To
avoid localisms tests are tried out on men
IN Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Newark and New
York.
Ana the answers to the questions or job
performed by the eighty men are anayzed
10 determine which combination of questions
or jobs Will most accurately separate experts
from journeymen, journeymen from appren-
tces, apprentices from novices. The finished
grade test is then prepared and sent TO trade
test stations in the various camps.

FOR PENN MUSEUM
Mrs. Richard VAIN Meirs Gives
Valuable Relics to Univer-
sity Institution

Mrs. Richard VAIN Meirs, of Germantown.
who has spent many years in making Indian
collections has presented all of her treasures
to the University Museum. where they are
now on exhibition. There are serera! hun
dred specimen;s, and. while restricted in
scope, they are all representative Of the best
Indian culture. Some of these specimens
are unique. The walls of the second floor of
the museum are hung with score of Navajo
blankets which give a warm Coloring to the
atmosphere and show some excellent handl-
craft in this kind of work
The most notable collections are those or
Indian basketry, and these are the more
welcomed by the museum because the art is
dying out with the older existing generation.
Some of these baskets are amazing specimens
of art as we'll of artisanship, and particu-
larly two of the finest specimens by Dat-So-
lal-lee, an old Washoe Indian, who lives on
Lake Tahoe and although eighty years old
and blind. continues to make about two bas-
kets a year. which was the usual number in
her best days. She is recognized as the best
artist of her tribe. Specimens of her work
have sold high as $4,000 each and are in
great demand by collectors.
Other baskets are by various California
tribes we'll as some by Apaches. Pimas,
HOps and other southwestern tribes Most
of these are ceremonial baskets, but some
are utlitarian. There also specimens
from the Alaskan tribes and Il few from
Eskimos Attu Island. Navajo wedding
baskets are a particular feature
In addition there are specimens Of textiles,
beadwork and some ancient silver jewe!ry
mostly from the southwest, but some from
the Penobscot region. The entire collection
is one of great value and the specimens are
beautiful we'll representative Of a dy-

SONATA RECITAL AT
THE LITTLE THEATRE
ID. H. Ezerman and Sascha Jacobi-
noff Perform Works of Bee
thoven, Lekeu and Crieg

A form of musical entertainment which is
now rarely given, but which deserves to be
more frequently heard was given last eve
ming at the Little Theatre by D. II. Ezerman,
pianist, and Sascha Jacobnoff, vioinist. This
was Sonata Evening. and three represen-
tatve sonatas of various periods and styles
of musical thought were well performed.
The first was the G minor sonata of
Beethoven. with its vigorous first movement,
its exquisite adagio and its scintillating
scherzo. The work was interpreted with ar
tistic care and much feeling, especially in
the slow movement Then came the Lekeu
sonata in @, the work of young Belgian.
a pupil of Cesar FranCk who died at the
age of twenty-four.
This sonata has been faVOrite with vio-
lnists for the last ten years or so, but it
cannot be said to be so convincing muscaly
the Beethoven, which preceded 1t. or the
Grieg G minor sonata which followed it. 1t
is very long and barely escapes the charge
OF diffuseness. dramatically it is a desCen-
dant of Cesar Franck as might legitimately
be expected in young composer who was
exclusively under FranCks influence but
what the themes lack in originality they make
up in their bold melodiC curve and in in
tensity The sonata is one of the most inter-
esting since those of Brahms and FranCk
although it must be admitted that in the de-
velopment. which is generally by the themes
almost intact, instead of by phrases from
them, the CreViCes are not always hidden
All three of the sonatas were finely
played. At all times there was a perfect un-
derstanding between the performers and the
tonal balance, and the differentiation be-
tween the solo part and the accompaniment
was exact. showing the results of many re-
hearsals together. Both played with great
beauty of tone and that artistic reserve so
necessary in music of this kind The au-
dience was large and received the works with
deserved approval
