NOT ALL BRIGHT HIS.
SENIORS TO ATTEND
COLLEGE, REPORT IS

A statewide mental survey Of high
school seniors, including those OF
Richmond and Wayne county high
schools, has recently been completed
by Prof w. F. Book. head Of the
psychological department Of Indiana
university at Bloomington. The pur-
pose OF the survey was to locate by
means Of reliable mental tests, the
ablest pupils graduating from Indiana
high schools this year.
1t was believed that all young people
graduating from Indiana high schools
who really possess superior native
mental endowment should be located,
encouraged and helped to continue
their education beyond the high school
stage. A reliable intelligence rating
would greatly aid deans and college
faculties in directing and supervising
the educational work OF their fresh
man students.
To give college authorities help
along this line, high school principals
were asked to have the intelligence
score made by each senior student re-
corded on his permanent school record
and sent with his scholarship standing
to the authorities where he expected
to attend college.
The first problem Of the study was
tc ascertain by reliable measurement,
first, the average of Intelligence found
among high school seniors in Indiana !;
second. the variations in intelligence
which occurred among the numbers OF
this group Of mental endowment
which this selected group Of young
people possessed; and third. the rela'
tive frequency with which these
various grades of intelligence were
found among the individuals Of the
special group.
5000 Seniors Examined.
1t was found that the group expect.
Ing to attend college ranks above the
group which will not attend. This
study shown that about % per cent OF
the students possessing the highest
grades OF intelligence are not consider
ing college, while about 6 per cent OF
those possessing the lowest grades
are definitely planning to attend. AL
most as many students with low In
telligence rating are going to college
as those who have a superior rating
For every level or grade of intel
lJgence the boys rank higher than
the girls. The seniors in 800 high
schools were examined which amount
ed to about 5000 pupils.
The results of these Investigations
will be published in book form during
the summer and will be distributed to
superintendents and principals of the
state for study The Investigations
will be repeated next year.
college authorities and instructors
should not expect the same quality
and amount of work from students
who vary so greatly in native mental
endowment. They should use the
knowledge which has been concerning
these differences in intelligence and
adjust their work accordingly Prof
Book said.

Pentecost Case Will Be
Taken Up by Labor Mer

The action Of the city council in
