WHAT shouid be expected In mental de-
veiopment OF a normal Child at any year
In It's life. 800
On the strength of these tests the ex.
perts claimed that Harry S. New has the
brain OF a child less than twelve years
old. although he has the height, figure
and physical development which fitted
his actual age OF thirty-two.
These tests cover a wide range and are
designed to demonstrate intelligence,
quickness, judgment. resourcefulness alert
ness. physical sensitiveness and other
qualities. They include the counting OF
blocks. answering p~uzzling questions. re-
placing missing parts OF pictures, making
sense OF disarranged sentences and the
use OF machines that record whether d
person has the normal Quickness and re-
sponsiveness to sensations.
Certain OF the tests, known as the Binet-
Simon tests. were invented to discover and
help backward children. When q child
shows lower mental age than his actual
years he needs special education.
Recently the tests have been developed
and more widely used. Columbia, Penn
sylvania end other universities employ
such tests TO decide whether students are
pualihcd 10 enter college. If a student
does not show the mental age Of a SUI
perior adult he is not considered fit for
college. Learned scientists have decided
that a little puZZling question will elicit
'''' a. hNC -
gence than an elaborate examination i'm
Greek or mathematics. The question is
apparently simple. but really tricky, and Is
planned to test a mans general intelli-
gcnce. thickness and Judgment, and not
his learning.
a similar system was employed with
great success during the late war in the
classification OF soldiers and their assign
ment to special duties.
In The New trial the defence summoned
eight scientists 10 demonstrate tho pris.
oner's mental age. DR.. T.. B. Hoag, one
OF these Witnesses, testified that he had
tried on New the tests used on 1000. 900
men in the army.
Tho witness said the ordinary private
ranked 100 in these mental tests. while
