TELLS OF RESULT OF TESTS
At JAMESBURG HOME

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Oct. 90
Wider use of mental tests in the
public schools as a means of elm
mating b~ackwardness and truancy
and thereby bringing about a de-
crease in the growing number of
juvenile delinquents was h topic
of discussion last night at the 18th
annual conference on the Education
of Truant, Backward, Dependent and
Delinquent Children now being held
in this city. Speaking on the results
of Investigations recently carried
out at the State Home for Boys at
Jamesburg, New Jersey, DR.. Edgar
A. Doll, psychologist of the Depart
ment of Institutions and Agencies of
New Jersey, showed how it is now
possible by means OF a new system
to discover just which children need
manual education in preference to
advanced book studies.
As a result of intensive study of
delinquent boys in New Jersey it
has been found. the speaker stated,
that persistent truancy, which us
ually proceeds juvenile delinquency
among boys. is frequently caused by
the schools failure to understand
the special mental abilities and
weaknesses Of children and 10 es-
tablish suitable methods of education
adapted TO their mental peculiarities,
Mental tests. il was said, have been
found to show that while the ma
jority of truant and delinquent chill
dren are deficient in powers of alb
stract intelligence and so cannot
learn the usual academic school sub
jects, they frequently are quite up TO
the average to succeed in vocational
work"
