To lessen this loss caused by
guess-work, a scientific method OF
mental measurement has been
evolved. Binet worked out the
first scale about ten years ago.
Now mental tests have demon
strated their value in grading
school children, in determining
mental detectives, in vocational
guidance work, in classifying men
OF the army and in the industrial
world in selecting employees. In
these tests an effort has been
made to measure mental capacity
rather. than mental training.
Children are being tested by ex-
perts and are grouped according
to their ability. Only l5 or 20 per
cent are found to have the capac-
ity to profit by college education.
Vocational guidance schools and
clinics are being organized.
Mental tests, termed the Alpha
