INTELLIGENCE TESTS
MAKES SCHOOLS EFFICIENT

Intelligence tests, which test stu
dents on their ability to apply what
knowledge they have to practical
things in life rather than testing
them on the actual things they know
are being conducted by ]. C. DeVoss
of the Kansas State Normal School
at Emporia in the grade and high
schools of Kansas.
"These intelligence tests when
used as a basis for classification, will
enable bright pupils to progress as
fast as they are capable of progress
ing instead of forcing them to ad-
vance by the mechanical and made
quate grade system, said Mr.. De
Voss. "At the same time the tests
will prevent slow pupils from going
ahead faster than they should. These
tests were used with great success
in the army, enabling the officers
in charge to select men for COM
missions and speeding up the organ
ization Of the great U. s. fighting
forces and will be just as valuable
in school work"
According to Mr.. De Voss "In-
telligence testing is still in its in
infancy but there is time not far
hence when every large concern will
have its intelligence experts wholly
these tests will classify prospective
employees and determine the work
for which they are best fitted.
"At the present time thousands Of
men and women of high intelligence
are working in positions which re-
auire very little intelligence"
Mr.. De Voss explained. "Their eff
forts are wasted. On the other hand
there are many other positions
where man after man is being tried
only to fail because he lacks intelli-
gence. That is also waste. If these
people all took the intelligence test
before they went to work it would i'm
mediately be decided what they were
capable of, and all this waste elimin-
ated.
"The principle will be applied to
the school children. A pupil who
appears backward in his school work
but makes high grades in the intel
ligence tests, will be given special
help that he can take his proper
place near the top of his class. These
tests will also show the uselessness
of students preparing for careers
that they are not mentally fitted,
and thus give them chance to pre-
pare for the things they are best fit
ted to do"
Mr.. De Voss predicts that the adj
adoption of the intelligence test sys-
tenn in the schools will prove one Of
the big steps in efficient education.
The results obtained by Mr. DeVoss
in his tests will be used by the Ma
tiona1 Research Council IN preparing
standard intelligence tests.

one generation always pitted against
the one preceding 1t; for it's clear
sighted and humorous perception of
the absurdities that are in the life of
every one of us.
We took great Joy in Ben Garth,
stolid, businesslike, stodgy Ben Garth,
who at one point in the story "pre.
sented that most pathetic and incon-
gruous of human spectacles--a fat
man, in derby, at picnic"
Ben was one of those men who
have nothing to distinguish them
from a million others Of their kind,
yet listen to him circling round pro-
posal to Lottie Payson:
II guess I'm funny kind of fella,
anyway. Different from most. !.
I've been around good deal. I've
had my ups and downs. I know this
little old world from the cellar to the
attic, and ! don't envy anybody any
thing. / don't know. guess

!, 2 AT Women Aroused Over Bill to. Punish Smokers

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Chicago women would like to see any old man take their smokes away from them.
 They are up in arms over the proposed national lcgisla- tion prohibiting smoking by female persons" Not that they care ' so much about their violet.scented cigarettes, not at all. It's the principle of the thing.
 Men make laws that in- fringe upon our liberty as sex? Indeed not! It is ridi- culous for. them to think of .it! Thus protests Mrs. Chicago.
 One woman says: Tt is ap- surd for men to try to regulate the habits of women. They ought to be ashamed of them selves for not being hard at work on something more se- rious and more important. Smoking is a matter of personal taste and 1t is not important enough to make legislation about"
 Tt would be shameful thing for men to make a law of this kind" says another en- cagO woman. II am glad Miss Alice Robertson, the woman member of Congress, indicated she. was not friendly to the measure. Women will not stand for that sort of high-handed legislation in matter that concerns them"
 The bill to prohibit smoking on the part of women was sub mitted by Representative John son of Mississippi. It would provide a fine for women who smoke and for proprietors who failed to enforce the ban.
