Find Latent Talent

tests will be given for several success
siye Years to determine whether 1t Is
possible to discover latent newspaper
talent through psychology tests.
The system of giving psychological
tests. instead of regular entrance eN-
ominations to students who wish TO
enter a university, has been tried IN
several universities. The idea Is that
n student who has good nina, Dut
has insufficient or inferior high school
training, may be advised as to the
lines of study for which he is best
fitted.
In this regard, the University OF
Wisconsin is giving more specihc tests
than most other universities. BY CIV
ing dozen or more tests for the same
results. the psychologists at the uni
versity are determining which tests
are hest. In small series of tests
already conducted, however, the re-
sults do not correspond well with tne
scholastic records Of the students
tested.
