TRY ARMY TESTS ON PUPILS
But Teachers Judgment Comes First
In New York Schools
IAssociated Press1

New York, Sept. 21.-Intelligence
tests, adapted from the army, were
tried as an experiment when New
York's army of 100000 school chill
dren registered for the opening of
school this fall. The department OF
education decided 1t would be, un-
wise, at present, to accept the re-
suits obtained as substitute for the
teachers judgment.
The principal aim Of the tests
was to devise a better classification
of pupils. The theory was advanced
that by keeping the brighter pupils
together they would be able to pro-
gress more rapidly, while the aver
age pupil>also would be able to make
normal progress. The dull students,
under the theory. would be given In
structions suited to their abilities.
The verbal tests were devised to
test arithmetical reasoning. SEN
tence completion, logical selection OF
words in sentences, general infor-
nation, vocabulary, anal0gies and
comparisonS.

IAssociated Pressl

Indianapolis, Sept. 2O-Delegates
from the coal fields Of the United
States and Canada met at nation
al convention Of the United Mine
Workers Of America today. Presi-
dent John L. Lewis Of the Union
presented his report this afternoon.
Consideration of the wage question,
unemployment, employment Of for
eigners in mines and naturalization
Of the country's coal mines are to
be discussed by the convention and
policies regulating these matters are
expected to be formulated during the
week.
Wages Must Stand
In his report Lewis said no reduc-
tion Of wages of coal miners must
be permitted and all resources OF the
union must be made available to
support opposition to wage cuts. He
recommended that the union post
pone till next February formulation
of definite wage demands, and then
all wage agreements expiring stimuli
taneously March 81 next, miners
would be in a position to enforce
their demands.
Lewis asked the convention to en-
dorse the action Of the international
board of the union, which he said
Alexander Howat of Kansas, defied
in not complying with the boards
order directing striking miners to
return to work. Lewis also recon-
mended that the convention endorse
naturalization Of coal mines and
recommended that full legal test
be made of the constitutionality OF
the Kansas industrial court law.
Attacks Industrial Court
The industrial court act, Mr..
Lewis asserted, was initiated by an
astute and ambitions politicians"
and he asserted that it's provisions
violate the federal constitutions In
that 1t restricts the right Of individ-
ual and collective contract. This
law is without question:" Lewis said
"a most vicious attack upon the
right of the organized workers and
| Is clearly a trespass upon the con-
stitutional prerOgatives of citizens"

George Will Not Deal
on DeValera's New
Terms
ASSOCIATED Press1

London, Sept. 17.-Lloyd George
replying to telegram yesterday
from DeValera, says that to receive
the Sim Fein delegates to the pro-
posed conference with British pleni-
potentiaries as though the Irish dele
gates were representative of an inde-
pendent ana sovereign state would
constitute formal and official recog-
milton of Ireland's severance from
the kings domain. SO long as De-
Valera insists that Irish delegates
should confer as representatives OF
an independent sovereign states, says
Lloyd George in his reply, confer
ence is impossible.
In his note to DeValera, Lioyo
George said that to receive the Irish
delegates as representing SOW
ereign state "wOuld entitle you If
you saw fit, to make q treaty OF
amity with the king, but would
equally entitle you to make no treaty
at all, to break off conference with
us at any point and by the right
which we ourselves had already rec
ognized to negotiate a union OF Ire
Aand with foreign power. We are
prepared to discuss with you how
the association of ireland with the
community Of nations known as the
British empire can best be recon-
ciled with Irish national arbitrations
but we cannot consent to any aban-
donmcnt, however informal, OF the
principle of allegiance to the king"
