INTELLIGENCE TESTS
TRIED AS EXPERIMENT
IN NEW YORK SCHOOLS
(By The Assccinted Press.l

New York, Sept. 21.-Intelli-
gence tests adapted from the
army. were tried as an experiment
when New York's army of 800, 900
school children registered for the
opening of school this fall. The
department Of education decided
1t would be unwise, at present, to
accept the results obtained as a
substitute for the teachers judg-
ment.
The principal aim of the tests
was to devise a better classifica-
ton of pupils. The theory was ad-
vanced that by keeping the bright
er pupils together they would be
able to progress more rapidly,
while the average pupil also would
be able to make normal progress.
The dull students, under the
theory, would be given instructions
suited to their abilities.
Verbal tests were devised to test
arithmetical reasoning, sentence
completion, logical selection of
words In sentences, general infor-
nation, vocabulary. analogies and
comparisons.
While a complete report has not
yet been made OF the results, the
tests in some schools showed a
considerable number of high
school students whose mental age
was below that of the normal pu-
pill. Many of the low-score stud
ents showed that they advanced
through the grades too rapidly.

Washington. Sept, 21.--Senator
Harrison, Of Mississippi, democrat
today attacked President Harding
for taking vacation trip last
week and charged the republican
administration with failure to car
ry out its campaign pledge to

The senator declared that while
President Harding and several cab
met members were enjoying the
vacation trip, millions of Ameri-
cans were hanging their heads in
shame" because men who "helped
win the war" were being offered
on the auction block in Boston.
''The American people want
moro work and less play" he said,
looking across to the republican
side. "More results and fewer
recommendations; more meal tick
cts and fewer bread lines; more
prosperity and fewer poor houses"

One of the most pleasing events
of the fair was the All-American

of Belgium and the Scandinavian
countries participated. The vast
auditorium was packed to the roof

Of every number. The address Of
Attorney b. G. Skulison, native
of Iceland. was un eloquent plea
for full Americanism by the people
OF foreign birth. The violin per-
formance of Miss Elizabeth Levy
evoked the most applause and she
was loaded with several immense
bouquets OF roses and other choice
flowers.
Mrs. c. c. Clark led In the sing
ing OF "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," and several patriotic selec-
tions interspersed with other
numbers.
The Swedish folk dancing. led
by John Olson was the recipient Of
great praise and reused everybody
to a high pitch OF pleasure. Th'
Danish tableaux were very beauti
full and expressive.
Mrs. Isaac Lee Patterson, wht
formulated and directed the pro
gram, was warmly congratulated
on its success.
