quota of professional players, and
so far, they are in the lead in the

Intelligence Test
Given to Pupils
BY Supt. SHIRLEY

The Haggerty Reading tests were
given today to elementary pupils by
Superintendent A. r. Shiblev. These
tests are in line with the new ideals
of education of which one hears
much these days They are designed
for pupils from the fifth grade up
to, and including the senior wear in
the high school.
In the old days, the boy or girl
who could stand rp and read aloud
fluentlv, and with something of ora
forical effect, was given the high
mark. Now, the test is to find out
how well the child grasps the mean
ing of the printed page and Is able
TO apply it to his own experiences.
The theory sounds logical and the
system is received with favor by
educators all over the country. 1t
IS in line with the intelligence
tests" as applied, and ought TO
bring about the solution of many of
the problems with which teachers are
confronted in their daily tasks.
Possible Score of IA Points
The papers are graded, the score
being based on vocabulary, sen
tenee work and paragraph analysis.
There is a possible score of IA
points, the senior of average intelli-
gence being expected to make at
least 702 points and the fifth or
sixth grade pupil about 80 points
1t simplifies dictionary work when
followed, and demands that the pupil
read with attention and due regard
for the subject matter in hand. The
grades taking the test today were
grouped in A and B divisions, from
six to eight inclusive The children !
were timed on their work, and /!
seemed to be handling it nicely, |
though results viii not be ascertained I
till later.
DIR. Haggerty, who with Mrs. Hag /
gerty is author of the silent reading
test system, is TO be one of the in
struetors at the Imperial County
Teachers Institute next week He |
is connected with the State Univer-
sitv of Minnesota and occupies a
high position in educational circles
Local Instructors Interested
superintendent Coe and SHIRLEY
are deeply interested in the intelli-
gence tests and Mr.. Shibley has had |
some interesting results from the
tests given here early in the term.
Through the tests, many pupils were
found to be of sufficient mental ca
paeity to be advanced in grade, !
which means a big saving TO the dis
triet and TO the pupils themselves.
1T has enabled the school TO do
with one less teacher, which in itself |
is an economy worth taking account
of, Mr.. Shibley says.
Besides, the bright pupils are not
hindered and held back with too
little to do until they form the habit |
of loafing, he says.

When You Dine Out.

You want to look your best at all
times, of course, but when you dine
out. you want to look particularly
we'll. One woman said that there was
never a time like dinner time for in
specting other women-it's so easy
to sit and look hard and criticise,
while all the other women are placed
there at tables for leisurely inspec-
ton. I never thought about it that
way before, but 1 think she may be
right.
In any case, when you dine out you
want to be extra careful about your
hair and your hands. If a suit has
old-fashioned lines it won't show so
much, because You are seated. II your
shoes aren't as smartly new as you
could wish them to be. you have the
comforting knowledge that your feet
But from your head to your waist,
You are ''in the limelight."
Nowadays, of course, it isn't correct
to take off the coat Of the suit except
at home-heaven knows how these
conventions are made, but there they
are and we must conform to them.
In this case, it's a saving in blouses
sleeveless vestee with a net or muslin
back under the suit coat. All the ex-
pense of the blouse may then be
lavished on the real lace of the vestee,
which, incidentally, any woman can
make.
The hair showing Under the hat,
must be perfectly dressed, a hair net
will take care of loose wispy ends.
The nails must be perfectly mani
cured. for the hands show most
prominently at dinner. Gloves are a
particularly important item, too-but
then gloves always are a particularly
important item in a woman's ward
robe. They should be fresh and beau
tifully clean.

The School Gymnasium.

II would like your advice about my
sixteen-year- old daughter. who Is an
object of anxiety to me because OF
family history of tuberculosis. She
IS slxty,one inches tall. weighs lo2
pounds. has good complexion. but Is
troubled with chronic post-nasal sore
throat. Her tonsils and adenoids were
removed several years ago. She is
very constipated. and has sluggish
function. She has several severe colds
each winter, when the chronic sore
ness becomes acute and spreads
through her chest. apparently. She
walks a mile to school, but carries
"a heavy load of books. She stands
next the head of her class in the
academy and is too busy to spend
walks to school. Music and reading
are her recreations. Short of stopping
school can you suggest anything for
her? Mrs. c. o. o.
The system is wrong. 1t deals with
girls and boys as though they were
mere brains without any bodies at
tached. . 1t neglects physical educa-
tion. and strives to turn out top
heavy. self-sufHcient young men and
women who are lily equipped to
tackle the world.
The physical body demands a show.
You can't leave it out Of consideration
and make a success of education. II
the schools are unprepared to attend
to the physical training of girls and
boys, and too often they ARE unpre-
pared, it becomes the duty Of parents
to look after that vital part Of educa-
ton personally.
1t is rather a misfortune for a high
school student to be a contender for
scholastic honors, because it does just
what the system is doing to the girl
described in the letter-it blinds the
poor little girl to her need of physical
training and it turns her mothers
head SO that the thing is rather en-
couraged.
If she were my daughter she would
drop about two subjects. or rather
leave school an hour day for regu-
lar gymnasium or other carefully su-
pervised physical training. 1 should
feel as much responsibility as a par
ent for the girls future health and
happiness as for her present eminence
in scholarship. Better an average
girl, say, 70 per cent scholar, with
well trained body and the natural
beauty and womanliness that go with
it, than a poor sickly little highbrow
riding for all she worth to that
physical collapse of adolescence which
is graced by the pleasant name of
neurasthenia, or as some would call
it, nervous prostration.
