Here is something about the
length of life in different parts
Of the world.
Lie is the longest in Amer
lea, where it averages 65
years; England 62 years; New
Zealand, 90 years.
India is the shortest, with
an average of 28 years.
Not so long ago the second
biggest city in France had
neither man nor woman past
so years; 90 was once quite
old, and 70 extraordinary.

CIVIL SERVICE
PLANS NEW
TESTS
Psychology to SuppIant Old
Method of Determining
Employees Fitness.

Psychological tests will supplant,
in large measure the standard AGA
demic examinations for entrance to
to the Federal service.
The Civil Service Commission now
is preparing a monograph explain
ing the somewhat revolutionary
changes in it's examination meth
DDS which it proposes to put into
effect within the next year.
Sufficient experimentation with
the psychological tests already has
been made, in the opinion Of the
Civil Service Commission, to Justify
them and to warrant giving them
a permanent place in it's examfna-
ton procedure. All Of the prelim-
mary studies of the rev system
have been completed.
The general. clerical examination
already lays considerable stress
upon simple psychological tests of
the type developed by Prof Ter
man in California, and used by the
army during the war. Civil Serv-
ice experts say that the new tests
reveal the possession of mental
qualities required in clerical work.
The tests are simple and designed
10 demonstrate quick and accurate
thinking and the possession of
ordinary judgment.
The Civil Service Commission will
use the psychological tests on q
much broader scale from this time
forward.

DRIVE FOR
FUNDS IS
BEGUN
Society Needs Four Times as
Many Workers, Officials
Declare.
By GEORGE FRANKLIN.

By GEORGE FRANKLIN.
Nearly 5000 Washington resi-
dents were attended last year by
nurses furnished by the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurse Society, an
organization founded in the Dis
trict of Columbia twenty-five
years ago.
Approximately 1000 children
under one year of age were
nursed and treated by the same
corps of visiting nurses within
the district during the same
period.
In 1854 cases prospective
mothers were taught the rules of
hygiene and otherwise advised in
the care of children.
Chronic Cases Attended.
Additional to the above services
rendered by the society's nurses,
numerous chronic cases were aided
where otherwise the victim would
have been unable to secure a trained
nurse service.
A survey of the work of the organ
ization during the past year reveals
that it has extended it's aid to suf-
ferers without price where necessary,
and where partial payment for the
service was possible on a basis of
remuneration that at the most did
no more than pay the actual cost
involved
Washington has a population of
437 ST. residents The accepted
standard of visiting nurses to popu.
lation is fixed at one to each 1000
population. The society carries a
staff of twenty-three trained nurses
with two student nurses, or approx
mately one to each 5000 population,
showing that the District of Column
bia is only 25 per cent insured in
this respect. 1t is also to be con-
eidered that the territory covered by
the society's representatives en-
braces a tract containing sixty-nine
square miles, large areas Of which
are not reached at present by trolley
cars or other transportation facili-
ties. thus reducing the society's.
According to tie budgeeas4fixed
by the society for the current year
1t is necessary to raise $5S, 900 to
carry on the work and meet the in
creasing demands being made on the
society for nurse services. Part of
the fund necessary to meet the
budget has been subscribed by friends
of the society. While the exact fig
ures are not available showing the
total collections made toward the
fund, it is understood that approx
mately 20 per cent has been SUBJ
scribed and collected. The society
is now making a special effort to
make up the balance, and thousands
of persons in the District have been
appealed to in behalf of the fund.
