Psychological Check Is De-.
vised by Educators.

Chtcago.-Psychological tests, pre-
pared from material furnished by five
of the principal universities of the
United States, will be given to fresh
men of more than hundred colleges
and universities, and will present them
selves to the field Of education as an
entirely new step to improve present
methods of determining who are the
brilliant and who the dull students.
The announcement, together with
the description of the tests, which are
said to be the most thorough of any
In the history of educational Esychol-
ogy, was made by Associate Professor
L. L. Thurstone of the University of
Chicago department of psychology,
authority on college and army tests.
Five universities, cooperating in
the program, which is under the direc-
ton of the American council on ecu
cation, have submitted to Or. Thur
stone the most complete and satisfac-
tory tests for determining general and
specific intelligence which their psy-
biologists have been able to devise.
are: University of Chicago, Princeton
university, University of Minnesota,
Dartmouth college and Northwestern
university.
1t has been generally admitted, ac-
cording to Dr. Thurstone, that present
day entrance examinations and re-
quirements are inadequate to Indicate
the bright students or eliminate the
unequtpped. A freshman may enter
from high school with a fair record
and then fail in college during fine
first year. 1t is essential to provide
some method which will supplement
the scholarship records from high
school and which will determine ac-
curately who should be allowed to
enter. Each university requires that
n freshman shall have a satisfactory
high school average before it will ad-
NIT him to college,
Outline of Tests.
The general nature of the tests is
as follows:
Ingenuity in using the English Ian
guage. Submitted by Dr. H. T.
Moore, Dartmouth college)
Arithmetical reasoning. Submitted
by DR.. L. L. Thurstone, University of
Chicago)
Artificial language test to determine
how quickly student can adapt him
