Test of Library Workers.

Intelligence tests Of employees of the
Washington Public Library by the In
stitute for Government Research give
them a high rating. Any one having
business with the library knows that
the competence Of workers there is of
high degree, but 1t is gratifying to
have public confirmation of the fact
from the Institute Of Government Re-
search. In the corps of the library
workers are many boys and girls
and the age average must be consid-
erably lower than that of the bodies
of men with which they are compared.
The tests give the library workers an
average score of 144, while substan-
TALLY the same tests applied to about
a million and half white men of
military age during the late war gave
an average score of 63. The intelIi-
gence test system, the basis of which
is the Army alpha test, takes little ac-
count of schooling, its object being
to determine how promptly and ac-
curately the person examined grasps
and executes given problems. The
devoted and Industrious workers in
our only public circulating library
have made a fine showing in intelli-
gence and fitness for their positions,
and If the pay of these workers were
proportioned to their worth 1t would
be much higher. 1t would be crafty.
ing to the people Of Washington if
our legislators in appropriating for
public library salaries should bear in
these public servants require for their
duties adequate schooling and tech
nical training and that they are of
far higher average intelligence than
the ordinary run of men.
