SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

WIT H the spread Of mental
w testing a term has come into
more or less general use that
does not seem to be altogether
clearly understood.
This Is the Intelligence Quotient,
also known simply as the I. Q.
What the intelligence means
and it Is expressed in a fraction
or decimals-is the relationship
that exists between the mental age
of an individual. according to men,
tai tests, and his actual. chrono-
logical age.
Suppose, for example. that a
child is eight years old. Eight,
therefore. is its actual, chronolog-
ical age.
Suppose. furthermore, that the
child is tested on the test or some
other standardized psychological
procedure and only scores a men,
tai age Of four years. This means
that. psychologically speaking, the
child is not eight. but only four
years old.
The relationship existing be-
tween its mental age Of four and
its chronological age Of eight
might then be represented as q
fraction with four Is the numera-
tor and eight as the denominator.
The child's intelligence quotient
or I. Q. would therefore be, four
over eight, or one-half-expressed
in another way, point five (O.5). ..
Such = child, you see, would
only be developed mentally so per
cent of what 1t should be.

that is not at all flattering.
have known grown-ups to
worry about this. Although they
tend to pass it off as a joke they
have wondered in secret whether
everything is really normal with
their minds.
In practically all such cases the
trouble is that a test for children
has been employed to test an
adults mind which, psycholOgically
speaking, is both unfair and mac
curate.
Offhand, one would think that a
person mature in years ought to
get 100 per cent on tests that
normal z. or 10.year old is able
to pass. But not necessarily.
A child'S mind, you see, thinks
in different terms than an adults.
The difference between the two is
not merely Quantitative. 1t is
qualitative as well.
And so it often happens that q
gifted superior adult will not do
as we'll with methods which are
designed to elict information
about an immature and develop
ing brain.
know Of an instance where a
school teacher took a summer
course at university in mental
testing. When she returned to
her home town she wanted to test
all the children in the school
there.
But the principal, who hap
pened not to be as up-to-date in
teaching as his subordinate. was
suspicious of the whole business.
He allowed her to test about so
children and then he asked to be
tested himself.
Sure enough! His intelligence
quotient was only IS!
1t took considerable arguing
to convince that principal that
mental testing OF children was all
right after all.

Love fs a "woman's whole ex-
istence." 1t is her main business
in life. 1t is a sternly practical
business which involves a home
for herself and her children, pro-
lection in illness, life insurance,
social prestige, desirable leisure.
A woman cannot afford to be
vague or too impulsive in these
matters. However much she may
love she must always think where
love may lead her. And she al.
ways does. A woman always sees
a potential husband in every
lover. She analyzes love-auditS

only way in which this infirmity of

are realizing that these increased costs
are not due to profiteering by the mid
dleman, but in reality to the increase
in the actual cost of doing business
He expressed the opinion that the
recently authorized census of distribu-
tion would form the basis for a much
more thorough study Of the subject and
would enable trade associations and
other organizations to compile much
helpful supplementary material.
Explaining the investigations con-
Quoted by the department, he told how
