And they turn out en- masse at

But the picture is not all rosy.

Even the educators who favor
it disagree on number of points
Besides their divergence OF opin-
ion on What is a gifted child?'
they differ on how his special edu-

think it should be done in special

Others believe the gifted should
be given extra work in their regu-

How Child Is Selected.
How is the gifted child selected
While educators generally agree thai
he should score an 10 of at least
130 on some scale like the Binet-
Simon test, they also believe choice
should not be made on that basis
alone. Too many other factors
such as character and the ability
TO get on with people-are impor-
tant in anybody's life.
Children in the intellectually
gifted classes in New York public
schools are selected on the basis
of the Binet-Simon test, plus higf
educational achievement in all sub
jects, with emphasis on reading
ability.

posts, starting at $4,000 a year, offer
opportunity are indicated in the fol-
lowing 194l list Of junior professional
assistant examinations, which it is
expected may be offered again: Ad-
ministrative technician, ,-agronomist,
animal nutrition, biologist. business
analyst, chemist, economist, engi-
neer, forester, geologist, home econ
omist, horticulturist, legal assistant.
meteorologist, physicist, range con-
servationist, soil scientist, writing
and editing and zoologist.
viii Be Reannounced.
The purpose of the Junior profess
sional assistant examination is to
recruit young college graduates for
professional and scientific positions
IN the Government. The examination
is in reality not a single examination
but a number of examinations given
at the same time. The covering title
is given to indicate that the posi-
tions are of Junior grade, are in the
professional service, and that the
basic educational requirements are
similar.
While this examination is to be
reannounced annually as a matter
Of policy, it does not necessarily fol-
low that all optional subjects will
be included each year. The needs of
the rapidly expanding service of the
Government, the adequacy Of the
existing register to meet those needs,
and the facilities of the commission
for holding additional examinations
will be determining factors.
In 1889 a total of 1850 applica-
tions were received; 38976 of the
applicants were admitted to the ex-
animation, 9,431 passed the exam
ination. In 1910, of the 81 .507 appli-
cants, 4,160 were admitted, and H.
268 passed it.
With the Government defense
needs calling for thousands of addi-
t1onal workers in many groups and
clasSiflcations, the Civil Service
Commission is recruiting men and
women for jobs, not only in WASH
lngton, where most of the posts are
clerical and professional, but also
for the field, where most Of the Jobs
are for the skilled trades, such as in
armament and defense production.
The list of examinations open to
prospective Government workers run
into the dozens, with opportunities
In hundreds Of places. A mere list
ing OF the names of the examina-
tlonS and the general classification
OF jobs would run to columns in this
newspaper. Detailed information
can best be obtained by prospective
applicants at the Civil Service Com
mission, whose public entrance is at
tne corner of Seventh and F streets
NV. An elaborate system of in
formation is available there.

tional defense is always being nour-
ished.
Thus, Washington, although it is
not a major defense area, is doing
its utmost in training men and
women needed by various industries
in producing national defense.
In addition an unprecedented op-
portunity Is being afforded to the
employed and the unemployed to
secure skilled training in trades that
are essential in peace as well as in
war for America.
