What Test Will CORRECTLY
Measure Mans Intellect?

and that is the way we are to select
u geniuses for the brave, new
world?
The Human Element
One does not like, naturally,
even by the faintest skepticism to
dim the colors of the rainbow f
the new dawn, but l had ccns.uer-
able experience with 10 tests in
the last army, and in my expert
ence, they do not turn up any
geniuses. The men they assigned
me as superintendent and par
ticularly fitted for the job to which
they we're assigned, soon became
acutely uninterested in the job
and we're much more troublesome
than some humble individual who
liked to work.
Something is left out of the in
telligence questions-the real hu-
man essence that makes the genius
cannot be determined. Many I'M
recognized geniuses walking our
streets will stay that way on ac-
count Of some quirk-perhaps
lack of ambition-the will to stay
obscure. The total human per-
sonality escapes the tests and we
will, l think, still have to depend
on the rough and tumble of trial
and error and luck in life.
In the meantime it is well not
to neglect the physical in picking
men and women for life's work.
In a study by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission Of New York,
the top men showed 90 physical
and 80 mental percentage. "It is
altogether possible" the study
states, "to have both brains and
Drawn. They are not mutually ex-
elusive competency catalogues, for
brains are as likely to accompany
a highly developed physique as
weak and fabby muscles.".
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. B., Calgary, Alberta-"What
is a diet for high blood pressure?"
Answer: No special diet is cal
culated to help high blood pressure
very much. The old idea, to elimi-
nate meat and eggs, has been given
up, though a moderate restriction
of protein foods and emphasis on
vegetables and fruits is advised.
More important than what you eat
is how much. Most blood pressure
people are overweight. Small,
nourishing meals are therefore the
order.

cepts all the most exaggerated re-
ports on the vitamins and believes
that by a little chemical hocus-
pocus we are going to turn mil
lions of constitutionally made
quate people into hustling, alert
and successful citizens.
Another of his ideas is that we
should develop more geniuses. He
very properly points out that
much of the advance of mankind
has been achieved by persons of
outstanding abilities, who deserve
the name of geniuses, and that
there are many thousands of in
dividuals of high intelligence
walking the streets of our towns
and cities today, their abilities I'M
recognized, and that this material
should be utilized. The way he in
tends to bring this about is to
recognize the geniuses by intelli-
gence tests.
Tests of Geniuses
He has a very interesting set of
tables to show that the geniuses
of history have had their intelli-
gence q~uotients measured (by
studies of their work and biog-
raphies). For instance, John
Adams and Lincoln had an 10 of
140-145, while Goethe, John Stuart
Mill and Newton had los of 190-
200.
I don't know exactly what 10
tests were used to make these de-
examinations. The old Binet-
Simon test had for adults such
problems as the Encouragement of
a triangle and the ability of the
subject to solve the questions of
the president. For the latter, one
doesn't have to 60 to Goethe or
John Stuart Mill. There is a fell
low who sits on the mineral oil
barrel in Albert Doerschuk's drug
store who solves the presidents
problems faster than you can
state them.
In college freshman tests, one
question is: "If James had four
times as much money as George,
he would have SIG. How much
money has George?" Are we to
understand that Goethe could
solve that one and one-half times
better and faster than Lincoln,

real Importance in surgery. The
present conflict, however, has
brought up the same line Of argu-
ment. Julian Huxley New Re-
public, April %, 1941) reports on
the activities of medical and gen.
eral science in this war. l excerpt
some Of his items.
Very surprising it is that while
it was anticipated that neuroses
such as shell-shock would be very
widespread in the civilian popula-
ton, there has actually been very
little of it. In December the total
number of civilian eurose after
an air raid requiring admission
to a hospital in all Britain was
twenty-eight."
The explanation is apparently
that shell shock is a defensive
mechanism. The shell-shocked SOL
der is removed from the front
lines to a nice, safe hospital. But
with air raids the whole civilian
population is the front line. The
hospital to which they would be
removed would be far less safe
than the street.
New Building Facts
Bombing has caused scientists
to study new facts and principles
about the strength of building ma
terials, which will be valuable in
the future for building science in
general and in particular for the
design of buildings intended to re-
sist earthquakes.
Blast effects on human beings
brought in new types of injuries.
The blast results in a wave of in
tense compression of air, travel
ing outward in advance of a wave
Of rarefaction. This compress

an increase in the velocity of

. The problem Of fatal vehicle
accidents in the United States is

They are useless and unnecessary

on the subject in placing respon-

Gates, for one thing, that most of
the fatalities occur to pedestrians
and the guilt for the accident or
death must be placed, in the large
majority Of cases, on the victim
that is, the pedestrian. This rather
upsets our ideas that the driver
is always to be blamed.
