Dean Advises Workers Be
Given Personality Test

Need for new types of personality
tests to show why workers are or
are not fitted for certain types of
employment was pointed out by the
dean of the school of education,
Pennsylvania State college
"a large proportion Of workers
who are fired from industrial jobs
are well trained and fully able to do
their work, but they have PERSONAL
ty difficulties" Dean Trabue said
recently in speaking before the Ma
tional Vocational Guidance associa-
ton meeting in San Francisco. Mel
Their interviews nor letters of recon-
mendation give adequate indications
of the necessary personality traits,
he explained. The interviewer's own
personality often interferes with an
objective estimate, and different in
reviewers frequently disagree about
the applicants qualifications. SINH
lar objections can be made to rec
concentrations
While a number of good PERSONAL
ty tests have been devised, Dean
Trabue declared that some of these
merely attempt to discover abnor-
malities and completes rather than
fitness for a particular job. Relia-
BILE tests which give more informa-
ton about normal workers in cur
rent industrial occupations would
undoubtedly contribute to greater eff
ficiency In our war effort.
Beginning OF Red Cross
Henri Dunant, a Swiss philanthro-
pist, in 1862 published q booklet de-
scribing the inadequate attempts to
care for the wounded in the Battle
of Solferino in 1859. This led to the
formation Of a commission to draft
an agreement providing for national
committees to assist army medical
aid corps. The first international
meeting was called at Geneva in
1863. The American Red Cross was
organized in 1881 under the leader
ship Of Clara Barton, who became
its first president. Congress grant
ed its charter in 1905

Parachute Jumping Is
Touch, Declares Expert

SHEPPARD FIELD, TEXAS. -
Parachute jumping is risky, takes
a lot of nerve, and is tougher job
than the ordinary infantry, accord
ing to Private Franklin L. Ragon,
who before his present enlistment
in the air corps was member OF the
first parachute battalion organized
in this country.
Now a member of the 408th school
squadron at Sheppard Field, Texas,
Private Ragon took time of from
his recruit training to recount his
experiences at Fort Benning, Ga,
where he was trained as para
chutist in the 50lst parachute bat
talon.
A volunteer for this work from the
10th infantry at Fort Warren, Wyo.,
Private Ragon went through the
rigorous instruction in parachute
packing and the proper method OF
jumping and landing. He made his
first Jump from 1,500 feet, the Sec
ond from 1000 feet and the third
from $50.
