That is the Army's own ap-
praisal of a list that goes to con-
gress next Friday. The generals
proudly proclaimed that their new
methods more than twice as good
as the old and "far superior to
any used in industry or business.
Although the Army is discharging
officers, congress voted six months
ago to give it 5000 permanent Of
ficers beyond the normal peacetlme
level. The War department started
out to fill the com ;ssions from
800. 900 men who were temporary
officers during the war.
1t got 1O8, 900 volunteers. Physi-
cal tests and Withdrawals cut the
total to $1,000.
The new system went to work
on the rest. Or. Edwin Henry Of
Oradell. N. j., chief Psychologist
for personnel research said it pick
! ed a person with these general
qualifications for the perfect Of
ficer:
/. He is in the upper IS per cent
of the population in intelligence.
2. He has the equivalent OF at
least two years. in college.
3. He was a high versatile learn
ing ability.
4. He is very stable under pres
sure.
5. He is mature emotionally.
6. He has performed well under
war time conditions as shown by
his medals, awards and records.
T.. He has the habit of saving
money, ''even a little.
8. Chances are he comes from
the farm or a small city.
Inc Candidates "e1C oANSo ~
from information they supplied
about themselves, from civilizations
by officers with whom they served
during the war, from interviews
by senior officers and from COM
parsons with officers of known
and tested abili, y.
Score sheets were sent to Wash
ington and run through a machine.
The final score determined the
candidates place on the list of
eligibles. With some leeway for
specialists, the Army took the best
for the $500 commissions.
Other valuable officer material
was put on a waiting list, as the
Army hopes congress will grant it
another $4,000 permanent officers.
