DODGE DROS. 95 AMONG THE NEW BOOKS yrmmiiiiiiiMmiiniiiimnmmii You Should Know 9 By M. R. Parker Stock- - Measure Your Mind is a collection of the mental tests which have been used in the army and large in- dustrial plants. The book explains how to give the tests and how to mark them with inferior ability, in: dicated by scores of from nothing up to three, and superior ability for scores of fifteen to sixteen. This is also test very entertaining, as a parlor game, the authors add, and may be used without offense to any one, if no mention is made of the relationship of the results to mental ability. This is tactful, for most of us, if we pause to think about it, cannot help but admit that many of our best friends are pretty dumb. The beauty of the tests as parlor games is that the host can find out whether his friends are of inferior ability or merely low average ability without letting them in on the findings. There is something to be said, however, for a frank explanation to the guests of the meaning and the purpose of the tests. By studying the questions over beforehand for a few hours the host can often insure himself of scoring superior ability in every test and thereby prove to his friends that he is by no means the fool they have always considered him. For instance, take the case of a test such as the folinlowing, If ontongeny invariably geminates phylogeny, circumscribe the word giving the location of the Ourcq; if not, underscore the word that locates the Mandible. England Foot Utah Face Peru France Arm India. Here the man who has looked up the meaning of ontogeny may have a decided advantage. One or two of the tests are not to be solved by easy recourse to the dictionary. There is one, for instance, in which the victim is asked to check off the best of the four answers which are assigned to each of twenty-fou- r questions. For example, the fifth question is, What should one do if he accidentally steps on some one elses toes? and the answers from which a selection must be made are, Call for help. Run for the doctor. Ask the persons pardon. Take his We presume that the own part. correct answer is Ask the persons pardon, although we can imagine cases where it might be more effective to call for help. Still more difficult, however, is the ninth test question, What should a person do when he Is late getting started to work in the morning? The answers offered are, Wait till the next day. Think up some excuse to make. Try to make up time by Blame it on the street hurrying. cars. Great . IPirice We rather fear that in this case the experts who framed the test have confused morality and mentality. We suppose that the desired answer is Try to make up time by hurrying, but we know of many a job, just the same, in, which it would be a great deal smarter not to arrive until some good yarn had been devised. Even Wait till the next day ought not to he justly thrown out as an evidence of inferior ability. Only three minutes is allowed for the entire twenty-fou- r questions, although the one we have cited seems to us contentious enough for a debate. Again not enough information is imparted in certain cases to make- - an intelligent answer possible. Consider the first on the list, What should one do when he is thirsty? with its Cry until some one gives him a drink. Eat a piece of salt pork. Get a drink of water. Read Har-vard-Ya-le advertisement. Up to the age of nine or ten months one will do much better to cry until some one gives him a drink, than to get We suppose the a drink of water. latter is the answer desired by the examiners. Probably it is the best that most of us can do these days, but it is rather a poor compromise. a And Special Sale All This Week WE PRINT THE CITIZEN Century printing Company ROMNEY W. G. J. Q.
