Intelligence vs. Character.
Professor Carl C. Brigham of Princeton
declares that while intelligence tests are use-
ful they are too inaccurate to: be trusted

which most laymen have Bald” for some
tirne. The trouble with intelligence tests is
that while they measure. mental capacity

Thus, in a-test, one youth might score forty-
five and another ninety, and one would be
tempted to conclude that the first would
make only half ‘as good a student as. the
second; but if the first were twige as fond
of study as the second the conclusion would
be quite wrong. :

Can any laboratory test be devised for

on which his pat affirmative answer, given
in the test, throws no light. There is one
method that might help the deans. Let them

sideration with another, the best students.

Nathan College Humor;

That college humor “inclines a bit too

For every college to regularly inflict on
