class show that many of the chil-

of the students, are below normal.

tclligenco Test, and the Torman Edi-
tion of the Binet-Simons ^telligence
test. The Rhode IsJiuhI test and the
Detroit test are picture tests, and
are less comprehensive than the
Binet-Simons test.
As a whole, >he children scored
above average. In the Rhode Island
test, the average score for a six
year old child is 22.3. The scores
made by the children of this, Kinder-
garten range from 24 to 28, although
some of the children are only four
or five years old. In the Detroit
test, the children scored from 19 to
27 points, while the average ,is 12
to S3 points.

practical problems, and tests of vari-
ous phases of mental ability, which
require reasoning and the exercise
of one's faculties. Their purpose is
to test the native intelligence of the
individual, rather than the knowledge
which he may have acquired in
school. They begin with a test for
a three year old child arid gradually
advance in difficulty to the test for
a superior adult.
Each test the child passes gives
him credit for 9? certain number of
months, then when his mental age
is found, the intelligence quotient i's
determined by the ratio of the men-
tal age to the chronological age. In
recording! the scores, the following
table is used:
90-110 Normal. *
110-120 Superior.
lgO-l-W Very Superior.
140- Genius or near Genius.
. Of the fifteen children, who Were
tested, one child made a score of
110, just on the border line of genius.
Five were in the very 'superior
group, and the others were all"nor-
mal or superior.
Some of the responses given were
amusing, especially the definitions
the children gave for common words.
They shoVved how vague and varied
the conceptions of a single word
may be. and the efferent associa-
tions that may arise* Three children
defined thi word "sportive" respec-
,ticely as: (1) "You don't cry," (2)
"Somebody that gets new clothes all
the time." (3) "Supporters."
Only the Binet-Simons test was
given to the practice teachers, and
the results showed that none of the

"Shattered" nerves and a crumpled
fonder were the result of an acci-
dent on Jennings Monday, April 6.
<4 when two cars, one of which con-
: taincd the S. \V. K. debaters and
coaches, ran together.
There was a ripping, grinding
sound accompanied by a shock and
the usual crowd gathered nriracu-
HtKtely, small boys running madly,
mechanics hunting trade, and loafers
and the "cop."
Questioning by the cop revealed
the fact that the drivpr of the other
car was only thirteen years old.
There was hot dissension among
the by-standers as to who was right,
the. arguers going so far as to de«
daro themselves willing to go to
court and support their argument.
Various accusations about being
blincl and "cross-eyed" were heard.
"Mary is just thirteen but she is

when a charge was preferred against

"Yes'm,"
1 have never loved to walk; it
may be because I have always been
hindered by my plumpness. My weak
point has always been a desire for
a means of conveyance. I did not
learn to walk until I was fourteen
months old, and my mother's ex-
planation was that 1 had rather be
carried about. Later on, my pets,
a dog, and a lamb, were the suf-
ferers of my weakness. Now my
sister tells me that I sat watching
flies go by looking like a bthn wait-
ing for a ride. The saddest part
of it all is that I have not been able
to control my weakness.
My first real vehicle came, to me
on my fourth birthday, the twenty-
fifth day of December, nineteen hun-
dred and eight. When I awoke on
that Christmas Hay, I received the
two great shocks of my young life;
1 was carried down to the parlor
by my brother to receive the Christ-
mas old Sanhi had left on the tree
for me. The bright red color of a
kiddie-car caught my eye; when ' 1 j
glimpsed its little yellow' wheels!
peeping out, I could see many;
happy dreams that would come true.i

until later. ' In the days that fol-
lowed my friends aftd I had a good
time riding around on the walks.
I liked my kiddie-car very much and
kept it for several months, but one
day I left it on the drive-way and
my brother backing his car out
of the garage, crashed the little
red car into a million pieces.' My
heart was broken, but I was promised
another in the futdre.

brother's weakness, for tour years

Although the debaters, Bemlce
Sillcy, Elizabeth Robinson and Alice
Hill put forth their best efforts,
•ided by Prof. Win, Stuart and Prof.
B R. Cowgill, the woman remained
me to carry things hofne from the
store for her. I began to learn all
kinds of^. stunts. Each one of my
friends that owned a "bike" used
to see who could do the, most daring
things. My bicycle taught me to
reason. If it started to fall one way
then I learned to lean in the oppo-
site direction. 'But the bicycle soon
lost its "thrill," and 1 began to
think of vehicles with more speed.
Then it was I found I had develop-
ed a new taste.
Some years later, oh receiving a
letter from Mr. Ford, I knew 1 was
the proud owner of a Ford car. A
chance at a Ford car had been given
to any girls who had never cut their
hair. I took a chance, and in the
letter Mr. Ford congratulated me
on being the lucky girl. On having
my choice I chose a coupe , and re-
ceived it within three weeks. My
family did not like the idea of., my
owning a car, but since I was mak-
ing my own money by writing short
stories I was permitted to keep
it.
