NOT ALL BRIGHT H.S. SENIORS TO ATTEND -CQLLEGEJEPORT IS A statewide mental purvey of high school seniors, including those of Richmond and Wayne county high schools, has recently been completed ty Prof. V. F. Book, head of the psychological department of Indiana university at Bloomington. The purpose of the survey was to locate by means of reliable mental tests, the ablest pupils graduating from Indiana high schools this year. It was believed that all young people graduating from Indiana high schools who really possess superior native mental endowment should be located, encouraged and helped to continue their education beyond the high school Etage. A reliable intelligence rating

would greatly aid deans and college faculties in directing and supervising the educational work of their freshman students. To give college authorities help along this line, high school principals were asked to have the intelligence score made by each senior student recorded on his permanent school record and sent with his scholarship standing to the authorities where he expected to attend college. The first problem of the study was tc ascertain by reliable measurement, first, the average of intelligence found among high school seniors in Indiana; second, the variations in intelligence which occured among the numbers of this group of mental endowment which this selected group of young Xeople possessed; and third, the relative frequency with which these various grades of intelligence were found among the individuals of the special group. 6,000 Seniors Examined. It was found that the group expecting to attend college ranks above the group which will not attend. This study shown that about 25 per cent of iht students possessing the highest grades of intelligence are not considering college, while about 6 per cent of those possessing the lowest grades are definitely planning to attend. Almost as many students with a low intelligence rating are going to college ea those who have a superior rating. For every level or grade of intelligence the boys rank higher than the girls. The seniors in 320 high schools were examined which amounted to about 6,000 pupils. The results of these investigations will be published in book form during the summer and will bo distributed to t uperintendents and principals of the Mate for study. . The investigations will be repeated next year. "College authorities and instructors thould not expect the same quality nnd amount of work from students who vary 50 greatly in native mental endowment. They should use the knowledee which has boon concerning these differences in- intelligence and rdjust their work accordingly," Prof. Book said.

Who Smiled Them Beans? Tracker Wants to Know Who spilled the beans down in front of the city building Wednesday?

Whereupon the trucker got out and got under. For 10 minutes the traffic of North Fifth street rode on beans.
