MAIL EDITION MAIL EDITION THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN No.139 Vol. XXIII UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, MARCH 21, 1926 Psychology Quiz Only One of Many Tests of Student Answers Help Advisers is Offering Counsel; Serve Also to Evaluate Endeavor Psychology tests, required of all students entering the University of Kansas, are the basis for searching scientific study into the validity of such tests, and they form also one of the bases for forming judgments when students come to the university. No circumstance is a grading in an intelligence test taken as a basis for excluding a student from the University, or forgiving a student an undue advantage. From the scientific side, an examination, for example, of the grades on a test given at any age, shows that of the lowest ten per cent in intelligence ratings, only 1 per cent received "A" grade in any subject, and 58 per cent received an "F" in one or more subjects. Over at the other end of the intelligence rating, in the case of a ten percent or ten students the students received an "A" in one or more subjects, and 6 per cent received an "F." Not Sure for Individual "These are significant figures, and indicate probabilities," said P. B. Lawson, assistant dean of the College of Liberal Arts, but the figures are not at all certain for any particular individual. If 50 percent received an "F" or more, that means also that 42 per cent did not receive an "F." "These figures, then, are only an indication, and must be considered only in connection with other indirects of a student's worth. In my work I must counsel with many of the students who find their help during the exam, and when a student comes to me under these circumstances I always look up his psychological rating and the transcript of his high school work. With these before me, I am readiness for conference meetings if I can usually justify good judgment of what a student is doing, and what he is capable of doing." Tests Found Most Rapid Denn J. G. Brandt of the College of Liberal Arts corroborated Doctor Lawson's explanation of the use to which the results of the psychological tests are put, and added that the students listened better when they peer over their desk than the den'ts' office for advice, that the results of the tests are helpful here also. "The psychological tests are of decided value in three or four respects," said Prof. Raymond H. Wheeler, head of the department of psychology. "In the first place, these tests are the quickest and most accurate means yet delivered for estimating a student's capabilities. Personal evaluation by the instructor tends to become curate and less effective than with the students, and prejudices or favoritism creep in to cloud judgment. "Perhaps the greatest value of the intelligence tests is their use in keeping the student at the highest level of efficiency and achievement of which "No Digress to Be Slow" "All persons are not of the same degree of mental alertness any more than they are all of the same physical build or strength. It is no grace to be slower in killing processes than someone else is. The difference only that work one person can and should do, is not the work that another could do, so should attempt to do." and amnesiac. "To my mind, the person socially insensitive is the one who is capable of a certain type of work, but who is content to do the easier thing." "When a student is found to be doing poor work in his classroom, and the psychological test shows him among the best 10 per cent of females, an inference can be drawn, and it not only develops that he is doing too much outside work, or is allowing social interactions to interfere with his class work, or in some cases becoming addicted to drag on the pro- Hard Work a Great Hustle "On the other hand, we sometimes find students rated much lower deciles in the psychological test, who are not as proficiently教的. Investigation usually discuses, in such instances, that some unusual circumstance like illness made the test an unsatisfactory one, or else good hard Hard Work a Great Help Self-Taught Iola Youth Has Astronomer's Spirit (Continued on page 3) Kendall Warner, a junior in the Iola High School, spent a night recently observing the stars through the University of Kansas telescope. The significance of the story lies not in its news, but in the fact that it indicates an advance step in a great ambition. When the young man, a university astronomer, permission to use the telescope, Doctor Alter asked a few questions that satisfied him that young Warner understood the use of the telescope. As a university age, he determined to become an astronomer. "I was reminded of my own youth," said Doctor After, "and of my early determination to study the heavens, I found that Warner knew more astronomy than anyone else. He studied of books, then did the students who had completed a year of astronomy in the University. I lent him a book that would interest him—one the University summer academy taught him well way through in a nine-hour course. hour courses. "I am satisfied this young min has before him a fine career as an astronomer."
