MEASURING BRAINS
PROVING SUCCESSFUL
Tests Made on Some Backward Stu
dents Shows Up Weaknesses That
Can Be Remedied
Mor hose lour brains mettourod,
In the School of the Liberal Arts
interesting tests have recently been
made to determine the quantity and
quality of brain possessed by students.
By the use of the Stanford revision of
the Binet-Simon tests various students
have been subjected to eiaminatlon
with somewhat unexpected results. For
example. a nouns man alai come to
the end of the last semester with not
less than four conditions and failures

lary knowledge. was above the "average
aduli." That he failed in his college
elms work seems to be due wholly to
a carelessness about study rather than
to a leak of brains
Another young man having practical
ly the same general result, Bo far as
the total is concerned, wan much slow

throughout all his work sound and care
ful Brilliancy was not his strong point
as wan that of the first young man re
ferred to However, the second etu
dont came through the semester with
only A's and B's.
- Other tests show similar results The
conclusion seems to be that college
work depends upon exertion and close
attention to business as much as upon
natural aptitudes and brilliancy.
