The United States government l through the children's bureau of thel Department of Labor has been inves~ tlzatim: certain psychological test! work of Northwestern L'nixeraityl professors among the children of the. Evanston public schools and. accord- ing to an investigator who has just| finished the inquiry, this Work ii well' in advance of anything like it inl America. The tests rare going on from time to time among the acveraL hundred school children and rcvolve‘ at present solely about their music-ll ability. Prof. Osbourne McConathyH head of the department of community: music at Northwestern University. School of Music. and Prof. Elmer 5.: Jones, director of the university'al School of Education. are directing the‘: experiments. ‘ In the experimental Work the chil-v dren are given tiVe fundamental tests in the fifth grade school-rooms. These tests include musicpitcli. time." intensity, consonant-e and musical. memory. The results are carefully! tabulated and estimated by the two? professors who select all pupils who: score 75 per cent and over for fur-'i ther tests. First. letters are writtenl to the parents of the pupils informinur them that their children show marked musical inclination and suggesting further tests along that line. Most of the parents are greatly pleased that Johnny and Mary show any abil- ity whatsoever. and nearly always their consent is given. There follow in Prof. Jones' other in Old (‘ollege building Northwestern University campus. and in neighboring offices. some rather spectacular tests modelled after the Seashore tests at the University of 1017.. however. hu invented one testing machine: and Pre ter Dill Scott of Northw venity has invented ano which are in regular use. pie. one of the muhines delicate tests. registering thousandth of I second.

A‘ cu jet in front of the disc discloeell an infinite number of puncture: and: as the tone is registered on the dials, the holes definil' the tone seem to‘ stand still. In other words. the pupil “sees himself sing" and the teacher gets I record of his uccurocy of tone. The chronoecope, in another room.” measures the intern! between the stimulus of receiving an impression and the pressing of an electric key to' the thousandth part of a second. The pupil sits in front of the sppsntus' with'tWo fingers pressed lightly a what looks like the key of s telegraph instrument. When 1 light shines suddenly in 3 hole in front of him, he is expected to press the key. A pendulum is releesed ss he presses the key and Winter: the diflerence in light-flush end the physical see of the pupil. A fairly good record is 120th one-thousandth of a second.
