Says Cruise in Navy Is Mental Stimulant Is the mental activity of a man inâ€" creased after a cruise in the Navy? The answer is yesâ€"about 12 per cent, according to the records compiled by the naval authorities. 3 The Navy, it is said, keeps records on the educational progress of its men. In the past few years, all the recruits on first enlistment ‘had been required to take the "General Classiâ€" fication Test," a very interesting test 16 of intelligence, nimbleness of mind, and general knowledge. Recently the test has been given to men servâ€" ing in the U. S. Fleet, and more reâ€" cently to second enlistment men. The results of tflbulat}'ons of the scores made are interesting. Advancement in rating goes with a high score in the recruit test. Men hclding important battle, operating, or administrative positions. on one of ‘the battleships made consistently higher scores than the average. Men on setond enlistment increased their scores above their recruit scores by T HE P RES S an average of 12 points. In other words, the test is a good indication of the aptitude of a recruit, and is also an indication that a cruise in the Navy increases the mental acâ€" tivity of a man about 12 per cent. A navy flier in Washington went 40,000 feet in the air and found it was sevent ydegrees below zero. This is differentâ€"from the experience of the average fellow who finds that the more he goes up in the air the hotter he gets under the collar.
