The employes of the District Public Library are far above the average in abstract intelligence. This has been demonstrated by the gradings, just published, for Army alpha tests given to the library staff by the Institute for Government Re- search in an effort to determine a mean standard for such workers in other large cities. These tests are presumed to demon- strate the ability of the individual to! blindly some mapped course. Appligd to approximately one and a half mil- lion white men during the World War, they resulted in an average score of 63. Applied to the library workers, including the pages and clerks as well as those actually handling the books, they resulted in an average score of 144 Average Is High. This shows, according to Fred Tel. ford of the Bureau for Government Research, that the library workers are recruited from at least the upper 10 per cent of the population in re- spect to intelligence. pay, he says, women seek library Jobs | men used to seek jobs in banks uring the associations and hon- of the positions more than the pay envelopes. The tests, Mr. Telford nothing regarding the soc ical or moral intelligence of ay strated that, as a general rule, all these others accompany abstract in telligence in every walk of life. Thus the fastest worker usually is the most aecurate, the most industri- ous and the most honest, while those who ‘work slowly ‘and apparently with great deliberation often are found to make the greatest number of mis- takes. There are so many variations from this rule, however, that no gen- eral law can be framed at present, Mr, Telford says, which.would be safe to follow in hiring and promoting em- ployes in any business. The library workers rank slightly below Army officers in the Engineer | Corps. Field Artiller & ‘orps and field signal b On the other hand, they rank considerably above officers of machine gun bat- talions, Infantry, Quartermaster Corps, Medical, Dental and Veterinary l'flrpn.; Tests applied to the students of 20 colleges for men resulted in a aver- age of 130 for the subjects, against 144 for the library workers. The tests in 13 colleges for women gave an average of 126 The average for students in 44 colleges and normal schools is only 125.8 As a result of the experiments here | a standardized test to be used in hiring and advancing library workers has been drawn up. The basis of this is the Army alpha test, in which pre- vious education counts’ for little, and the only object is to test the ability of the brain itself to grasp and ex- ecute situations. It is designed pri- marily for soldlers, Mr. Telford says, but has proved a rather accurate gauge of ability in other lines, for in- stance, ‘in_sizing up applicants for e admission. r the library workers, however, ain educational standard is nec- housewives rival high- In spite of poor |.
