Aptitude tests developed by Dr. Fred A. Moss, head of the department of psychology of George Washington Uni- versity, will be used in the selection of candidates for admission to medical colleges throughout the country, as the result of a resolution adopted by the Association of American Medical Col- leges at its recent annual convention. The association has appointed a com- mittee consisting of Dean Solomon of the Western Reserve School of Medi- cine, Dean Wisecotten of the Syracuse University Medical School and Dr. Ben ‘Wood, representing the School of Phy- siclans and Surgeons of Columbia Uni- versity, to co-operate with Dr. Moss in making plans for giving the tests. According to the present plan, uni- form aptitude tests will be given in every accredited medical school in the country on the same day. The Asso- ciation of American Medical Colleges will tabulate the tesults and forward them to deans and admission commit- tees of the .member schools. Experi- ments conducted during the past year by Dr. Moss in 22 of the leading medical colleges have demonstrated that the use of the tests in combination with pre- medical grades as a criterion in the se- lection of candidates will decrease the number of failures in medical schools 50 to 75 per cent. Pioneer in Tests. A psychologist and psychiatrist of note, Dr, Moss has been a ploneer in the development of aptitude and per- sonnel tests for use in education, busi- ness and industry. He was one of the early developers of the short-answer type of examination now widely used in colleges. His experiments to deter- mine the effects of sleep and of fatigue on the human body have received wide notice, as have his social intelligence tests, mental alertness tests and teach- ing aptitude tests to eliminate guess- work in rating teachers. At present Dr. Moss is engaged in a study of nerve and muscle fatigue occasioned by driv- ing and other exercises for the Society of Automotive Engineers. A study is also being made of methods of selecting department store executives, under the auspices of the Soclal Science Research Council and the Hecht group of de- partment stores in Washington, Balti- more and New York. On Faculty Since 1921. Dr. Moss holds the degree of master of arts from Columbia University and the degrees of doctor of philosophy and doctor of medicine from the George ‘Washington University.

YOUR CITY'S NAME MAY BE BSOLETE American Towns Fail to Keep Pace With Changing Maps of Europe. Scores of American towns are named for Old World places that are non-ex- istant on the maps of the countries where the originals occur. Citizens of towns named Ghent in Kentucky, Minnesota, New York and West Virginia can find, when they travel in Europe, no city which the Belgians call Ghent. Belgium has a Gand, but no Ghent. ‘There are Naples in 13 American States and Belgrades in six, but their counterparts in Europe are Napoli, by capital of Jugoslavia. Your City's Name Has a Past. “Every name on a map has a past,” says a bulletin of the Natioinal Geo- graphic Society, taking up the check- ered history of some American place names. “The town of Oslo, Minn.,"” continues the bulletin, “has the distinction of antieipating a change in Europe's geo- graphic names years before it took place. Oslo was carrying on in Min- nesota long before the name of the capital of Norway was changed from gg‘nm-nln to the ancient designation, o. “Contrary to United States postal regulations, which prohibit two towns of the same name in one State, there are two Finlands in, Minnesota. One spells its name Finland and the other Suomi. Both are named for the Euro- pean homeland of Finn settlers, the first for the Anglicized name of the new republic and the second for the true native name which Finns them- selves use. “By majority rule, seven Venices, in California, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio and Utah, can't be wrong. But ip trying to invoke the charm of a famous Italian city an Arizona community has copied the true Italian name, Venezia. “The creation in nearly all European countries of rds on geographic names, which have handed down de- cisfons on official names, raises a prob- lem for scores of American towns.
