P5YC1-PHIS1L
TESTS INCOMPLETE
Correlation Between Mental
and Bodily Ability Not
Yet Demonstrated
“Not all of the psychological and phy
sical tests which have been given the
students of the University during the
past few months have as yet been corre
lated, but enough has been accom
plished,” says Dr. John F. Bovard, dean
of the school of physical education, who
has been organizing and directing the
work, “to show that the results were not
what we expected to find.
“I am disappointed,” said Dr. Bo
vard, “because I hoped the tests would
show that there was a positive correla
tion between physical and mental abil
ity, and despite the records, I still think
it is true. The only thing which we have
found out is that the general run of stu
dents here ranks as high as at any other
college.
“We must back up and start over
again and find out where the fault lies.
It seems that the trouble is not with
the mental tests but with the physical
tests. So many of these experiments
are in the form of a trick which some
men can perform because they know the
trick and therefore get a high standing,
while others do not rank so highly be
cause they have not mastered the diffi
culties of the trick. To correct these
faults, we must either have tests which
none are proficient in or else give every
one the same amount of time to practice
and learn.
“Another disturbing factor is that so
many of the fellows don’t try. They do
just about enough to get by and let it
go at that. Here a psychological factor
enters in which is disturbing in so many
physical and nJbntal tests.”
The mental test, which was given the
students, is known as the Otis Mental
Ability Test. It consists of a serios
of questions and problems, presented in
such a manner that they must be analy
tically considered in order to be solved.
It is a higher type of mental examina
tion than the Binet test, which guages
only the average adult and the superior
adult. The Otis test is essentially a col
lege test.
The first attempt at a correlation of
this kind was accomplished recently at
the University of Indiana by Dr. Samuel
Edwin Smith, a psychiatrist who has done
much in that field. Dr. Smith found by
comparing the football men and the gen
eral run of students that the football
men ranked a little higher than the oth
ers. However, no data was ever pub
lished and the experiment was lost to
the public.
Dr. Bovard does not intend to stop his
experiments with what he has found by
those tests. He will have to spend some
time in reorganizing his material, dis
carding some of it and investigating new
methods. He hopes in the end to prove
that there is some correlation between
mental and physical ability.

Winner Will Also Receive
$1,000 Scholarship
Besides the $1000 scholarship being
offered to college students by the Uni
versal Pictures corporation for short
stories adaptable to scenarios, an addi
tional $1000 will be given to the insti
tution at which the winner is a stu
dent.
In this novel way Universal offers an
other reason why all students who can
write and are interested should try. The j
money can be used in any way whatso

The winner of the contest receives pay
for his story also, the rules providing
that he shall receive not less than $500.;
The exact compensation however will be |
determined by the company. Thus the i
scholarship and purchase price of the
manuscript will amount to not less than
$1500. _Jf any other stories entered can
be used, they will be bought for not less j
than $500.
Concerning the form of the story, W.
F. G. Thacker of the school of journalism
says: “It is my opinion that this con
test will not be won By expression, but
by a clean-cut novel idea.” He believes
that a short story of the usual form is
not wanted, but that the writer should
tell his story in as few words as possible,
and in chronological order, in most cases.
The rules provide that all stories from
one college shall be sent in one packaga

which the winner is enrolled, and will
be divided into as many equal parts as
the student has years in college. The
money will then be paid in yearly in
stallments.
