APTITUDE TEST Chemistry Students’ Grades Approximate Mark for Test at First of Year Equation Predicting Final Grade Are from Aptitude And Psychology Tests Possibility of successful use of a chemistry aptitude test for deter mining the mark a student can be expected to make in the course is shown in the results of the test which was given to «176 students j taking chemistry at the first of the j year, as compared with grades for, the winter term. One hundred twenty-four students taking this test, compiled at the University of Iowa, were freshmen who had taken the placement test required for; college entrance. These chemistry grades were given without any reference to either the psychological test or the chemistry aptitude test. Only daily work, quizzes, laboratory work, and the final examination were consid ered. Eeturns were given to H. R. Taylor, assistant professor of psy chology, who computed the relation of scores in the chemistry aptitude test and grades in chemistry, be tween scores in the chemistry apti tude test and the placement test, and finally two between scores in the placement test and chemistry grades. The conclusion is that it is possible to utilize the aptitude test and the psychological exami nation to predict the grades of the freshmen in chemistry. On this basis, Professor Taylor has made an equation for predict ing the chemistry grade of any freshman, through the use of the score in the aptitude test and the score on the placement test. Taking the equation and picking at random four students’ grades, Mr. Taylor predicts the grade either ascertained the correct one, or in one case decided on a mark too high by one point and in the other case too low by the same amount. This method of using tests prom ises to become increasingly valu able, says Taylor. Advice may be given a student that work in • course will be difficult, and that satisfactory lessons will take more than a reasonable amount of prep aration from him.

Ans ruther, recently added to the rent collection of the University library, is a book which has caused a great deal of comment. The New York Times gives the” following criticism of it in its Book Review: “This might have been a story of humanity on a visit to heaven, so tranquil is the atmosphere. Be cause there is no genuine emotional turmoil, because the book is so downright natural, there is oddly enough no fire, no magnetism in it. Which only serves to prove that naturalism of realism drawn to a fine hair, is often not half so en grossing as words fed with colorful imagination and tumultous pas sions.” Another reviewer says further that it “contrives to be almost un believably irritating. If the novel were simply bad, this would not be true, since bad novels may be toss ed away at once. But ‘Five in Family,’ makes a promise which is not kept.” “Five in Family” is the story of Frank Harding and his family which he brings from New Zealand to his small native village in Eng land. Here he is confronted by the problem of shielding the family from an old scandal which is re vived upon his return. After many stormy years during which his two daughters are harassed continually by the environment, he succeeds in launching them and his son on careers of their own.

HORSEBACK CLASSES POPULAR WITH GIRLS Beginners Too Confident Says Riding Master “There are persons who can ride a saddle, and others who can ride a horse,” says Roy B. Boyd, in structor of beginners in horseback riding at Bang’s Riding Academy. “There are a great many people who think they can ride, but to be a real rider, one must be perfectly at home on a horse, and always ride in rhythm with it at any gait.” It is necessary to use a different system with almost every girl who takes riding, according to Mr. Boyd. It is impossible to judge their ability by their build or height. In fact, some of the best riders are very small. If one feels he must learn to ride immediately, his progress will probably be quite slow. Girls show more interest in rid ing than boys, Boyd declares, and as a result they are usually more adept. There are two horses in the academy that no boy can get along with, but girls handle them with ease. “The old theory about a horse knowing when his rider is scared is purely fictional,” says Mr. Boyd. “The horse doesn’t know that you are scared, but you yourself do, and as a consequence you do the wrong thing.” There are 42 students taking horseback riding this term. In the spring and fall terms the number increases to 80 or 90. Two-thirds of the riders this term are sopho mores. In the spring, four girls; are cho sen from each class to represent riding at field day. They are judged on saddling and unsaddling, riding in a walk, posting, a trot and gal loping. Points are given for each one of these, according to the way they hold the reins, and to their general posture.
