ifying test. '-'
Final registration for. the ex
aminations,, which began in

mester seniors were eligible

Merit Scholarships and other,
awards are at stake in the na
tional competition, now begin
ning its fourth year. S6nie ?12
million in Merit Scholarships
have been awarded in the first
three years of the program.
Merit Scholarships are pro
vided by some 80 corporations,
foundations, professional so
cieties and individuals, as well
as by the National Merit
Scholarship Corporation itself,
which conducts the competi
tion. John M. Stalnaker, presi
dent of NMS corporation, be
lieves that the heavy registra
tion is due to the nationwide
cooperation of school authori
ties. "The entire nation is -indebted
to the thousands of
high school principals and
teachers who are using the
Merit Program to stimulate
their able students to an in-

terest in further
Stalnaker said.
The National Merit Scholar
ship qualifying test, used as
the first screen in the competi
tion, is a three-hour measure
of educational growth and
aptitude. Emphasis is on broad
intellectual skills, and on un
derstanding and ability to use
what has been learned, rather
than on sheer knowledge of
facts.
A group of 10,000 students,
composed of the highest
scorers in each state, will ad
vance to the semifinals next
fall. Semifinalists will then
take a second examination.
Those who repeat their high
performance on the second ex
amination will become final
ists in the program and will
indicate their choice of college
and course of study. Further
evaluation of their grades, cit
izenship, and extra-curricular
achievements will follow, and
the winners will be announced
in the spring of 1959.
Test results for all students
taking the NMSQT will be re
ported to schools about Aug.
15 and will be available in
time for use by seniors and
their class advisors. The
scores may also be used in
many high schools to help stu
dents make decisions about
college and the most appropri
ate courses in which to major,
Many students throughout
the country who do notX'
pect to win have registered for
the test in order to learn more
about their individual weak
nesses and strengths. Five in
dividual scores will- be re
ported: knowledge of vocabu
lary, ability in, mathematics
and quantitative thinking,
ability to read -and compre
hend the social and natural
sciences, and usage of English.
Repeats Caution
Stalnaker has repeatedly
cautioned that there are many
reasons why test results and J
lists of winners cannot be
used to evaluate the quality
of the job that a school is
doing. The distribution of "the
population' throughout the
state, the size of the school,
and native intelligence of its
top students, the percentage of
students taking the test, the
nature of the community
where the school is located,
the purpose of the school, and
many other factors haying
nothing, to do with the total
effectiveness of the school can
influence its number of.final
ists. .
education,", The test results will, how
ever, enable students as indi
viduals, to compare their
scores with other students
across the nation.
The test hasbeen construct
ed by Science Research Asso
ciates of Chicago, and also
will be scored and reported by
that testing agency. (
Each Merit Scholarship car
ries a stipend based on the
need of each individual win
ner, and is renewable annu
ally without further competi
tive examination. The average
stipend in past years has been
S650 per year. The minimum
award in the 1958-59 program
will be $100 a year and a
maximum will - be ?1,500 a
year.
Sent to Colleges
The names of all program
finalists will be sent to col
leges and universities and
other scholarship organiza
tions throughout the country;
In this way many non-winning
finalists are helped in winning
scholarships awarded directly
by colleges and other organiza
tions. About 1,000 Merit Scholars,
winners of the 1957-58 compe
tition, were named on May.l,
1958. They are winners in the
third Merit Program which be
gan last October.
The National Merit Scholar
ship Corporation directs the
annual competition. It was
founded in 1955, on grants of
$20 million by the Ford Foun
dation and $500 thousand by
the Carnegie Corporation of
New York. ,
Collecting of Tax
From Man in Space
Presents Problem
Washington HP The
House Space committee
wondered whether the goy
rnment can collect taxes
from a man in a satellite.
Loftus Becker, Stale De
partment legal adviser, said
he believed the government
could tax a space-man if he
were within an area of
space claimed by the Unit
ed States.
"Otherwise, it seems it
would depend on whether
you have the right to tax a
citizen outside U.S. terri
tory," he said.
Chief committee counsel
George J. Feldman said
"Now the question is, how
do you collect it?"
