Jone) oh ata WHERE YOU RIGHT? i Can You Answer These Questions . Controversy is raging among 'the au ties ble for ed- ucating British children. The in- of the test which forms part 11-plus examination that sends a child on the road to , further education is under fire, because many thousands of child- ren are beingcoached to pass this test, and many thousands are not, The jntellize tests now held. in all British primary schools aim at deciding what 'the child's po- tentialities are for further educa- - tlon.. Will he protit by an acad- emic of a. practical type of teaching? Does he show the ap- titude for grammar school educa- tion, or would he be better in a technical college of .a * modern secondary school? It all depends on the intelli- gence test, Children can do brilliantly in arithmetic and Eng- lish, yet fail when confronted with this mysterious and almost * secret yardstick. Because it is unlike anything they normally have at school, sensitive and anxious children are shocked into failure. These 1.Q. tests are based on the results of scientific and psy- chological research, which have proved that the growth of intel- ligence is completed early in life, -How It's Done . The American idea of the "Intelligence Quot- ient," or 1.Q. The 1.Q. is calcul- ated by dividing a person's men- tal age by his actual age. The resulting fraction is multiplied by 100, to bring it to'a whole num- ber. Therefore, the 1.Q. of a 'child of seven whose mental age is seven is: 7 100 -- 4 -- = 100 7 1 Meiital age itselt is determined by the age-level of the test taken and the score obtained. One hundred is the average 1.Q. over the whole population, A boy of ten who is able to score as many in a test as the average boy of fourteen has an IQ. of 140, People who have 1.Q's of 140 and over are regard- ed by educational psychologists as "geniuses," and are rare. Only one per. cent of the population' have 1.Q.'s of over 130. Each test, is rigidly timed.

She returned his Affection, and the were married on the strepg of a selling job which promised "him "up to" $200 & week. They went to live in a House which was $6,000. =" But' although the young hus- band's commissions climbed. up, - they - didn't ascend "up to" the Glistening mark suggested b, the advertisement. And althoug the: cost of their Home might be deemed low by some standards, it didn't turn out to be "as low as" the other one sold just be- fore they got there. So the once-hopeful bride and groom soon found themselves "up" all all right -- up against it! And Winter was coming on! However, he was Smart and she was Clever. So, naturally, the turned to the advertisements * again. There they learned that it they insglated their Domicile with a certain brand of shredded mineral they would save "up to" 25 per cent of their Fuel bill; it 'they put in a certain kind of storm Windows they would save 'up to" another 25; if they installed a certain Pump in their heating system, "up to" a fifth more; and if they threw out the Furnace they had altogether and. bought another using a wholly different type of fuel they would - save, this time, "up to" 30 per cent. Furthermore, the young couple. - learned that if they changed to "Fusion" from the mere '"Fis- sion" gasoline they had been using they could drive their car for "up to" 15 per cent less.

Making Records Among Eskimos As soon as the hunting or oth- __er.work was over, I set my mar--- vellous machine working and re: corded songs, old stories, vocab- -ulary, etc., on the tape. The re- cording machine was a success from. the start. . . .

The chorus grows strong- er and the tempo quicker; a" storm of strange notes fills the skin tent, , . . We had had a musical even- ing in the skin tent, with gaiety and laughter, One Eskimo after another 'had taken the micro- phone and 'sung, and a' few of - the women had 'participated, even the reserved Kaliksuna who had sung an amusing "ptar- migan song. The children had 1, made their contribution, funny lit le verses and jingles, follow- ed by outbursts of laughter. Then I turned the tape back and let the Eskimos hear their own voices, to the delight of all. -Then I said to Paniaq: "Now call the .animals as you do out hunting." 'Paniaq took the mic- rophone and' started. He gave an animal concert so astonish- ingly true to life that we might have had all the beasts in the wildernesa about us. He called caribou, moose, mountain sheep, fox, raven, owl, 'yellow-billed loon, ptarmigan, ground squirrel, and all the resp. Last came the wolf. And the wolf's howl rang out, so perfectly true to life in its harsh dissonance that I felt a chill down' my spine. § " Suddenly he received an an- 'swer.

Millions have stared at the magnificent Venus de Milo, the most celebrated piece of sculp- ture in the world, in that great storehouse of art treasures, the Louvre, Paris. But nobody knows who she ~ was or what she was gazing at so gravely when her unknown sculptor immortalized her, No- body knows--or probably aver will know -- her age. She was named after the island, Milo, or Melos, where she was originally found in 1820. A peasant and his son were. digging there and sud- denly, as they were tugging at a tough old root, the earth col- lapsed, revealing a huge hol- low. They found a chamber with -faintly coloured walls--and ly- ing there surrounded by marble fragments was the lovely statue. They wrapped her torso in an old sack, teok it across the fields in their donkey-cart, and left her in a stable all that night. After various adventures the statue was taken to Paris, where the world went into rap- tures over the Venus de Milo's perfectly proportioned body. 3 Put Her Money in a Washing - Machine The "story ot British citizen Mrs, Clark Eloyd, who kept her ank notes in her electric washing machine for safety's sake but forgot to take them out one day when the ma- chine was operating, has had a happy ending after all. At least it's 75 per cent happy --which is something Mrs. Lloyd can be grateful for, considering she really was a little careless. Mrs. Lloyd hag just received \ back from the Bank of England, Ain new notes, 84 pounds sterling out of the original 80 pounds which were minced into minute shreds and even pulp by the washing machine. In this unusual piece of bank- ing business the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street-f by which the Bank of England is tradi- tionally known -- has humanitarian warmth which many folk were unaware of. . In fact the "old lady" rather prides "herself" on having a most ~xpert staff all ready to deal with the problems of people who put their banknotes through washing' machines or mincing machines or suchlike appliances which were -not designed to han- dle banknotes. This highly skilled department of the bank was expanded and became of high importance dur- ing World War I1 when the blitz played havoc with banknotes "and every sort of valuable docu- ment. As the fires raged in Lon- --don and other cities and high explosives blew up private bu- -reaus --and official strongrooms- alike, immense problems of de- stroyed money and securities and missing testaments were set be- fore the authorities and legal experts, writes Peter Lyne in The Christian Science Monitor. But Bank of England labora- tory workers summoned natural scientific. know-how to 'their aid and by means of chemical an- shown a- alysis and ultraviolet rays and | advanced form of technical pho- tography they managed to rec- ognize details - of notes and documents often charred and damaged beyond ordinary recog- nition. : Fe Things have been a bit quiet er lately -in- this department of the Bank of England, and so it was quite an event when along came Mrs. Lloyd's washing ma- chine savings looking rather like one of mother's cakes which had gone wrong in the early stages. As it happened Mrs, Lloyd had rather. overdone the _test of the laboratory workers' skill, They were obliged to report after the most painstaking count and scrutiny that 26 of the 80 pounds hds "dissolved" alto- gethér, So she would have to lose them. "Act of Grace" .Because the composition of British bank notes is secret, like those of other countries, In or- der to help check forgeries, the methods used by the Bank of England experts is not open to challenge. : In other words, Mrs. could not--even {if she wanted te --fight the case and employ a rival laboratory expert te get her back her dissolved 26 pounds, An official of the bank hes pointed out. "the payment le made as an act of grace, not aa' a legal obligation."
