—
SACKHOLM.—A Labor Associa-1
tion for Vocational Psychology has
been established in Berlin by the co
I operation of the heads of various
| large industries and scientific men. !
' . . . 1
The institution, adapted from Amer
ican methods, will assist employers
of labor and employes in determin- j
ing the latters’ fitness for various1
vocations.
Practical experiments in various
branches of industry have been con- J
ducted along similar lines recently
in other German cities- Hamburg,
for example , examines would-be
street railway employees by this
method, which is based mainly on
experiments by Hugo Munsterberg
and other practical psychologists in
America.
In the Hamburg tests for street
railway employees, a strip of paper
containing the letters of the alpha- I
bet, passes at a uniform speed be
fore the candidate’s eyes for 6 and
one-half minutes at the rate of
one letter every four-fifths of a !
second. When ever an “a”, a “g” !
or an “s” appears the. candidate
presses a telegraph key with the
right hand. This impulse is recorded
on a recorder registering twenty
fifth of a second.
Twelve red letters also appear on
the strip of paper, and when one of
these “danger” signals appear a
lever must be depressed with the
left hand. If this red letter be one
of the three mentioned, it must be I
registered with both hands. The
record of the two hands gives graph
ically the candidate’s powers of at
tention and quick reaction.

IN HIGH PLACE
LOXDOX—The high esteem in
which England holds the American
soldier and sailor is reflected al
most daily by the London Press. One
paper devotes a long article to
American qualities as exhibited by
Fireman M-, champion light
weight boxer of the U. S. navy. The
writer watched him in a contest with
the champion of the British grand
fleet.
‘‘One was forcibly reminded,” he
says, “how exceedingly impolite we
are on the surface—and how thor
oughly good natured. The latter
quality was responsible for the ap
plause which greeted the appearance
of the American—applause far loud
er that that accorded to our own
champion.
“It swelled to a roar as he sprang
up on the stage where the ring was
fixed. It is not the custom in the
British navy for even a popular fav
orite to acknowledge the cheers that
greet him. The correct procedure
is for him to dive quickly into his
corner where his seconds immediately
surround him and hide him from
view.
“Not so the American. He merely
did what he was accustomed to do
at home—paused, a solitary figure
in a well-worn dressing gown, and
bowed—not as a hotel manager or
a shopwalker bows, but with little
shy bows which were quite delightful
to those of us who knew something
of his battling reputation.
“The American did not win; he
fought a magnificent, clean, fight,
and was beaten on points. But it
was good to see the real pleasure
with which he congratulated the
better man.”
