MENTAL TESTS ARE
APPUED TO LONDON
SCHOOL CHILDREN
LONDON. May 11.—(By Associated
Press.")—(Strange tests that some
critics say might puzzle much older
children are being used at various
London iCount.y Council schools ta
find out the mental development cl
Juvenile pupils. .
At eight the child is supposed to
give an intelligent amswer to such
a question as:
"What are you to do if you break
something that ’belongs to somebody
else?”
Satisfactory answers included:
"Pay lor it,” "Own up.” “Buy an
other," ‘tSay 1 was sorry."
Unsatisfactory answers included
such as: "1 -should crjC’ “Hide it,"
"Mend it.” The last answer was
considered useful as giving some In
dication as to the pupil's moral dia
position. %
The solving of circumstantial pr »b
ems Is one of the tasks allotted to
indicate normal development of chil
iron of 13. One of the riddles *vi&
“My next door neighbor has ' bad
vhree visitors: first, a doctor cal.ed.
then a lawyer, and then a' clergyman.
What do ycu think has been happen
ing there?” •
OnA youngster thought that "the
awyer was employed to get the man
to marry the girl" while other rer-M-js
aot adjudged as satisfactory artsfc
buted the circumstances various;-/ to
'\A murder." “A marriage” and 'A
