Following the plan for the last five years, the 23 tests which com
prise the examination have been grouped into five divisions, each of which indicates an ability which conditions scholastic success. These abilities are reading comprehension, linguistic ability, mathematics, following printed directions, and general Information.
Bach student taking the examina tion was sent a score sheet recently Indicating his relative ability ln the above mentioned subjects by quinule placement in the group Of some 3,000 students taking the test in the last few years. As the records are made to show tbe individual wherein he should strive for improvement, general tabulations as to the compaiative abilities of
that individual aptitudes range in general in the ration of 10 to 1 in the several subjects .
Recent investigations, particular ly the study of Dr. Lefever, show that the quintile placements indicate the level which a student ls capable of achieving in the aca demic work of the lower division. For this reason the professors are being asked to stimulate Ihe student to achieve on that or a higher level.

FORUM HEARS OF CHANGING CHINESE LIFE
Patriarchal System is Giving Way to Personal Freedom.
Portraying a changing China at once enthusiastic over the brighter possibilities of western civilization and keenly aware of it* dangers, Professor D. Willard Lyon, of tho School of philosophy, lee tured on the "Social Revolution In China,” late yesterday afternoon.

The change from the family as the basic unit of Chinese life to an emphasis upon Individual liberty has played an important part in the social revolution In China, according to Professor Lyon. Where previously the family determined the profession of Its members and controlled the economic life of the individual, demanding complete loyally to its decisions and Ideals, now the patriarchal system ls disintegrating ana the Individual, whether man or woman, ls considered capable of making his own Important choices.
.The reasons glveu by the speak er for the breakdown of the system that flourished for two thousand years and gave China its only stability, were four: Intoxication with the achievements of science; the discovery of Important secondary sources of power, namely steam, electricity, gasoline, and oil; the emergence of hugh fac-iui.es; aud finally, the stimulus afforded by recent International intercourse ln almost every field of activity.
