PLACEMENT TESTS MAY INCREASE
GROUP EFFICIENCY, SAYS CARVER

That the placement examinations
given to entering freshmen of the
University may increase the aver-
age group efficiency in the future
and thus be justifiedaisrthe opinion
of .Prof. Harry C. Carver of the
mathematics department. "But,"
he said, "these tests, if they are to
be utilized in the determination of
a career for the individual first-
year student, will be practically
useless."
In explanation of his belief that
placement examinations have no
value in respect to the individual
student, Professor Carver stated
that the correlation co-efficient
calculated from the results of the
individual student's work on the
placement examination and his
scholastic achievement in college as
directed by the results of the fresh-
man placement tests would have
to be ".9" before the test would be
50 per cent efficient. The correla-
tion co-efficient, explained Profes-
sor Carver, ranges from "0" to "1 ",
zero being associated with the idea
of worthlessness, and unity referr-
ing to perfection. "The majority
of persons," he said, "erroneously
interpret this statistical feature.
A co-efficient of ".6" is understood
by many to mean that the test in
question is 60 per cent efficient,
that is, 60 per. cent of perfection;
virtually, it means that the test is
only 20 per cent effective. Like-
wise co-efficients of ".8" and ".9"

indicate only 40 per cent and 50
per cent effectiveness."
Professor Carver believes that in-
tuition would be better as an index
to guide the individual student in-
to the field holding the most in the
way of success for him than the
placement test, inasmuch as vir-
tually no results have ever been
got from such tests approximating
50 per cent efficiency.
Professor Carver stated that the
University authorities under whose
control the placement examinations
are conducted should be compli-
mented, however, for the rational
manner in which they have so far
used the statistics gathered. He is
certain that those persons spon-
soring these tests know just what
they are doing, and are for the
present merely collecting data, and
will make use of the results later
only if the data have first demon-
strated their value.

-Men-
Dried or Chapped Lips
are
Unhealthy-Unsigthly
and added to that they are uncomfort-
able, for many times they stop you from
smiling or smoking.
Rarely does one see women with un-
sightly lips, the reason being that they
use a lip pomade.
Roger & Gallet now make a colorless
undetectable lip pomade put up in small
compact, two inch metal or carton con-
tainer for the real he-man who indulges
in the manly sports that take him out
of doors in the sun, riding through the
wind, or rowing beneath the burning
rays. Just big enough to do the job
and be tucked away in the smallest vest
pocket.
Come in and get three or four-one for
each suit, then you can swim, golf,
smoke, smile without worrying about
unsightly uncomfortable lips.
