Testing and Guiding
In Education
The several authoritative studies
of American schools, always com¬
pared with Russian or other Old
World schools, prompted by the ad¬
vent of sputnik, almost uniformly
urge that America improve and ex¬
tend its techinques of progressive
testing and guidance rather than
separate irrevocably the presum¬
ably gifted from the ungifted at a
round age eleven.
What does that testing mean and
how reliable is it?
Testing how much information a
youngster has learned and retains,
how much skill he has acquired
and can apply—that testing is pret¬
ty well understood. But testing how
well a youngster is likely to learn
and comprehend new knowledge,
master new skills—and what kind of
knowledge, what kind of skills—and
what kind of knowledge, what kind
of skills—that is something else a
And It is such test
ing that is most important to young
people starting out.
This second kind of testing is be
coming more reliable year by
It is at least revealing. Combined
with capable guidance, it can deter
potentially good engineers from try
ing to become musicians, promising
iawyers from tackling nuclear phy
sics, “bom" salesmen from essay
ng to become research scholars,
It is wise to look upon such testing
as helpful. It is not wise to look up
on it as conclusive of success or
failure. For some of these predic
tive tests rest upon the theory that
there is a fixed inborn capacity to
learn as distinct from what is
ed
But educators are less sure than
they once were that they can test
such inborn capacities wholly apart
—less sure that any such capacities
cannot be enlarged by education.
And “suedess" in so many areas de
pends so very largely on that com¬
plex of qualities we lump into
"character” that in this respect, at
least, the whole may be greater
than the sum of its parts.

Will “Health Room”

A late 1958 trade journal carries
the exciting information that the
bathroom has been renamed the
"health room."
The "health room,” say the de¬
signers, will have these features;
“Variable control health vibrator,
power-operated towel cabinet, re¬
frigerated health drink dispensers,
three-dimensional television, elec¬
tronic memory scale and low fre¬
quency vibrating chair.”
And, one assumes, hot and cold

The old bathroom under a new

Keep Clothes
On Hollywood '■C-SSBHI
Acording to Hollywood reporters,
the industry is about to disrobe a
gain, for a new go at female nudity
in films—strictly for "overseas con¬
sumption" ... it is said. The influ¬
ence of an unclad Brigitte Bardot,
they explain, as creating a foreign
competition that the American mov¬
ie business just can’t stand, and
driving domestic studios out of that
market. One gathers that every
time some little floogie trips across
the drive-in or house screen over¬
seas in the all-together, American
motion picture stocks drop off by
a point.
Before Hollywood goes all out in
Operation Catch-up, it wouldn't be
amiss for the moguls to consult the
fact that what happens to morals
isn’t secondary to what happens to
their cash register.
One isn’t being a prude to suggest
that the Movie Capital already has
gone about as far as it can go in
the business of unveiling without
crossing the thin line between cas¬
ual exposure and outright pornogra
phy.
Nor should it be necessary to re
mind that it is just such uninhibited
intrusions on good taste and public
conscience that spurred organiza
tion of the Legion of Decency, cre
ation the Hays Office to save the
industry from its own folly, and
agencies of censorship,
While the reported experiment
ostensibly is for overseas consump
tion, unquestionably there are those
who would toy with the idea of "gra
dualism’’ addressed to the domestic
market.
Decency forbids, and the best ad
vice entertainment colleagues could
give them—to say nothing of au
thorities—is to put the clothes back
on these women and cultivate other
talents than that of stripping.
