means that the semester grades of
the students arc in direct propor
tion to their test scores. If there is
no agreement, the co-efficient of
correlation is 0.' The study re
vealed that correlations between
test scores and final marks here
range generally between .37 and
.74.
Even when the correlation is as
low as .45 the margin of guess
work is reduced to a useful degree,
they state, and when the correla
tion is as high as .70 the margin of
error is reduced by a signulcant
amount.
A test such as the Ohio State
examination is designed specifical
ly to predict the level of achieve
ment to be expected from stu
dents in college, state Dr. Guilford
and Cox in their bulletin to the
faculty. If such a test measures
any one thing, it is scholastic apti
tude, or the individual's specific
abilities in a large number of
courses. Test scores may there
fore be used to predict either suc
cess in many courses, or the stu
dent's average scholastic ability.

You nre siltine in the Rug of
fice waiting for it to be time for
a class to which you have no in
tention of goinff. Your feet are on
the copy desk. Your hat is
slumped down over your eyes to
shield them from the glare. You
have your coat up around your
ears so that the clatter of type
writers shall not disturb your
rest.
Suddenly the editor snaps you
out of a pleasant dream, riey
you!" he yells, not even bothering
to put a comma between the hey
and the you. "I want you to go
interview a professor!"
"A what? you inquire sleepily.
"Who, me?" '
"Yes you. Go over and see wop-
skotch, the chemistry prof."
'But I don't know anything
about chemistry," you wail.
Whafll I ask him?"
"Never mind about chemistry.
You go see Hopskotch. Get a pic
ture of what he's like. Just think
of it he's been buried over there
in Avery for 40 years. He doesn't
come out more than once a year
like the groundhog. I'll bet 95
percent of the student body has
never laid eyes on him."
Well, you find Hopskotch Is a
pretty nice old bird when you get
to know him (after 20 or 30
years) but he won't say much.
No, he won t tell you where he
was born or why, because he
thinks nobody cares and he'd be
surprised how right he is about
that. But you ve got to write
something.
The silence is positively deaf
ening. All the questions you had
thought up have vanished and,
desperately you mention some
thing about , the books on his
shelves being so big and weighty-
looking.
It is just as though you had
pressed a button on him marked
"Conversation." His frigidity van
ishes and he Is all smiles as he
leaps to his feet and begins talk
ing about the rare volumes he has
been collecting half a century.
ihen he relaxes and you find
he'll answer anything. He bores

his friends to dealH find you're 1)i
first real listener h'n had in years'.
You write as faut na you can on n
piece of crumpled notepaper, lin
ing your knee for a desk.
It's nearly tiin for the deadline
- m stutter your thanks nnd
i. out of the building.
t'i k in the office, notes are
staking out of ull your pockets
but you spend an hour trying to
get the first line written. You la
boriously decipher your hyrogly
phics and wind up with ten type
written pages of plain junk.
The editor tella v' & stinks and
you know he's right. You all but
go into hysterics trying1 to rewrite
it.
Finally, you throw your notes
away and write what you really
think of the guy. You read it over
and see it's libelous, So you toHs
that out.
It is ten minutes till the dead
line. With an exprisiioit on your pan
such as Thomas a'Becket must
have worn while t'.wy were beating
his brains out. you go into a
trance. Your typewriter sounds
like a machine gun.
You decide you nave the Pulitzer
prize right in your lap. It reads
beautifully. There are a couple of
' grammatical errors but you tell
yourself the sheer l)eauty of your
prose will lay the reader flat on
his back.
You throw it at the editor. He
reads it and bunts into tears. He
says if he print.? it, it will ruin
the paper. But the next morning
there it is, right on the front pace
(or page 1, aa we newspapermen
say).
You feel pretty good. You de
cide you are Walter Lippmann,
Webb Miller and We.'itbrook Pegler
rolled into one. Your friends tell
you they have actually read the
first two paragraphs. You wonder
if you ought to ask Professor Hop
skotch how he likod it. On second
thought, you'd bettor not.
But you make it a point always
to look busy around the office.
You're afraid the editor might
say "Hey you!" again.
