INTELLIGENCE TESTS (Copyright, 1927) ■vrRS. SUSAN B. DORSEY, superintendent of the schools of a big city, and a bright woman, said the other day that: “An intelligence test does not measure intelligence but achievement. “It does not measure brain matter nor brain capacity so much as brain opportunity,” she continued. "It is a test of mental experience rather ttian mental ability.” A man may have a very keen intellect and may not have travelled very much, nor seen many things, nor read many books. Keen minds and capable, well-balanced brains are as common out in the back woods as they are in the city. The city mind merely has the advantage of having been about more. The truly educated man is not one who knows an immense number of things, but the man whose mind is trained so that he knows where to find out about all sorts of things. It is better to be expert in consulting a dictionary and encyclopedia than it is to have a capacious memory.
