Matters of Moment
We have not received a great deal of correspondence about the proposed general knowledge test. Two correspondents are enthusiastic, one very unenthusiastic, and the rest silent. The matter will be dropped unless there is a definite demand for such a feature. Those correspondents who have written with suggestions will please forgive us for suggesting that the type of question they sent was not very Original, and we believe originality is essential in a feature which these days is common to most publications, Perhaps some . schoolteacher reader will send us a suggestion for intelligence tests, as opposed to knowledge tests. Most adults, we know, fail the test for @ mental age around 12 or 13, and something of this sort might shock some people out of their common mental lethargy. Puzzlers, of course, may consider themselves superior people already.
