![Fourth test (second short-division test, four operations, No. 2). “This test is another exercise in short division, similar to the one you just had. The directions are pre- cisely the same as in that test: begin at the top of the paper, work as many problems as you can, as accurately as you can, and write only the answer on the paper. Write the answer as a whole number and a fraction, as before, and write the digits in the answer as rapidly as you get them. Since these problems are a little longer than the others, we will give you 90 seconds on this test. Do not write a digit after you hear the signal “stop.” Is your name on the paper? Ready? Go!” Fifth test (painted cube test, No. 4). “There is no ex- planation in this test other than you will find on the paper. Read very carefully the directions given there. If you finish before time is up, hold up your hand instantly and write on your paper the time that I give you. You will be given 80 seconds on this test. Is your name on the back of the paper? Ready? Go!” Siath test (the word “Material” test, No. 6). Blank sheets of paper were handed to the class, followed by this direction: “In this test I am going to pronounce and spell carefully a word. I want you to notice very carefully exactly what letters are used in this word, and the way in which they may be repeated. As soon as you get the word, please form as many new words as you can from the let- ters of the given one and write the words as rapidly as you form them on the sheet. In any one of your words use oaly the letters of the given word, and repeat in any one word only those letters which may be repeated in the given word. As rapidly as you write the words, please hide them from view, thus [illustrate]: do not under any cir- cumstances refer back to your list. If you have forgotten whether you have written a certain word, write it again](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b32846782_0064.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
