You are to look at each and decide which of the lettered parts have errors in grammar, punctuation or spelling. When you have decided which parts are wrong, fill in the space under those letters after that item number on the separate Answer Sheet. EXAMPLE Ain't we / going to the / office / next week / at all. A B C D E The space under A has been filled in because "ain't" is wrong; the space under E has been blackened because "at all" should be followed by a question mark. There is nothing wrong in Parts B, C and D, so the spaces under those letters have been left blank. Some of the sentences are entirely correct. Others may have from one to five parts wrong. For each part of each sentence which you think is wrong, blacken the space under that letter on the separate Answer Sheet.

Each row is a problem. You are to mark your answers on a separate Answer Sheet as shown in the samples below. Each row consi is of four figures called Problem Figures and five called Answer Figures. The four Problem Figures make a series. You are to find out which one of the Answer Figures would be the next, or the fifth oi4e in the series. EXAMPLE X PROBLEM FIGURES ANSWER FIGURES I Note that the lines in the Problem Figures are falling down. In the first square the line stands straight up, and as you go from square to square the line falls more and more to the right. In the fifth square the lin would be lying flat. So the answer is D, which is indicated on your Answer Sheet by filling in the little space below D, like this EXAMPLE Y Study the position of the black dot. Note that it keeps moving around the square clockwise: upper left corner, upper tight corner, lower right corner, lower left corner. In what position will it be seen next? It will come! back to the upper left corner. Therefore, B is the answer, and you would mark your Remember-'ou are to select the one figure from among the Answer Figures which belongs next in the series.

Look at Example on this page to see just what to do. Example X shows a picture of two men carrying a machine part on a board and asks, "Which man has the heavier load? If equal, nark C." Man "B" has the heavier load because the weight is closer to him than to main "A," so on the separate Answer Sheet you would fill in the space under B, like this A 8 Now look t Example Y. The question asks, "Which weighs more? If equal, mark C." As the scale is perfectly balanced, "A" and "B" must weigh the same, so you would blac -en the space under C on your separate Answer Sheet, like this +" Which man has the heavier load? (If equal, mark C.) Y Which weighs more? (If equal, mark C.) On the following pages there are more pictures and questions. Read each question carefully, look at the picture, and mark your answer on the separate Answer Sheet. Do not for~et that there is a third choice for every question.

For each pattern, five figures are shown. You are to decide which of these figures can be made from the pattern shown. The pattern always shows the outside of the figure. Here is an example: Which of these fi e figures - A, B, C, D, E - can be made from the pattern in Example X? A and B certainly cannot b, made; they are not the right shape. C and D are correct both in shape and size. You cannot make E from this pattern. - In the test there will always be a row of five figures for each pattern. - In every; row there is at least one correct figure. - Usually more than one is correct. In fact, in some cases, all five may be correct. Now look at the pattern for Example Y and the five choices for it. Note that when the pattern is folded, the figure must have two gray surfaces. One of these is a large surface which could be either the top or bottom of a box. the other is a small surface which would be one end of the box. Approved: For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-01826RO01000010002-2 EXAMA EP. ved For R ase 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-0126R001000010002-2 A B C D E Notice - all the "boxes" made from this pattern are correct in shape, but the sides which you see are different. Some of these figures can be made from this pattern while others cannot. Let us look at them. - Figure A is correct. If the large gray surface is shown as the top, then the end surface of gray can be shown facing towards you. - Figure B is wrong. The long, narrow side is not gray in the pattern. - Figure C is correct. The two gray surfaces can both be hidden by placing the large gray surface at the bottom and the gray end to the back. - Figure D is wrong. The gray end is all right, but there is no long gray side in the pattern. - Figure E is correct. One can show the box so that the large gray surface is at the bottom (as it was in C), but with the gray end showing at the front. So, you see, there are three figures (A, C and E) which can be made from the pattern in Example Y, and two figures (B and D) which cannot be made from this pattern. Remember that the surface you see in the pattern must always be the OUTSIDE surface of the completed figure. Now let's see how we mark our answers on the separate Answer Sheet. A sample is shown here. For Example X we found that only figures C and D could be made, so the spaces under C and D opposite X have been blackened. For X Example Y, A is a correct figure, C is correct, and E is correct, so opposite Y we have blackened in the spaces under A, C and E. Y In taking the test: - Study each pattern. - Decide which of the figures can be made from the pattern. - Show your choices on the Answer Sheet by blackening in the little space under the letter which is the same as that of the figure you have chosen in the booklet. - If you decide a certain figure cannot be made from the Pattern, make no mark on the Answer Do Not Write Anything in This Booklet Use Separate Answer Sheet You Will Be Told When to Begin Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-01826R001000010002-2 Approved Approved' For Release 1999/09/OJ&-dECIA-RDP80-01826 R001000010002-2 For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-018201000010002-2 10 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : CfA5RDP80-01826R001000010002-2 9/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-018261000010002-2 15 Approved; For Release 1999/09/O8E CIA-RDP80-01826RO01000010002-2 - f~~ 20 Approved For Release 1999/09/08 :P-RDP80-01826 R001000010002-2 Approved' For Release T999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-018261000010002-2 22 A B C D E Approved.

With reference to the fishing industry, Mr. Hoover com- mented when he was Secretary of Commerce, "Blindly, without regard to the stability of the industry in our generation, without sense of responsibility to future generations, we are recklessly destroying our littoral fisheries--that is, the species of sea-food in our bays and adjacent to our coast, at a rate which promises the end in a generation unless we accomplish further reform." (How can we prove that we are superior to the savage?) In the northern part of North America the fisheries are based on a rich combination of rivers, bays, and shal- low off-shore banks. Of special importance are the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and the smaller banks of Labrador, New England, and New Jersey. Within a dozen years after Columbus had returned to Spain from his first voyage, the Newfoundland banks were known to the fishermen of the French provinces of Normandy and Brittany. Without ques- tion, the knowledge of these fishing banks made a greater sensation in Europe than the mere fact of the discovery of the new continent. At the time of the discovery, Europe was poorer than now, and a new food supply was important. Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-01826R001000010002-2 Approved For Rd Vase 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-01M6R001000010002-2 The fishing industry in that day was relatively more important than it is in the twentieth century. Fish was an essential food because practically the whole of Europe was Catholic, and even those who could afford meat observed many fast days upon which fish must be eaten in its place. For a century before the French made settlements in the St. Lawrence valley, scores of vessels sailed back and forth from France to these Newfoundland banks each year. Before the First World War the Nova Scotia fishing industry had a catch of $10,000,000 per year, which equalled that of Massachusetts, the leading state of the United States. The total Canadian catch ($35,000,000 in 1921) was nearly double that of New England. Nova Scotia with her many good harbors partook somewhat of the char- acter of Newfoundland but, though she caught nearly one- third of the fish of Canada, the warmer climate of this province enabled her people to engage, to a considerable extent, in ~.gr.iqulture. They also exported sheep, cattle, and horses across the straits to the people of Newfound- land. Fishermen do not confine their catch to one type of fish. For example, cod fishermen also catch halibut and hake. The American catch of these fish is actually equal in value to the catch of cod. The cod thrives in cold waters and is, therefore, taken in greater quantity by Canadians than by New Englanders, and the people of New- foundland and Labrador catch more codfish than all the Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-01826R001000010002-2 Approved For Relea 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-0182mb01000010002-2 rest of the people of America. Dried cod makes up nearly two-thirds of the exports of this northern dependency of Great Britain. Fish are like many of the other resources upon which our mechanical civilization depends. They are limited in numbers and rapidly declining. The difference lies in the fact that fish offer hope of restoration since their cycle is as follows: natural plenty, destruction by man, study of the situation, restoration by the application of science, and the control of this generation in the interest of the future. The latter two stages, unfortunately, require intelligence and the concept of racial welfare; the first is but slightly visible in larger human affairs, and the second is almost completely invisible at present. One of the greatest resources which is not used exten- sively as yet is the sea. It covers three-fourths of the world's surface. It is the habitat of countless millions of minute plant organisms which are eaten by many small animals; these in turn are eaten by each other and by the smaller fish, and they in turn by the larger fish, and the whole pyramid of marine animal life, like that of land ani- mals, is dependent upon vegetation for its existence. There are two habits of fish which enable us to catch near the land those species that may have passed most of their lives hundreds of miles away at sea, and it is upon these habits that the world's fishing industry depends. The first habit is that of spawning. Many species habitually lay their eggs only in rivers or in the shallow waters near Approved For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-01826R001000010002-2 Approved For ReF ise 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-018'4$R001000010002-2 the shore. The second habit is the congregation of fish at the ocean bottoms, in shallow waters, for feeding. These waters are commonly known as "banks." The greatest fishing regions are located where these banks occur in large numbers. The term "fishery" refers to the catching of practically any animal that is taken from the water. This includes oysters, lobsters, whales, and even seals, which are often taken on shore.

Notice how the question is answered : words ? below tells what an apple is? Which floone of wer, the fi2 tre , 3 vegetable, 4 fruit, 5 animal .......................

(Reading) "The invention and use of power machinery and the industriali- zation it entailed, by enabling the fraction of the population that is engaged in agriculture to support large city populations, have vastly raised the standard,of living of the community as a whole and have boon both the cause and the effect of the development of modern food industries." According to the quotation, the industrialization resulting from the use of power machinery (A) helped to improve general living conditions (B) had its greatest effect in the food industries (C) brought a rapid increase in urban population (D) enabled all employees to achieve a greater output (E) caused a reduction in the number of agricultural workers. 83, (Reading) "If, from the consideration of a criminal tax case in the light of all recommendations and a hearing, the guilt of the taxpayer is evident and there is a reasonable probability of conviction, the case is regarded as not being a comprbmisable one and no compromise settlement is made that involves simply the payment of money, regardless of the amount." The quotation indicates that in certain criminal tax cases (A) hearings are not always held (B) no financial penalties are levied (C) settlement may be made out of court (D) probable guilt is necessary for a compromise settlement (E,,,) convictions are easy to obtain.

I-A BATTERY I : DISCRIMINATION IN REASONING -FORM A TEST 1. GENERALIZATIONS DIRECTIONS. In this test you will find statements about the behavior or characteristics of certain groups of per- sons at the present time. Each statement can begin with All, Most, Few, or No, thus: All men have white hair. Most men have white hair. Few men have white hair. No men have white hair. Sample statements 1 2 3 4 5 (a) All Most DK Few No - men have white hair. 0 7 8 9 1Q (b) All Most DK Few No - doctors are college graduates. 11 12 13 14 15 (c) All Most DK Few No - persons will catch cold next year. 16 17 18 19 20 (d) All Most DK Few No - grown persons were formerly children. 21 22 23 24 25 (e) All Most DK Few No - college presidents are ten years old. You are to decide, if you can, which form of the state- ment is most nearly correct. There will be five possible answers to each statement: All, Most, "Don't know," Few, or No. The statements will appear in the test in the following form : All means every one without exception. (All persons must die sometime,) Most means definitely more than half but not all. (Most mothers are fond of their children.) DK stands for Don't Know. It means you don't know whether the number is more or less than half. Few means definitely less than half, but some. (,Few person's commit suicide.) No means not any whatsoever. (No living person is 500 years old.) Suppose that in Sample (a) you think that, to be true, the statement should be. Few men (less than half) have white hair. In Sample (a) Few is number 4; so you would make a heavy mark in the space under 4 on the Answer Sheet, as shown in the sample answers. Suppose that in Sample (b) you think that the state- ment should be: Most doctors are college graduates. In Sample (b) Most is number 7; so for Statement (b) you would make a heavy mark in the space under 7 on the Answer Sheet, as shown in the sample answers. Suppose that in Sample (c) you do not know whether more or less than half the persons in the world will catch cold next year. In such a case you are to choose the answer DK. In Sample (c) DK is number 13; so you would make a heavy mark in the space under 13 on the Answer Sheet, as shown in the sample answers. Samples (d) and (e) show how to answer if you believe that "All grown persons were formerly children" and "-No college presidents are ten years old." That is the way you are to answer the questions in this test. There is no time limit, but keep steadily at work until you finish. Be sure not to skip any statements. ANSWER EVERY ONE as best you can. Do not write your name or make any marks anywhere in this booklet. Your name goes on the Answer Sheet only, as explained by the examiner, and all your marks go on the Answer Sheet. In marking the Answer Sheet make your mark as long as the pair of lines, and move the pencil up and down firmly to make a heavy black line so it can be easily seen. If you change your mind, erase the first mark thoroughly. Do not leave any stray marks on the Answer Sheet. Patent No. 1,586,628 Published by World Book.

If we know that it is raining, we decide that the ground is wet. The belief that the ground is wet is called an inference or a conclusion which we draw from the fact that it is-raining. From a given statement or given set of facts one person may infer one thing and another person may infer some- thing else. Sometimes people draw wrong inferences or conclusions from given statements of facts. In this test you will find various statements of facts. After each statement of fact you will find five possible inferences - that is, inferences which some persons might make from the stated fact. In each of the exercises below you are to accept the statement of fact as true - assume it to be true even if you do not personally believe it to be true. Then examine each inference and make a decision as to its truth or falsity in the light of the given statement. You are to be concerned not with the truth of the state- ment of fact but only with the truth of the inference to be drawn from it. It is an error in thinking to jump at con- clusions without sufficient evidence; but it is also an error to be over-cautious and fail to recognize a conclusion that may properly be drawn from given facts. At the lef t of each inference you will find the letters T L PT, ID, PF, and F. The meaning of these letters is as follows: Sample statement and inferences 1. Five thousand first-year high school students recently attended a week-end conference at which questions of race relations and of possible attitudes toward war were discussed, these being the problems the students felt to be the most vital today. (a) As a group, the students who attended this conference had a greater interest in humanitarian or broad social problems than most first-year high 1 2 3 4 5 school students have ........................ . . . . . .

(e) The question of attitudes toward war is consid- ered by many high school students to be important 2211 22 I 23 24 F 25 enough to be discussed ........................ . T means that you think the inference is definitely a true one, that it properly follows from the statement of fact given in the exercise. PT means that you think the inference is probably true; that the facts in the statement point to the probability of the truth of the inference, but that one cannot be entirely sure that it is true on the basis of the facts given in the statement. ID means that there are insufficient data; that you cannot tell from the facts given whether the inference is likely to be true orfalSe. PF means that, in the light, of the facts given in the statement, you think the inference is probably false; that the chances are that it is false, but one cannot be entirely sure that it is false. F means that you think the inference is definitely a false one ; that it cannot possibly be drawn or inferred from the statement of fact as given in the exercise and in some manner contradicts the stated fact. Sometimes, in deciding whether a given inference is probably true or probably false, you will have to use certain common knowledge or information which prac- tically every person knows who has ordinary sense. This will be illustrated in the exafnple which follows : In the above sample, inference (a) is probably true (PT) because (as is common knowledge) most first-year high school students are not likely to be so seriously concerned with such broad social problems. Inference (b) is probably false (PV) because children between 10 and 11 years of age are not usually so inter- ested in social problems that 5000 of them would attend such a conference ; furthermore, there are extremely few high school students between 10 and 11 years of age. There is just no evidence for inference (c) ; there are .-,gx,.,;- :1n.tn (ID .for making a judgment in the matter. Inference (d) is definitely false (F) because it contra dicts the given statement of fact. Inference (e) is the only one among those offered which necessarily follows from the given facts ; it is therefore true (T). In the exercises which follow, more than one of the inferences from a given statement may be true, or false; or probably true, or probably false, or have insufficient data to warrant a judgment. That is, you are to con- sider each inference by itself and disregard your answers to other inferences. pproved For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-IDP80-01826 R001000010002-2 Approved, For Relea g 99/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-0182nR 010000100022n-G : I-A ES 2.

At the precise moment that Secretary Hull received the Japanese envoys, word was being received at the White House that Japan's air force and submarines had suddenly and without warning attacked Hawaii, killing many Americans and causing serious damage to United States warships and airplanes stationed there.

The nearest bases from which Japanese naval and air forces could have operated were in certain islands in the Pacific which are more than 2200 miles from Hawaii. X. On August 23, 1939, in the midst of negotiating a possible military alliance with England and France, Soviet Russia unexpectedly announced a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. The pact provided that Ger- many and Russia would "refrain from every act of force, every aggressive action, and every attack against one another" ; that "if either should become the object of warlike acts by a third power, the other party will in no 26 27 28 29 30 T PT ID PF F 31 32 33 34 35 T PT ID PF F 36 37 38 39 40 T PT ID PF F 41 42 43 44 45 T PT ID PF F 46 47 48 49 50 T PT ID PF F way support this thirde power."

In deciding important questions it is nec- essary to distinguish between arguments that are strong and important and those that are weak and unimportant. This test consists of a series of questions. Under each question are four statements or arguments which might be put forth in support of either side of the ques- tion. Some of these arguments, if regarded as true, would be strong and important arguments in support of or in opposition to the question at issue. Others, even though regarded as true, would nevertheless be weak and relatively unimportant. Read each argument carefully, and for the purposes of this test regard the argument as true; then decide whether you would call it strong or weak. You are to indicate your decision as shown below, Sample question and arguments 1. Is it desirable for all young men to go to college? 1 2 (a) Yes; if they go to college they will learn the school yells............ Strong Weak 3 4 (b) No; some college men are conceited .............................Strong Weak (c) Yes; college s likely to increase their earning powers and culturally 5 6 enrich their lives ...............................................Strong Weak (d) No; many young men cannot profit from college work and might better 7 8 spend those years in more definite vocational training ............... Strong Weak Argument (a) is a rather unimportant and silly reason for spending four years at college; hence it is marked Weak. Argument (b) does not state that all college men are conceited, or that some A! A on-college men, are not also con- ceited or that everyone who goes to college will become conceited. The reason as stated is practically meaning- less as an argument against going to college; hence it also is marked Weak. Argument (c), if taken to be true, is a strong argu- ment for the statement J hence it is marked Strong. Argument (d), if taken to be true, is a strong argu- ment against the statement; hence it is marked Strong. Judge each of the arguments with care. Assume that each argument is true. Decide whether you think the ,Sample answers 1 z (a) a 4 (c) I 7 8? (d)I'. argument is a strong, important argument with reference to deciding the question at issue, and if you think it is, you are to mark it Strong; if, however, you think the argument is weak and unimportant or unrelated to the question at issue, you are to mark it Weak. Try to arrive at a judgment for every argument, but if you feel that you cannot determine whether a given argu- ment is Strong or Weak, then do not guess, for in this test there is an extra score penalty for answers that are marked incorrectly. Judge each argument separately. In connection with some of the questions you may decide that all the argu- ments given are Strong or that all the arguments are Weak. Be sure to judge each argument on its own merit without regard for how you have judged any of the other arguments with reference to the given question. PART A I.

Yes ; labor unions are the only form of organization which will adequately 27 28 protect the interests and rights of the workers .................................. Strong Weak 15.

Take this answer sheet now; write your name and the other information called for in the blanks at the top of the page ; then finish reading these directions. This test is intended to measure your ability to write correctly and effectively. The test contains two parts. Part I is a spelling test of 25 exercises. Each exercise consists of four words, one of which may be misspelled. On the answer sheet (Part I), you will find 25 rows of boxes numbered to correspond to these 25 exercises. Each row contains five boxes. To mark an exercise, decide first which word, if ay, is incor- rectly spelled. Then find the corresponding row of boxes on the answer sheet, and mark a in one of these boxes as follows: If the first word is misspelled, mark the first box in the row; if the second word is mis- spelled, mark the second box; if the third word is wrong, mark the third box; if the fourth word, mark the fourth box; and if none of the words is wrong, mark the last box in the row. Quite a few of the exercises actually contain no misspelled words; that is, the fifth response is often the correct response. Part II of the test consists of four "themes" such as might have been written by a college freshman, and which contain many of the errors frequently found in such themes. You are to indicate, in a manner which is explained in the special directions for Part 11, what corrections or changes should be made in the themes to improve their quality. Answer the exercises in the order in which they are given, but do not spend too much time on difficult exercises. Make the best choice you can, and go on to the next exercise. Make certain each time that your mark is placed in the right box in the right row. If you change your mind, erase your first mark thoroughly. One reason for using a separate answer sheet is to make it possible to use this test booklet over again. Accordingly, you should be very careful to ZJAKE-NO MARKS ON ANY PAGE OF THIS BOOKLET! Do not fold or tear the pages; keep the booklet in as good condition as you can.

Read this version once through carefully to get a clear notion of what the theme is about, but without yet trying to decide upon any corrections. Then read the directions immediately following the theme. Don't spend too much time on this first reading. Last summer I undertook to edit a volume of reports authored by committees of teachers. If there is anything worse than a report vtrritten by a teacher, they are reports written by a committee of teachers. They have the knack of saying what better could be said in four, in forty words. One day I told m- troubles to the editor of a scientific journal. "I know what you are up against," he said, "you may expect that scientific writing utilizes. a mini- mum of verbiage-and so it does, at its best-but the average manuscript the receive can be cut by a third or half without sufferin? anything but improvement. "The abstracts we publish are especially trying. They are limited to 225 words, but most contributors can not say what they have to say in less than 800 words. In most of them, especially the younger men, it is a simple matter to cut the manuscript to the required length. But one day I rec~ived an abstract from an elderly scientist who wrote with New England economy. It turned out to have 226 words. I thought I had made a mistake, so I counted again, but no, Professor Chadwick had made the mistake; there were at least 226 words. Of course, the extra word was of no consequence, and I would have let it go, except it was a challenge to me. I wondered whether I could find one word which could be taken out without spoiling it, so that I could kid Professor Chadwick about it. "Well, do you know, I spent pretty near two days on that manuscript without finding a single word that could be left out without injury when I came across an "and" in the first paragraph that could be substituted byA semicolon without injuring neither sense nor style. "I struck it out and was just planning what I would say to Professor Chadwick when this telegram arrived: 'Horrified to find my abstract has 226 words. Kindly strike out "and" in first paragraph.' Directions (continued) The theme printed above has been re-printed in a narrow column on the left-hand side of the following pages, with certain portions or situations underlined and numbered. On the right-hand side of each page, several ways are sug- gested of writing each underlined situation. Before reading the rest of these directions, glance briefly at the numbered situations and answers on the opposite page; then finish reading these directions. The situations ar'e numbered consecutively all the way through the four themes. On the answer sheet (Part II), you will find as mane rows of boxes as there are numbered situations in the themes. The number of each row corre- sponds to the number of an underlined situation; the boxes correspond to the suggested "answers" for that situation: the first box in the row corresponds to the first answer, the second box to the second answer, etc. For each numbered situation you are to decide which answer is best, and to mark an X ,in the corresponding box the answer sheet. ' he first (sample) situation (S-1) has been marked correctly on the answer sheet; you are, to mai.. the others in a simil~r fashion. You will note that sometimes the best answer is the one already used in the theme. Sometimes the them would be improved if the underlined portion were left out entirely, without substituting anything for it; in that case you are to mark the box corresponding to the response "OMIT." The suggestions you check should be consistent with one another and with the meaning, organization, and style of the theme as a whole[. Sometimes, your choice of the best answer for a situation will depend upon what you intend to do about the situations immediately following it. Hence, it will be well for you, before marking each situation, to look ahead at two or throe situations following it, in order to see how they affect the situation you are marking. Correct, formal English is required; do not attempt to employ colloquial English or an unusual style. Note that in many exercises two or more of the responses are grammatically correct, but one is definitely more effective than the others. Always consider all responses before deciding. 4 Approved; For Release 1999/09/08 : CIA-RDP80-01826R001000010002-2 Approved For Rel,aa6e 199?/ft1o s: i i' &80-01MR0010000100O2-2 Make sure each time that your mark is placed in the row numbered the same as the situation.

Later they will regret it. Since no one among all the people they meet are willing to tuck them obligingly in at night, they may be homesick. They stay out too late at night. They can't hardly realize that they are on their own, irregardless of how many presents they get from home, or how many photos of relations and boy-friends and girl-friends they have in their rooms. Once they settle down to work, they will snap out of their disinterested state. Then they will feel mighty relieved as if a burden had been lifted. They will know that, although they are not entirely independent from their families, that they have new freedom of thought and action, they will form their own views. Especially will they feel liberated when they set a task for themselves' which manifests those kind of ideals which are worth fighting for, and when, like Oliver Wendell Holmes says, they have begun "to dig by the divining rod for springs which they may never reach." They will know then how they only have to look about them for problems, which they are capable of solving. Moreover, the problems both to be solved and those that reach no solution gives them a new sense of freedom. In turn, their new free- dom will lead them into different attitudes than their earlier ones as related to wasting time. At first athletics were their chief interest. They may regret their wasted time, or they may see it as part of the enrichment inherent to a literal education. Mark the exercises as in Theme I.
