STENOGRAPHERS, TYPISTS, AND COMPTOMETRISTS 97 mdustry, with its enormous payrolls and extensive cost systems, is well aware of the importance of this particular 'tern. For this reason it is very important that comp tometrists have, in addition to their mechanical knowledge, a knowledge of fundamental arithmetic, as determined by the arithmetical test described. The test in comptometry itself must necessarily be based largely on the kind of comptometry to be done or the kind of practice which the individual has had. The work ln connection with which these experiments were con ducted involved very little division, and consequently, m °st emphasis was placed upon addition and multipli cation. Care must be taken in all cases to establish tests ^hich will not lay too much value upon the specific abil- lt Y of an individual at a specific moment. For instance, some schools, knowing the little use to which division ls put, spend very little time teaching division to their pupils. It does not follow that these pupils would not Quickly learn division if properly instructed, but unless te sts discriminate carefully, it is quite possible to reject an operator, fair in other respects, but poor for the time ^ e >ug, in division. This is a matter which must be de termined from a practical rather than an experimental standpoint. If the industry wants thoroughgoing experts f once, a complete test should be given. If the industry ' s satisfied to take operators who are not entirely expert cut who promise well, less emphasis should be placed ° n a complete and perfect comptometry test and more ° n the tests which indicate an individual’s aptitude or P°tentiality. The arithmetical test discussed is one test which serves this purpose. Another is the numerical substitution test. This test bears virtually the same re lation to the work of comptometrists which the mixed
