LANGUAGE AND LITERACY TESTS 153 quent work of these men, thus indicating that in one way at least the form-board test was more significant than the literacy test. On the basis of these trials, and in view of the labor situation, it seemed inadvisable to use the literacy test at the time. Indeed, it was more profitable for the time being to let the illiterate workers go on as before, and to bave special clerks pay particular attention to their work tickets, in order to insure their being properly made out. spite of this temporary arrangement, however, the time is undoubtedly at hand when literacy tests must be given, and when at least an elementary knowledge of English will be required on the part of every applicant. The problem of illiteracy is a vital one and one which is °ffering serious difficulties in classifying workers. When the United States conscript army was mobilized, one of the great hindrances to its proper training and classifica tion was illiteracy. The same difficulty described here °n a small scale was experienced there on a vast scale. The only genuine solution for this difficulty is education. the meanwhile, however, it is necessary to make temporary classifications. These can be made super ficially, by means of form boards and mechanical tests 'which do not require any language ability.
