APPRENTICE TOOLMAKERS AND MACHINISTS I2g consequently the difficulty of discovering the value of a certain group of tests. Some apprentice shops take it upon themselves to give a test to those who wish to enter. The test usually is one M the essentials of arithmetic. Naturally, a prospective toolmaker should be able to perform certain mathematical derations before he is allowed to enter the course, and the best way in which to determine this is by an actual Mathematical test. (See Appendix, test number 47.) _ The results of this experiment indicate a very decided S1 gnificance in the tests applied. One of the most im portant facts about these tests is that they have nothing whatsoever to do with the acquired ability or education of an individual in the work of toolmaking. The foreman- In s true tor of the first shop, for instance, an expert tool- Maker, was excelled in the tests by more than a third his men including the sixteen-year-old boy. The pur pose of these particular tests, as distinguished from the trade tests which will be described later, is to detect a person’s innate ability, the faculty for thinking in ways Which will be of value when applied to the work of a Machinist or toolmaker. As has been stated at the ° u tset, they are intended to serve as a forecast of what an a Pprentice will be able to do after he has been trained for a c °nsiderable length of time.
