Table, 197. — Rank of camps by intelligence ratings of officers. 



677 



It is clearly shown in the tables that there is considerable difference in the ratings for the 

 officers at the different camps. At Humphreys practically all the officers scored B or better, 

 while at Greenleaf only 64 per cent of them got into the upper classes. 



In the light of other data on the differences in intelligence ratings according to the different 

 branches of the service the possibility is at once evident that these figures may be repeating 

 the comparison of the branches of the service. To determine this point table 198 was prepared. 

 This table shows the percentage of officers in the various branches of the service at the different 



camps. Both the camps and the arms of the service are arranged in the rank order of the per- 

 centage of A and B ratings which the officers made in them, so that it is possible to see the 

 relationship of these two factors by an inspection of the tables. Ideally the highest percent- 

 ages should lie upon a diagonal from the upper left-hand corner of the table to the lower right- 

 hand corner. It is evident from the tables that there is some relationship. The high positions 

 of Camps Humphreys and Taylor are probably due to the fact that the officers from these 

 camps which were chosen for this study were men from the arms which make the best scores. 

 At the other end of the scale are Wheeler and Greenleaf, and the officers from these camps all 

 come from the arms which make the lowest scores. On the other hand, Jackson, with a large 

 percentage of officers from the Artillery, which stands second in rank in the arms of the service, 

 falls halfway down the list of camps ; and Cody, with no officers at all from the lowest rankino 1 

 arms, also stands low. These latter facts make it appear that there were differences in the
