OF THE INTELLIGENCE OF YOUNG CHILDREN 81 



55. (a) "A woman was walking through a park in Chi- 

 cago. Suddenly she stopped, dreadfully frightened. She ran 

 to the nearest policeman and told him she had seen hanging to 

 the limb of a tree" — After a pause — "A what?" 



(b) "My neighbor has just received some singular visits; 

 one after another, a doctor, a lawyer, and a priest called. What 

 is happening at my neighbor's?" 



Full credit given only if both problems are answered satis' 

 factorily. 



ADULT. 



56. "Here is a paper folded in four; suppose that here 

 (pointing to a small triangle whic'h has been drawn in the middle 

 of that edge which consists of but a single fold) I cut out this 

 little triangle of paper. Now if I unfold the paper, how would 

 it look? Draw the paper as it would appear if unfolded, and 

 show how and where it would be cut." (Fig. 10.) 



Requirements: Two diamonds drawn in line with each other 

 and each in the center of one-half of a square. 



57. An oblong card cut in two along a diagonal is placed 

 in position before the subject. "Look well at the lower piece 

 of card. Suppose that I lift it and place this edge (tracing the 

 edge a-c with the finger) on this edge (a-b of the upper piece). 

 Suppose further that this point (r) is placed just on this point 

 (b). Now I take away the piece; in your imagination, place it 

 as I h?ve described and draw its outline in this position. Com- 

 mence by following the outline of the upper piece." (Fig. 11.) 



It is required that a right angle be represented at (b) and 

 that the edge a-c be shorter than the edge a-b. 



58. "What is the difference between laziness and idleness?"' 

 "What is the difference between event and advent?" "What is 

 the difference between evolution and revolution?" Two correct 

 responses required. 



59. "There are three principal differences between a King 

 and a President of a Republic. What are they?"
