CORRELATION MADE
BETWEEN GRADES
AND INTELLIGENCE
Committee Made a Report of
the Work to Dr.
Milner.
FACULTY IS EFFICIENT
Correlations Found Show a Great Deal
of Relationship Between Grades
and Intelligence.
A committee from the class in edu
cational tests and measurements com
posed of Charles Carroll, Mildred Mar
lette, Elizabeth Moorefleld and Mar- I
garet Barnes reported to Dr. C. A. j
Milner the work done by the class last j
semester. They have found out some \
interesting facts about the student ,
body and about the efficiency of the
faculty. The class tried for a project
to discover the degree of relationship
between grades and intelligence. They
used the intelligence tests scores and
the grades of the freshman class en
tering in 1930. They found the fol
lowing relationships or eo-cfficients of .
correlation between intelligence scores j
and English grades .59, between intelli
gence scores and math .509, between |
intelligence scores and science .53, be- I
tween intelligence scores and foreign
language .44. These correlations show |
that there is a great deal of relation
ship between intelligence and grades.
In order to discover the efficiency
of the faculty, the correlations found
by the class were compared with those >
found by experts in this field. The
results compared very favorably. The
results from the class of '3O at Guil
ford show a .59 against a .45 for in
telligence and English correlation, :i
.509 against a .35 for math and intelli
gence, and a .53 against a .31 for intel
ligence and science.
These results show that the Guilford
College faculty is very efficient.
Prof. F. C. Shepard plans to let his j
futuro classes in tests and measure- |
ments do further research work iri this ]
field.
Work of a similar nature has been
done by the classes preceding this one.
Prof. Shepard has the results of this
work on file in his office.
The class also made histograms show
ing the intelligence curves of tli°
classes of '3O, '3l, '32, \33, and '34.
To those who know the various kinds
of tests it would be of interest to know
that the work was based on the Terman
group tests, forms A and B.
FACULTY DEPREDATOR
MURDERS TWO CHICKENS
The Guilfordian is going into tlio
census busines®. We are going to take
n census of chickens on farms between
Guilford and Greensboro. This is be
cause our special faculty deprecTator is
loose again, or rather has his licenses
back.
But this is a news article: At -1
o'clock Friday afternoon, February 2U.
on the Muir's Chapel roatl, two chickens
were done to death b ya hit-and-run
driver. Bystanders report that the
driver used his horn but not his brakes.
The Guilfordian regrets heartily this
recent upturn of crime in our com
munity.

"Dear, you'll be the death of me!"
The columnist points to the discovery

by three minutes.
