Measuring Test For
Your Vocabulary
——— *
Several year* ago, aayi a writer in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, I saw a
list of words which had been chosen
with'a view to determining the sice of
one's vocabulary. It was said that
from the number of these words one
could define he could estimate the to
tal number of words with which he
- was familiar.
A list of this kind, which was com
piled by Prof. Lewis M. Turman, of
Leland Stanford, jr., University, was
given some circulation three or four
years back.
There are 100 words in this list,
and ability to give 75 definitions in
dica es a working vocabulary of 13,-
' 00 words, accordng to Professor Tur
man's calculation. But in these days
of fcfoSs-Wtfrd 1 puizles'it' may not be
ti accurate guide.
Tne professor's list follows:
orange, bonfire, roar, gown, tap,
scorch, puddle, envelop, straw, rule,
~aste, afloat, eyelash, copper, health
use,-guitar, mellow, pork, impolite,
plumbing; outward, lecture, dungeon;'
ouvhern, no iceable, muzzle, quake,
civiL
Treasury, reception, ramble, skill,
i misuse, insure, stave, regard, nerve,
.crunch, juggler, majesty, brunet, snip,
pish, sportive, hysterics, Mars, rt
w«e shrewd, forfeit, peculiarity, coin
age, mosaic, bewail, disproportionate.
Dilapidated, charter, conscientious,
avarice, -urUes.s, priceless, swaddle,
tolerate, gelatinous, depredation
promontory, .frustrate, milksop, phil
an hropy, irony, lotus, drabble, harpy,
