Psychology Topic of Homan Address to Kiwanis
Prof. T. G. Homan of Iowa State Teachers College spoke to Kiwanians on psychology in business and criminology. He urged mental testing for employees to reduce inefficiency and cited a St. Louis department store example where many workers appeared older but functioned at a younger mental level. He warned that psychological testing could influence rehabilitation of criminals and noted high rates of violent crime among the mentally deficient. He urged voters to oppose reproduction of such persons if given the chance.
