Present "round field" on record blank with gate facing S. and say, "Let us suppose that your baseball has been lost in this round field. You have no idea what part of the field it is in. You don't know what direction it came from, how it got there, nor with what force it came. All you know is that the ball is lost somewhere in the field. Now, take this pencil and mark out a path to show me how you would hunt for the ball so as to be sure not to miss it. Begin at the gate and show me what path you would take." If S. stops, say, "But suppose you have not found it yet, which direction would you go next?" Credit in Year VIII for "inferior" plan (or better); in Years VIII and XII for "superior" plan.

Do not hurry S., but allow only one minute. If S. fails on the first sentence, read it for him slowly and correctly, pointing at each word as you speak it. Same procedure for second and third, except that no help is given. Credit if two sentences of three are correct, or one correct and two nearly correct. Time, one minute each.

Fables, you know, are little stories which teach us a lesson. I am going to read a fable to you. Listen carefully, and when I am through I will ask you to tell me what lesson the fable teaches us." After reading, say, "What lesson does that teach us?" Question S. if response is not clear. Proceed with (_b_), (_c_), (_d_), and (_e_) thus: "Here is another. Listen again and tell me what lesson this fable teaches us." After each ask, "What lesson does that teach us?" (_a_) Hercules and the wagoner A man was driving along a country road, when the wheels suddenly sank in a deep rut.
