MEN 1N RIGHT PLACE

1n the gigantic and complex or- ganlzation of the new, highly mechanized Canadian Army there is an efficient place somewhere for every Canadian regardless of his former occupatlon. The Personnel Selection officers will Iielp to put each man into it It is industrial psychology on a grand scale.

There are more than 150 differ- ent types of specialist and trades- men in the 1941-42 Canadian Army, and when a commander wants a powderman, a meteorogist. a me- chanical dentist or an instrument mechanic he'll get them, either army or olvll trained. The dlsturber or the drunken or dlsobedient sold- ier will be handed more efficiently than by transferrng him from unit to unit or job to job.

HELPS THE MISFITS

For the new personnel corps is bringing with them into the army all features of their mental hygiene practice in civilian life, or of their doctrines and teachings if the were professors or psychology an allied subjects in Canadian univer- sities. They will not only halt the misuse of talentand trn in the army, they will sttemp to straighten out every soldier with a long crime sheet. They will act in an advisory capacity to discover reasons for personality malad- justme t of problems of discipline. of mro onal disturbances of the sullen, lazy unreliable soldier.

The process cf scientifically plac- ing men in their best military roles ‘s not new. The big industries hav- ing been giving vocational nnoe to prospective and new em- ployee for years, and have extract- ed greet dividends end the Ger- mm. Russian and American Armies have also adsptsd similar efficient methods of piloting men to their most fitting military jobs.

The Canadian system f0 pereaa- l

uel out of deliben- tious by etiotanl Research Council in the pro-war days when

the present Canadian Corps Com- mander. Lieuh-con. A.-G.-L. Mc- Nllllhiﬂll. was its President. The first significant announcement was in October, 1939. however, when s paper was studied on "The Use of Pqchology in Wartime." Associated with General McNaughton at that time, in warning that more care- ful selection of army personal would be neous y for the scienti- fis war we were entering, was the late Dr. Bir Broderick Banting. Prof. I A. Bott of the University at ‘Ibromto and members of the Research Council. Unfortunately. the imperative demands for speed in mobilization, coupled with a drastic shortage of staff officers. hampered inauguration of a selec- tion organization until now.

The selection system of placing recruits following tests and per- sonal interviews was first tried out on the Army Tank Brigade at Camp Borden more than a year ago, after Col. (now Brig.) F. F. Worthington volunteered the unit as s guinea pig. More titan 10,000 men have since been classified.

STAFF EXAMPLES

The Personal selection Director- ate is now ready to launch its work under full power. Colonel G. B. Chisholm, M.C., M.D., who heads it, is so peculiarly well fitted for the post that he is personally an example 0f what can be done in an army in efficiently placing of- floers according to their abilities and training. He is not only an in- ternationally known netrologlst and psychiatrist but he had an ex- ceptionally long service, both in the ranks and as an officer, with an infantry battalion in France in the last war. On his staff are Captain William Line, formerly Professor 0i Psychology in the University of Toronto; Lleut. J. D. Griffin. for- merly medicul director. Canadian National Committee for Mental Hygiene, now attached to the RC.- A.M.C.; Major James Howard as administrative officer, a teacher with experience in psychological work and vocational guidance, and other members yet to be appointed. There will be five Army Examin-

ers. each in charge of selection

procedures in a. group oi military

districts. At each Basic ‘Iiuinmg

Centre and District Depot will be

one Aslstant Army Examiner and. under him will be N.C.0.'s and

stenographers. All members of the

Directorate have had experience in

some aspect of personnel work, in

the field or in industrial psycho-

logy.

CANADIAN CORPS ALSO

A similar process of increasing efficiency by sensibly placing officers and men has been innu- guratcd in the Canadian Corps overseas. Its most enthusiastic superior is the Corps Commander. for there ls no more scientific sold- ler in any army than Lleut-Gen. McNaughton and none more alert to the fact that efficiency is many times more important in this war of speed, machines and mechanical engineers than in any previous military age.

In England, the new process of rte-selection of army personnel ls already in operation. In Cans-in. they will not touch either officer or men already in the army for the present, but all recruits from now on will have their first interview in the process of lot-min? them in their most fitting job and corps, within their first week in uniform. During the first two mOnlhs of training in the fundamentals of soldlerlng and the basic weapons of the modem warrlor-rvhich is taken by all rccardless of the corps or service to which they are utlmatcly designed-each recruit will be given a general clasuflcntion rest and in- terviewed in detail by the assistant Army Examiner.

designate his service-infantry ar- tillery, ordnance, etc. When thr- young soldier goes on to one of the advanced trahiing centres of h.s now allotcd service, his most ef- ficient job will be found for him.

If a man has designated a cer-

laln service for himself and is found

to be better fitted for another, an attempt will be made to prove to him that the place of greatest use- fulness to the Army is his logical destination. The soldier's personal preferences will be carefully con- sidered and as every effort will be made to permit a man to 10in the unit he desires. little friction is ex- pected. The function oi‘ the Direc- torate is to place the man in his most efficient service-not in a particular battalion 0r battery. The actual questionnaires which will be utllllzod are secret, but all recmiis will realize they are not expected to obtain 100 per cent. correct answers. Even a man's hob- bies’ likes and dislikes, habits, tem- perament, and type of entertain- ment to which he is addicted. will play a part in finding him his mili- tary job. His sense of responsibility, reaction to orders and directions. his common sense, general know- ledge and alertness will also be re- vealed to the examiners. In the Canadian Army's system of selec- tion, the personal interview. and reports on the man's progress dur- ing training, will play major parts in determining his service and work.

OTHER ARMIES

The German Army has utilized the results of psychological re- search in greater dent-cc than any other. By 1926 they were rebuilding their army for the [ircsent war. Four years later, German nrmv psychologists examined every officer and all officer candidates. Today the aid of every psychologist in

Germany has been enllslefl and their army tests start when their
