Many tests have been devised which have been thought to have more general application than those which have been mentioned above for the particular subjects.  One of the most valuable of these tests, called technically a completion test, is that derived by Dr. M.R.  Trabue.[29] In these tests the pupil is asked to supply words which are omitted from the printed sentences.  It is really a test of his ability to complete the thought when only part of it is given.  Dr. Trabue calls his scales language scales.  It has been found, however, that ability of this sort is closely related to many of the traits which we consider desirable in school children.  It would therefore be valuable, provided always that children have some ability in reading, to test them on the language scale as one of the means of differentiating among those who have more or less ability.  The scores which may be expected from different grades appear in Dr. Trabue’s monograph.  Three separate scales follow.
