Abstract
THE relatively late rise of psychology among the sciences is partly due to the fact that its subject–matter is so wrapped in prejudice and entangled in tradition that it is most difficult to examine in a detached and scientific spirit. The obstacles preventing the application of precise psychological information to personnel selection in the army, where tradition is so deeply entrenched, would seem to be particularly forbidding, and the Select Committee on National Expenditure is to be congratulated for devoting one of its reports to this topic*.
