Cureton; and Logic of and Assumptions Underlying Differential Testing, by John W. French. Papers in the second session considered methods of improving communication of test information. Particular attention was given to the responsibility of the test user for initiating and maintaining communication with the test author and publisher. Papers were given by John W. Gustad on Helping Students Understand Test Information; Alexander G. Wesman on the Obligations of the Test User; and David H. Dingilian on How Basic Organization Influences Testing. The lucheon address was a re-examination of the role of the psychologist in modern society, presented by Morris S. Viteles.
