...tests of quickness and accuracy that are being conducted by Dr. Fitz in the physiological laboratory at the Lawrence Scientific School are not entered into with sufficient interest on the part of the students to produce any gratifying effects. Thus far only 17 men have appeared during the whole month of January. It is hoped that during the next few weeks there will be a great number of tests made. They are at once interesting, instructive, and of practical experimental value...

Special attention is called to the explanation of certain tests of quickness which are now being made by Dr. Fitz at the Physiological Laboratory. It may not appear at first thought that these tests have anything about them which is connected with education, physical or mental. Yet they are being made with a view to making clear the relation of physical training to the development of quick and accurate motions and of well balanced bodies. The idea is to find out by comparison what sorts of exercise demand as a pre-requisite the most accurate mental aim and the quickest...
...tests of reaction time and quickness in sparring made by Dr. Fitz last year in the physiological laboratory will be continued this year. In addition to these, a "Visual location apparatus for testing manual quickness and accuracy" has been devised. The machine consists of a moving carriage which is placed in different positions behind a screen. The screen is suddenly dropped and the subject strikes as quickly and accurately as possible a white spot in the centre of the carriage. The time from the dropping of the screen to the hitting of the dot is measured in hundredths of seconds...
