Enjoyable Day, and PRONUNCIATION
Of Social Things.

Prof. H. E. Kratz's lecture Saturday
afternoon or "Child Study" was a very
interesting address and one, If published
in full, from which parents and teachers
could draw many valuable suggestions
as to training and educating children.
1t is a lecture, however, which is diff
cult to abbreviate. The threefold ma
ture Of the child IN its development has
t, be closely studied to obtain good
practical results but 80 studied these re-
suits are most important. For example
q chlld's vocabulary at 16 months con-
sisted of ID words. A boy will have
learned just about one-third as many
words as a girl at the same age. Until
ID years boys are heavier or grow faster
than girls, from Ii to Is girls grow faster
than boys, then boys take the lead
again. Addicted to exaggeration, 40
boys to 140 girls; as tale bearers, 100
boys to 800 girls; gossip, 24o boys to 400
p~rofane, 80 boys, no girls; vulgar, 80 boys
to 40 girls. and SO n Eminent men
come chiefly from parents of middle life
and are the elder of large families. Pow
erty more conducive to talent and 80 On.
