Certain fundamental differences of
character seem to exist between men
and women, and 1.-THE lord Of creation"
as he sometimes calls himself-Is apt
to ascribe them to the brain. This the
ory, he feels, carries with II the prlvi.
lege Of monOpolixing the morning pa
per, and Of answering with an air of
authority questions Of which he knows
quite as little as his wife. An English
scientist, Alexander Sutherland, has
studied this problem In Its physlolog.
icai aspects, and bis conclusions are In.
teresting TO men and women alike.
From comparison OF trustworthy sta
tistics, II appears that the brain Of the
average man IL about One-tenth larger
than that Of the average woman; but on
the other hand, II the ratio between the
size Of brain and body be taken Into
consideration mans brain comes out
second best. Happily, however, male
intelligence has lO0phOle Of escape
from the natural inference from this
fact. The smaller animal always has
the larger proportional brain. A cat
has more brain In proportion to Its size
than nm elephant, and baby's brain 10
i've times the relative size OF Its "a.
ther's. Woman has, however. other
lines OF defense. All mental activity
tinds Its origin In the thin outer layer
or cOrtex Of the brain. On every square
inch there are some ten millions Of min.
ute cells, the instruments Of mental en-.
ergy. Might not q more just compari.
son be based on CONSIDERATION Of these
cells? Perhaps, but MO observer has
yet shown that sex makes any differ.
ence In the number. development or vi.
tai energy OF these brain elements.
When all Is said, II the average man
prefers to regard size as the correct In.
dex Of intelligence, he must admit that
40 per cent Of the women he meets are
Of larger intellect than he. This will
give him food for reflection. aud per.
haps. after a little. he will agree with
Prof. Sutherland that every year seems
to show with increasing c0nclusiveness
that "there Is In the great mass Of cases
a practical equality In male and female
minds"
