CHILD STUDY.

Mr.. Arthur Macdonald, in the American
Journal of Sociology remarks that child
study receives as yet but scant support
among the scientific which is doubtless So
Yet some interesting conclusions de-
rived from recent incomplete studies of
modern man undertaken by investigators
in various parts of the world
are noted These statements are
to he taken in a general sense only e.,
as true in most of the cases investigated.
Some Of the more important conclusions
of these investigators. az stated by Mr..
Macdonald are as follows:
Ma Nmum growth In height and weight
occurs in boys two years later than in
girls G}owdtch.
First born children excel later born in
stature and weight (Boas).
"Chcst-girth increases constantly with
height, and is generally half the length of
the body Nandsberger)
&C hcst-9irth and circumference of the
head increase in parallel lines ODaffnCr).
The relatively large size of head as
compared with body in children may be
due to the fact that from birth on the
child needs its brain and senses as much
as when grown (Weissenberg).
Boys grow more regularly than girls.
but the growth of girls during school
years Is greater than that Of boys
(SohmIdD.
"Iu boys In school the muscles OF the
upper extremities increase with age as
compared with those of the lower eX-
tremetics, because of their sitting more
than standing (kotelmann).
children born In summer are taller
than those born in winter (Combel
Boys of small frames often have large
beads and are deficient In reposc of char
acter, and when the chest Is contracted
and mental action slow. this mental con-
dition is due, probably, to lack of supply
of purified blood Uiharzili).
"Delicate slender people are much more
subject to typhoid fever than to consump-
ton Niilderbrand).
Growth degenerates as we go lower In
the social scale british Association for
Advancement of SciGce).
Dull children are lighter and precocious
children heavier than the average child
0orter).
AS circumference of head increases
mental ability increases; 1t being under
stood that race and sex are the same
| lMacDonald).
Urban life decreases stature from five
years Of age on (Peckham).
"Iruant boys are inferior In weight,
height and chest girth to boys in general
! 0<line).
CITY children are more vivacious, but
have less power of endurance, than coun-
try children U4iharzik).

canteens recently sent out an official
statement in which it declares emphati-
calv that cantcens do not take the place
of native drinking places. and has this TO
say about the cantcen itself:
THE saloon in the barracks keeps temp
tation always before the men. offers OPP
portunities to non-drinkers who would
never go to a saloon. and is simply one
more saloon added to the too numerous
drinking places; better perhaps because
under surveillance and not selling whis-
key, but worse because more beer can be
obtained for the same amount of money
The preachers on the ground at Manila,
ought to be pretty well situated to OBJ
serve the workings Of the cantcen in that
quarter; and their statement that the
cantccn Is simply one more saloon
added to the too numerous drinking places
will perhaps apply to some army posts
this side Of the Philippines.

The Army Cantcen,

-Four hfths OF the officers of the army,
probably think that it was Il mistake to
abolish the canteon and a strong and
possibly successful effort will be made
to restore it, when Congress assemblies.
or course those who maintained the sue
cossful agitation for the closing of the
canteen will not allow it to be reopencd

of the chntoen are more In evidence than
its opponents and every deserton, every

The monster whose stuffed hide and

half inches from the top of his head to

He fell a victim to the rifle of a German

Strange, how we turn and flee

Why should we fear him so?
What doth the white one bear?

Lilies of purer air,
Cones he so soft so kind,
Down from the singing sky
Soft as a mother comes,
Stirred by an infants cry
Why should we call him Death
