EN-SecTetary of state John W. Foster.
who was minister to Mexico for seven
years beginning in 1873. recently called
On ambassador de Azpiroz TO discuss
with him the purposed change OF the
monetary system of that country from
the silver TO the gold standard. Mr.
Foster has large interests in Mexico
and therefore takes a lively interest in
al things pertaining to its finances or
to the government Of the greatest of the
Standardization republics.
While Mr.. Foster is interested fo the
extent Of many thousands OF dollars. he
is not inclined to talk for publication
concerning The change. I am not q

OXNARD HAS CONFERENCE
WITH THE PRESIDENT
Beet Sugar President Calls at the White
House by Appointment.

Henry T. Oznard, president of the beet
sugar trust. was a caller at the White
House Offices by appointment yesterday
morning. He discussed with the Presi-
dent the effect the passage Of the
Cuban reciprocity treaty would have or
certain business interests in this coun-
try. The conference lasted fifteen min
utes.
One Of the main results Of the cor
tinued agitation over Cuban reciprocity
has been to deter capita. from being
invested in the island, and this will con
tinue, it Is said, until final action is
taken by the Senate. Mr.. Oxnard's po-
sition, it is understood, is that any
action would be better than further
agitation. It is believed. therefore, that
the beet sugar. trust will not try to
exert its influence further against the
treaty.

conclusions reached would have more
general application to America as a
whole than any other city which could
be selected. While . per cent of Wash
ington boys of American parentaEe may
be said to be s'unruIy." only eleven one
hundTedths of per cent of the girls Of
American parents are "unruly" Amer
lean boys are likewise more unruIy by ]
per cent than boys born Of foreign pa
rents, while girls born Of American pa
rents are less unTuly than girls born Of
foreign parents. The girls have . per
cent less dullness than the boys. but the
author adds that this may result from
the fact that the girls reach maturity
earlier than the BOYS. Children Of
American parents are much brighter, if
the examinations made in Washington
hold good for the entire country, than
children born Of foreign parents. They
are also brighter than children born Of
one foreign and one American parent,
which seems to indicate that a mixture
Of nationalities IS not always advanta-
geous in its effect upon offspring. The
same examinations show that children
Of the professional and mercantile
classes are superior to the children Of
the laboring classes. which the author
declares indicates that the advantages
Of good social conditions are favorable
to mental brightness" But f the chill
dren of the non-Iaboring classes are
mentally brighter, they are less robust
and healthy. and show much higher
per. cent Of sickness and nervousness
than children of the Isboring classes
From the examinations conducted
through public school teachers in This
city Doctor Macdonald draws among
others these conclusions:
while most all children, boys espe-
ciaIIy are lazy at times, there are
nevertheless a number OF children who
seem to be chronicaIIy lazy Erom the
table 4re see that the dull boys have the
highest per cent of laziness. It may
be true also that their Incidence Is one
of the causes OF this dullness. Com
pairing all girls and boys, the boys Will
be seen to be much more lazy than the
girls.
Alter OF course theEe is no stand
ard of laziness. yet there are certain
children whose excessive laziness is ap-
parent to every teacher. This is also
true in regard TO unruiy children. As
we might expect, the boys are very
much more unruly than the girls

own ignorance. Since Pope declared
that the proper study of mankind is

Macdonald contends that the only way
to study man is to study children. 1t
doesn't need an elaborate argument to
prove the contention. The average
adult man is mentally cracked and
physically disOrEanized. and. at best,
can only be studied when he is locked up.

Various bills have been introduced TO
establish a laboratory for the study Of
