gossip anent the vice presidency. The Gov

whole than any other city which could
be selected. While 5 per cent of Wash
ington boys of American parentage may
be said to be "unruly. only 1l-lOO of
/ per cent of the girls of American par
entS are -unruly-' American boys are
likewise more unruly by 1 per cent than
boys born of foreign parents, while girls
born of American parents are less I'M
ruly than girls born of foreign parents.
The girls have 5 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 parentage
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 in
dictate that a mixture of natlonalittes is
not always advantageous 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 con-
ditions are favorable to mental bright
ness But if the children OF the non
labOring classes are mentally brighter
they are less robust and healthy and
show a much higher per cent of sickh-
ness and nervousness than children OF
the laboring classes
From the examinations conducted
through public school teachers in this
city DR. Macdonald draws among Others
these conclusions:
While most all children. boys espe-
cially. are lazy at times. there are never
theless a number of children who seem
to be chronically lazy. From the table
we see that the dull boys have the high
est per cent Of laziness. 1t may be true
4 also that their Incidence is one Of the
/ causes of this dullness. Comparing all
girls and boys, the boys will be seen to
be much more lazy than the girls"
While, of course. there is no stand
ard of laziness vet there are certain
J children whose excessive laziness is ap-
+ parent to every teacher This is also
true in regard to unruly children. As
we might expect, the boys are very
much more unruly than the girls
DR.. Macdonald does not think it adj
visable to teach right-handed children
freer use os their left hand Recent
investigation he says, shows thar
superiority over the left hand increases
with growth also that the brightess
pupils are so to speak. more right hand
ed than the others. That suggests the
j modern tendency to become expert III
one thing rather than be upon the sur
face of many things. The left hand does
best when it supplements or helps the
right hand. It is a general opinion that
criminals have not only more left-hanG-
also more expert with both hands thar

FACTS ABOUT THE CHILD.
Children Born in Summer Taller Than
Those Born in Winter.

WASHINGTON Jan 9.-Children born in
summer are taller than those born in
winter, but children born in winter are
mentally stronger than those born in
summer. First born boys are superior
mentally to second or later born Blonde
girls are less sensitive to pain than bru-
nettes, but brunettes are physically su-
periOr to blondes Children of Well-tO-
do parents are taller and heavier than
children of poor parents The liver OF
the average boy of Well-to-do parents
is larger than the liver of the average
how of poor parents. Boys are lazler
thar girls likewise they are more un-
ruly and a larger per cent of them are
dull.
If anybody doubts any of these state
ments. Or Arthur Macdonald special
list of the United States bureau of edu-
cation will prove each and every one of
them and SO many more of the same
kind that the AVERAGE seeker after IN
formation win be overwhelmed with his
own ignorance. Since Pope declared th2
the proper study of mankind is man
nobody has questioned it, DR.. MacDon-
aid 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 disor-
gained and at best can only be studied
when he is locked up.

the criminal pauper and defective class
es Dr. Macdonald thinks it IS more i'm
pOrtant to study men of genius and tai
ent than to devote all the energies of
the scientists to unearthing statistics re-
gardiag criminals. 1t may be added, .
says Dr. Macdonald. the most import
ant period of mans life to Investigate
is childhood. Children are easy TO an
proach. their natures are o9en and If
anything wrong is found it may be rem
edied much better than later in life.
Children can be studied much more sci
entifcally than adults. They are nearer
to nature and have been less Influenced
by the evils of the world" The author
of "A Plan for the Study of Man" makes
the prediction that the study of children
