MEN MORE EMOTIONAL
THAN WOMEN, SHE SAYS

CHICAGO. H., June 4.-Men are more
emotional than women. as well as being
superior in physical strength and In in
ventiveness. Helen Bradford Thomp-
son, Phi. D., has proved 1t, she says, af-
ter two years of experimenting with
twenty-five young men and twenty-five
young women students. Miss Thompson
is the director of the psychological
lat oratory at Mount Holyoke College
for Women, in Massachusetts,. Miss
Tbompson's experiments were made in
the psychological laboratory at the
University of Chicago. Seven different
sets of tests were applied and the gen.
erai results. Miss Thompson declares,
show that the superior ingenuity and
superior strength of men are not due to
sexual difference of mind" but TO the
Influences of society as now organized,
especially in the fact that the boy is
taught to be independent, while the girl
IS taught obedience, dependence, and
difference.

Hives, Nathalie Schenck, and Cynthia

school days. Miss Schenck thought
Miss Rives' idea worth investigating,
an6 she at once became a convert.
Cynthia Roche has followed suit, and,
as the three young women are leaders

ali the girls. and perhaps some of the
uatrons, will have their hairpins tossed
irto the sea and return TO the bright
Colcred hair ribbons of their childhood.
