MEN ARE EMOTIONAL.
Doctor of Psychology Reports After
 Two Years Experimenting.

Chicago, June 3.-Men are more superior in physical strength and in in- ventiveness, Mrs Helen Bradford Thompson, doctor of philosophy, has proved, she says after two years of ex- perimenting with 9 young men and 25 young women students.
 Miss Thompson is one of the leading psychologists of the country. She com pleted her work in experimental psy- chology at the University of Chicago two years ago, and is now the director of the psychological laboratory at Mount Holyoke college for women in Massachusetts. Miss Thompson's ex- periments were made in the psy- chological laboratory at the University of Chicago and the results of her work have just been announced in the ad vance sheets from work published by the University of Chicago press. en- titled "The Mental Traits of Sex.''
 Seven different sets of tests were ap- piled to each of the 50 subjects and Miss Thompson spent about one thous- and hours in making them.
 The general results of her tests, Miss Thompson declares, show that the su- perior ingenuity and superior strength of men are not due to sexual difference of mind,' but to the influence of so- cfety as now organized, especially in the fact that the boy is taught to be inde- pendent in thought and action, is erl- couraged in all kinds of outdoor exer- cises, while the girl is taught obedi- ence, dependence and deference, and to shun all actions that are not "lady like.''
