From the color of Z mans hair may

who has for some months been closely
studying the subject. School boys with
chestnut hair. he maintains. are likely
to be more clever than any others. and

The class. and In like manner girls with
fair hair are likely to be far more studi-
GUS and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and recitations these

boys and girls with brown hair ara
