AFFECTIONS
A. TEST
FOR SANITY

New York. Jan. 26.-The affections are
being made a test of ehilds sanity I'm
the public schools by the board of educa-
tion.
IL dainty Flossie. with her iaxen curls
and laughing eyes. walks past the desk
of Tom. Dick or Harry without single
mothers son gazing adoringly at her,
then these boys are o. K'd.
And, In their turn. II every girl bids her
beating heart be still when Dick stands
on his head behind the teachers back
or Reginald reaches the head OF the spell
ing class, then she need fear no more to
be dropped into the backward class.
But II, on the other hand, Tom is unable
TO subdue his increasing fondness as day
after day passes. and i'm "A moment OF
forgetfulness puts his arm about Flossies $
waist and kisses her. his time has come,
and TO the backward class" for him.
This has been the fate OF scores Of un-
fortunate youths OF the New York public
schools. For four years the test has been
tried. and classes are rapidly increasing
IL is each teachers business TO make
note of every display OF this kind that
she sees. and 10 report IL TO Dr. Brann
of the board of education. DIR. Brann's
sole business is testing children's sanity
and classifying them.
Affection" said DR. Brann 10 re-
porter "in a super-abundant proportion.
Is a sure sign OF eble-mindedness. II
a child rushes wildly into "A room and
throws his arms about the teacher de-
claring his most violent love for her. then
that child needs watching IL is an un-
natural performance.
For this reason we have had 10 seq
regate the boys and girls of the back
ward classes. Boys sometimes love the
girls almost 10 distraction. In the middle
or a recitation a boy will Jump from his
seat for some indehnable reason and en-
brace his pretty little neighbor-girl This
is really one OF our strongest proofs OF
feeblemindedness.
DIR. Brann is not alone in his belief that
over affection and insanity go hand-in-
hand. The same opinion was expressed
only two days ago by Paris scientist
DR.. Maurice Fleury, who astonished the
medical world by his discovery that love
was disease and should be treated as
such.
