BOSTON. June 24.-Reiterating his
declara ton that college women are less
prone TO enter wedlock than girls Of
less education. DR.. G. Stanley Hall,
president of Clark University. Worces-
ter, told some Of the scientific secrets
OF the mystic power that sways the
world today as IN ages past
Some years ago DR.. Hall wrote

which won him fame. This treats Of
love from a scientific standpoint

first physical attributes which win az

Of her Spartan knight and condOnes
his failings for this one characteristic.
Girls and boys Of the high school show
a strong tendency TO become fascinated
by the eyes. hair, and even speech, all
Of which produce love signs"
While he does not court a contro-
versy over his statement regarding the
ceIibacy Of a college woman, DR.. Hall
added:
Educated Women Scorn Marriage.
Some years ago DR.. Smith, Of Smith
College. and myself took a census Of
four girls colleges and a similar num-
Der OF others. which. according to sta
tistics, proved conclusively that the edu-
Gated woman sCOrned marriage.
THE four girls colleges canvassed
by means Of the work Of the class sec
retaries covering ten years showed that
but 30 per cent of the college women
entered matrimony. These colleges were

''Of the various characteristics in men
and women or girls and boys which

hair also lead. while charms of hands,

and even chewing gum are also spe-

Some are effected by a high, some by
a low voice. The rising infection,

often prepotent. The mode OF laugh
