Boston. June A.--Reiterating his decla-
ration that college women are less prone
10 enter wedlock than girls of less eduea-
tion. Dr. q stanley Hall. president OF
Clark university Worcester. told some OF
the scientific secrets OF the mystic power
that sways the world today as In ages
past
sorue years ago DR. Hall wrote Ado
lescence: It's Psychology" book which
won him fame This treats OF love from
a scientific standpoint
eyes. hair and teeth are the three first
physical attributes which win affection
declares DR. Hall while woman cherishes
the broad shoulders OF her Spartan

become fascinated by the eyes, hair ana
even speech, all of which produce love
siahs."

over his statement regarding tho celibacy
OF a college woman, Dir. Hall said:
''Some years ago Dr. Smith OF Smith

girls colleges and a similar number OF
Others, which, according 10 statistics,
proved conclusively that the educated
woman scorned marriage.
THE four girls colleges canvassed by
means OF the work OF the class secre-
taries covering 10 years showed that but
% per cent of the college women entered
ynatrimony. These colleges were Welles-
icy, Smith, Vassar and Bryn Mawr.
