AS INTELLECTUAL AS OF OLD.
Boys CT To-Day Are at Least as Smart
as Their Ancestors.

1t Is often asserted nowadays that
our young men and women attain in
tellectual maturity much later than
did their parents and grandparents,
and in support of this the5ry the pre-
cocity of distinguished personages
who fiourished generation or two
ago is cited. Now somebody, who
has probably been bored, like the rest
of US. with this yarn abaut the phe-
nomenal brightness of the old-fash-
Toned boys, has looked up the records
of II leading colleges to see what
changes have taken place in the age
of graduates. From 1850 to 1860 the
average age at graduation was %
years 1.3 months From 1890 to 1900
1t was 20 years 10 months. In 1870
years at Dartmouth the average age
at graduation has fallen three months.
This average age, 1t appears, has
changed as little as the average wealth
er. Thus one or two pracocIous
youths of the long ago are sufficient
to endue all their contemporaries with
the same qualities. But the fact Is,
the twentieth century boy is smarter
than any of his predecessors, and (un-
fortunately In nine cases out of ten
