DEAL LIGHTLY WITH THE OUNCE
Reasons Why Some Children Simply
Cannot Learn.

A small coterie of French doctors is

nomenOn known as the Ounce. The
existence Of the Ounce is frequently to
be attributed, they declare, to faulty
hygienic environment, unsuitable food
or tactless treatment. incidentally
they assert that disposition for
mathematical studies is no criterion
OF capacity for original or vigorous
thought, and that the ability to dea
with numbers is often observable In
the very weak of mind, says the New
York World.
The Ounce, they say, is often any
thing but Ounce. The poor child
may suffer from weakness of sight, oil
lncipient deafness, and his teachers
fall to note the fact. Morbid shyness
and self-consciousness, often charac
teristic In children, are the so-calleC

alertness. The phenomenon of grown
ups who are ten years behind theil
