CHOICE MISCELLANY

Smart Boys Of Long Ago.
It Is often asserted nowadays that
our young men and women attain In
teilectual maturity much later than did
their parents and grandparents, and In
support Of this theory the precocity Of
distinguished personages who flourish
d a generation or two ago Is cited.
Now, somebody who has probably
been bored like the rest Of rs with
this yarn about the phenomenal
brightness Of the old fashioned boys
has looked up the records Of eleven
leading colleges to see what changes
have taken place In the age. Of grad
mates. From 1850 to 1850 the average
age at graduation was q years L3
months. From 1890 to 100 It was .
years 10 months. In 40 years at
Dartmouth the average age at gradua-
don has fallen three months. This
average age, It appears. has changed
Rs little rs the average weather. Thus
one or two precocious youths Of the
long ago are SUFFICIENT to endue all
their contemporaries with the same
qualities. But the fact Is the TWEEN
heth century boy Is smarter than any
Of his predecessors, and unfortunate
