The comparative measurements giver
Tests Of Ten Years Ago.

xCSLS Oh 4eu cars AXO.
The most thorough tests made in this
| country were published ten years ago
when statistics were taken from ma ny
sources showing the gradual increase
in height and weight Of American mon
and women.
Then the average height was found
to be about sixty-eight and half
inches; chest measurement, thirty-eight
inches: with inflated chest. forty
inches; waist, twenty-eight inches; hip,
thirty-twO inches; thigh, twenty-one
and half inches; calf, fourteen and
one-half inches. and weight. 100
pounds.
Then it was said that a glance over
10000 college men showed an average
increase in weight for forty years of
three pounds and an average increase
in height of an inch, with the fresn-
man classes showing two inches bet
ter average than their fathers had
shown. The average was likewise
shown to have gained an inch in
height and five pounds in weight
Physical Development Certain.
The records have not been kept with
any uniformity either as to ages and
numbers tested. or as to form of
recording the measurements, but tho
general indication is that the human
family. as typif1ed by the American COL
lege boy. is growing and developing in
weight. in height and in the general
points that go to make up the units Of
strength.
None Of the new averages for women
has been produced. but the last general
record showed an average height of
five feet seven inches, weight of 1875

GREAT EDUCATORS
ARE DEEP PR0BERs
President Hadley Thinks Plan 4
Select Instructors With More Abili-
ty to teach Would Do Harm.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. June 29.-The
annual report OF President Arthur l..
Hadley. of Yale university. made pG0
lie today, deplores the dimunition H.
the study OF Greek, which he thinks
is the best discipline college man
can get. discusses the considerations
which should govern the selection ol
professors and tentatively fayors the
introduction OF honor courses in1o
American universities. similar to those
OF oxford and Cambridge.
President Hadley declares that
when man has passed his examihs
tions In Greek, he knows he has made
the study to some purpose. because Il
is one OF the exact sciences In which
the examiner can tell his students
ability infinitely.
President Hadley thinks the plan
10 select instructors who had more
ability To teach and less TO do re
search work would work harm 10 any
college adopting IL. lie declared. wit
few exceptions. the great teachers
were investigators.
1T is the organization OF the stu
dent life. rather than the faculty life
]
Two plans have beer advanced. One
plan looks 10 making colleges a place
| for technical study, 80 that students
will have a professional stimulus 10
do their. work well. The other plan
would introduce the element OF intel
lectual competition among students by
establishing 'honr' courses"
The ordinary students. he SAID,
would pass his ordinary examinations
and get his ordinary degrees, but the
more ambitious students could go into
competitions for "honors" in classics
or mathematics, history or philosophy.
"a first class man IN any OF the
honor classes at oxford and Cam
bridge is a man OF power. He can
do things That is what should make
honor courses attractive 10 strong
men" he said. He favored the intro
duction OF the honor" system in Yale,
so as TO distinguish men who pass In
ordinary studies from the men VITO
