Although each marrics bis own blood

offspring of the round headed Jewish

those or the long headed Italian parents
become rounder- headed. In other words,

That American. born BOYS mature

The stamp of the American mold
becomes deeper with the length Of
time that the immigrant parents spend

The professor proves this by comparing
the features of three classcs-those
born abroad, those born here within less
than ten years after the arrival OF the
immigrant mother and those born here
after more than ten years following her
coming.
Thus it is seen, for example, that

American Type" Described.
During one of the many delightful
conversations which I had with that
eminent ethnologist, the late Prof Otis
Mason, We discussed al length this very
problem. When asked to describe in
detail the American type, he replied.
"The average width Of his head
should be about so per cent of its
length. and the whole head is built up
somewhat square, with forehead slightly
roceding and brow and check bones to-
gether forming an arched angle of CON

Finally by comparing parents with
their own children Prof Boas shows
that the difference between a parent
and his child born abroad are not the
same as the difference between par
ent and his child born in America.
Thus he establishes beyond doubt that
'.an actual change of type, due TO en-
vironment, takes place after immigra-
tion.'
The environment stamps deeper than
heredity-that soil counts moro than
blood-is shown also by what happens
to these people in Europe before
they come over here. Anthropological

Investigations show clearly that people
inhabiting various parts of Europe diff
fer more according to geographic
locality than according to nationality.
Thus the people Of the Alps, no matter
what language they speak, show con.
siderable similarities in typc.
How Panics Change the Body.
Economic conditions of our country
alter the types Of our immigrants. the
professor finds, after gathering statis-
ties covering a long period of years.
After the panic of 1893 a sudden de-
crease il general physical development
of immigrants occurred and persisted
for several years, and n similar change
appears TO have taken place after the
panic of 1907. Thus We have new
burden of blame to be laid on the door
step Of the political agitator or frcnzicd
lnancier who brings about financial de-
preston. He reduces the average
stature and weight Of the American
