BosroN. July Slater a tour Of the
West President q. Stanley Hall OF Clark
University, Worcester. now comes forth
with further views for the benefit OF those
who yearn To delve n the mysteriesof love.
President Hall takes up flirting espe-
cially and explains that for girls to frt
is perfectly natural.
He establishes the dictum that flirtingis
especially natural To girls in their teens.
-Heredity is more potent than environ
ment." explained Prof. Hall. Il believe
that by no act OF Parliament or of Con-
gress or by any man made law can you
change human nature to any great eX-
tent. SO as flirting is hereditary IL must
remain impervious through all time to
mans edicts.
Flirting which NAV bs harmless In
itself II not carried too far. il woman's
emotional safety valve. A girl needs 10
firt II she Is young and full OF spirit. and
generally IL does her no injury.
Woman is delightfully."- ehervescent
in her emotions. and so her ability for
real deep feeling while in her teens has
been often called into question.
The man who puts his trust In the
emotions Of girl in Der teens Is in dan
gerous waters. Ifh& OF the sort which
takes disappointment to heart her alleged
love or seeming reciprocation Of his afec-
ton will prove his undoing.
