the size of family tends toward improve
ment of the immigrant.
TT has been Observed he said. that
while immigrants have large families. the
size of the family is very materially re-
duced in the second generation An in
quiry into our material has shown that
the reduction of the size of the family
goes hand in hand with the improvement
of the physical development of the in
dvidual. This is demonstrated by the
fact that children belonging to small
families are considerably taller than chill
dren belonging to large families. Reduc-
ton in the size of families goes hand In
hand with physical development"
The investigation has been extended
to other races, and Prof. Boas hopes to
continue 1t until, by noting other changes
due to our soil-such as in the color OF
eyes. hair and skin-he can determine
what the Indicated American type"
really is.
During one Of the many delightful con-
versat.ons which 1 had with that emil
nent ethnologist, the late Prof. Otis
Mason, we discussed at length this very
problem. When asked to describe in de-
tail the American type. he replied:
THE average width of his head should
be about 80 per cent of its length, and
the whole head is built, up somewhat
square. with forehead slightly receding
and brow and cheek bones together form
ing an arched angle of considerable
prominence. Nose strong and aquiline:
mouth full and quite rambling = never
pretty, but with comical curve always
its own: chin very strong: and the eye
never full or fat, but sunken. on account
of the great prominences of the orbits.
The color of his eye is dark-haZel.
should say: his. skin dark and leathery,
and his hair also dark. The natural en-
vironment of North America never pro-
duced other than dark hair, eyes and
skim
1t is worthy of mention that Prof
Mason thus defined the width Of the head
of the American type as 50 per cent of
its length. whereas Prof. Boas finds 1t in
the preliminary Investigations to be be-
tween 80 and 81 per cent.

dition OF the poor as his chief duty.
As heir-apparent 10 a despotic ruler his
position was a difficult one. 1t speaks
much for his diplomatic skill that he sue
ceeded in putting many of his theories
into practice without bringing down on
himself the open wrath OF King Leopold.
Much of the success he has achieved is
due to the aid given him by his wife,
Queen Elizabeth, who shares his opinions
and joins in his work.
King Albert has all the quiet determine

Each observer went armed with
scale and cross arm for measuring
stature. steel 'calipers for measuring the
dimensions OF the head and face, a dy-
namometer for testing the hand grip
and standard of hair colors' with all
shades and hues, to be placed against
tresses that must be precisely classi-
fed The condition of the teeth and
color of eyes and skin of each subject
were also carefully observed and then
there were genealogical blanks calling
for data Of parents and grandparents.
Then people of the same foreign blood
were divided into two classes-those
born and reared abroad and those born
and reared in America-and when these
two classes were compared some sur
prising results-far more importano
than Prof. Boas anticipated-at once
became apparent, and according to SEN
ator Dillingham;, chairman of the immi-
grafton commission. DR.. Boas has made
"a discovery in anthropological science
that is fundamental in Importance
The results of the investigation, as 1t
has progressed so far, will be reported by
the commission in the course of
month.
Children born even a few years after
the arrival of the immigrant parents in
America develop in such way that they
differ in type, essentially, from their for
eign-born parents" said DR.. Boas. THESE
differences seem to develop during ear
Hest childhood and persist throughout
life. 1t seems that every part of the
body is influenced in this way, and even
the form of the head, which has always
been considered as of the most per-
manent heredity features, undergoes con-
siderable changes"
The two nationalities which have been
focking to our shores I'M by far the
greatest numbers were the first studied
by the anthropologist. These are the
east European Jews and the southern
Italians.
Now remarkable change is found to
take place in these, two types as soon as
new generations are bred on American
soil. The Jew of eastern Europe arrives
here with head as typically round as
that of the immigrant from south
Italy is Enthusiastically long. Although
each marries his own blood and has chill
