WEIGHT AND HEALTH.
Better Be Over the Average When
Young and Under When Old.

= rom tcs ArF1sNSg kecofG.
At the twenty-frst annual meeting OF
the Association of Life Insurance Direct
ors some facts were brought out in re-
gard 10 the best build Of men and women
from the insurancem ans paint OF view.
In the New York Life Insurance Com
pany efforts have been going on for many
years to determine the exact influence oc
build on longevity. 1t is suggested that
a mistake has been made in assuming
that the average build at any age is the
most favorable build at that age or the
build from which it may be expected the
most favorable mortality will be sus
tanned.
For instance, figures show that at the
age of twenty all risks from "A per cent
are better than average risks. Does r.
not then seem probable that the point
of most favorable build is about half way
from "a per cent overweight to ~ per
cent underweight, or in the neighbor-
hood of per cent overweight? III this
Inference Is correct the tables now used
are too favorable to the underweights BY
about per cent
At the age sixty. on the other hand
the superstandard risks begin at about
per cent overweight and extend 10
about = per cent underweight. The mean
point between these extremes lies at
about Z per cent underweight, and the
conclusion appears evident that the pres
ent table based on average weights is
too high by about Z per cent. At the in
termediate ages, thirty to fifty, the mean
point lies not at the zero but on the
heavyweight side of the zero at the age
of thirty, and at the lightweight side OF
the age of forty is the table apparently
correct.

Individuality and Teaching.


A special committee Of the National
Educational Association declared in a re-
port on high schools and colleges: 1T
ought TO be possible for any strong high
school TO introduce into its curriculum
any subject that meets the peculiar
needs of that community or that appears
to be the most appropriate vehicle for
teachers of pronounced individuality
What is pronounced Individuality and
how pronounced must it be to give a
teacher the right to free choice of his
subject? Independence and freedom are
in the abstract excellent things, but
school teaching is "A very concrete affair.

If teachers begin to ask for free play

If the teachers answer, freedom from

parents may well suggest that children

sound work in the world that does not
involve the kind of repetition of small
acts and the close attention to small
details which some people call drudgery.
A doctor meets a multitude of petty all
ments; business man has his daily
round of letters and office work; yet from
them one does not hear the complaint
that comes from some teachers. for they
take the tedious details part of the
days work. and look beyond them to the
end that is to be attained. The man
who sees his work as whole, and keeps
large objects in view, is not bored by
details 1t is the man without this
