HUSBAND PICKING
BY PSYCHOLOGY
ALL FOl-DE-ROL
SO Says DR.. Sarah McNutt Re-
garding a Theory Advanced
! by DR.. Arthur Holmes.
MEMS NOSES NOT IN 1T.
Big Ears Not a Sign That a
Man Is Mentally
! Deficient.
MEMS NOSES NOT IN IT.

sAii educators should teach their girl
pupiis how to distinguish a real man
from an imitation one. When a girl is
married she 10 married to the family
1 the man for four or Ave generations
back. II his grandparents were deficient
she wdll have to expect trouble with her
children. Most girls marry men because
thsy are attracted by their clothes, their
lovely noses, their canes and some even
for their oowlicks."
Such u the opinion OF DR.. Arthur
Hulmes, psychologist IN the University
OF Pennsylvania He says that society
climbers - they climb higher and high
- In the social scale grow nearer and
nearer to the plane OF the idiot.
MANY men and women that the
world holds normal are really deficient
and may be easily singled out by the
shape OF their noses, ears and their gen.
esNl appearance" he says.
CONTRARY OPINION HELD BY A
WOMAN.
Conksadicting all his statements, DR..
Sarah McNutt told a reporter for The
Dvsning World to-day that she placed
the idsal Of American womanhood far
s6ovs attractive clothes.
Y behave any one who would make
the sasertfou that most girls marry men
bsoause they are attracted by their
caotAes to lowering the standard OF our
w0manhood and does not realize al,
tha< he 10 saying. The majority Of our
young girls OF to-day look for some
thing more In a man besides a smart
Appearance. The most essential assets
are honesty and manhood.

thing else to do IN bringing UP the

advise them 70 teach the fundamentals
OF arithmetic and English first. The
modern education to-day IL . credit to

personal appearance has nothing
10 do with the character Of a person,
In my opinion. Least Of all. their noses
or their hands. Why, have known
people with Madonna-ilx faces and
long. slender noses to he regular fiends
in character. A persons general ap-
pearanoe and expression around the
mouth are usually moulded a. he grows
older. Although believe character

after they have developed. and has
nothing to DO with general features.
Large ears do not indicate mental de.
fioiency. as one is powerless to prev ent
them. On the other hand, a dropping

%. through a Discontinued nature, has
not controlled the general features.
DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE
BACK NUMBER THEORY.
- do not agree with DR.. Holmes when
he ssys that when a girl marrles she
10 married to the family Of man for
four or hve generations back, and that
u his grandparents were deficient she
wtn have to expect trouble with her
ohildken. I do not believe there Ia any
Ssoh thing as heredity traits. A person
cannot inherit good or bad Qualities
from either his father or his mother.
rAat DOES not mean that he cannot In
hsrit any bad traits. I DO believe that
without proper environment and strength
OF character child will naturally fol-
low In the footsteps OF his parents.
Usually, however. II there Is one de-
linquent in the family the other men,
beN are only too glad to shun evil
ways and develop into better men and
women. II Is generally the case when
the father of a family Is a drunkard
or Q criminal, the children, through the
teachings and instructions OF their
mother or relatives. are made to abhor
anything wrong. and will do all in
their power to change their mode OF
living.
Some Of our best citizens have been
horn in the slums and OF wretched
parents. Through force OF will and ad.
vanced education they rise to great
heights. Education Is the fundamen Ia
principle for all honorable manhood
and womanhood. without It our boy.
and girls would be worth little. The
city of New York has provided adequate
means 10 establish and maintain good
citizens. and unless some silly ideas are
introduced the future generation viii
grow into splendid manhood and wom.
anhOod. despite the fact that some oil
them are born with large ears or stut
noses"
