of Heredity, organ of the American
Genetic Association of this city.
Professor Pearson made his dis
covery when studying the population
of a sanitorium for consumptives,
where he found that there were many
more first-born than theer should be,
If tuberculosis selected It's victims at
random. On the other hand, the later
born children were fewer in number
than was expected.
Since then he has applied elaborate
statistical analysis to data of many
kinds. He finds that first-born chill
dren show the highest percentage OF
still births, and are most delicate dur
ing childhood. Further, they weigh
less and are shorter at birth, than are
later-born children.
Study of the inmates of homes fol
the feeble minded and insane asylums
shows him that first-born Children are
there in disproportionate numbers.
Criminality appears also to be q
prerogative of the eldest members oi
the family. Statistics of English pris.

calculation led him to expect only
557.
Epilepsy, albinism and congenital
cataract are likewise studied, and in
each case an abnormally large num-
ber of the affected persons are found
to be first born.
This inferiority, as brought to light
in statistics. is partly due to the fact
that many weak parents die after hav-
ing only a single child. Such a child
of course counts as a first born, and
naturally inherits some of the weak
ness of his parents; but his inferiority
is due rather to the bad stock than to
the fact that he is a f1rst-born.
But aside from this, Professor Pear
son holds that the first-born are, on
the whole. actually handicapped. This
may be partly due to the youth of
their parents, and partly to physiolog-
ical conditions in the mother.
! Believing that the eldest children
are thus handicapped, Professor Pear
son sees great danger to the race in
the present tendency to make families
consist of two children.
