study OF the relation between the TO.
lnl length OF life and the time required
to reach maturity has brought out an
Interesting comparison between men
and horses. A horse at five years old
Is said to be. comparatively, as old as a
man at twenty. and doubtless may be
expected to behave, according to
equine standards. after the manner OF
the average college student following
human standards. A ten.year-old
horse resembles. SO far as age and ex-
