What she especially fancies is study that is
practical and varied. where observation rather
than method is the course to follow. and which
is more or less free from complicated. abstract,
technical details.
That is why girls succeed better IN the lower
grades than boys. Here the subjects studied
conform more closely to the types above noted.
Up TO seventeen and eighteen the girls grasp
things much easier and are much more adaptable
and precocious in every way than their brothers.
But after eighteen the boys catch up and the
girls have a difficult time to compete with them
in the higher branches of learning.
A girl of fourteen, let US say, impresses one

What happens really Is a dispersal
OF attention and a shifting and
widening OF interests at about
eighteen due to the reproductive
urge which sidetracks the feminine
