more restless than girls. Their in
fractions of discipline are more &C.
tive. They throw things and tussle
with each other. The misbehavior of
girls is more subtle. One sex is no
harder to manage than the other, but
they must be managed differently. In
the old days teachers whose pupils
were boys received higher salaries
than those whose pupils were girls on
the theory that boys were harder to
control. Today this is no longer true
and the same teachers instruct both
boys and girls.
"The third factor which enters into
the education of children is formal
training. This, today, is virtually the
same for both sexes. We have learned
by scientific investigation that the ca
pacities of both are the same, so we
give both exactly the same instruction.
The only exceptions are courses in do
nestle science, which are open only to
girls, and in industrial arts, which are
open solely for boys.
"For some reason, it may be the
survival of age-old instincts, girls con-
form more readily to school life than
boys. They have an Unborn desire to
appear we'll in the eyes of the teacher
and, therefore, they do what the
teacher tells them to do"
The whole aim Of school life now,
according to DR.. Weglein, is to re-
fleet as nearly as possible conditions
in the world outside the school walls
and to prepare students to meet the
conditions of adult life without the
shock of transition which formerly ac-
companied the step from school to a
social or business career. AS rapidly
as possible movable furniture is being
installed so that teacher and students
may form a group which can sit face
to face and discuss history or geog-
raphy or other topics as a group of
adults might do in living room or
club. This device, says Dr.. Weglein,
is showing marked results in the in
terest students manifest in their les
sons and is much more natural than
the old-fashioned method of seating
students one behind another so that
each saw only the back of the one in
front Of him.
Discussions, or socialized recita-
tions, to use the technical name for
them, are supplanting the question
and answer method of former years
and students who, for temperamental
or other reasons, never did satisfac-
tory work under the old system are
forming ideas and acquiring a grasp
on subjects which would have left
them cold under a routine of ques-
tions and answers. Girls and boys
alike make rapid progress in socialized
lessons.
The same informality prevails in
the method of changing classes which
obtains in the schools where the high
err grades are taught, and which also
is barometer of the changing stand
ads of student behavior. Less than

muscles, active in some way. Some boys
who really might prefer to sit down
and study after school are deferred
from doing so by the publicly ex-
pressed opinions of their classmates.
They don't want to be called grinds
and they do want to be doing what
the other boys do. Many boy who
has splendid mind and could stand
well in his studies if he wanted to
and would apply himself, gets poor
marks simply because he will not
work.
"In the classroom boys are much

chance that she will turn out to he q
genius than will the freckled boy next
door who doesn't get nearly as good
marks in school.
This is due to a number of things
all of which have been scientifically
studied and charted and which show
beyond doubt, that while, taking it
by and large, girls are better students
than boys, their sex always tends to
keep to the middle of the road and to
succeed up to certain point, while it
is the male who still scars to the
heights of achievement in the world
or plumbs the depths. Statistics show
that there are more geniuses among
men than among women and, by that
same token, more idiots.
And yet, according to DR.. David E
Weglein, Superintendent of Education
in the public schools of Baltimore and
who, in his time, has taught both boys
and girls, there is practically no diff
ference in the native ability of the
two sexes. Boys have just as much
capacity for assimilating knowledge
as girls have. Girls have just as much
power to reason correctly as the So
called stronger sex.
X
Boys can learn to square the n.y.
potenuse and fathom the mysteries OF
pi-and so can their sisters. They
can be taught the location of ancient
trade routes in the Orient and to dis
cuss intelligently the causes of the
Gallo wars-and girls are equally
capable in this respect. They can
master the principles of Archimedes
Law and read Henry Esmond" with
understanding-and again the girls
can keep pace. There is, in fact, nc
subject in the school curriculum in
which one sex cannot make just as
good a showing as the other, but wher
In6 eAdIllS are ONcl SlIlu luS lSpOA tl
come in it is the boys who have to dc
most of the explaining.
In literature girls get much better
marks than the boys do. In mathe-
MATES and in science, subjects in
which boys naturally might be sup
posed to leave the girls far behind, the
girls still are in the lead. In history
a subject which might well appeal tc
both, the averages are closer, but the
girls can point with pride to the fact
that here, too, they actually have the
better of the boys. The only courses
in which they do not excel are, il
short, those in which no girls are en-
rolled.
This condition holds true, Dr.. Veg.
lein said, among all sorts and condi.
lions of public school students, from
those in the kindergarten age to those
in the last year Of their high school
course. DIR. Weglein has on file in his
Office carefully tabulated statistics
which reveal the situation as it exists
in every school in the city. And every
school principal, incidentally, has been
furnished with a copy of these sta
tistics and thus put in possession of
a royal prod with which to urge young
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-11-30

over boys in school, says DR.. Veg
lein, sis, however, only apparent. Boys
could receive just as good marks as
the girls do if they wanted to, but the
trouble is they don't care as much
about good marks as the girls do.
"In any consideration of the reasons
girls make better grades in their stud
les than boys, three things must be
taken into account. The first is ma
tive ability. In this respect tests,
scientifically made, have proved that
one is the equal of the other under the
law of averages. The second factor is
the environment to which they are
subjected. Here is where the great
divergence between the lives of boys
and the lives of girls enters into the
case.
"In spite Of the fact that girls now
are given much greater freedom than
formerly was the case, boys still live
in larger world than girls do. From
the time they are small children they
are kept much less closely under the
parental eye than are girls. They come
into contact with more classes of So
ciety and are confronted with great
er variety of interests than girls.
Their attention is given to things en-
tirely outside their school life.
Girls now participate in athletics,
play on hockey and basketball teams,
swim, play tennis and golf, it is true,
but these activities absorb the atten-
ton of a relatively small proportion
Of all the girls who go to school. When
they are in class comparatively only a
few of them are waiting for the mo-
ment when the final bell rings and
they are free to go out and engage in
one of these sports. Most boys, on
the other hand, are interested in
games. They are great deal more
concerned about baseball or football
CT hockey or lacrosse than they are
about studying their lessons. And
most of those who aren't thinking
about forward passes and home runs
are planning t. meet crony or two
and work on radio set, or tinker with
a family car or to hang around on
street corners until it is time to go
home to dinner.
During the afternoons most boys
don't want to stay in the house. On
the other hand, a great many girls do.
The feminine horizon has widened a
great deal, it is true, but there is still
strong tie between girls and home
life. After school has been dismissed
many girls go either directly to their
own homes or to the homes of some
of their friends and study their les
sons together. The concentration, the
community interest, mutual helpful
ness and the give-and-take of infor-
nation which result go long way
toward enabling the girls to know
most of the answers at examination
time.
"To sit down quietly and study is
irksome to the average boy. He wants
to be moving about, exercising his

a generation ago students were re-
quired to march in line, two by two,
with as little noise as possible, from
one room to another. Talking in
the corridors was not permitted, ex-
cept in whispers during this ceremony.
"This was a wholly unnatural way
to act" said DR.. Weglein in comment
ing upon the new deal in education

when I was a schoolboy which shows

HORSE KILLED
ON ORDERS OF
HUMANE AGENT

Another case of cruelty to horses
was reported today by w. V. Truitt,
acting county humane agent, who
investigated a truckload of horses
at Winterhaven, yesterday.
A truck containing 33 horses
said by Truitt to belong to DR..
w. c. Ross, who conducts a dog
and cat food plant at Los Alamitos,
was noted by Truitt at Winter
haven yesterday morning at $50
while on his way to Iaguna dam
COR a fishing trip.
One of the horses investigation
showed was SO badly injured il
was unable to rise and was being
trampled by the other animals
Truitt ordered the driver to remove
the injured animal and had il
killed.
The driver informed Truitt he
was under orders to bring in the
bodies of any animals which might
die enroute to the plant. This
Truitt would not permit him tc
do and the animal was buried al
the spot where it was killed.
Truitt is starting a drive to round
up all stray dogs and cats in the
city, he announced today, warning
owners of animals to see that they
are complying with the law.

Ask Payment OF
Insurance Claim

A suit on two insurance policies
opened ir Judge McPherrins de-
partment of superior court this
morning involving $4,000, with S. z.
Williams as public administrator,
the plaintiff, and the Occidental
Life Insurance company as deten-
dants. Attorneys for the defendants
are Kendall 3. Perkins and c. b.
Smith, with r. I. French and Iiy-
man Robertson for the plaintiff.
The action. which is to be tried
before a Jury, concerns the payment
of two policies, one fer $4,000, the
other for $1,000, issued by the de-
fendant company to Joe BerchtolG,
who vas found dead February !,
1882. with bullet hcle in mis- head
on a ranch tour miles east and
one mile north of FL Centro.
The plaintiff asks payment Of
these policies on the grounds that
the death CT Berchtold was acct-
dental, the defense will contend
that his demise was the result of
suicide and tnat non-payment Of
the policy is covered by its own
terms regarding suicide.

the case of S. P. Williams against
the Occidental Life Insurance COM
pany scheduled for Judge R. D.

at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon and
