Finds Insanity
In Teachers
Hereditary
BY Brandon Walsh

NEW YORK-Insanity among
school teachers is caused largely
by heredity rather than occupa-
ton, according to an investigation
of the records Of teachers in hos
pitals for mental patients con-
Quoted by DR.. Frances v. Mason
of the New York University School
of Education.
DR.. Mason studied the records
Of 1888 teachers who had been
committed to four hospitals in the
metropolitan area between 1880
and 1880 in part fulfillment of
the requirements for a Phi. D. de-
gree in 1880. The study, released
yesterday, was under the direction
of DR.. Charles E. Benson, profess
Sor of education at New York
University.
"These 1873 teachers seemed
to be maladjuSted not because
they were teachers, but because
Of an inherent, undesirable per-
SOnality makeup. In intelli-
gence the group ranked high,
but in interests, social contacts,
and temperament the group was
Inferior"

Edward left. Then the two girls
rushed up to Kevin's room.
They knocked softly. insist

keyhole: Let your old sweet

He opened the door a crack.
They thrust their shoulders
against the panel, and laughing
burst into the room.

Kathleen flopped down on

room for .Kevin with wide book
shelves in the alcove. a big desk
and deep comfortable chairs.

mountains. Please go on,
Kevin."
"Oh say, did you hear that

daughter. "She certainly didn't
get much out of life."

"It was nothing to the earth

can't imagine"
He tried to follow a dozen diff
ferent shouts, all uttered at the
same moment while Mary made
vain, smiling efforts to fling the
conversation back to Europe.
Kevin looked tired and be-
wildered. He kept wondering
why Janice and Lucy talked so
much and so exictedly about
nothing. Strange how the law
Of heredity works; just chance
whether you get into one family
or another; whether you're
born a genius or a dumb-bell.
Or is it?
"I want to give you a din

Edward roared: "Are the chill

In her indignation, Janice

syrup on a waffle. The waffle,
the Syrup-jug, knife, fork and
and butter dumped on the
floor. The poor child screamed
in self-defenSe: "You made me

and were mopping the table at
once.

But now they didn't like each
other. Janice was SNUG, tire
some, kitchen-minded, in her
brothers opinion. Whenever she
came to the house, Edward hurt
her.
After all the love you lavish
on them, Mary thought, and all
the hope-to have them flying
at each other! 1t makes life so
futile.
Janice moved her place so
that she was imme diately within
the charmed circle. She leaned
over and smiled in Kevin'S face:

you work very hard?" Before
he had chance to answer:

cheeks. He looked so strong
and tall: not much older.
