Genius Now Flowers
Early; Fleets Faster,
Prof. Lehman Finds

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.-Genius is blooming
younger and fading quicker these
days, on the face of findings by Prof
Harvey c. Lehman of Ohio Uni
versity.
Writing IN Science, Prof. Lehman
states that in majority of scientific
and cultural fields investigated
modern leaders have made their
big discoveries at earlier averages
than leaders in previous eras.
Only among inventors, patholog-
lists and economists was no such
trend noticeable. The trend was
evident among writer's, educators
physicists, mathmeticians anc
workers in half dozen other fields
One explanation may be that
moderns rush into print more
quickly with their discoveries. An
other is that moderns have at their
disposals better research tools and
techniques than their grandfathers
Prof. Lehmans charts showed also
that the younger generation, making
or printing its discoveries earlier in
life, tended to fall off in production
OF Ideas sooner than their sires.
