Smartest Come From Small Families. 1)<? not pity the only child. He has more brains than children with many brothers and sisters, according; to conclusions reached by Dr. Hornell Hart as a result of a study of *>00 I families in a typical Iowa city. The f results have been reported to tho j Iowa chihl research station at Iowa j City, Iowa. Children from largo 1 families are handicapped mentally* i morally and socially, Dr. Hart de clares. In a representative sample of chil ? dren from practically completed fam j ilies in Davenport, Iowa, the ability J of the children, as determined by mental tests, was found generally to ! run higher the fewer the number of surviving children. Children with no living brothers or sisters tend to have mental test quotients about 15 points higher than children with 11 living brothers* and sisters, and the average mental test ability decreases fairly steadily as the size of the families increases. "School progress, that is in excess of the amount to be expected from mental teet ability, is at a maximum if? families of four or five living chil dren, and at a minimum in families J of 10 children or over," I)r, Hart say ?. "The difference between the progress j in school of these two groups is such . that the average child in the very j large family loses about one-third of ? a year through conditions other than j mental test ability- associated wijh i large families. "The larger the family the greater, the tendency is for the children to ? leave school at the earliest possible, j age. "Of families with seven or ihore living children, 1-1 per' cent are chron ically dependent, as compared with 3 per cent among families with six children or less. "As far as can be ascertained from teacher's ratings, children in large families are less energetic, less kind, less sincere and less honest than children from small families. This conclusion is fairly certain for energy, but not so decisive for the other characteristics. "Contrary to general impression, children without brother^ and sisters compare very favorably with children having brothers or sisters. Birth order, as far as it was studied in this inquiry, appears to have very little significance."? Kan-as City i Times. !>r.

The letter by Mr. Mills should stet at rest a false rumor put out to injure me. The letter is as follows: "Mr. S. H. Mickle, Camden, S. C., Dear Sir: I bog to state to you that no road machine of any kind what ever has ever been paid for by Ker shaw County for Lancaster County, or for any other purpose other than service on the roads of Kershaw County.
