DON' roN, "THE HOME OF T : CLIMATE'S EFFECT ON GROWTH. I * i Scientist Concludes Maturity of Child I Not Reached Earlier in Tropics. t Children do not reach maturity in j . tropical climate any quicker than in ; [ temperate climates. This remark-j able conclusion, which runs contrary! ^ to a widely held belief, has been! , reached by Prof. Franz Boas, profes-1 , sor of anthropology at Columbia Uni- j versity, says the New York Evening1 Post. Prof. Boas, fresh from parti-j cipation in a scientific survey of Por-1 ^ to Rico, made his report to the New i 11 ' | York Academy of Sciences, which un-j '' dertook the investigation. > "The first of our anthropological inquiries had for its object the study * of conditions of growth of the body in a tropical environment," says' ' ?TOI. 150as. II IS generally aosum- i ' ed that heat has the efiect of acceler- j ating the physiological development j ' so that in warm climates children j " reach maturity earlier than in tem-1 perate zones. Our inquiries do not j i substantiate this view. The material! ) has not yet been collated, but from | i the general character of the data I j i venture to say that they will be of j the very greatest importance for i practical measures relating to the , hygiene of childhood and for the I management of schools. "The data thus obtained give also , valuable information on the type ot! Porto Ricans, and necessitated; studies among the adults. Material j ' for these has been obtained particu- j larly among the soldiers of the Porto | ' Rican regiment, and the success of j this work is entirely due to the lib- j eral assistance of Major Basil H. j ' Dutchem. It is not possible yet to j speak of the results of this work j with certainty, but it would seem that a remarkably strong environ-! ' mental influence upon the racial type] of man may be observed. If this] should prove to be the case, we j should have succeeded in establish-! ing a fact of great scientific import-] ance." Prof. Boas's report also covers an | inquiry into the folk-lore of the Porto Ricans, and researches into the ? anHnnitfpc nf thft island. Of this ; work he says: "The collection of folk-lore in Porto Rico was entrusted to Dr. J. Alden Mason, who solved his task with great skill and success. He has ac cumulated many hundreds of folk tales, riddles, rhymes, ballads, and songs which will give us a clear in; sight into the traditional literature of the island.

It should have an influence similar to that Nof the European fairy tales collected a century ago, which have been a source of pleasure and instruction for millions. "The archaeological work has been carried on by Dr. H. K. Haeberlin, Robert T. Aitken, and Dr. J. Alden Mason. Dr. Haeberlin investigated | with great care one stone enclosure j (juego di bolas) in the Jobo district and a cave near by. The latter contained some ceremonial objects ^nd a small number of buria. In the cave were found large numbers of bones of an extinct rodent that may have been used for food. Messrs. Mason and Aitken excavated a large cave in Caguana, Utuado, which proved to, be the burial ground of a ancient j community. Here also a large num-j ber of bones of extinct rodents were j found. At the foot of the hill in! which the cave is situated were j found terraces and enclosures, evidence of the existence of an ancient j village, to which undoubtedly the; cave belonged. "After the cave had been cleared out completely, Messrs. Aitken and Mason took up a preliminary investigation of a village site at Capa, lo- j cated by the writer, that seemed of: particular interest. For the pres-j ent half-year the committee has con-' tributed considerable funds for re-' search at this site, which proves to j be by far the most important of all j archaeological localities so far inves-: tigated in Porto Rico. Dr. Mason; has been carrying on work there throughout this half-year, with tne exception of a period of about four weeks. He closed his field work on j the 15th of December, although not more than about one-third of the j whole site has been excavated. An | accurate survey of the site is being j made. "The locality seems to be so im-j portant that it ought to be preserved, j and I trust that the government of I Porto Rico may find it passible to; protect it temporarily by detailing a( I policeman to watch it, and perma-1 nentlv by acquiring the site as a1 national monument." A scientific survey of Porto Rico I was inaugurated by the council of j the academy at its regular meeting j in November, 1913.

The endeavor received the cooperation of the American . Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Garden, and the scientific departments of Columbia University, New York University, and other institutions. The Insular government of Porto Rico included an item of $5,000 for the survey in its budget for 1914-15 and again in the budget ! for 1915-16, and it has been requester? te nrmHrmo this snhsiriv fnr three j VU V V/ VVAAVAA&UV v A* A KS v. v W years longer. ! The committee of the council I charged with the direction of the sur' vey consisted of Profs. Britton, Crampton, Kemp, Boas, and Poor. The , preliminary reconnaissances were made by Profs.. Britton and Crampton during the winter and early spring of 1914, and the work has since progressed continuously, in the field and in the laboratory. Collections of geological palaeontalogical, botanical, zoological and archaeological specimens, aggregating many thousands, have already been brought together, and, after being studied, are being divided among the cooperating institutions and sets of duplicates are being returned to Porto Rico to form a natural history museum there. lie ,0-Jl Ioonsuioaiau ri A Masterly Drama B Based on a Man's I Dual Personality I Directed by George 6 L.
