GIRLS NOT AS LAZY AS BOYS Says Expert Who Finds Poor More Satisfied T han Rich. Washington. There are five times as ninny lazy boys as girls. Poor children are more satisfied with their lot th.'ll rich children. Tiie unwanted child unconsciously wants to die. , The curliest memories arc of jmz-.llng tilings. These ar< a few of the recent findings of European psychological laboratories contained in a report on current progress In child studies Issued by the committee on child development of the national research council here. The comparative laziness of boys and girls in school Is the tentative conclusion of the Itussian psy, hologist. I'. I’. Blonsky, from a study of the lazy pupils in u large Moscow public school. Paradoxically enough, he found I hat the boys were lazier because they were naturally more active. Blonsky accepted the teachers' classification of laziness—not necessarily Ids own. out of a total of 1"<I1 children, approximately 20 per cent of the boys and 4 tier cent of the girls were reported as “lazy" by the school aiillioritics. All were given medical extim’nitlions and. contrary to exm •tatlons. wore found exceptionally healthy. Called “Motor Hunger.” Blonsky attributes the differ .nee to ‘‘motor hunger." The children normally are unusually active, bitt have mi patience or tenaciousness. They seek an outlet for their vigor, lint never have been trained to serious endeavor. The children were between four and sixteen years old. When charged witli being lazy Bf> per cent of them denied It. This type, he says, “is harmed by the form of schooling which requires long hours of unbroken mental activity." i Blonsky also reported experli mi nts to determine the earliest I memories of human beings, the in- ; cidents which are recalled in later i years from the threshold of con- ! scions life. Several hundred of ! these early memories were collected from children eleven and twelve years old and from adults. The most remarkable of these, he reports, come from the “labyrinth sense.” a vaguely defined sensation of puzzlement which frightens the child. Antipathies and pathological fears of later life often have their beginning here, Blonsky says. Next in importance, hut coming a little later, he found memories of those experiences causing pain, dislike for the sources of pain often linger- | Ing late in life after the incident was forgotten. Self Preservation Impulse. The great majority of early memories. lie found, were due to the self-preservation impulse, which i lakes precedence over everything ’else in the life of the child. Thus, he found, deep emotional experi- ; cnees in early childhood which are 'not ,-<sociated witli self preservation do not cause memories. The unwelcomed child "dies easily and willingly." according to a report of recent experiments by the Italian psychologist, Sandor I Ferenczi. Such a child, lie says, I senses the aversion or impatience of i parents, witli the result that an “inoorn Instinct” is Intensified. ; Sitcli children as survive infancy, he says, tend to grow up confirmed pessimists, with an easily awakened aversion for life, which may result in suicide. An investigation of clothing preferences by children of various ages was reported by Eve Macaulay in the British Journal of Medical Psychology. From six to nine, 1 she found, they were most impressed by color. Design and deeI oration enter their consciousness ! only from ten to twelve. Modesty I in dress, she reports, enters into , the consideration of the lower social classes, but not so in the higher social strata. The study of the degree of contentment of children in families of various sizes was made by tiie tierman psychologist, A. Busemann, lie found not only that poor children were more contented than rich children, but that the only child 1 was the most dissatisfied of all. Ail the children studied were girls. Most desired a younger sister, as an i object of mothering, or an older brother as a protection or a social asset. The nearer tiie child came to being the last in tiie family, the ; more satisfied she was, Busemann 1 found. He found that dbsatisfaeI tion with the family position ami environment increased with the age of the child. Large Family Effect. “The larger tiie family tiie more 1 satisfied the child usually is." says tiie report. Tiie psychologist explains this as being du;- to sin h factors ns "tlw hick of differentiation of personalities in larger families. I the social adaptation which such families encourage, and the fact that in such families a cttnmraderle may grow up between brothers and sisters. That children of poorer families apparently are more sat- ■ istied with their lot is apparently due to a lower standard and to a 1 lack of differentiation, as there was certainly no more true affection in these families than in the families of wealthier persons." The European laboratories, ns revealed by these abstracts of their 1 experiments, have been busy trying I to shed more light on tiie weird 1 phenomenon of eidetic images I closely approaching hallucinations, 1 in children. The German psycho) | oglst, E. Liefmanti, studying a | group of 834 girls, found the images most frequent in about the twelfth year and very rare between fifteen und seventeen. Although in
