A survey of twenty-seven boys and twenty-nine girls, shows arithmetic stilTis preferabale to girls by 15 to 8 score, but that boys like fairy tales while not a single girl signified this desire. In most groups and ages the boys lead in choice of swimming as a favorite sport. Girls generally were most inclined toward books and reading. Only one boy and two girls said they enjoyed biographies of great men and only one liked war stories. Fishing comes high among the likes of 11-year-old boys, but not a single girl chose it. At this age, preferments for basketball, baseball and football are about two to one in the boys’ favor. Boys did not like to travel, while girls expressed a desire for it/ Desire for reading is about even at this age among boys and girls. On reaching the age of 12, boys who like arithmatic exceed . the girls, and fishing still is the preferred male sport.
