(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 29.
Every child comes into the world
with a set of tendencies transmitted
through the ages from two Ions
lines of ancestors, and a child is
largely what ho is because of his
family, sex or race, according to Dr.
Alga Briilgman of Stanford Univer
sity, who addressed the American
Medical convention in its seventy
fourth annual meeting here today.
Or. Bridgman said:
"Education may do much to de
velop small or latent powers, 'but na
ture has set definite limits for each
individual 'beyond which he cannot
go. It is futile to try to develop
qualities of which there is no inher
ent trace and foolish to believe that
tastes and abilities not ingrained are
created. But few human beings
come near to the best use of all their
faculties.
"The mind of the child differs
from that of the adult quite as much
and in much the same way aa his
body differs from that of the adult-
- Certain traits are his at birth and
are modifiable only to a slight de
gree. Changes fct good or ill can
be wrought in his mind, which are
quite as marked as are the changes
, sometimes seen in the bodies of cer
tain primitive people who would
mould heads and alter features after
a marvelous fashion.
"It is the function, then, of the
environment to select and stimulate
desirable qualities and to control and
direct all. To educate a child in the
., true sense, it is imperative to un
derstand his native equipment and
them to know all the laws by which
modification may take place.
. , "The imagination of a chijd is an
important element in his make-up
:nd is often misunderstood. Chil
dren's mental images arc vivid and
'real, and are apt to contain a large
creative element. The child from
.three to seven may have a rich imag
inary life, which tends to become
moro matter of fact as knowledge of
, the limits of the possible, and con-
tact with other individuals, increases
Some children find it difficult to dis
tinguish percepts from images.
'Hence the fantastic tales of adven
ture which children tell, before ex
perience has taught them to distin
' guish between the possible and the
impossible.
"Much of the lying of children Is
due to this confusion and after a tale
has been told and retold, the child
himself may be quite unable to 'dis-
. tinguish the remembered from the
imagined. Here his emotions read-
- ily. help him to make things bo as
he would like them to be. Imagin
ation often gives the lonely child
imaginary companions, which may
become so real as to interfere with
V his normal associations with other
children, and to deprive him of the
give and take involved in the enjoy
ment of the companionship cf actual
children.
"A child, though hnnnd by the lim-
its of his inherited nature, presents
ninny individual features, which are
characteristic of childhood. It is the
business of child psychology to study
these features and to seek out all
laws governing their appearance and
development, and: of education to
stimulate desirable traits, and to con
trol and, in some cases, to transform
or suppress undesirable ones "
Seek Accurate Data on
Wind Pressure on Sails
BOSTON. June 29. Important
chmiKi's in the ai t of mill cutting may
result from expuriuu'lUs being con

radical alterations In hull designs have
resulted from years of experiments
und measurements of resistances, and
that the art of still makine hud not
kept pace with bout construction, a
smull Kroup of ' yachtsmen about a
year ago begun to discuss tho effect
of wind on sails.
After Investigation they came to the
conclusion i Dial no accurate duta on
the subject had ever been compiled
and thut "rule of thumb" mctholB
still prevailed. Notuble results In tile
study of the effects of forces on aoi J-
planu the effects or forces on ttirpiane
wings were achieved by Professor
Warner In tho course or the war, drtl
to him the yachtsmen brought their
problem.
H consented to undertake a study
of tho question and the small boat
Pnpoose was commissioned lor '.n
work. Tho task is still In Its Infancy,
ltcsults obtained must be assembled
and studied. Long series of ouservj.
tlons at different wind velocities and
different angles of sailing must in.
obtalned and plotted. A year B pro

mapped out. ' "

British Unemployment Decreases
LONDON, June 27. ( AP) A fall
in the number of unemployed c-n May
14 to 1,1(8.600 from 1,218,267 April
30, is considered by officials of the!
Ministry of Labor to be significant!
as indicating a steady revival in!
trade.
It is pointed out that since the be
ginning of April there has been a
succession of weekly declines in the
number of unemployed, and the state
cf the various trades gives hope that
tho corner has been turned.
