And boys have It all over the girls In explslnlng causes of such things as natural phenomena, Miss Marquis disclosed. In her work at the University of Min nesota Jnsltute of Child Welfare. Miss Marquis said, she found that most of the results of casual reason ing In children are mora dependent upon experience and training than they are upon development factors. She ascribed as the reason for this better scientific thinking among Am erican children, the "scientific tradi tion of this couple having permeated through society." Some 700 children ranging In age from eight to J years old were ques tioned on the causes of natural phe nomena to guage their development of reasoning. They were asked such questions as "What makes the wind blow," "Whet causes thunder," "Why does a candle go out when a Jar la placed over the flame." Most chlldron, she reported, gave material on naturalistic causes as to the answers. Conversely Investigators found chil dren of other countries gave many "pre-loglcal" replies, or explanations In which somo spirit or force was cre ated In the child's mind to explain what happened. Only 13 per cent of the American children tested. Miss Marquis reported, even at eight years old. gave that type of answer. Miss Ethlyn V. Hurd. also of the Minnesota Instlute of Child Welfare, announced a new method devised' by the lnstltua by which children as young as two years old could be test ed satisfactorily for color-blindness.
