Girls Made Unhappy
CCIIOOI/MISTUESSKS who make ° girls unhappy Ivy forcing them to plav games were attacked by Dr. Leonard Williams at the New Health Society's summer school at Margate. England. "Girls who have no desire to pla.\ such games, nndthnvo no aptitude ioi them." he said, "are cajoled ant! coerced into taking part by teachers, and the girls are made thoroughly unhappy because, being feminine. I hey cannot adapt themselves l< these unsuitable rough-and-tumbles.'•" Dr. Williams said the cultivation oi such incitements to personal combat developed that part of the suprarenal gland which preside,! over the combative element in a person's character. Dr. Williams emphasised the in /iuence of glands on character generally. Shyness, lie said, was caused by iv particular formation of the adrenal glands. It had recently been discovered that manganese was closely related to the pituitary gland. When hens were, kept without manganese they lost all, maternal instincts.
