POOR BABE
No fewer than five eminent scientists ace devoting their attention to Harriet Kall, now eleven weeks old, studying her every move, emotion, and reaction as a baby has never been studied before, says an English exchange. Every crow, howl, and gurgle, every thrusting of a rose-petal fist into one eye, every grasping for a bright-col-oured toy is to be analysed, dissected, and meticulously charted, and from the observation of her gestures and , emotions discoveries are confidently expected of far-reaching importance to babies all over the world. Professor Watson will confine himself principally to a study of Harriet’s serious emotion, Professor Holt to her physiological aspects, and Dr. Kallen to her affinity with the embryonic world of animals and savage races, whi'e her mother will specialise on the causes and consequences of Harriet's laughter. She is to be the world’s first completely “psychologised” baby, and the intensive study of her is expired to last for a number of years.
