FIRST 801 BABIES
'' FOUND INFERIOR
Scientist Urges Parents to Rear
Families of Five or More
Children
Washington, June 24. — First-born
children are on the average inferior,
physically, mentally and morally, to
the brothers and sisters who follow
them.
Such is the conclusion of Professor
Karl Pearson of the University of
I.ondon. His statistics, covering many
thousands of cases, are published to
day in the July number of the Journal
THURSDAY EVENING,
of Heredity, organ of the American
Genetic Association of this city.
Professor Pearson his dis
covery when studying the population
of a sanitorlum for consumptives,
where he found that there were many
more first-born than theer should be,
if tuberculosis selected Its victims at
random. On the other hand, the later
born children were fewer In number
than was expected.
Since then he has applied elaborate
statistical analysis to data of many
kinds. He finds that flrst-born chil
dren show the highest percentage of
still births, and are most delicate dur
ing childhood. Further, they weigh
less and are shorter at birth, than are
later-born children.
Study of the inmates of homes for
the feeble-minded and insane asylums
shows him that flrst-born childern are
there in disproportionate numbers.
Criminality appears also to be a
prerogative of the eldest members of
the family. Statistics of English pris
ons revealed 717. flrst-born, where
calculation led him to expect only
557.
Epilepsy, albinism and congenital
cataract are likewise studied, and in
each case an abnormally large num
ber of the affected persons are found
to be first-born.
This inferiority, as brought to light
in statistics, is partly due to the fact
that many weak parents die after hav
ing only a single child. Such a child
of course counts as a first-born, and
naturally inherits some of the weak
ness of his parents; but his Inferiority
is due rather to the bad stock than to
the fact that he is a flrst-born.
But aside from this. Professor Pear
son holds that the flrst-born are, on
the whole, actually handicapped. This
may be partly due to the youth of
their parents, and partly to physiolog
ical conditions in the mother.
Believing that the eldest children
are thus handicapped, Professor Pear
son sees great danger to the race In
the present tendency to make families
consist of two children. »
In a normal family of about five,
the first-born only make up one-fifth
RXJUUSBURG TELEGRAPH
of the population, and their Inferiority
is swamped. But in many classes of
society nowadays, the number of off
spring is limited to two. Professor J.
MoKeen Cattell of Columbia University
has shown this to be particularly true
of American men of science.
Under these circumstances, the first
born make up half, Instead of one
fifth of the population, and their in
feriority must necessarily be a much
more serious menace to the efficiency
of the race.
In the interest of the race, therefore
Professor Pearson declares that par
ents of eugenically superior stock
ought if possible to rear a family of
i five or more children.
