(The Neighbour, p. 130)."-"National Welfare and National Decay," p. 75.
“Mr. K. T. Waugh applied a number of tests to students in four colleges of British India (Lucknow), one Chinese college, and some American colleges. The tests were largely concerned with memory, and were not well suited to test intellectual capacity. They revealed only slight differences, which were slightly in favour of the Indian students-except in one quality, namely, power of concentrating the attention. In this the Chinese exactly equalled the Americans ; the Indians fell decidedly short of them. The facts that in other tests the Indians equalled or excelled the Americans, and that in two tests, which measure the power of concentration of attention, the Chinese equalled, while the Indians fell far short of the Americans-these facts inspire confidence in the objectivity of this result."-Ibid. pp. 83-84.
“ We have the curious fact that the blood of various races shows chemical reactions peculiar to each race. As Prof. Ripley says ; 'The persistence of ethnic peculiarities through many generations is beyond question."--Ibil. p. 146.
