Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with

child urinates too of teu, if the unne scalds

age when it should be able to control the

cited boy in the United States toiled
entirely to become so notable m any dr
pertinent of nsefuiaem and reputable
endeavor as to attract the attention of
the Who's Who editon, and that only
34 self-taught man succeeded.
3. That a hoy with only a common-
school education had, in round numbers,
» chance in 3,000.
8. That a high-srltool training increas
ed tills rhance nearly twenty-two times.
That college education added gave
the young man about ten time* the
cliauceofa high-school buy and two
hondred times the cbanco of tlie boy
whose training stopped with the com
mon-school.
Tliat the A. it. graduate was pre
eminently success!al aud that tho self-
educated man was inconspicuous.
From tlie nature of tho case it cannot
be claimed that these classiticatloiis are
exact, but they aru based upon the fa!
lost statistics ever obtained, aud the
necessary estimates have been made by
government experts. It is also doubt-
true that other circumstances con
tributed to tho success of these trained
mon, but after all reasonable allowan
ces are made tlie ilgnres force tlie con
elusion that tlie more school-training
the American boy of that period had
