REPORTS INTELLIGENCE OF
FLAT-CHESTED PEOPLE
l
I
Minneapolis Survey Also Discov
ers This Condition is Not a
Sign of Tuberculosis
(By The Associated Press)
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug.—If one
has a flat chest it is possible that
he is more intelligent than his
full-chested brother, it appears
from a recent report by Dr. A.S.
Weisman of the University of
Minnesota.
Dr. Weisman previously stud
ied the contour of normal and
tuberculous chests, in which he
found that, contrary to previous
conclusions, flat chests were not
an evidence of tuberculosis but
that deep-chested persons were
more prone to the disease. Know
ing by prevous reports and tabu
lations that, as a general rule,
physical well-being went with
intelligence, he made the present
study to prove it more specific
ally.
In this report he tabulates very
carefully data procured from the
records of 14,844 Minneapolis
school children, aged from 5 to
17. This number consisted of
7740 boys and 7104 girls. He us
ed the grades given by their
teachers as the basis for their in
telligence. A was the highest, C
next and those in the F group
included all below C and the sub
normals. By careful tabulations
of chest measurements, heights,
weights and the grades given by
the teachers, he found that the
F group had the deep chest. Af
ter the age of 12 in the girls and
lOVfe in the boys this was espec
ially noticeable. The flat-chest
ed children were also taller and
heavier than the deepchested.
