TheValueofLaterChildren inFamilies

(JamesJ.Walsh,M.D.,Ph.D.,in-America.")

TheAssociatedPresscarriedacable despatchfromEnglandtheotherday summingupbrieflyadiscussionheld beforetheBritishMedicalAssociation' astothementalcapacityofearlierand laterchildreninfamilies.Dr.Robert Hutchinsonwhocomesofaverywell. knownEnglishmedicalfamilythathas mademanycontributionstomedical science,declaredthatmostofthedefectivementalitywhichheobservedin childrenoccurredamongthefirstborn offamilies.Hesuggestedthatit wouldseemasthoughnaturehasto acquirepractise,asitwere,inthemat terofbirthandthatthelaterborn childreninthefamiliesweremuch molikelytobepossessedofvigor- iintellectsandtheself-controlwhich goewiththem,thantheearlierbore ofthesameparents.

AlmostneedlesstosaythisdeclarationseemedtobeoffargreaterimportancetotheEnglishpeoplethan tous.TheEnglishlawofprimogeniturebywhichthefirstbornsons inheritthebulkoftheestateandthe titlesoftheirfatherhasbeenthelaw ofthelandformanycenturiesandcontinuesstilltodominateEnglishlife.It hasoftenbeennotedthattheeldest sonofthesetitledfamiliesisnotthe mostintelligentandthatindeed youngersonsoftenprovetohavemore mentalcapacityandcharacter.This hasseemedasaruleinthepasttobe merelyanexemplificationofthelawof averageandthatuncertaindistributionofpersonalqualitieswhichhasso oftenbeennoted."Whyonehasmore, anotherless,notoursbutthineto know,"a'Kempissaid,some500 yearsago.Oflateyears,however, therehasbeenspecialattentionpaid tothisquestionsofarasitisinfluencedbyphysicalfactors,andtheconsequenceofspecialstudyandresearch hasbeenarepudiationfromthenaturalstandpointofthevalueofthelaw ofprimogeniture.Thesestudieshave suppliedanexplanationinbiological termsofsomeofthefailuresoffirst bornsonsinthematterofintelligence, andespeciallytheirlackofself-controland_theirinabilitytotakethe placeinlifethattheirstatusamong thenobilitywouldseemtodemandof them.

ThesubjecthasaveryspecialinterestforushereinAmerica,andindeed forallthemoderncivilisednations becauseoftheverycommonreduction inthenumberofchildreninfamilies whichhasoccurredduringthepresent generation.Thissociologicaldevelopmenthasleftthecivilisedworldtoa greatextentwithoutwhateveradvantagemightbederivedfromhaving'a fairlygoodproportionatleastofthe increaseinpopulationrecruitedfrom amongthelaterbornofthefamilies. Itveryoftenhappensthatthereisbut asinglesoninthefamilyofthemoderntimeandonhimmustdependthe carryingonnotonlyofthefamily amebutalsoofthefamilycharacter andthespecialtraitsofintelligencefor whichithasbeennoted.Whilethis isoccurringthereisaverydefiniteimpressiongrowingeverstrongerinthe mindsofthosewhohavedevoted muchtimetothestudyandobservationofchildrenthattheearlierchildreninfamilieshaveasarulelessintellectuAlcapacityanddistinctlymore instabliityofcharacterthanthosewho arebornlater.Thiswillnotbeexemplifiedveryofteninspecificinstances, butwherelargegroupsaretakenand averagessecuredagrowingstabilityof characterandanincreasedmental capacity,arenotedafterthethirdor fourthchildinthefamily,thatwould seemtoindicatethatthereisanaturallawinthismatter.

Dr.RobertHutchinson,whoisa thoroughlyconservativemedicalscientist,goessofarastosaythattwothirdsofthementallydeficientchildrenthathehashadtodealwithin hispractisewerefirst'bornchildren. Thiswouldseemtobeanunusually unfavourableexperienceinthisregard, emphasisedveryprobablyduringrecentyearsinEnglandbythefactthat war-childrenandespeciallyfirstchildrenbornduringandjustafterthe warhadnotasfavourableconditipns forprenataldevelopmentascomesto mostchildren.Notinfrequentlywar motherswerenotnourishedproperly. andevenwhentheyhadsufficientfood therewasnotthatvarietythatisso importantforroundingoutthediet.

Discountingallthis,however,the basicideapresentedbyDr.Hutchinsonofthelessermentalcapacityonthe averageofearlierchildrenoffamilies hasbeenconfirmedfrommanysources. Ithasevenbeensuggestedthatthe reasonwhycivilisationisundergoing seriousdeteriorationatthepresent timeisthattheaveragementalcapacityofhumanityisnotsufficientlyhigh tocontrolproperlythegreatforces whichscientificdiscoveriesduringthe pasthundredyearshaveputintothe handsofmen.Iftheearlierchildren infamiliesarenotsointellectuallywell developedorendowedasthelaterchildren,theAllmanraceto-dayismissing thecontributionsthatmightbemade toitbythelatterchildrenoffamilies, sinceonlyrarelyarefamiliesnumerousenoughtoprovidethesevaluable factorsforhumanity'sprogress.It hasbeensuggestedtoothattheabsenceoftheselater,morestableand betterdevelopedchildren,isoneof theprincipalcausesfortheunrestand disquietandthemanydisturbingconditionswhicharenotedespecially amongtheyoungergenerationatthe preesnttime. Theremaybesomehintatleastof exaggerationinthissuggestion,forit isinsocialproblemsparticularlythat peoplearelikelytobecarriedaway bothintheirdiagnosisandtreatment ofsocialills,butthereundoubtedly seemstobeagoodfoundationforDr. Hutchinson'sdecisionandforsomeof theconclusionsfromit.Itiswell kdownamongthosewhohavemuchto dowithchildrenthatsuccessivechildrenuptothesixthorseventhina familyareasaruleprogressivelyheavieratbirththantheirpredecessors.

InIreland,westillhavetheproud privilegeofprofessingtheCatholic faith,butthatprivilegemaybelost throughourownfault.England, Scotland,Wales,Norway,Sweden; DenmarkandNorthernGermany,were Catholiclandsuntilafewcenturiesago.
