YOU HAVE LEARNED TO READ 
 
 The twenty-six letters in the alphabet 
 many years ago, but have you learned the 
 forty-three letters or characters in the 
 alphabet of Human Nature? 
 
 The letters in our Language arrang- 
 ed into words either spoken or written, 
 express one's thoughts to others. 
 
 Fortunately for us ordinary mortals, 
 Science has discovered that every charac- 
 teristic in the brain of the human (also 
 the animal) is distinctly represented upon 
 the outside of the cranium, the face and 
 the entire form, which constitute the al- 
 phabet of character, and disposition. 
 
 As an illustration, we will take two 
 six and eight year old girls of different 
 families. We first use the alphabet of 
 language to distinguish them apart when 
 speaking of them — Henrietta and Theresa 
 — the former having nine letters or char- 
 acters to spell her name and the latter 
 only seven. 
 
 We have learned the shape and size of 
 these characters so thoroughly that we 
 know the entire combination and ar- 
 rangement of them at a glance, producing 
 the distinctive names. 
 
And so it is in the alphabet of Heads 
 and Faces with the forty-three characters 
 or faculties ; we learn their shape and size 
 and location as easily as the alphabet of 
 language. 
 
 Henrietta has very large faculties of 
 Tune and Time — a bulging out of the 
 temples just above the eye which any one 
 can easily see at a glance and it tells you 
 that she is all music — wants to get upon 
 the high stool and play all over the keys 
 at the piano ; is humming tunes constant- 
 ly and dancing around the house ; in later 
 years if allowed to devote her time to 
 music, will compose her own music. 
 
 Theresa has very large faculties of 
 Causality and Ideality and you see a 
 bulging of the forehead in the upper part, 
 and of the head a little farther outward 
 and higher up near the hair-line ; these 
 tell you that she likes to read books and 
 stories, especially poetry, and likes to get 
 up plots of her own (and no doubt will 
 later in life) and she likes to think and 
 study out all the reasons of things. 
 
 You can now see how easily it is to 
 learn the alphabet of human faces and 
 heads and also must see that it is equally 
 so necessary to know one alphabet as the 
 other, in order to be prepared for person- 
 al improvement, correct education of 
 children and the preservation of our own 
 interests in the association with all kinds 
 of other human beings. 
 
Learn how to 
 
 "See for Yourself' ' 
 
 what is underneath the cranium of every- 
 one of your friends and associates. 
 
 Nothing is easier or more simple. 
 
 We can show you the "know how" 
 to get at the real inmost self of every per- 
 son on sight, by the so-called " bumps/ ' 
 " flats' ' and "hollows" on the head, and 
 by the form and expression of the face, 
 so plainly in sight upon every human be- 
 ing that exists. 
 
 We so simplify our classifications, 
 confining them to the ordinary every-day 
 incidents, that anyone, without previous 
 knowledge of the science, can easily 
 grasp every phase about it. 
 
 EVERYBODY CAN KNOW HOW TO: 
 
 Choose the most profitable vocation 
 for themselves; 
 
 Determine the character and ability 
 of would-be employees on sight; 
 
 Improve the undesirable faculties in 
 children ; 
 
 Choose a reliable partner in a busi- 
 ness venture; 
 
 Increase one's ability to gain more 
 salary ; 
 
 Select a companion in matrimony 
 who is in vibratory harmony with one's 
 own peculiarities. 
 
 Every distinctive faculty of self is 
 plainly indicated upon the outside of the 
 head, face or form. The symbol may be 
 
in the face, in the walk, in the clothes, in 
 the voice or in the hand-shake, or all to- 
 gether. 
 
 It is there, scattered all over the en- 
 tire figure, plainly in sight, if you know 
 just where and how to look for it. 
 
 This is what we tell you in plain, un- 
 derstandable language. 
 
 If all the people in this world 
 could "see" what is plain to see, 
 
 What a very different world 
 
 all this wondrous world would b<}. 
 
 VIBRATORY CORRESPONDENCE 
 WITH INDIVIDUALS. 
 
 No one should ever make an import- 
 ant move, where it has anything to do 
 with others, without first determining 
 if the other person is on the same plane 
 of vibration as he himself is; otherwise, 
 such a combination would invariably end 
 disastrously, and this part of our exis- 
 tence is too uncertain in length to waste 
 any valuable time on such experiments, 
 when they can be so easily avoided by 
 our way of " seeing for yourself.' ' 
 Unhappiness Without Same Vibration. 
 To explain vibration more explicitly : 
 Everything in nature vibrates, or, in 
 other words, has motion. Some kinds of 
 wood can be seen to vibrate, with the 
 aid of a very strong microscope, but it 
 vibrates so slowly that it seems to the 
 naked eye as a solid. Water vibrates 
 much more rapidly than wood, so much 
 more that it becomes a liquid to our phys- 
 
 8 
 
ical vision, and transparent because its 
 vibratory motion is too rapid for us to 
 catch it. Air is still more transparent 
 than water, in fact the vibration is so 
 rapid that it becomes invisible to our 
 physical eye, therefore it must be under- 
 standable that any two substances that 
 are not vibrating exactly alike will not 
 mingle. 
 
 Air with its invisible rapidity of vi- 
 bration, Mall not mix with water because 
 of its much slower vibration, as for exam- 
 ple: to blow air into water through a 
 tube, the air will rise to the surface in- 
 stantly, illustrating that there is no vi- 
 bratory correspondence between air and 
 water, because on a different plane of vi- 
 bration. To return to our comparison of 
 two individuals, if one has a very coarse 
 organism, low ideals, low mentality, it is 
 an impossibility for that one to be on the 
 same high plane of vibration as the other 
 one with fine organism, high ideals and 
 high mentality, therefore, there would be 
 no communion of interests, no vibratory 
 correspondence, and never any happiness 
 between them if they were unlucky en- 
 ough to "go it blind" in matrimony or 
 in a business venture. 
 
 With very little study you begin to 
 notice every face you see and, before you 
 are aware of the fact, you will know 
 more of the characteristics of a person 
 on sight than they do themselves in all 
 the many years of their life. 
 
It is so very interesting after you get 
 a little insight of it that the more you 
 read faces the more you want to, and 
 there is never any end to the different 
 surprises you will experience as you ad- 
 vance in the knowledge of Cranioseopy. 
 (Pronounced cra-ni-os-co-py.) 
 
 You will not wonder then why there 
 are so many mistakes in one's own opin- 
 ion of casual acquaintances; misunder- 
 standings in intimate companionship; 
 misfits in business partnerships, and de- 
 plorable disillusionments in wedded life. 
 And to think that every one of these 
 troubles could have been avoided with a 
 very little of this special knowledge 
 that has been so woefully neglected by 
 everybody ever since the science was dis- 
 covered an hundred years ago ! 
 
 If whoever reads this book sees no 
 truth in what we claim, we can only pity 
 such understanding. 
 
 We know nothing whatever about 
 "fortune telling". Unfortunately, this 
 science has been often considered in that 
 mystic class, on account of the mind 
 faculties, being invisible of themselves, 
 but few have realized that every faculty 
 of the mind is indicated on the outside of 
 the head and face, where everybody can 
 see for themselves, if they learn by ob- 
 servation and reasonable study as they 
 have already learned other things within 
 their years of understanding. 
 
 10 
 
To open up the facts by demonstra- 
 tion and illustration in a convincing way 
 is the intention of this book, in pocket 
 size, handy for ready reference at any 
 time or place. 
 
 DIVORCE COURTS. 
 
 The records of the Divorce Courts of 
 our land and the courts of Domestic Rela- 
 tions ought to be sufficient proof to every- 
 body that there is something radically 
 wrong with our institution of marriage, 
 and as none of the lawmakers, as yet, has 
 ever accomplished any perceptible im- 
 provement, we assert that our way is the 
 only indisputable and sane solution of 
 the problem, and we also claim that 
 nothing could be more detrimental to 
 society than the union in marriage of two 
 people having mind faculties that are 
 positively out of harmony with each oth- 
 er and to bring new lives into the world 
 under these lamentable conditions. 
 
 We hold that it is a sin, if there ev- 
 er was a sin, for people to make their 
 matrimonial selection in a haphazard, 
 snapshot, by-guess fashion, as has al- 
 ways been done ever since human beings 
 existed. 
 
 What we do is to prove to you that 
 you can "see for yourself" just as posi- 
 tively and accurately as we do ourselves, 
 if any certain person would or would not 
 make a partner in business or in matri- 
 mony that would be suitable to one's 
 
 11 
 
own peculiar characteristics. Such 
 
 knowledge may save you thousands of 
 dollars in business, and thousands of 
 heartaches in matrimony. 
 
 PEOPLE IN LOVE. 
 
 People "in love" usually just go 
 blindly along, dreaming of nothing but 
 the other " sweet' ' self, and utterly ob- 
 livious to all the character "bumps," 
 "flats" and "hollows" that are plainly 
 in sight upon each other's head, seemingly 
 waiting in silent appeal, for an intelli- 
 gent comparison of individual mind fac- 
 ulties, before any serious affairs are 
 thought of. 
 
 This, the most important of all ven- 
 tures in life, and which should require 
 the most painstaking investigation, is us- 
 ually relegated to the lottery plan of se- 
 lection, and consequently often ends up 
 in the "waste basket" of human exper- 
 ience. 
 
 Wake up ! ! ! ! All you engaged and 
 want-to-be-engaged couples ! ! ! 
 
 RIGHTS OF PEOPLE TO 
 COMPARE CHARACTERISTICS. 
 
 Each one of you has a perfect right 
 to "see for yourself" if the other one's 
 natural characteristics are in perfect har- 
 mony, and on the same plane of vibra- 
 tion, as your own. 
 
 12 
 
If such a comparison proves to be 
 "out of sorts' ' then and there is the time 
 and place to end the intimacy. 
 
 As one example, if the woman's head 
 was dominated by the elemental facul- 
 ties — Nos. 5, 16, 30, 19, 21, 7, 8, 10, 13, 
 24, (high above the ears) and the man's 
 head — low above the ears with Nos. 25, 
 33, 40, 41, 17, highly developed, there 
 never could be one moment of true hap- 
 piness after the honeymoon, although 
 before marriage and during courtship, 
 a more attentive and considerate lover 
 could hardly be thought of. 
 
 HOW TO SEE ONE'S 
 OWN "BUMPS." 
 
 To "see" underneath your own 
 cranium to determine your own good and 
 bad qualities, get between two or three 
 mirrors that are so arranged as to give 
 you a direct view of every part of your 
 head and face — front view, back view, 
 side view, and if your hair obstructs the 
 formation of the different faculties, 
 dampen it until it will lie flat and smooth 
 on the head. 
 
 Each faculty of the mind expresses 
 itself by one of three distinct surfaces 
 upon the head — Convex, Flat or Con- 
 cave ; Convex represents large or positive 
 degree; Flat stands for medium degree; 
 Concave, for small degree, but we are us- 
 ing the more familiar terms "bumps"*, 
 "flats", "hollows", for the easier under- 
 standing of their meaning. 
 
 13 
 
The different degrees in which each 
 faculty has developed, determines jthe 
 value of each, and of all the 43 distinct 
 faculties, in duplicate on each side of the 
 head, each one can be accurately located, 
 either by the eye or by applying the tips 
 of the fingers to the head. 
 
 SELF-ANALYSIS. 
 
 When we fully realize that our mind 
 faculties are not the result of definite and 
 refined thought on the part of our par- 
 ents previous to the compounding and as- 
 similating of soul and chemical matter, 
 but is the result, in 999 cases out of 1,000, 
 of " blind' ' animal passion, we will not 
 wonder at the haphazard combinations 
 and abnormal peculiarities and inclina- 
 tions of our intelligent self, but that does 
 not establish the excuse that we should 
 allow our faculties to remain as they 
 were born into us ; rather, that we should 
 do all within our defective understanding 
 to improve upon them by study and from 
 the contact and associations of other in- 
 dividuals who were lucky enough to come 
 out of the mold on a higher plane of mor- 
 ality or intelligence. 
 
 Should we not attempt to rebuild our 
 defective faculties for the good of our 
 children yet to be born, and for the good 
 of the entire human race in its struggle 
 for progression. 
 
 There is room for much deep thought 
 upon this subject, and let us hope that 
 
 14 
 
our final conclusions will be a revelation 
 to us and that the ultimate result will 
 be of inestimable value to the moulding 
 of the future generations of the world. 
 
 There is nothing so essential in fore- 
 sight as to have a correct knowledge of 
 one's own good and bad qualities of the 
 mind. We must first analyze ourselves 
 correctly before we can compare our own 
 characteristics harmoniously with the 
 traits of others with whom we have a de- 
 sire to associate, and also before we can 
 have the critical knowledge necessary to 
 analyze any head upon sight. 
 
 We must therefore put our own head 
 "upon the block' ' and observe it with the 
 severest scrutiny — just severe enough to 
 withstand a favorable comparison with 
 the great ideals that we invariably look 
 for in others. To do this with any degree 
 of accuracy and understanding, it is nec- 
 essary to assemble the different faculties 
 of the mind in their resective groups up- 
 on one side of a sheet of paper, and on 
 the opposite side record the remarks and 
 analysis of your conclusions, in accord- 
 ance with your innate feelings and in- 
 clinations, as we illustrate by two or 
 three examples, herewith : 
 
 No. 1. — If you have constant desire 
 to be of some use to others, and to be of 
 some good to humanity in general, or to 
 relieve distress ; or have sympathy for 
 the unfortunate poor, or humane regrets 
 for all the wickedness and vice that 
 
 15 
 
thrives in the midst of our modern social 
 life, then you have very large mind fac- 
 ulties of Conscientiousness, Benevolence, 
 Spirituality, Gratitude, Friendship, Pa- 
 rental Love, Hope, Conjugality, Combat- 
 iveness, but rather small faculties of Ac- 
 quisitiveness, Secretiveness, Destructive- 
 ness, Alimentiveness, Amativeness, Self- 
 conceit and Human Nature. (See Fig. 2.) 
 
 This combination of faculties makes 
 you too tender-hearted for an accumula- 
 tion of the necessary things in life for 
 personal comforts, and makes you a vic- 
 tim of vultures playing on your sympathy 
 and posing as friends. Therefore* for 
 self-protection for 1 yourself and fam- 
 ily wouldn't it be better to rebuild — in- 
 crease the deficient faculties and decrease 
 the abnormal faculties of the mind, mak- 
 ing you better prepared to combat the en- 
 croachments of the unsympathetic world 
 upon good nature? 
 
 No. 2. — If you have no desire to help 
 others in their troubles; no compassion 
 for their sorrows; no feeling within you 
 to give your bit for the relief of distress, 
 or for unavoidable and unfortunate con- 
 ditions of life; no repentance for the many 
 heartaches you have brought upon loving 
 parents or other relatives and friends ; no 
 regard for truth, virtue and honesty; no 
 feeling of graciousness for unsolicited fa- 
 vors or financial assistance in sickness or 
 poverty; no regrets for the vices in so- 
 cial life that surround us and almost en- 
 gulf at times the great efforts of worthy 
 
 16 
 
men and women to lift humanity above 
 such environment; no thought of any- 
 thing but a gratification of your own 
 physical needs and pleasures in life ,then 
 you are a product isolated far below the 
 average of human beings, with no piety 
 in your heart, and your prayers, if you 
 have any, are selfish ones for fear of pun- 
 ishment for the many unforgivable deeds 
 that have permeated your entire earthly 
 life. 
 
 You are simply an expression of the 
 "hit or miss" compounding of chemical 
 elements uniting with soul during the ac- 
 tivities of the Amative faculty in its grat- 
 ification of carnal desire (regardless of 
 consequences), which put you in a mould 
 of exceedingly low vibration, and ac- 
 cording to one of the great inexorable, 
 immutable laws of Nature — that any body 
 or soul having a low scale of vibratory 
 motion is also on a scale of low organiza- 
 tion and intelligence. 
 
 Your dominant faculties of the mind 
 are Destructiveness, Alimentiveness, Se- 
 cretiveness, Amativeness, Approbative- 
 ness, very small faculties of Consci- 
 entiousness (desire to do right), Self Es- 
 teem, Benevolence, Spirituality, Venera- 
 tion, Hope, Gratitude, Friendship, Paren- 
 tal Love and Conjugality. (See Fig. 21 
 for shape of the head.) Therefore would 
 you not make a better citizen and be bet- 
 ter prepared to accomplish the evident 
 object of Supreme Intelligence to prog- 
 ress in the generating process of the hu- 
 
 17 
 
man souls whom you might bring into the 
 world, if you would rebuild — increase the 
 action of your deficient faculties and de- 
 crease that of the dominant ones? 
 
 No. 3. — If you have an innate desire 
 to' investigate and understand the funda- 
 mental laws of Nature, delving into the 
 intricate billions of miles of unknown 
 space out of which sparkle and scintillate 
 the needle points of light from distant 
 suns and worlds ; speculate upon the pow- 
 er, force and intelligence that holds these 
 vast bodies of matter at certain distances 
 from one another; reason out the object 
 why our own little speck of earth should 
 be populated and afterwards depopulated 
 by wholesale slaughter; try to reason out 
 why human beings have not educated 
 themselves up to the same standard of 
 improvement in creating children that 
 they have in creating dogs and hogs; to 
 conclude from all deductions that if hu- 
 man beings had for ages past been im- 
 proving the creations of their own prog- 
 eny with as much foresight as they have 
 the beasts of the field, that there would 
 never have been, in this day and age, any 
 such calamity as is raging in every re- 
 mote part of the globe; or to try to 
 bridge the gap into the realms of invisi- 
 ble human life and discover if the phe- 
 nomena of impressions that seem to come 
 from nowhere are not in reality the re- 
 sult of intelligent and individual influ- 
 ence from friends gone before us and still 
 hovering around within the boundaries of 
 
 18 
 
the atmosphere that surrounds their for- 
 mer physical home ; or, to try to fathom 
 the phenomena of all life principle, as it 
 is seen in every living thing 1 of the visible, 
 and known of in the invisible, part of Na- 
 ture, suggests a combination of faculties 
 that is far above the average, therefore 
 we have very large Casualty, Comparison, 
 Individuality Locality, Spirituality, Sub- 
 limity, Form, Size, "Weight, Order, Color, 
 Number, Constructiveness. (See Fig. 15.) 
 
 The other faculties of the mind are 
 subordinate to a certain degree, because 
 of the fact that they are seldom called up- 
 on for action, as the above individual has 
 no time for the ordinary things of every- 
 day existence, and only dreams of the 
 great discoveries of Nature's laws that 
 he is about to make any day. If he makes 
 new discoveries it is to the advantage of 
 the entire human race, and we cannot 
 suggest any improvement upon the mind 
 faculties that already seem to dominate 
 him. 
 
 No. 4. — In this illustration we are 
 talking to the young men specially, for 
 the reason that young ladies rarely ever 
 expect to do anything after they are mar- 
 ried but to "keep house," and as most of 
 them join that heavenly realm of exclu- 
 siveness before they reach the age of 25, 
 they are practically out of the "ready 
 cash" producer class. 
 
 However, the exceptional ones, who 
 love their provider too much for his own 
 good and for their own future content- 
 
 19 
 
ment, also the type of girl who wants to 
 be independent of any of the masculine 
 side of nature, can apply our remarks to 
 themselves and perhaps profit by it. 
 
 If your parents are unfamiliar with 
 this science of knowing what faculties 
 they have helped Nature to create with- 
 in you (most of them are), you will be 
 obliged to depend upon conditions and be 
 your own judge, after thoroughly mas- 
 tering our "Modern Foresight". 
 
 If your combination of faculties is 
 evenly developed, it will be much more 
 difficult to decide what vocation you 
 would best succeed in, and in that case 
 an examination of your head by photo- 
 graphs might be sufficient. 
 
 If your mind faculties are not alike 
 in development then you will have strong 
 inclinations or tendencies to follow some 
 one vocation and that is the very employ- 
 ment that you should devote all of your 
 energies to, for you have no time at that 
 age to waste groping around experiment- 
 ing from one tiling to another to finally 
 come back to the starting point — the 
 mind faculty that is doing its utmost to 
 start you right. 
 
 Your dominant faculty, or perhaps 
 group of faculties along the same line, 
 is constantly on the alert and compels 
 you to confine your deepest thinking, 
 most serious thinking, within the limits 
 that such employment would extend; 
 if your strongest desire is to see wheels 
 go round, machinery running, boring, 
 
 20 
 
planing, gouging out iron chips, forming 
 new things, your dominant faculty is 
 Constructiveness, assisted by Form, and 
 you should, by all means, be a machinist; 
 if you would rather do delicate, intricate, 
 special kind of mechanical labor, you 
 should be a watchmaker; if you have an 
 itching desire to draw offhand, or picture 
 out on paper a funny idea or some event, 
 or some famous character in politics, or 
 illustrating stories, your dominant facul- 
 ties are in the artistic class — Form, Size, 
 Ideality, Mirthfulness, Constructiveness, 
 and anything outside of that vocation 
 would be a bore to you; if you would pre- 
 fer to watch all the pretty street cos- 
 tumes and styles, colors and fluffiness, 
 noticing exactly how each one is cut and 
 fitted, then you are a natural-born de- 
 signer with the faculties of Constructive- 
 ness, Form, Color, Size, Ideality predom- 
 inant, and should be either a salesman, 
 saleswoman, or designer of wearing ap- 
 parel. 
 
 If your inclinations are along mer- 
 cantile pursuits, the particular kind you 
 would better take up would depend first 
 upon business ability — faculties of Cau- 
 sality, Comparison, Secretiveness, Acquis- 
 itiveness, Cautiousness, Destructiveness, 
 and Order, then assisted by Constructive- 
 ness for Hardware; Alimentiveness for 
 Groceryman or Wholesale Liquors ; Color, 
 Ideality, Form, Suavity, Friendship, Am- 
 ativeness for Millinery, Clothing and Dry 
 Goods. 
 
 21 
 
If you have a craving desire to imi- 
 tate others , or are a good story teller, or 
 are very fond of dancing, singing and 
 leading an active, exciting, changeable 
 life, then your dominant faculties are Im- 
 itation, Time, Tune, Language, Friend- 
 ship, Amativeness, Destructiveness and 
 Alimentiveness, and your vocation must 
 be on the stage in order to enjoy life at 
 all and become an adept at your work. 
 
 If you have a strong desire to argue 
 and contend for your own opinion col- 
 loquially, then your dominant faculties 
 are Combativeness, Destructiveness, Se- 
 cretiveness, Firmness, Concentration, 
 Language, Causality, Comparison, and 
 Human Nature, and not many opponents 
 could get the best of you in a case at law, 
 therefore to be a lawyer would be your 
 greatest opportunity to become famous. 
 
 If you have an uncontrollable desire 
 to be listless, sluggish, lifeless, indolent, 
 inactive, you are either sick or woefully 
 lazy, and if not sick your dominant fac- 
 ulty is Alimentiveness, with very small, 
 deficient faculties of Combativeness, 
 Self-esteem, Force (Destructiveness), Ac- 
 quisitiveness, Hope, Vivativeness and the 
 vocation most suitable for you would be 
 of a sedentary nature, like bottoming 
 chairs in the daytime and devouring 
 cheap love stories in the wee small hours 
 of the night time. You would be very 
 successful at both. 
 
 If you are already employed in some 
 mercantile institution of large dimen- 
 
 22 
 
sions and many departments, and you 
 are all the time on the lookout for some 
 improvement in the system, and are not 
 concentrating your mind on one particu- 
 lar class of work, but keep your eyes and 
 ears open to everything that is going on 
 about you, as well as to do your own 
 work well, you have the faculties of In- 
 dividuality, Comparison, Constructive- 
 ness, Destructiveness, Firmness, Self-es- 
 teem, Approbativeness, Secretiveness, 
 Acquisitiveness, Cautiousness and Ama- 
 tiveness very large, and are of just the 
 right type of man to forge ahead and get 
 to the very top of the ladder of success. 
 
 We might continue along this line of 
 Self- Analysis indefinitely, for there is no

end to the different combinations of mind 
 faculties, and each separate combination 
 will give an entirely different disposi- 
 tion, temperament and inclination in 
 each individual. But we do specialize 
 that to follow one's own strongest in- 
 clination in the vocational problem is the 
 surest road to success. 
 
 OTHERS ARE NOT FLIRTING 
 WITH YOU. 
 
 What applies to your own head and 
 face applies to others, and when you dis- 
 cover some "impudent person" staring 
 at you, they are very likely analyzing 
 you the same as you are them instead of 
 
 24 
 
trying to flirt with you, as you may 
 think. 
 
 Since you care for only just enough 
 knowledge of this nature to satisfy your 
 own personal needs, we are not going 
 into all the intricate details of the science 
 of head and face reading, as that is only 
 for those who wish to adopt it as a pro- 
 fession, or for personal entertainment. 
 
 In our illustrations of each faculty 
 of the mind which represents your real 
 self, we give you three views of the head 
 and face — Figs. A. B. C. all of which have 
 to be taken into consideration, in order 
 to correctly locate and compare one with 
 another.

ENTERTAINMENT BY 
 CRANIOSOOPY. 
 
 By far the quickest way to learn the 
 art of reading faces, is to practice upon 
 one's own family or upon friends. 
 
 Friends and their friends are always 
 glad to have their heads and faces ex- 
 amined by one who can tell them some- 
 thing about themselves, and their friends 
 that none of them know, and one can al- 
 ways tell if he is hitting the nail on the 
 head, by the different expressions on the 
 faces of the listeners. It is no end of 
 amusement for both the examiner and 
 the examined as long as the heads hold 
 out. 
 
 UNBALANCED HEAD NECESSARY 
 TO BE A GENIUS. 
 
 If your head, upon examination, 
 proves to be of the same balance as the 
 Figs. A. B. C. you will never become ex- 
 ceptionally famous, or be a genius, since 
 one has to be decidedly unbalanced to be 
 able to do uncommon things. To be able 
 to do one thing great, is about all that 
 can be expected of one person in so few 
 years of experience. 
 
 CHANGING HEAD FACULTIES 
 TO DEMONSTRATE RESULTS. 
 
 Suppose we take the Figs. A. B. C. 
 and change the degree of some of the 
 faculties, and note the result: — If Nos. 4, 
 
 26 
 
5, 16, 30, 31 were highly developed, the 
 forehead at that point would be very 
 prominent, each faculty plainly distinct 
 from the other faculties adjacent. Such 
 a person would be a great thinker and 
 writer upon subjects that would be valu- 
 able to any one who had enough mental- 
 ity to comprehend them, but such a writ- 
 er might be very deficient at the Nos. 
 25, 24, 13, 23, because he wouldn't have 
 time nor the inclination to bother with 
 thoughts that those numbers represent, 
 and therefore this part of the head would 
 be almost straight up and down in the 
 back — not having enough affection nor 
 friendship to attract anyone to him. On 
 the other hand, if these last numbers 
 were well developed and No. 29 added, 
 he could write stories that would bring 
 tears of joy and sympathy in profusion 
 to all who would read, and his leisure 
 hours would be passed in many a romp 
 with children and friends. In that event 
 the back part of the head would be full 
 and round. So you can see for yourself 
 what an advantage it might be in many 
 ways to know considerable about heads 
 and faces. 
 
 If Nos. 9, 41, 34, 25, in Fig. A. were 
 very large, and 23, 24, and 13 small, 
 which is quite often the case in men, the 
 head at 9 would be much higher than 
 in the illustration and the faculty at 13 
 
 27 
 
would be flat or even hollow, instead of 
 round as in the illustration; now looking 
 at the Fig. C you would find faculties 41, 
 34, 25, as large round "bumps" about 
 like half of a butternut, and the head 
 would be much wider between the ears. 
 Such a man would be so domineering, 
 stubborn and cruel that any woman who 
 happens to fall in love with him, would 
 soon wish, after marriage, that she had 
 never been born; but if the woman had 
 known enough before marriage, about 
 reading of character to serve her own 
 particular purpose, she could have saved 
 herself all that heart-breaking experi- 
 ence. 
 
 TO INCREASE THE SALARY. 
 
 To increase one's salary, there could 
 be no quicker way than to familiarize 
 one's self with the knowledge of how to 
 select efficient help for the different de- 
 partments in any large institution where 
 many people are employed. How to dis- 
 criminate between honest and dishonest 
 employes at sight: Some have much 
 more ability than they think they have, 
 while others have less ability than they 
 know they have, but our system puts you 
 into the position of know r ing all about the 
 real " stuff" that any person is made of. 
 In the vocational line, a person having 
 
 28 
 
large faculties of 3, 6, 1, 17, 9, 10, 23, 26, 
 29, 38, would make an excellent sales- 
 man. 
 
 A person having 5, 16, 38, 14, 26, 2, 
 36, 11, highly developed would do won- 
 ders in mechanics and invention. 
 
 A person having a head that is low 
 over the ears, a wide head between the 
 ears, and a retreating forehead, small 
 faculties of 10, 22 would never get above 
 sweeping the streets or other menial 
 work. 
 
 A person with large faculties of 41, 
 40, 33, 39, 25, and very small faculties of 
 7, 19, 21, 8, 32 would make the most 
 dangerous kind of criminal. 
 
 An employe who is able to detect 
 the true character of anyone they see, 
 on the spot, is of greater value to an em- 
 ployer, than one who has no such know- 
 ledge. 
 
 Knowledge of faces on sight gives 
 one unlimited confidence in his own abil- 
 ity to "do things " and he has far better 
 chances of succeding in any undertak- 
 ing that is associated with all kinds of 
 people. 
 
 PREPAREDNESS 
 
 is a good slogan and a good principle to 
 stick to all through one's earthly exis- 
 tence.

PROOF OF MIND FACULTIES 
 IN HEAD. 
 
 Though it will be immaterial to most 
 of our readers to know just why, and 
 from what proof we 
 make our assertions 
 concerning Heads 
 and Faces, for the 
 bettor satisfaction 
 
 H-oncSi 
 
 of the few, we will 
 give a short descrip- 
 tion of the scientific 
 principle of it. 
 Referring t o Figs. 
 9 and 10 — one nose 
 to you looks honest, 
 and the other dis- 
 honest. Now the 
 
 question is, where 
 D,j/ionejt doeg the idea ^ that 
 
 E 7 V makes these two 
 noses grow so dif- 
 ferently, originate V 
 Is it inside each sep- 
 arate nose, or is it 
 somewhere else? 
 Cranioscopy says it is in the mind, 
 and as we are unable to find a better 
 place for it, we willingly agree with Dr. 
 Gall, the discoverer of this truth over 100 
 years ago. 
 
 Everybody knows that no two per- 
 sons, even in one family, show the same 
 amount or kind of mentality. One may 
 be a genius in music, and another unable 
 
 Nojc, 
 
 30 
 
to distinguish one note distinctly from 
 another, and yet could be a wonder in 
 mechanics and invention. 
 
 This goes to prove that there must 
 be different organs in the mind to cor- 
 respond with each different manifestation 
 of talent and emotion, therefore since we 
 all recognize that we have many other 
 kinds of talent and emotions than the 
 ones mentioned above there must be or- 
 gans in the mind to correspond with each 
 and every faculty that a person possesses. 
 
 These organs have been nicknamed, 
 " bumps" by the uninitiated as that best 
 expresses their unsophisticated ideas of 
 Head-reading, but as you will notice in 
 all of our illustrations, there is rarely an 
 instance where you can recognize a 
 ''bump." 
 
 Head and Face reading is not done 
 by ' ' bumps ' ', but is accomplished by not- 
 ing the shape and sLze of the head and 
 expression of the face. As proof of this 
 statement, we will let the reader decide, 
 by telling us how his or her own opinion 
 is formed in reading the heads and faces 
 of the illustrations in this book. 
 
 To continue with the explanation, the 
 brain is divided into forty-three areas, 
 representing mind faculties, located on 
 each side of the head with the dividing 
 line at the top, front and back, in the 
 center, (see Fig. 25). The organs have 
 fibres extending from each one, and con- 
 verging to the top of the spinal column. 
 
 31 
 
A— Medulla Oh>lon&>+**-* top of 
 Spina/ Cp/i/mn, 
 
 The brain is developed through these 
 fibres, the volume of the brain being de- 
 pendent upon the length of them, conse- 
 quently an organ is large in proportion 
 to the distance from the brain center to 
 the surface where it is located. 
 
 The organs on this dividing line 
 blend together from either side of it, pro- 
 ducing single organs, instead of being in 
 duplicate as the others are, farther away 
 from the line. 
 
 These blended organs are Nos. 2, 3, 
 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13. 
 
 The correct proportion of the shape 
 of the head, is found by extending lines 
 from the ear opening to the surface of 
 
 32 
 
the head of the dividing line (see Fig. 
 23). 
 
 In this illustration the dotted line is 
 the head of a man who murdered his own 
 brother, the black line, a famous English 
 poet, and the difference between the two 
 is very noticeable, the development of the 
 poet being upward and forward, while 
 that of the murderer is upward and 
 backward and the head was also very 
 wide from ear to ear in the latter. 
 
 The former measurement, upward 
 and forward gives large mentality and 
 morality, while in the latter the criminal 
 and licentious propensities, or inclina- 
 tions, are the result. 
 
 33 
 
LOCATION OF ORGAN GROUPS. 
 
 These organs are associated in 'I 
 groups. Those representing harmonious I 
 relations are grouped together, as fol-jl 
 lows: 
 
 Domestic Propensities 
 
 (Inclinations.) 
 These organs are located in the backj 
 part of the head and when large the back- 
 head is elongated and broad. They are 
 Nos. 25, 24, 13, 23, 12. ( See Figs. A, B, C.) 
 
 Selfish Propensities. 
 
 These are located on the sidehead 
 and when large give width to the head in 
 that region. They relate to welfare and 
 protection to the individual. They are 
 Nos. 42, 34, 41, 40, 39, 33. 
 
 Selfish Sentiments. 
 Located in the region of the crown, 
 and when large cause the head to be very 
 high and distant from the opening of the 
 ear to that part of the head. They give 
 dignity, ambition, prudence and ability. 
 They are Nos. 32, 22, 10, 11. 
 
 Moral Sentiments. 
 Grouped in the top-head giving 
 breadth, fullness and elevation to that 
 region. They are Nos, 21, 20, 19, 7, 8. 
 
 Semi-Intellectual Sentiments. 
 
 These are located in the region of J 
 
 the temples, in the upper and forward i 
 
 side-head. They supply the artistic, 
 
 mechanical, conforming, and refining ele- 
 
 34 
 
ments of character. Nos. 38, 30, 31, 18, 
 29, 6, 17. 
 
 Intellectual Faculties. 
 
 These are of two classes, the Percep- 
 tive and Reflective faculties. The Per- 
 ceptives are located above the eyes and 
 constitute about one-third of the height 
 of the forehead, beginning at the arch of 
 the eye ; the numbers are : 3, 2, 14, 26, 27, 
 35, 36, 15. This group of faculties when 
 strong, give practical judgment, business 
 talent and common sense. When we 
 analyze the action of each faculty, we 
 will recognize the value of them taken 
 separately, as well as in their combined 
 activity. They enable us to grasp the 
 gist of anything quickly, and at once see 
 the practical side of things. 
 
 Semi-Perceptive or Literary Faculties. 
 
 Situated in a line running across the 
 center of the forehead are Nos. 4, 28, 37, 
 1. Number 1 faculty manifests itself 
 only by pressing upon the plate over the 
 orbit of the eye, and pushing the eye out- 
 ward and downward, making it protrude 
 and stand out full. 
 
 The Reflective Faculties 
 
 (Reasoning.) 
 Are located in the upper part of the 
 forehead. They are Nos. 5, 16. Number 
 11 gives patient and continued effort and 
 unity of thought in reasoning out a thing. 
 It is the stick-to-it-ive faculty that aids 
 all other faculties in getting results. 
 
 35 
 
DEFINITION AND LOCATION OP 
 HEAD FACULTIES. 
 
 For the sake of easily memorizing the 
 localities of the different Faculties upon 
 our illustrations A. B. C. we have num- 
 bered them in rotation, as nearly as pos- 
 sible, beginning with the lowest Faculty 
 in front — Language, as No. 1 and so on. 
 
 For further assistance in locating 
 each Faculty, start at the front of the 
 ear, and you will note that there are five 
 Faculties, nearly on a line to the top of 
 the head— 39, 40, 31, 20, 8 and just above 
 the ear, are 41, 33, 32, 21, 9. Commenc- 
 ing again in front of the ear, and going 
 backwards in a line, are 39, 41, 34, 24, 13. 
 On the extreme top of the head, are 7, 8, 
 9, 10 and just each side of the top, in a 
 near straight line, are 6, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 
 11, and down near the middle of the 
 head, are 5, 16, 29, 30, 31, 32, A 23, 12. 
 Most of the faculties are about one inch 
 apart on the real head; some are 1 1-2 
 inches, and some on the forehead only 
 1-2 inch or H inch apart. Heads vary 
 considerably in size, anywhere from 20 
 to 24 inches around, from front to back. 
 But the largest size does not always 
 house the greatest brain power. 
 
 A very high head above the ears, 
 comparatively, or one long from front to 
 back, both indicate large mentality, 
 while a low head above the ears, and 
 wide between them, indicates deficient 
 mentality, and excessive brutality. 
 
 36 
 
Bald heads are the best kind for 
 analyzing. 
 
 A short description of the meaning of 
 each Faculty, or what it stands for, is 
 absolutely indispensable to accurate

 Recent Discoveries By Drs. Franz 
 
 And Lashlie 
 
 Of The United States. 
 
 In an article by Dr. Hirshberg, of 
 June 25th 1917, he tells us that "the 
 brilliant experiments and observations 
 add new light to the proof that the cere- 
 brum or brain has little if anything, to 
 do with the mind" also that, "many vic- 
 tims of accidents and diseases which des- 
 troy or decompose one area after another 
 of the brain, interfere no more with the 
 spirit or mental activity of the victim 
 than does a boil on the neck." 
 
 Professor Franz, in his new discover- 
 ies, substantiates with undeniable proof, 
 the claim of Spiritualism — that the ego, 
 self or soul, or mind has a spiritual body 
 within the physical body, an exact replica 
 of the body that we see with the physical 
 eye, therefore, the above experiments 
 add "new light' ' very forcibly to the 
 spiritual side of life and the laws that 
 govern it. 
 
 45 
 
We shall look forward anxiously for 
 the doctor to delve deeper into the sci- 
 ence of the mind, hoping that he can find 
 reasonable proof of possible communica- 
 tion between minds encased in the dual 
 bodies and those encased in the spirit 
 body only, or in other words, between 
 physical and spirit man. 
 
 WOMAN'S INFLUENCE. 
 
 Human beings of this earth consist 
 of two disinetive classes — Feminine and 
 Masculine. The Feminine is all love, 
 spirituality, devotion, silent submissive- 
 ness and uncomplaining sacrifices:- The 
 Masculine is all aggressiveness, egotism, 
 individual satisfaction, persistent animal- 
 ism and self-opinionated perfection. 
 
 The predominating influence of the 
 woman, through her spirituality, is to 
 uplift society while that of the man, gov- 
 erned to a greater extent by his animal 
 passions and selfish propensities, is to tear 
 it down when he does not treat the 
 daughter of another as he would wish his 
 own daughter to be treated. 
 
 Considering the enormous opportuni- 
 ties that men have always had, until re- 
 cently, over women in educational and in- 
 dustrial pursuits, one would expect them 
 to show marked intellectual superiority, 
 but where women have been permitted 
 (by masculine authority) to enter schools 
 upon an equal chance with men, their 
 mentality forces itself to the highest pin- 
 
 46 
 
nacle that man-caliber has ever attained, 
 and in addition to that preserves mor- 
 ality in society where the man individ- 
 uality neglects it. 
 
 When any man considers himself the 
 superior of woman he has too large fac- 
 ulties of Nos. 25, 41, 9, 10, and too small 
 of 21, 7, 24. When such men try to con- 
 vince you, girls, that you, alone, are the 
 ' ' apple of their eye ' ' and that no one else 
 ever enters their thoughts for affection, 
 be wary of what they tell you, no matter 
 how very polite and gentlemanly and 
 agreeable they may be, if you have any 
 desire to preserve your virtue and 
 modesty. Take a look at Fig. 1, the kind 
 of man we have just described; note how 
 straight up and down his head is in the 
 back at 13 and how it bulges out at 25 
 and how flat it is at 7-21 and how deceit- 
 ful his eye looks and brutal the chin and 
 mouth. Will you know him when some 
 friend introduces him to you, or will you 
 be so frustrated that you will forget all 
 that we have told you ? 
 
 Compare Fig. 2, with Fig. 1, and note 
 the difference in expresion. The faculties 
 of the mind inside the head, create the 
 expression on the outside of the face. In 
 head 2, you see a full, open, honest eye 
 because there is nothing back of it to 
 hide ; you see a full round back-head at 
 13, 24, 12, 23, which guarantees love of 
 home, love of children, love and devotion 
 to only one life companion, friendship 
 
 47 
 
48 
 
for everybody, and 34 will see to it that 
 the family is well provided for. When 
 No. 39 is large and the head at 9 and 10 
 is full, they give him firmness and 
 confidence in himself and his own ability 
 to succeed in business. 
 
 Probably he wouldn't be so exceed- 
 ingly and gushingly agreeable to the girl 
 of the present day, as Fig. 1 would, but 
 in married life, if he got a girl with large 
 Nos. 21, 7, 13, 12, 24, 19, 3, 4, 35, 9, 30, 
 which he ought to get with opposite tem- 
 perament from his own, or one who looks 
 about like Fig. 18, neither of them could 
 ever have cause to regret it. 
 
 But, remember, girls, that not one 
 man in fifty will be so tender-hearted and 
 
 49 
 
attentive to every little wish that you 
 might have, gentle in manner, courteous 
 in company, considering your pleasures 
 in sacrifice of his own, after you are mar- 
 ried as he did before, and don't expect it, 
 for you will be disappointed, unless, of 
 course, your choice happens to be the 
 fifty-first type, the one exception out of 
 fifty-one. 
 
 You will naturally wonder why your 
 intended husband will be any different 
 after the wedding than he was before, 
 as many girls have already inquired, and 
 there is only one explanation — you are in 
 a different environment entirely; it is a 
 new kind of life, one that brings out the 
 faculties in each other that were inactive, 
 dormant before marriage, but which are 
 very much alive afterwards — they are 
 Nos. 13, 24, 25 in both the husband and 
 wife; therefore you are beginning a new 
 condition, and not, as you might imagine, 
 continuing in the old relationship of hid- 
 ing things from each other that your 
 modesty has persisted in doing, and 
 the result will be that you will love each 
 other then either a great deal more or a 
 great deal less than you did before. 
 
 Don't deceive yourself into the belief 
 or hope that married life is as' free and 
 easy as single life is, unless you have 
 learned to select the companion best suit- 
 ed to your own individual characteristics 
 and one who is on the same plane of vi- 
 
 50 
 
bration as yourself; then, neither of you 
 will ever regret the beautiful change. 
 
 Some people contend that it is im- 
 possible to "see" the true nature and 
 disposition of a person by the shape of 
 the head and face; if such were true, then 
 they would choose Fig. 1 for a friend as 
 quickly as they would Fig. 2. How is it 
 with you who have read so far in this 
 book? 
 
 Fig. 1 would best succeed in some 
 business where graft was the principal 
 feature, for his small Faculty 21 and 
 large faculties of 39 and 40 and very 
 large faculty of 25 would give him a sen- 
 sually selfish nature. 
 
 Figure 2 would succeed best in 
 some business that deals with all kinds 
 of people, as he would make many friends 
 through his upright methods of conduct- 
 ing it, both for the employees and the 
 buying public. He would be fair and 
 reasonable, though firm and persistent 
 and thorough, in everything he under- 
 took. 
 
 COMPARISON OP TYPES. 
 
 In Figs. 3 and 4 we have two 
 different types of men, both however, 
 on the morality side of nature. One 
 is a student, the other a "business 
 getter," see the great difference in the 
 shape of the forehead — Nos. 5, 16, 30, 19, 
 gives a desire in Fig. 3 to study and in- 
 vestigate the spiritual side of life, and 4, 
 
 51 
 
31 to fathom the laws and vastness of sid- 
 erial nature, and anything relating to ed- 
 ucational problems. Figure 4 has little 
 thought of anything except what is on 
 the material side of life , being of a very 
 forceful, energetic, dynamic tempera- 
 ment, with all the perceptive faculties 
 (3, 14, 26, 27, 35, 36, 4, 15, 1) large and 6 
 very large, and 9, 41, 25, also large, it 
 would require a pretty hard blow to stop 
 his headlong impetuosity in piling up, 
 business for his employers. For a part- 
 ner in business, his conscientiousness 
 would keep him on the right side for suc- 
 cess, and his full qualities at 24, 23, 10 
 would hold him within the exclusiveness 
 of his wife and family. Figure 3, on the 
 other side, has too small 13, 25, 24, to 
 make married life so happy as it should 
 be as the wife would undoubtedly, be 
 neglected in affectionate demonstrations 
 and his children would fear and dislike 
 him. 
 
 Referring to Fig. 15 we have a front 
 view of much the same type of intellect, 
 only more so and more of a nervous dis- 
 position, as the body would not be strong 
 enough to nourish the hard thinking 
 work of the brain. 
 
 All of the great artists, musicians, 
 teachers and philosophers have possessed 
 the elemental faculties of 27, 30, 28, 37, 2, 
 5, 16, in a large degree. Nothing but a 
 union in wedlock of similar types could 
 have harmonious results, as the delicate 
 sensitiveness of the higher type could 
 
 53 
 
never vibrate upon the same plane as one 
 of ordinary intellect, therefore, discord- 
 ant, repulsive, and unbearable conditions 
 would be continually asserting them- 
 selves, unless however, the dominant fac- 
 ulties of the lower type, were Nos. 7, 21, 
 23, 13, 24, 9, 10, 34, and on the feminine 
 side of the union. 
 
 In Figs. 5 and 6 we have another 
 comparison of types which must convince 
 you without any further doubt, that to 
 "know how" to detect a few of the bad 
 characteristics in a person's head, might 
 prove to be a life-saver at some time or 
 other, for instance, we would dislike to 
 
 54 
 
meet a man on a dark night who has such 
 a destructive faculty of 41, so very large, 
 and the good qualities 21, 19, so very 
 small as Fig. 5 indicates, unless our cos- 
 tume was bullet proof, and not a cent in 
 our pocket. 
 
 ,But Fig. 6 we would feel perfectly 
 safe in meeting at any time or place, or 
 even to allow him the sanctity of our 
 home and family, or joining him in a bus- 
 iness venture. 
 
 So much for knowing how to "see 
 for yourself " enough of human nature to 
 amply protect one's self in every walk of 
 life. 
 
 For further examples of good and 
 bad characteristics, plainly visible to 
 those who are now beginning to "see 
 things" beyond the adamant wall of bone 
 and flesh, look at Figs. 9, 10, 11, 12. 
 Figure 11, a type one often sees in the 
 cunning, avaricious, wary bargain hunter 
 of short time loans with big interest, an 
 easy "rake in" for the innocent darlings 
 at home and Raehael, who never knows or 
 cares, what suffering in the other homes 
 such unreasonable borrowings bring 
 about. 
 
 His sanctimonious innocence may work 
 upon your own credulity, if your under- 
 standing of his "bumps" and "hollows" 
 is defective. 
 
 Figure 12 is to illustrate excessive 
 love for good things to eat and drink to 
 the extent of making a pig and a sot of 
 
 56 
 
himself, as can be seen in the heavy thick 
 lips and chin and double chin, large 
 fleshy neck, and very large organs of 25, 
 41, 40, 9, but small organs at 7, 8, 10. A 
 marriage with that type of, or rather ex- 
 cuse, of the masculine side of humanity, 
 would be a travesty upon society, and 
 whoever would be inveigled into "tak- 
 ing him for better or for worse" would 
 have our utmost sympathy. He would 
 have affinities everywhere. 
 
 But now we have arrived in the pres- 
 ence of the jolly type and what a change 
 about of feeling we ourselves have in the 
 describing of such a nature. (See Fig. 
 13.) In him we have cheerfulness and 
 
 58 
 
a winnning smile whenever he greets us 
 because one of his dominant faculties, is 
 mirthfulness (29). 
 
 He is so fat that he can't get his eyes 
 open very far but he has no tricky deceit- 
 fulness lurking behind the eyelids as most 
 squinty eyes do have. He wants you to 
 "call again' ' often, as his Suavity (No. 
 17) makes him pleasant to everybody and 
 the result is you will want to buy all of 
 your groceries at his store, to which his 
 "bump" of acquisitiveness (No. 39) will 
 have no objection. 
 
 His conscientiousness (21) is large 
 enough to not allow any of his employees 
 to deal out defective goods intentionally. 
 He would make a good partner in busi- 
 ness as he is a good "mixer" and he 
 would make a good husband as he would 
 always see to it that his family was never 
 ragged nor hungry, and also because his 
 wife could "boss" him to her heart's con- 
 tent and he would enjoy being "bossed" 
 if she was doing the bossing. 
 
 The following type of man (Fig. 14), 
 would not be so easily "managed" by his 
 wife, but he might succumb to the sweet 
 innocence of a favorite daughter or niece, 
 although he seems to be stern and severe. 
 He is a person of large physical construc- 
 tion, bony, angular, athletic. Such a 
 type likes freedom of action, cannot en- 
 dure restraint and prefers out-of-door 
 pursuits. The face is broad in general 
 pivtline; cheek bones prominent; chin and 
 
 59 
 
jaw broad and prominent, and the whole 
 body tends to ruggedness). With only 
 ordinary intelligence they are best suited 
 to occupy their time with menial, physi- 
 cal drudgery, but with large faculties of 
 Nos. 4, 5, 16, 2, 38, 14, 26, they would 
 make leaders in engineering, manufact- 
 uring and mining. 
 
 This type of man has high ideals of 
 home life, but cares little or nothing for 
 society. 
 
 Having large faculties of 21, 7, 23, 
 24, 13, 34, 41, he tolerates nothing sly, 
 tricky or deceitful, and would make a far 
 better husband than lover, since he has 
 no inclination to palvaerism. 
 
 60 
 
DISHONESTY. 
 
 is most easily seen from a rear view 
 of the head, (Pig. 21). This is the one 
 faculty of the brain that positively 
 demonstrates the true character of all 
 people of all nations and of all religious 
 denominations — the faculty of conscienti- 
 ousness (No. 21). In Fig. 21 you will find 
 it on each side of No. 9. and from a side 
 view of the head is directly above the 
 back edge of the ear. In the real head 
 it is located about one and a half inches 
 either side of Firmness (No. 9). 
 
 Be very particular about its correct 
 location, since it is the most necessary 
 faculty in determining character. If you 
 find a flat or hollow place there, you can 
 put that person down as dishonest under 
 all circumstances, and if the head at Nos. 
 25-41, show "bumps" 
 
 Then all girls beware ! beware ! ! ! 
 
 Don't trust your affections there!! 
 
 Fig. 20 would serve you right; 
 
 Put trust in him with all your might. 
 
 Note the difference in the shape of 
 these two heads. Fig. 20 has a decided 
 bump or fullness at No. A, giving that 
 person a never failing desire to do the 
 right thing by everybody. The faculties 
 at 24, 23, 13, all denote affection and 
 friendship as the head is large, full and 
 broad at these points. 
 
 Fig. 21 has hollows at 21 and bumps 
 at 25, 41, all of which indicate brutality, 
 
 61 
 
deceitfulness, treachery, viciousness and 
 lust. 
 
 41: 
 
 §am 
 
 fill 
 
 U/ 
 
 Such a man would care for no one 
 but himself and his own gratification of 
 promiscuous sensuality. 
 
 He would be extremely polite to 
 ladies and act the "perfect gentleman' ' 
 
 62 
 
but diplomatic in every move he made. 
 He is so full of magnetism in his make- 
 up, that he would soon gain the complete 
 confidence of most women who had never 
 learned how to detect the secrets beneath 
 the bony covering of the brain. 
 
 A man of these propensities would 
 succeed best at the saloon business, prize 
 fighting, horse racing, gambling, or any 
 similar vocation. 
 
 EGOTISM. 
 
 Is not a particular faculty of itself, 
 but a combination of Nos. 22, 10, as seen 
 in Fig. 22. The main assistant of 22 and 
 10 is Firmness (9) located at the extreme 
 top of the head on a vertical line from the 
 back rim of the ear. The first support 
 of 9 is 34; it makes one resist any inter- 
 ference with their own superior good 
 judgment. They have a very exalted 
 opinion of their ability and if 23, 21 are 
 small and 41, 25 large, they impose their 
 self-importance upon every one within 
 sight or hearing, because of their posi- 
 tiveness that others' opinions are of 
 small consequence. Possibly such a per- 
 son may have stored up a vast amount of 
 general knowledge, which his dominating 
 faculties at Nos. 3, 6 are constantly ob- 
 taining, but so much display of it upon 
 ordinary mentality becomes tiresome 
 when it is forced upon one every day, 
 rain or shine. 
 
 63 
 

 As a lawyer or politician he might 
 succeed since he would be persistently 
 insistent in ferreting out difficult prob- 
 lems in law or conniving trickery, but as 
 a husband, the wife would have to make 
 up her mind at once to give up all of her 
 freedom to his domineering disposition, 
 nor ever venture an argument with him 
 nor resent any imposition that he might 
 desire to make for it would avail noth- 
 ing to oppose him; he would have his 
 own desires satisfied, regardless of con- 
 sequences, to her health or happiness. 
 
 64 
 
" SAFETY FIRST" FOR GIRLS. 
 
 Now, girls, don't think that the most 
 attentive and agreeable fellow, will make 
 the best husband, for it is more often the 
 case that he will not. Large Approba- 
 tiveness and Amativeness make a fellow 
 gush over with flattery and pretty say- 
 ings about yourself, just to get you to be- 
 lieve all he tells you, "fall in love" with 
 him and afterwards fall out of love when 
 you have plenty of time to think it over 
 in your lonesomeness, and desertion. 
 
 A real worthy young man (or old 
 one either) who has honesty of purpose, 
 will never flatter you nor tell you that 
 you are the prettiest ,^irl he ever saw, 
 nor tell you that you have the prettiest 
 form, nor will ever take you into a dis- 
 reputable place of amusement, nor will 
 ever smoke in your presence without per- 
 mission, nor will ask you to take intoxi- 
 cating liquors, nor will ever use profane 
 or vulgar language in your company, and 
 will always treat you with the same 
 courtesy that he would his grandmother, 
 and if he loves you, he will "give up" 
 any bad habit for your sake; if he will 
 not give up any such habit, when he is 
 positive that you want him to, then he 
 does not love you enough to make you 
 happy if you were married to him. 
 
 The excuse that he might make, that 
 you were selfish in asking him to stop a 
 
 65 
 
habit that was enjoyment to him, proves 
 to you that he is far more * ' in love ' ' with 
 his filthy habit than he is with you, and 
 therefore, you would have one faculty of 
 obstinacy to grieve over before you got 
 any farther in the anticipated circum- 
 stances of the future. "Safety First" 
 gives the most security for happiness un- 
 der all conditions. 
 
 When you see a young fellow that 
 walks along the street in a slouchy, 
 sloppy, humped-over, indifferent attitude, 
 you can put him down as a careless, 
 thoughtless, wishy-washy individual. He 
 wall never have enough Self-esteem, 
 Firmness, Combativeness, Acquisitiveness 
 Conscientiousness, Order and Approba- 
 tiveness to keep the grease spots off his 
 clothes, nor his cigarette filth in the cus- 
 pidor, nor his hat and coat on the peg 
 selected for them, nor help you wash the 
 dishes, nor help you keep the house clean, 
 nor do anything to make it easier for 
 you, whether you are tired or not, be- 
 cause all he cares for is his own personal 
 pleasures. If you are blind to all these 
 outward signs before you take him for 
 " worse" (we leave off the rest of the 
 saying because that part of it would not 
 happen) you have no one but yourself to 
 blame for it. 
 
 And when you find a man who is al- 
 ways telling about his own wonderful 
 
 66 
 
achivements in art or literature, or edu- 
 cation or inventions, or public oratory, or 
 anything else that he has become profi- 
 cient in, or, that was so natural in his 
 "make up" that he couldn't help himself, 
 very well, whatever the cause might be, 
 he will always be egoistic and very tire- 
 some for an every-day diet to people who 
 are not so accomplished. His dominant 
 mind faculty is Approbativeness — two 
 large bumps on each side and in close 
 proximity to Self-esteem a faculty that 
 takes special delight in crowing and 
 bragging about all the great things that 
 he has done. Of course this kind of a 
 man might be preferable to the slovenly 
 one just before mentioned, but neither 
 one of them would be very agreeable for 
 steady companions. 
 
 AN IDEAL COMPARISON 
 
 FOR MATRIMONIAL UNION 
 
 IN TEMPERAMENT ONLY. 
 
 This is not a comparison of Mind 
 Faculties, simply a proper proportion 
 outside of the mind entirely. 
 
 To secure the most natural course 
 for contentment and happiness in mar- 
 ried life, from a physical point of view, 
 the woman should not be younger than 
 23 and the difference in ages not less 
 than five years nor more than ten the man 
 being the elder; there should be a differ- 
 
 67 
 
ence in weight of forty or fifty pounds: 
 a difference in height of six inches ; a dif- 
 ference in complexion of blue and brown 
 eyes; or black and gray; or light blue and 
 brown or hazel; light and dark hair, al- 
 though the hair does not make so much 
 difference as the color of the eyes; the 
 contour of the head is very important, a 
 narow head between the ears in one and 
 a wider one in the other; height of head 
 above the ears should not be the same in 
 both; shape of forehead should be differ- 
 ent; shape of back-head should be round 
 in both, one full and broad at the top 
 back-head, the other full and round at 
 the middle back-head; one should have 
 thin lips, the other thick lips, the woman 
 with the latter type is preferable; the 
 man should have a broad, square jaw and 
 prominent chin, rather than the woman; 
 the man should never be condsidered 
 pretty in the face, as he would be worth- 
 less for anything but a freak sideshow. 
 
 FEMININE ANALYSIS. 
 
 Though womanly nature on the 
 whole is more pliable, plastic and agree- 
 able than that of her masculine neighbor, 
 and her delicate influence upon the hu- 
 man race more elevating, she comes 
 within our field for analyzing for the 
 sake of protection to herself and of ed- 
 ucating the opposite sex in her true re- 
 lationship to real progression. See Figs. 
 16 and 17. 
 
 68 
 
PREJUDICE OF THE IGNORANT 
 EXPLODED. 
 
 In our figures 1 6, 17 we have two op- 
 posite types, which are seen in every 
 neighborhood, one of them spreading 
 benevolence and happiness wherever she 
 goes, the other sowing scandal with 
 equally as much grace. If there is noth- 
 ing but "bunk," as some call it, in Crani- 
 oscopy, then those of that idea would se- 
 lect one of these as quickly as the other, 
 and we cannot allow such to use the ex- 
 pression in the face nor the shape of the 
 head to make a selection by, because that 
 is using the science which is ridiculed. 
 
 The fact of the problem is, every- 
 body uses science of cranioscopy to some 
 extent, as there is no other possible way 
 of determining character, but the one 
 who is willing to admit that there is 
 enough in it to be worth studying, and 
 will study it, is the only one who is self- 
 protected against all the selfish secrets | * 
 that dwell inside the brain of those he 
 comes in contact with, and what more 
 valuable asset could any young man or 
 woman ever possess than to be able to 
 "read" any face on sight? We know of 
 no other accomplishment so valuable and E j 
 so easy to obtain. 
 
 To return to our Figs. 16 and 17 per- 
 haps you can "see for yourself" by this p 
 time in your increased knowledge of [ 
 character study, that Fig. 16 is really the [ 
 only type of the two, that most persons 
 
 70 
 
 o 
 
 i 
 
would wish to associate with. There is 
 ;not one bad, malicious thought in that 
 face. The faculties 19, 21, 7, 8, 24, 13, 
 imake of her an ideal companion for 
 i sweet home life ; the kind that all worthy 
 ■men want, and is possible to get if they 
 are well versed in the art that we are 
 teaching. 
 
 Fig. 17 is devoted more to material 
 
 pleasures for herself than for anyone else 
 
 and she wouldn't hesitate a moment to 
 
 obtain such pleasure at the expense of 
 
 any sacrifice upon the part of others. 
 
 ; It is not her nature to be grateful to any 
 
 one for a favor. She would be pleased 
 
 Ifor the favor, but as to any sentimental 
 
 Reeling towards the giver, such a thing 
 
 would not enter her mind after her own 
 
 selfish propensities — Nos. 9, 41, 33, 25, 
 
 had been fully satisfied. She would not 
 
 'hesitate to indulge in flirtations if they 
 
 were profitable to her. 
 
 The face of Fig. 16 shows no desire 
 to be anything but a quiet, inoffensive, 
 home-loving wife and mother, but the 
 expression in Fig. 18 is full of business, 
 whether it is to assist a husband in his 
 ! own labors, or to run a business of her 
 own — more likely the latter, and while 
 she has a head for business, she will not 
 neglect one single friend. Her Friendship 
 (23) and her honesty and Conscientious- 
 |ness (21) hold within bounds her great 
 desire to accumulate property too rapidly 
 through Acquisitiveness (39) not allow- 
 ing any discrepancies to appear, and she 
 
 71 
 
would not hesitate to help the poor and 
 needy in a limited degree, but she is 
 not so apt to give a "hand out" as the 
 type of Fig. 16 would do. 
 
 The character of Fig. 19 is another 
 of a selfish nature but more on the pe- 
 nurious, avaricious order than Fig. 17. 
 
 2a 
 
 She is the kind that is always econ- 
 omizing on everything possible, for in- 
 stance: — if you were being entertained 
 at her home, she would skimp on what 
 she had to eat, and what would be of the 
 least trouble to prepare ; she would have 
 all the lights in the house turned out ex- 
 cept the ones over the very spot where 
 you were sitting, and if by any chance 
 
 72 
 
you should wander into a convenient 
 nook for a quiet seance by yourself and 
 should knock a hole in your head from 
 the unlighted gas fixture she would be 
 mortified at her forgetfulness (?) in "not 
 seeing to things better", and might per- 
 haps, patch up the hole that her negli- 
 gence had caused; but when she returns 
 your visit, and finds your home all so 
 cheerful and cosy and comfortable in 
 every nook and corner with lights ablaze 
 in profusion, she enjoys it at your ex- 
 pense but she is "too poor" to provide a 
 similar pleasure for you. 
 
 She is old-maidish in all her social 
 views, and is decidedly particular in the 
 entertainment of gentlemen friends with- 
 out having a chaperon for protection. 
 
 The bump of Acquisitiveness and the 
 one of Firmness are both so large that 
 they pinch her features into the smallest 
 space possible. 
 
 She would not attempt to gain 
 through flirtations because no one would 
 flirt with her, and if she ever succeeded 
 in "catching" a husband, it would pro- 
 bably be from mercenary principles on 
 his part, anticipation of an idle life and 
 physical pleasures in a comfortable lim- 
 ousine with others more agreeable and 
 more in harmony with his own base de- 
 signs, while his wife was busily engaged 
 at home in her wifely duties. 
 
 She would very likely have accumu- 
 lated considerable property before she 
 "landed" a husband for "better or for 
 
 73 
 
worse" as her personal attractions would 
 not appeal to any of the masculine per- 
 suasion, although her intellectuality is 
 decidedly predominant; which also goes 
 to show that a predominance of intellect 
 is not what the vast majority of men, 
 whether of high or low type, are looking 
 for in women kind, which is unfortunate ' 
 for progression in the human race of the 
 future. Again we say, "Wake up, 
 everybody!!!" 
 
 Fig. 17 cares nothing for money ex- 
 cept to get it for the purchase of the lat- 
 est styles of fashion in which to decorate 
 herself for new conquests. 
 
 Pig. 19 cares for nothing but money 
 with which to pile up in her safe-deposit- 
 vault until the roof bulges from the force 
 of it. She doesn't feel sorry for the un- 
 fortunate cripples, the worthy poor, nor 
 the indiscreet, unprotected mothers who 
 have been sinned against rather than sin- 
 ned. She thinks she is religious because 
 she says her prayers every day and asks 
 for her own salvation — not that she 
 thinks she has done anything wrong in 
 this life, for she hasn't swindled anyone, 
 but because she wants to be on the "safe 
 side" in the opinion of her Maker. 
 
 "SAFETY FIRST" FOR BOYS. 
 
 To determine whether a woman is a 
 tidy housekeeper or not, notice particu- 
 larly, if the faculties 36, 30 and 10 are 
 round and fully developed. No. 36 
 
 74 
 
gives a desire to keep things in order; 
 30 loves the beautiful in everything and 
 detests filthy habits; 10 gives self re- 
 spect; large 22 gives the ambition to ex- 
 cel others in the general appearance of 
 the home and of herself ; such a woman 's 
 clothes will never be unpresentable, 
 whether it be kitchen or parlor costume. 
 Her shoes will never run over at the heel ; 
 her kitchen apron will be white and spot- 
 less ; her kitchen floor will never be a 
 catch-all for crumbs to be trampled 
 under the feet and to track all over the 
 rest of the house ; her street costume will 
 never show a soiled skirt below or under- 
 neath the dress; her hose will not be 
 holey; she will never be decorated with 
 highly colored cosmetics; she will be sen- 
 sible, pure and sweet, worthy of any 
 worthy wholesome man, who is in vibra- 
 tory correspondence with herself. 
 
 A kind hearted girl is never disre- 
 spectful to her parents, and is always 
 ready to help her mother without being 
 asked to do so. She is cheerful around 
 the home and never is petulant and cross 
 to anybody, not even to her brothers and 
 sisters, and, boys, if she isn't pleasant to 
 the mother who would sacrifice all of her 
 own comforts, and work from daylight 
 till dark every day and every year, to see 
 that she is well provided for in clothes 
 and education, you don't want that kind 
 of a girl. She would never be pleasant 
 around her own home, no matter how 
 much attention she was getting from you. 
 
 75 
 
Safety first before it is too late to re- 
 tract. 
 
 When you find a girl who will dis- 
 apoint you to "help out a tired mother, or 
 a tired sister, don't be angry with her 
 but thank your stars that you are lucky 
 enough to know that kind of a girl, and 
 if ever anything happens that you "fall 
 in love" with each other, we truly hope 
 you will never abuse her loveliness, for 
 that kind of a girl needs and deserves a 
 worthy husband, one who will never 
 neglect her nor be untrue in any sense of 
 the word. 
 
 Paces Pretty and Plain, Very Important 
 to Consider. 
 
 Frivolous girls with pretty feet and 
 faces 
 
 Think of naught but self and amuse- 
 ment places; 
 
 But homely features with prettiest 
 of ways 
 
 Are the dependable kind who seek 
 no praise. 
 
 And, boys, when a pretty girl asks 
 you if her unknown rival is pretty you 
 can depend upon her as being vain and 
 thinks of nothing but praise for herself; 
 if she neglects to ask if her rival is intelli- 
 gent and sensible, you can put her down 
 as being very deficient in both, and as 
 small faculties of Individuality, Compari- 
 son, Causality, Conscientiousness, Self- 
 esteem, Gratitude, which gives one the 
 desire to know something worth know- 
 
 76 
 
ing; to do the right thing by all; to be 
 useful and have ability to accomplish 
 great things; and to be thankful and 
 grateful for what they receive from 
 others. 
 
 She has large mind faculties of self- 
 ishnesst — such as Approbativteness, Sec- 
 retiveness, Destructiveness, Acquisitive- 
 ness, Amativeness. 
 
 The first (22) wants nothing but 
 praises, petting and pampering and 
 pretty clothes to wear and auto rides and 
 somewhere to go at someone's else ex- 
 pense; she never thinks of nor cares if 
 her "fellow" can't afford all she wants; 
 the second (33) makes her secret in her 
 manner of obtaining the things that suit 
 her extravagant desires; the third (41) 
 gives a tendency to destroy any kind 
 feeling that her friends may have to- 
 wards others where it interferes with 
 her own affairs; the fourth (39) is an 
 active assistant to 33 being mercenary 
 and diplomatic enough to obtain things 
 without any inconvenience to herself; 
 the fifth (25) furnishes the magnetic 
 soporific influence that hypnotizes the 
 fellow into doing anything she suggests 
 if his pocket book will withstand the 
 strain. 
 
 She soon "runs dry" of anything to 
 say because she never reads the daily 
 events; never studies educational sub- 
 jects; perhaps has her mind on a cheap 
 love novel; never thinks of literature of 
 any kind; and never has enough energy 
 
 77 
 
left after all of her social conquests to 
 want to learn of things worth while, 
 therefore, knows of nothing worth while 
 to talk about, however, it is far better 
 to keep still than to indulge in malicious 
 gossip and ridicule of some of her ac- 
 quaintances, who have much more intel- 
 ligence than she has. 
 
 In nine cases out of ten with "pret- 
 ty' ' girls it is more the fault of the par- 
 ents, who have spoiled them through 
 making them conscious of their "good 
 looks", than it is with the girls them- 
 selves, and by these means have built on 
 or added to the bumps of vanity and self- 
 ishness and deceitfulness in the girl, in- 
 stead of ennobling her facial beauty with 
 the beauties of brilliancy and intellect. 
 
 The girl with homely features is far 
 more apt to have a kind, considerate, af- 
 fectionate disposition — large mind fac- 
 ulties of 7, 21, A, 23, 13, 10, 34, 24, 5, 16, 
 19, 20, 32 — all good qualities and an hon- 
 est desire to know things worth knowing, 
 and to do kind deeds for others, and rare- 
 ly thinks of anything selfish. 
 
 Take your choice, boys. You are fa- 
 miliar now with the surface indicators, 
 and the rest is up to you. 
 
 GOSSIPING. 
 
 Comes directly from 22, as that faculty 
 is unreasonably jealous of others' success 
 socially, and if 41 and 33 are large, such 
 a person will pretend to one's face to be 
 
 78 
 
their best friend, and then turn around 
 and through detestable jealousy and vi- 
 ciousness will make sly, oily, innocent re- 
 marks, hoping that their listeners will 
 be gullible enough to believe and swallow 
 every word they did say and imagine a 
 lot more things that they didn't say. 
 
 A little accurate knowledge of the 
 dceitfulness that lurks underneath that 
 cranium would be a blessing to any who 
 might be obliged to listen to their gossip- 
 ing remarks, and have the courage to re- 
 fute it, with insistence, to the detriment 
 of the offender. 
 
 Beware of all gossipers, for no one 
 knows when their own turn on the pre- 
 ferred list will be brought into public 
 view. Our lady Fig. 17 would make an 
 expert gossiper. 
 
 MISSTATEMENTS EXPOSED. 
 
 We once heard an amateur cranios- 
 copist make the assertion that when 
 Spirituality (No. 19) was very large that 
 such a person thought they "saw things" 
 and heard " voices' ' in the air, but that 
 it was only imagination on their part, 
 caused by superstition and ignorance. 
 This amateur has not recognized that the 
 brain is simply the physical instrument 
 through which the mind functions, the 
 mind using this brain being the spiritual 
 man, and that Spirituality is just as 
 much manifested in reality, as any other 
 mind faculty, also that a person with that 
 
 79 
 
very large, is exceedingly sensitive to 
 sounds that ordinary mortals are uncon- 
 scious of, and also such are extremely 
 psychic and sensitive to any invisible in- 
 fluence, on account of their being upon 
 a far higher plane of vibration than those 
 who never experience any such phenom- 
 ena. 
 
 For the same reason, the faculty of 
 Tune (No. 28) when very large, hears 
 delicate strains in music, that others with 
 no faculty of Tune, would not detect at 
 all, though in each case one person would 
 have just as healthy auditory nerves as 
 the other, but that is no proof that there 
 are no delicate sounds in music as this 
 amateur would have you believe con- 
 cerning "voices' 1 in the air. 
 
 In the writer's own words we illus- 
 trate the faculty of 
 
 POSITIVENESS. 
 
 Positiveness is the combination of 
 large faculties, 9, 10, 11, 19, 41, 25, giving 
 one the power to dominate the person 
 who has smaller faculties of the same 
 kind, without even speaking to or touch- 
 ing that person, as an instance of my own 
 experience: — walking along the sidewalk 
 about 100 feet ahead of me, I spied a girl 
 friend of mine among a lot of other 
 pedestrians, and I wanted her to stop and 
 wait for me. I put my positive forces at 
 work, and she kept looking around back 
 of her but didn't see me ; in a moment she 
 
 80 
 
turned the corner towards her own home, 
 entirely out of my sight, and I saw her 
 coming back around the corner, and met 
 me. I asked her what she came for and 
 she could give no reason, but I knew why 
 and told her. 
 
 At many other times while concen- 
 trating my mind upon the analysis of 
 strangers that I had never seen before, 
 they would often turn around their whole 
 body and look me straight in the eye, 
 which indisputably proves that one mind 
 of a positive or determined nature does 
 have influence over another of less posi- 
 tiveness. As one proof, in my own ex- 
 perience, I have stood at the foot of a 
 sick bed, and without touching the 
 patient who was suffering the most ex- 
 cruciating pain and so nervous that she 
 would almost leap from the bed, with my 
 power of concentration and magnetism 
 Nos. 11, 9, 41, 34, 25, I could quiet her in 
 barely a minute of time until she would 
 drop off to sleep. 
 
 I w r ould feel exhaustion for a few 
 moments but the normal condition would 
 soon return, and I would be ready for 
 the work again. Many times I have per- 
 manently cured violent nervous head- 
 aches, in less than 10 minutes, but in 
 this case I am obliged to hold the head 
 between my hands, for the purpose of 
 more localized concentration. 
 
 These experiences are related only 
 to show that any person may have these 
 positive faculties in their head, unbe- 
 
 81 
 
Known to themselves, as was the fact in 
 my own case, until I had ^earned to 
 analyze myself, and then experimented 
 out of curiosity. 
 
 FIRMNESS AND PARENTAL LOVE IN 
 PREFERENCE TO DESTRUCTIVE- 
 NESS AND BRUTE FORCE FOR 
 GOVERNING CHILDREN. 
 
 Destructiveness and Combativeness 
 and Firmness are three faculties of the 
 mind that forces everybody else out of 
 the way, if the person who excercises it 
 has the brute strength to carry out the 
 intention, and in no other place does it 
 crop out so forcibly, and so often, inex- 
 cusably, as in the home. In other places 
 it would very quickly run its head 
 against a stone wall. 
 
 If parents would recognize the fact, 
 that any disposition in their children, 
 comes not from the child's own volition, 
 but from their own ignorance or indif- 
 ference in their progenerating relations, 
 haphazard amorous passions, pre-natal 
 influences and incontinency, injurious to 
 good results, perhaps, yes perhaps they 
 would exercise some sense. 
 
 "When from some of these deplorable 
 influences and impressions upon the little 
 mind that is slowly growing into physical 
 life, it soon manifests, after birth, pre- 
 dominant selfish faculties, then is the 
 time to remould those characteristics, be- 
 cause they are then in a re-moulding con- 
 
 82 
 
dition, while the longer they are left to 
 I their natural course, the more they be- 
 come hardened and set from their con- 
 tinued violent activity in expressing 
 | themselves, and the more difficult that 
 j condition is to control. 
 
 As soon as the little toddling ball of 
 humanity begins to assert itself, and 
 fights for its own way, in spite of reproof, 
 you will know at once that the faculties 
 of Destructiveness (41) and Combative- 
 ness (34) and Firmness (9) are dominant 
 I at that time, and if it is selfish with its 
 ; playthings or with anything it has, and 
 | won't allow other children to share with 
 ! it alike, then the faculty of Acquisitive- 
 I ness (39) is also dominant. The head 
 will be very wide between the ears in 
 proportion to the length, and height 
 above the ears, which is not a desirable 
 indication and should be re-moulded so 
 far as possible without any delay or ne- 
 glect on the part of the parents. 
 
 If the babe is of a pleasant, laughing 
 disposition it needs no re-moulding until 
 later when the faculties have become 
 more established, and perhaps no faculty 
 will become displeasing at any time in 
 its life. 
 
 When a parent ever tries to enforce 
 obedience in children, while they are un- 
 der an uncontrolled fit of Destructive- 
 ness, the child is not alone insulted by 
 brute force, but realizes that it is the ob- 
 ject of violent anger, rather than the 
 object of reproof from Parental Love and 
 
 83 
 
devotion, and ,such parent forces into 
 that child dislike for him or herself, and 
 promotes the undesirable faculty of too 
 much Destructiveness and Combativeness 
 for the future welfare of the child, when 
 if the parent had used Firmness (9) and 
 Parental Love (13) and Conscientious- 
 ness (21) instead, for obtaining obedi- 
 ence, neither the child nor the parent 
 would have suffered therefrom. 
 
 Quoting again in the author's words: 
 
 I well remember how my father 
 would display activity of Destructiveness 
 around the home when he would hit his 
 toe against a chair in the night, then 
 slam the chair into the corner out of his 
 way, but when I had disobeyed him (as 
 I often did through mischeviousness) his 
 Destructiveness never was manifest, but 
 his Firmness and Parental Love always 
 remembered that he had promised to 
 punish me for disobedience about two 
 days after what I had done, had happen- 
 ed. 
 
 The dread I always had of that com- 
 ing event, was the hardest part of my 
 punishment, although the latter was no 
 small affair. 
 
 My affection for him was always of 
 the greatest intensity and of the highest 
 respect and he never caused me one 
 moment of anger against his method of 
 punishment, nor against him, for I was 
 well aware of the fact that I was deserv- 
 ing of all I got. 
 
 84 
 
Had he punished me in a violent fit 
 of anger, my Combativeness and Firm- 
 ness would have rebelled and defied him 
 and would have caused me to leave home 
 to get rid of the insult he had delivered 
 through brute force. 
 
 It is extremely disgraceful in parents 
 to so lose control of their senses as to 
 drive a child out of the home, and if they 
 then stumble into disgrace among disin- 
 terested strangers, the sin will be upon 
 no one's head but that of the parents, 
 for they were the first cause of the child's 
 disobedience, through their own incon- 
 sistent persistent incontinency which is 
 criminally injurious to the moulding of 
 good qualities in the new physical and 
 mental compounding process before the 
 child is born, and afterwards, through 
 their lack of understanding that mild 
 but firm Persuasiveness and judicious 
 reasoning is far better for re-moulding 
 character than by unreasonable and un- 
 controlled faculties of Destructiveness 
 and Combativeness too predominant in 
 their own heads. 
 
 Destructiveness will fly into a sud- 
 den fit of passion, with the slightest prov- 
 ocation, and do the most ridiculous and 
 foolish things without an instant's hesi- 
 tation, if Cautiousness cannot modify it. 
 As an illustration: When my father in 
 trying to drive a nail would miss it and 
 hit his finger with the hammer instead of 
 the nail, he would instantly throw that 
 hammer clear out of sight — a foolish 
 
 85 
 
thing to do I thought at the time, because 
 I had to hunt for the hammer while he 
 sat down to get over the excitement. 
 
 When Destructiveness runs wild very 
 long at a time, the intense activity of 
 that mind faculty draws all the blood a- 
 way from the stomach, upsets the diges- 
 tive organs and often leaves a very ran- 
 cid taste in the mouth, as some of our 
 readers possibly can testify has been 
 their own experience. 
 
 CHOOSING CHILDREN 
 FOR ADOPTION. 
 
 The most important part of this prob- 
 lem is to have a practical understanding 
 of Human Nature, and to obtain this in 
 the speediest manner is to study "Mod- 
 ern Foresight" from start to finish, for 
 there is not a superfluous word on its 
 pages. Then, analyze every person you 
 see and within a month's time you will be 
 pretty well established in the art of 
 "catching people on sight." 
 
 You can rest assured of one thing in 
 the choice of children. If the head does 
 not contain a faculty of the mind that 
 represents a certain kind of disposition 
 or trait or grade of intelligence that you 
 think you must have, it will be impossi- 
 ble to obtain it without persistency upon 
 your part to remould and develop it. 
 
 It is a very difficult proposition to 
 find a satisfactory combination of facul- 
 
 86 
 
ties at the outset, but if you will memor- 
 ize all the surface indicators in our work, 
 and then remodel the faculties that 
 are abnormal, either too much or too lit- 
 tle, good results can be accomplished, but 
 by insistent persistency is the only way it 
 can be done. We could, perhaps, assist 
 you quite considerably if we had photo- 
 graphs of a child taken according to our 
 directions on another page of this book. 
 
 UNCONSCIOUSLY TEACHING 
 
 CHILDREN TO CULTIVATE UN- 
 
 TRUTHFULNESS AND DECEPTION. 
 
 Nearly every mother teaches her own 
 children to be deceitful and tell false- 
 hoods. 
 
 That assertion may seem to the 
 mothers, to be a downright falsehood, 
 but we will quickly prove the truth of it. 
 
 When a mother tells a child to not 
 do a certain thing and the child pays no 
 attention to the command and the mother 
 does nothing thereafter in reproof, the 
 child's Combativeness, Firmness, and 
 Causality reasons that its mother didn't 
 mean what she said, and really was fib- 
 bing and that he had as much right to 
 fib as his mother did. 
 
 When a mother tells a child that if 
 he don't stop doing something that the 
 bogie man will get him, and the child 
 keeps right on disobeying, he knows that 
 his mother is fibbing to him and that if 
 
 87 
 
she has a right to tell naughty stories, 
 that he has too, and does it. 
 
 When the mother tells her little girl 
 that if she don't stop crying and making 
 such a noise, that she will wake the baby 
 and the baby don't wake up from the 
 noise, she " sees" that her mother was 
 fibbing to her and that if nothing hurts 
 her mamma for telling naughty stories, 
 that she can do it too without getting 
 hurt. 
 
 If the mother tells Bobbie, "Come 
 right here this minute or I will punish 
 you," and Bobbie's Combativeness be- 
 comes active to the extent that he does 
 not budge an inch in her direction — and 
 his mother "forgets" to punish him for 
 disobeying, his Approbativeness, Secret- 
 iveness and Causality are reasoning 
 "I should worry; mamma never means 
 what she says about punishing 'cause she 
 never punishes me, and if it don't hurt 
 her to fib it won't hurt me," 
 
 If the parents correct their children 
 in a high-pitched voice, the child recog- 
 nizes anger at once, and not love for 
 them and immediately resents it to the 
 extent that he will study up some excuse 
 to get out of blame and perhaps punish- 
 ment, and if he succeeds in the scheme 
 just so much more deceitfulness and un- 
 truthfulness have been added to the 
 already undesirable faculty of Secretive- 
 ness and Approbativeness, while if a firm, 
 natural pitch of voice is used in reprov- 
 ing the child the effect will be to create 
 
 88 
 
faith, in the honesty of the parents, obed- 
 ience on the part of the child and corres- 
 ponding development in his faculty of 
 Conscientiousness and filial affection. 
 
 When parents are partial to one 
 child more than another, such an act 
 creates selfishness in the favored one — 
 (Nos. 21, 7, A, being restrained and made 
 smaller, while No. 22 and 10 are added 
 to, producing disagreeable and domineer- 
 ing traits.) In the neglected child, the 
 faculties of Secretiveness (33) and (34), 
 Combativeness and (41), Destructiveness 
 are all cultivated and made more promin- 
 ent in order to better defend the one 
 imposed upon by the parent, therefore 
 the parent is creating disagreeable traits 
 in both children, by his or her partiality, 
 and in after years when strangers com- 
 plain of both children being overbearing 
 or disrespectful to others, the parents 
 will tell you that neither one of them in- 
 herited such a disposition — but they do 
 not tell you how they came by it through 
 their own unreasonable partiality, and 
 deference to one more than the other, 
 because they have both neglected to edu- 
 cate themselves up to that degree of pro- 
 gression in caring for children, and do 
 not know of the baneful results. 
 
 No one can deny that the above in- 
 cidents do take place every day in nearly 
 every American family, and that such in- 
 fluence on children does grind into their 
 wondering and plastic minds the deplor- 
 
 89 
 
able faculty of lying about everything, 
 even telling unreasonable lies if it suits 
 their fancy. 
 
 And why do mothers insist upon de- 
 veloping that faculty in their own mites 
 of humanity — thej little innocents who 
 are of their own flesh and blood, mutely 
 wondering at all things about them, 
 ready to accept and learn the best that 
 can be taught? 
 
 Such mothers have too large facul- 
 ties of Parental Love and Spirituality, 
 and too small faculty of Firmness to de- 
 velop in their children characteristics 
 that make them lovable and respectful 
 to themselves and to friends instead of a 
 nuisance, and what a pity, for the little 
 souls are not to blame — no one to blame 
 but their own indulgent mothers, and 
 sometimes fathers. 
 
 The newly-born babe is rarely ever 
 developed in the forehead part of the 
 brain, since nature only requires that 
 part at first representing the physical, 
 emotional, and volitional part of the 
 brain and until the intellectual teachings 
 of the parents can have recognitio'n upon 
 the undeveloped, mouldable frontal lobes 
 and faculties is it necessary for the de- 
 velopment of the intellect to commence, 
 therefore, the value of the influences 
 through the constant associations of the 
 mother and child depends absolutely, up- 
 on the degree of firmness or laxity of 
 the mother. 
 
 90 
 
PERSISTENT INCONSISTENCIES 
 
 IN PARENTS ACCELERATE 
 
 DECEITFULNESS IN THEIR 
 
 PROGENY. 
 
 One of the most regrettable condi- 
 tions in a family is lack of co-ordination 
 in the parents, first, in their attitude to- 
 wards each other in the presence or hear- 
 ing of their children, and secondly, upon 
 all matters concerning the present and 
 future welfare of their growing young- 
 sters. 
 
 Children depend upon their parents 
 for demonstrative affection, sympathy, 
 and honesty of purpose, therefore when 
 their father and mother disagree, in their 
 presence, how they should be governed, 
 or what they should study at school, or 
 what church they should attend, they 
 certainly can't have faith in either one's 
 good judgement and feel sure that one or 
 the other of their parents are acting out of 
 dishonesty of purpose, or, are upholding 
 their own stubborn convictions at the ex- 
 pense of their embarassed and bewilder- 
 ed children, and under these circum- 
 stances they must depend in great mea- 
 sure upon strangers for advice, and they 
 are not slow in getting it, for they have 
 no other recourse, to their own sad ex- 
 perience sometimes. 
 
 The direct cause of all this condition 
 is that both parents are equally endowed 
 with the faculty of Stubbornness (9) 
 sometimes called Firmness. That faculty 
 
 91 
 
when very large, will never give up to 
 another, much less, to the other half of 
 the family head, not even to save their 
 young from leaving home in disgust and 
 disgrace. Parents of this kind, who have 
 not enough Parental Love, and Conscien- 
 tiousness and Benevolence to soften their 
 Stubborness ought never to bring child- 
 ren into the world, filled full of distrust, 
 Deceitfulness, f (33), Secretiveness, Des- 
 tructiveness, (41) and with small Spirit- 
 uality (19), Friendship (23), (12), (13) 
 and (20) all selfish, disagreeable faculties 
 to harrass society with. 
 
 If such people only had known 
 before marriage, how to ferret out these 
 inharmonious traits in themselves, what 
 a different life could have been theirs, 
 but, they do not learn and will they ever 
 learn? 
 
 SCHOOL TEACHERS' RESPONSIBILI- 
 TIES TO PUPILS. 
 
 If school teachers were well versed 
 in the science of cranioscopy, as they 
 should by all means be, they would know 
 exactly what was necessary on their part 
 to obtain willing obedience from each 
 and every pupil, also what particular 
 studies would be easy, and what would 
 be hard for them to learn. 
 
 For examples: — If a boy has large 
 Destructiveness (41) Mirthfulness (29) 
 Approbativeness (22) Friendship (23) he 
 will be full of mischievousness and would 
 
 92 
 
much rather play than study but such a 
 boy is more apt to have also large mem- 
 ory which comes from Individuality (3) 
 Language (1) and Eventuality (4) yes, 
 and Secretiveness (3.3). He would have 
 his lessons before the rest of the pupils 
 could get ready to start on them, and not 
 having anything else to do would slyly 
 conjure up something ridiculous, as 
 quickly at the expense of the teacher as 
 of the rest of the pupils. 
 
 The teacher knowing of all these 
 characteristics would be diplomatic and 
 have something "very important" for 
 bim to occupy his leisure time with such 
 as giving her some assistance, when if the 
 teacher knew nothing of Head and Face 
 analyzing, and would bring into violent 
 activity all of her own Destructiveness 
 and Combativeness and try to compel the 
 boy to desist in his fun, the result might 
 be very disastrous to his future welfare, 
 and would be, more likely than not. 
 
 If a pupil had large faculties of Nos. 
 5, 16, 11, 10, 4, with a mental tempera- 
 ment, he would be altogether too studi- 
 ous for his own physical health and would 
 need different treatment from the other 
 lad — out-of-door treatment in the fresh 
 air, or beng assistant in athletic exer- 
 cises, 
 
 If a pupil did not have any Event- 
 uality it would be a waste of energy for 
 such a one to study history, just the same 
 as it would be if he had not Time nor 
 Tune, to study music, or if he had no 
 
 93 
 
Form, Size, Weight, Color, to study Art, 
 or, if he had no Construe tiveness (39), 
 Form (2) and (36) to study Mathematics. 
 With all these enumerated instances and jL 
 in all others, however, the abnormal fac- 
 ulties could be restrained and deficient 
 faculties cultivated, if the teacher had so 
 much knowledge of this science as she 
 does have of all the accepted and stand- 
 ard works for educational improvment. 
 
 SCHOOL CHILDREN PECULIARITIES. 
 
 VICIOUSNESS— has large 41 for its cen- 
 ter, with 34-25 usually large and 7- 
 21 small. 
 
 STUBBORNNESS— is made up of 9, 22, 
 34. If it is of a forceful kind, No. 
 41 is added. 
 
 SENSITIVENESS— is made up of 22-32- 
 7-8, with deficient 34-10-6. 
 
 FALSEHOOD PERSISTENCY— consists 
 of 22-31-19-33, with deficient 21-10. 
 
 MORALITY — consists of the two neces- 
 sary elements, 21-7. 
 
 AFFECTIONATE DISPOSITION— con- 
 sists of very large 23-12 and medium 
 25, with deficient 41-9. 
 
 LOVE OF STUDY— consists of 5-16-4-30- 
 31-22-21. 
 
 PLAYFULNESS— consists principally of 
 41, assisted attentively by 29-25-34. 
 Teasing is the result of 22, as that 
 faculty likes to crow over the fun. 
 
 94 
 
J TIMIDITY— consists wholly of 32-43-31, 
 
 with small 34, 10 and 41. 
 
 It is almost impossible for a person 
 
 I to look you deliberately in the face, and 
 
 | lie, unless he has perfected himself in the 
 
 I art. The lips will quiver or the eyes will 
 
 drop, or the face will change expression. 
 
 It is an easy thing to recognize the 
 j deceit in a child's face under the age of 
 twelve years. 
 
 IMPOSSIBILITIES 
 
 IN 
 HUMAN BEINGS. 
 
 To accomplish things great, that is, 
 to be famous in the eyes of the world, 
 abnormal faculties, or an unbalanced 
 brain must be dominant. It is an impos- 
 sibility to be remarkably brilliant, with- 
 out some particular mind faculty being 
 developed far in excess of all other facul- 
 ties. 
 
 To accomplish ordinary success, it is 
 an impossibility to be absolutely certain 
 of results without a knowledge of the 
 dominant or most developed faculties 
 that one possesses before any vocation has 
 been decided upon. 
 
 Any other haphazard method would 
 be as apt to strike it wrong as right, or 
 vice versa. Without the understanding 
 of mind faculties in parents, it is an im- 
 possibility for them to offer any sugges- 
 
 95 
 
tions or any advice to their children as to 
 the vocation that they should follow and 
 to choose the wrong kind might be their 
 ruination, for example: If a young man 
 was largely endowed with the faculties of 
 Destructiveness, Secretiveness, Construc- 
 tiveness, Approbativeness, Firmness, Sub- 
 limity, Combativeness, Amativeness it 
 would be the worst thing that ever could 
 happen to himself and family, if his 
 mother, who was very pious, would insist 
 that he should be a clergyman. 
 
 Or, if a daughter had very large 
 mind faculties of Imitation, Time Tune, 
 Mirthfulness, Suavity, Friendship, Self- 
 esteem she would be an utter failure at 
 anything but theatrical work, or of some 
 vocation in the musical or entertainment 
 line, because she could think of nothing 
 else, no matter how much urging from 
 parents and friends she was getting to 
 take up something else. 
 
 Hundreds of other comparisons could 
 be made which would be equally as im- 
 possible of success in life where the voca- 
 tion adopted was only guessed at, and 
 sufficient proof of our assertion is evident 
 when one considers all the business fail- 
 ures that we read of every day, and of 
 the many friends who are switching 
 around from "pillar to post" trying to 
 find some employment that they can ex- 
 cel in enough to hold a position 
 permanently.

 QUALIFICATIONS OF AN A I 
 SALESMAN. 
 
 To be a good salesman it requires a 
 combination of special ; characteristics, 
 not necessary in any other vocation. 
 
 100 
 
First of all Mental, Vital Tempera- 
 ment must be dominant. This gives dy- 
 namic activity in a prominent mental and 
 physical organism. Human nature must 
 be very large (Faculty, No. 6 convex 
 surface) which can see the peculiarities 
 of a prospective customer at the first 
 glance. 
 
 Then Language must be large in or- 
 der to have words at the tongue's end to 
 express one's self. 
 
 Then Suavity must be very large in 
 order to be agreeable; in no way offen- 
 sive in manner or conduct. 
 
 Mirthfulness must be ready at the 
 psychological moment to spring a witty 
 remark, or tell a funny story. 
 
 Locality must be good that one will 
 not forget one's where-a-bouts nor get 
 lost in the shuffle, nor be absent-minded. 
 
 Secretiveness must be dominant to 
 not over-step the limitations of business 
 secrets. 
 
 Friendship must also be large to 
 want to be friendly and mix with casual 
 acquaintances for sociable and perhaps 
 profitable results. 
 
 Combativeness is very necessary to 
 generate continuous action and hard dil- 
 igent application to the work in hand. 
 
 Cautiousness should be large enough 
 to not deal with people who are irrespon- 
 sible, nor to have a tendency to over- 
 stock a prospective customer so much 
 that regrets and cancelations are made 
 afterwards. 
 
 101 
 
Time and Eventuality should be 
 good that one never forgets names of 
 customers, and to always be punctual in 
 promises, even to the minute, as a mo- 
 ment's delay often upsets other arrange- 
 ments which are not easily over-looked 
 by the disappointed one. 
 
 Order is quite essential, in that there 
 will be no time lost in looking for artic- 
 les that otherwise would be left around 
 in a helter-skelter fashion. 
 
 Amativeness should be only medium 
 in degree — just enough to make one po- 
 lite and courteous; too much of this fac- 
 ulty would have too many "love affairs " 
 in different towns to admit of diligent 
 salesmanship. 
 
 Alimentiveness should also be of 
 medium degree, else the salesman would 
 imbibe too freely of that which muddles 
 the brain. 
 
 Individuality should be large so no- 
 thing worth while would escape observa- 
 tion. 
 
 Approbativeness is another very es- 
 sential faculty in a good salesman ; it al- 
 ways gives a desire to excel in business 
 getting, as much to be on the topmost 
 round of success above competitors, as to 
 keep the employer end of the line, busy 
 filling orders; it also keeps the personal 
 appearance of a salesman in presentable 
 condition. 
 
 The facial indicators : — prominent 
 Perceptive faculties just above the eyes 
 
 102 
 
and eyebrows ; full eyeballs and a snappy 
 expression of the eye; a straight well 
 developed nose; a long stiff upper lip; 
 a mouth with straight horizontal closure 
 and medium thickness of lips; a promin- 
 ent square chin ; cheeks that are full ; and 
 an ear that is rounding at the top and 
 bottom, and stands out from the head. 
 
 HEAD READING BY PHOTOGRAPHS 
 AND MEASUREMENTS. 
 
 If our readers are not satisfied with 
 their own analysis by the mirror plan, 
 and cannot determine what vocation they 
 should engage in, we will do what we can 
 in a personal way to assist any who will 
 follow our directions explicitly: — 
 
 Have three different photographic 
 views made of your head — one square 
 front — one square back and one square 
 side similar to the Figs. A, B, C, with 
 plain dark or gray back-ground. For 
 the front view have the camera at the ele- 
 vation that will show the outline of the 
 top-head from the hair-line back to head 
 faculty No. 9 but not looking down too 
 much. The camera ought to be on a 
 level with the eyes. 
 
 The lighting must be so the head 
 stands out in relief, and not look as 
 though it was stuck on to the paper, and 
 it can be done with a kodak, if you can 
 produce a head one inch in diameter with 
 the camera at six feet distant from the 
 
 103 
 
subject, otherwise have it done in a stu- 
 dio on a postal card. We don't want 
 any retouching done on the negatives. 
 
 Send us two prints from each nega- 
 tive, unmounted. 
 
 The long hair of a woman must be 
 combed down flat and tight to the head, 
 and pulled around out of sight in the 
 photograph. A man's hair should also 
 lay flat and smooth and with the profile 
 view, must show "part" in the hair. 
 
 Measure the head according to Pig. 
 24. Give the distance around the head 
 on the line A from the center of the fore- 
 head around the most prominent part of 
 the back-head. 
 
 Distance of the dotted line B from 
 the root of the nose up over the top and 
 
 104 
 
down to the bony point in the lower 
 back-head. Distance from the ear open- 
 ing on one side, over the top of the head 
 and down to the other ear opening'. 
 
 Give us also the correct height, 
 weight, and size of body at the waist line 
 and under arms, beneath clothing. 
 
 Give color of hair, eyes and complex- 
 ion, age and amount of education, pre- 
 vious occupation, health, and if married 
 or single. 
 
 We will retain one set of prints, and 
 return the duplicate set to you with your 
 "reading" marked on the Chart. 
 
 You can send us five personal ques- 
 tions, numbering them in rotation, con- 
 cerning yourself or friends on Tempera- 
 ment or Character, and we will answer 
 them upon receipt of 50 cents, or, we will 
 answer no questions but instead will send 
 Chart of your Character and Tempera- 
 ment after receiving your photos and 
 measurements according to our direc- 
 tions, upon receipt of $2.00. In the lat- 
 ter order we will enclose one of our new 
 books — "Modern Foresight" — free of 
 charge. 
 
 Our book gives you all the necessary 
 information to diagnose your own charac- 
 teristics by the use of mirrors but if your 
 own experience in that line does not come 
 up to your anticipations, we can further 
 assist you as above mentioned.

 corners the person is — pessimistic. 
 
 When the closure turns up it de- 
 notes — wit and mirthfulness. 
 
 Straight, and horizontal closure with

 short indicates — unreasonable and un- 
 seasonable temper. 
 
 If long 1 , indicates — a cheerful, happy 
 disposition. 
 
 (Take notice, boys and girls too.) 
 
 VOICE— 
 
 One can easily discern by the nature 
 of the voice, oftentimes, the nature of the 
 person without even having seen them, 
 as follows: — 
 
 A high-pitched voice accompanies a 
 high-strung nature and indicates — intel- 
 lectuality, coldness and nervous tension. 
 
 A low-pitched voice indicates — vital- 
 ity, warmth, and feeling. 
 
 A low voice indicates — great physi- 
 cal and mental energy minus the refining 
 elements. 
 
 A soft voice indicates! — refined, 
 governed and controlled energy. 
 
 A weak and thin voice denotes — lack 
 of vital force.

 assuming disposition. 
 
 HAND SHAKING— 
 
 In the handshake, every one, uncon- 
 sciously "gives themselves away" in 
 general disposition and character. 
 
 Soft Hands indicate — tender hearts; 
 they are yielding in their nature; do not 
 like hard physical labor, nor hardships 
 of any kind. 
 
 The Extreme of this type has a flab- 
 by, limp handshake, which indicates the 
 lazy, idle dreamer who lacks the physi- 
 cal and mental energy to ever accomplish 
 anything worth while. 
 
 Such a person will be very deficient 
 in the Faculties :— 39, 41, 34, 22, 9, 10, 11, 
 5, 16. 
 
 Elastic Hands are the desirable 
 ones : — they have a feeling of life, and re- 
 sistance, energy, push, vim and vigor and 
 in all walks of life are the "up and do- 
 ing'' kind. 
 
 This kind of a hand grasps yours 
 with a firm pressure and honest expres- 
 sion. Their dominating faculties are : 34, 
 22, 9, 6, 3, 10, 25, 24, 13, 21. 
 
 109 
 
Extremely Hard Hands accompany: 
 — hard heads and hearts; they are un- 
 sympathetic, cold, brutal drivers in any 
 position that you may find them, and in 
 the handshake will fairly crush your own 
 in its grasp. Such an individual has 
 very large Faculties of 41, 34, 25, 9, 10 
 and very small ones of 23, 21, 7, 19, 29, 
 32. 
 
 A Clinging Handshake indicates: — 
 strong love nature, sympathetic and af- 
 fectionate. The back of the head is fully 
 developed, and the dominating faculties 
 are 23, 24, 7, 8, 19, 21, 32, 10, 13, 12, A.

FACE INDICATORS. 
 
 Blank faces usually indicate — low 
 mentality. 
 
 Pinched features denote — avarice, 
 parsimoniousness. 
 
 Vacant eyes denote — absentminded- 
 ness. 
 
 Bulgy sacks beneath the eyes — talk- 
 ativeness and mental energy. 
 
 Square chin and jaw — determina- 
 tion. 
 
 Prominent chin, thick and pudgy — 
 insipidity. 
 
 Nose with a high bridge — executive

 TEMPERAMENT. 
 
 Temperament, if well understood, 
 adds greatly to one's skill in the delinea- 
 tion of heads and faces, as it gives one 
 knowledge of the anatomical construction 
 of the physical organism called body, 
 which mind uses as its instrument of ex- 
 pression. 
 
 Ill 
 
To define "Temperament" under- 
 standingly to most of us is somewhat dif- 
 ficult, but in our own opinion the follow- 
 ing may serve most effectually: "It is 
 a particular state of the constitution or 
 organism depending upon the relative 
 proportions of its masses and the relative 
 energy of its functions." 
 
 There are three general classes of 
 
 Temperament: — 
 
 (1) The Motive or mechanical system, in- 
 cluding the bones, the ligaments and the 
 muscles. 
 
 (2) The Vital or nutritive system, invol- 
 ving the lymphatics, the blood vessels. 
 and the glands. 
 
 (3) The Mental or nervous system, in- 
 cluding the brain and spinal cord. 
 
 Some persons have black eyes, others 
 gray, others blue, others brown; some are 
 tall, some short, some lean, some fat; 
 some quick in movement, some slow and 
 deliberate. 
 
 These differences determine the con- 
 stitutional condition (Temperament) and 
 the special quality of the mind is largely 
 due to it. 
 
 Every person has two or more of 
 these in different degrees — one having 
 the Mental temperament in excess and 
 the Vital in a lesser degree, which arrang- 
 ed in correct combination would read — 
 Mental- Vital Temperament. 
 
 112 
 
Another would have the Motive in a 
 predominant degree and the Mental in 
 in the lesser, which would produce a Mo- 
 tive-Mental Temperament and so on in 
 many different combinations, the temper- 
 ament most dominant being the one that 
 determines the first condition. 
 
 When the Motive temperament ex- 
 ceeds the others in development, the 
 body is strong and powerful, athletic in 
 build. 
 
 The face is broad in general outline, the 
 cheek bones prominent, the chin and jaw 
 broad and strong. 
 
 It gives to persons force of charac- 
 ter, industry, courage, and executive 
 ability; are leaders in active life and are 
 often arrogant and domineering. Na- 
 tions of war-like inclinations are spec- 
 ially characterized by the Motive temper- 
 ament. 
 
 The Mental temperament in greater 
 development puts the brain and nervous 
 system in ' the most activity. The fore- 
 head is high, wide at the top and well de- 
 veloped; the features are usually taper- 
 ing and delicate; the hair is fine and sel- 
 dom abundant ; the face is wide above 
 and tapering to a pointed chin; the body 
 slight and its movements rapid. 
 
 . When the Vital temperament pre- 
 dominates in development the nutritive 
 or digestive system is most active. The 
 body is plump; the face is round and full 
 outward from the corners of the mouth-; 
 
 113 
 
the limbs are comparatively short and 
 large; the body is large in the middle, 
 tapering at both ends, and the move- 
 ments are slow. 
 
 Those of the Vital temperament are 
 designed to do sedentary work; they 
 naturally incline to financiering, manag- 
 ing and superintending the work of 
 others; physical exertion is distasteful to 
 them. "When the Vital temperament is 
 reinforced by a well developed brain and 
 muscular system it gives us our commer- 
 cial giants.

 and large faculties of Nos. 23, 33, 6, 17, 
 21, 9, 10, and another with Mental- Vital 
 combination with faculties 3, 36, 38, 39, 
 16, 34, 21, 7, 41, 25, the former adapted 
 to being specially agreeable to customers, 
 having many friends, honesty of purpose 
 and enough secretiveness to use good 
 judgement in buying stock and supplies, 
 the latter having faculties that are quick 
 to discern the natural trend of business, 
 enough order to keep everything in sys- 
 tematic condition, enough Acquisitive- 
 ness to see that the profits are on the 
 right side of the ledger, enough force to 
 not allow things to lag in interest, 
 enough Benevolence and Conscientious- 
 ness to be liberal in charitable enter- 
 prises, and to be honest in all of his part- i 
 nership relations.

SUITABLE COMPARISONS FOR THE 
 MARRIAGE RELATION. 
 
 It is generally considered that op- 
 posites in husband and wife will make 
 the most congenial companions, and so 
 [ far as Temperament is concerned it is 
 very true, as two blonde types or two of 
 ! the brunette type should never try to nor 
 1 allow themselves to unite in marriage, 
 for to see the same color of eyes and 
 shade of hair day after day in such close 
 association becomes very tiresome, and 
 is apt to give one or both a desire to wan- 
 der into more pleasant conditions for a 
 short vacation that may terminate into a 
 longer one, and then too, children from 
 such a union could not be so healthy phy- 
 sically, nor so well balanced in intellect. 
 The color of each type of such a union 
 would be so accentuated, in the children, 
 that the brunettes could very easily be 
 taken as of negro descent, and the blonde 
 type unless of the Motive- Vital tempera- 
 mnt would have no warmth of color in 
 the face at all, and the hair would be like 
 tow — no color at all. 
 
 No two of the same height, nor of 
 the same weight, nor of the same combi- 
 nation of Temperaments should consider 
 matrimony with each other. 
 
 The Mental-Motive- Vital type of 
 man and the Vital-Mental type of woman 
 would make an excellent combination of 
 
 115 
 
elements for happiness if the former were 
 a brunette and the latter a blonde. 
 
 The first combination would proba- 
 bly have the faculty of 3, 5, 16, 39, 40, 34, 
 24, 13, 12, 10, 21, for the masculine side 
 and Nos. 40, 35, 36, 24, 13, 7, 19, 20, 21, 
 23, A 32, 16, 28, 37, most predominant in 
 development for the feminine side, or 
 Vital-Mental type. 
 
 Comparisons without end could be 
 enumerated that would insure perfect 
 contentment and happiness in matri- 
 mony, or of harmony and profit in busi- 
 ness relations. 
 
 Why then, after all of our illustra- 
 tions and reasonable proofs of our con- 
 tentions that any and everybody can 
 easily "see" all that lies beneath the 
 cranium of human beings, why should 
 not every intelligent person want to gain 
 that knowledge for their own protection, 
 and for the proper rearing and moulding 
 of their children, and the progressive de- 
 velopment of themselves? 
 
 LOVE IS OF MANY KINDS 
 DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT. 
 
 It is conspicuous in different degrees 
 in proportion to modifications by other 
 faculties, for example: — Parental Love 
 though large in itself and apt to be too 
 indulgent in the government of children, 
 is greatly modified by the faculty of 
 Firmness if it be large, also. 
 
 116 
 
SEXUAL LOVE (Amativeness)— 
 i We mention this first because it is the 
 dominating 1 factor that continues the Life 
 Principle through all the kingdoms — 
 Vegetable, Animal and Human, but as 
 only the Human Kingdom comes within 
 our province we will confine our talk to 
 that alone. 
 
 The function of this faculty is exclu- 
 sively to reproduce the species, not ne- 
 cessarily having any connection with the 
 institution of marriage but is the primary 
 cause of physical attraction between the 
 sexes at the pubescent age. When this 
 faculty is very large and unmodified by 
 Conscientiousness, its facial indicators 
 are as follows: — Large, thick, protruding 
 lips specially heavy in the center; eye- 
 balls that seem to bulge outward; eye- 
 lids that are narrow — close together as 
 though they were hiding the licentious 
 thoughts that lurk behind them; a chin 
 that is heavy and thick underneath. 
 
 Indicators and abuses by married or 
 single men: — Persistent staring at the 
 opposite sex to gain attention; profuse 
 courtesy toward the object of the fascina- 
 tion; excessive indulgence of amuse- 
 ments, sweetmeats, or anything to please 
 the unwary and unprotected; undue lib- 
 erties upon short acquaintance; hasty en- 
 gagements in matrimony to legalize sen- 
 sualism; promise of marriage to accom- 
 plish illicit acts with the too credulous. 
 
 117 
 

 Responsive Indicators by the gentler 
 sex: — At first innocent glances and won- 
 derment at such unexpected attentions; 
 then mixtures of desire and fear for con- 
 tinued admiration; then perhaps permit- 
 ting seemingly innocent but really im- 
 proper liberties; then either an awaken- 
 ing to the gross motives and sudden end- 
 ing of the flirtation, or continued liber- 
 ties and secret meetings ending in re- 
 grets, disgrace and scandal. 
 
 MOTHERS! MOTHERS!! MOTHERS!!! 
 
 Wake up ! ! 
 
 Don't Be Asleep!) 
 
 Don't be totally blind to all the vile 
 intrigues that lurk in the heart of this 
 type of a man. 
 
 "See for yourself." Get the infor- 
 mation that "Foresight" puts into your 
 storage battery of knowledge, showing 
 you how to remould the mind faculties 
 that are too deficient and others that are 
 too dominant, both of which are the result 
 of unf amiliarity with the pre-natal laws 
 of Nature. 
 
 "Foresight" tells you that a person 
 with very large Amativeness and small 
 Conscientiousness is an undesirable com- 
 bination, because such a man would stoop 
 to the very lowest depths of immorality. 
 
 Would you be wiling to have your 
 daughters from 17 to 22 years, just bud- 
 ding into womanhood — the sweetest and 
 
 118 
 
most beautiful flowers of all Nature-- 
 | accept the attentions of such a man ? They 
 are found in the very best social gather- 
 ings, and have the most exquisitely fur- 
 nished autos that money will buy — ele- 
 gant places for pleasure — and how many 
 young girls who are unfamiliar with the 
 teachings of "Modern Foresight' ' are 
 there that would ignore the wiles of such 
 temptations in society? To learn these 
 pitfalls by experience — ' ' hindsight ' ' — is 
 just what keeps the ball of immorality 
 rolling along — crushing out the innocence 
 and virtue of thousands of the daughters 
 of our land. 
 
 But bear in mind that these kind of 
 men are not wholly to blame for their vi- 
 cious thoughts, when mothers deliberate- 
 ly flaunt before their eyes their daugh- 
 ters decorated in the most abbreviated 
 and transparent wearing apparel that the 
 demi-monde fashions will suggest. 
 
 Who, then, is to blame, the mothers 
 or the men? 
 
 To what all this world is coming 
 Is a problem most hard to solve, 
 
 Frightened at its wickedness and sin, 
 That around our heads revolve. 
 
 The man is always to blame, however, 
 for the downfall of innocent maidenhood, 
 as the girl never takes the initiative in 
 such conduct, and there is no argument 
 to the contrary. 
 
 119 
 
Modesty, virtue and honesty hold her 
 back to the last point of resistance ar 
 gainst immorality; and if there is an oc- 
 casional exception to this rule, even then 
 it is the utter baseness of the man that is 
 at fault, for his magnetic nature hypno- 
 tizes the object of his thoughts, depriving 
 her of the power of resistance to the evil 
 that is waiting to engulf her. 
 
 The type of man who would have an 
 impure thought against virtue is 
 dominated exclusively by Amativeness, 
 and never deserves one iota of decent 
 consideration in social life, but he is the 
 identical one who fascinates wherever he 
 goes among the "uneducated" in human 
 nature. 
 
 Conjugal love never has one disre- 
 spectful thought in connection with the 
 sweet innocence of girlhood or woman- 
 hood, is more reserved in social ambi- 
 tions, never flirts, never tells lies if it can 
 be avoided. Amative love never tells the 
 truth if it can be avoided when the sub- 
 ject is of a social nature., or at, least, 
 truth is such a stranger to that faculty of 
 the mind that a friend never knows if as- 
 sertions productive of it are true or false. 
 Amative love will go back on its best 
 friend; Conjugal love is constant and de- 
 voted. 
 
 Herein is the vast difference between 
 the two faculties, Conjugality and Ama- 
 tiveness, and nothing is more essential to 
 
 120 
 
thoroughly understand for the sake of 
 self -protection in home and social life. 
 
 In business the person with large 
 Amativeness has so much more magne- 
 tism, persuasiveness and other assimilat- 
 ing faculties than does a person with the 
 faculty of Conjugality dominating that 
 he often meets with greater success in 
 most any business, and especially where 
 big enterprises are the object of his am- 
 bition. A Conjugal personality is more 
 conservative in associations, therefore 
 does not attract speculative thinkers who 
 are on the lookout for men of ability to 
 carry to a successful issue their intrigues. 
 
 The Conjugal man, therefore, is 
 more adapted to the ordinary things of 
 life; a home with the sweet companion- 
 ship of wife, daughters and sons is his 
 greatest ambition, and he leaves no stone 
 unturned to accomplish the highest pin- 
 nacle of that beautiful world of sacred af- 
 fection. He will engage in some business 
 that will provide for such a home, and if 
 he has large Acquisitiveness, Construc- 
 tiveness, Casualty, Suavity, Continuity, 
 Firmness, in addition to his Conjugal and 
 moral qualities, he will accomplish great 
 things in business life in an honorable 
 way. 
 
 The surface indicators of these two 
 faculties are as follows: Amativeness — 
 Large neck and base of the back-head, be- 
 low the opening of the ear; thick lips, 
 
 121 
 
much more developed in their center than 
 outwards from their center; mouth line 
 of closure irregular, as in Figs. 22 and 
 17. 
 
 Conjugality — Neck normal in size, 
 up to 16 inches or less, proportionately to 
 the balance of the figure; base of back- 
 head not bulging but the head at num- 
 bers 24, 18, 23, 12 is well developed and 
 rounds out the entire contour of the back- 
 head, from the opening of the ear up- 
 wards, as in Figs. 2 and 16. 
 
 CONJUGAL LOVE (Conjugality)— 
 The function of this faculty is for mat- 
 ing, and union in wedlock for life in the 
 highest and purest relationship known to 
 mankind. Amativeness does not enter 
 into this association as it is of a different 
 nature, on a much lower scale, and of 
 much lower rate of vibration. Many 
 birds and animals select their sexual 
 mate for life, as the lion and the eagle 
 and their affection is just as strong be- 
 tween the procreating seasons as it is at 
 that time, proving that the faculty of 
 Conjugality is the real bond of union. 
 
 And as another proof that the facul- 
 ty of Conjugality is in great contrast to 
 that of Amativeness, the former comes 
 into the thoughts at the age of 5 years 
 and mates are often chosen at that age 
 which continues in perfect harmony so 
 long as life lasts, while it is impossible 
 
 122 
 
for Amativeness to function before the 
 age of puberty — 12 or 14 years. 
 
 The facial indicators of Conjugality 
 are : — Lips that have an even contour and 
 of medium thickness; eyes that are open 
 and round and honest; chin that has 
 graceful curves and is medium in width, 
 and prominent. 
 
 Behavior indicators — Modesty in at- 
 tracting attention ; formal introduction 
 preferable to promiscuous flirtations ; 
 refined and genteel manners ; careful con- 
 sideration of one 's happiness and welfare : 
 cleanliness in personal appearance; free 
 from all selfishness; (Spirituality and 
 Conscientiousness are close companions of 
 Conjugality) ; modest in desire to please ; 
 conservative in praise and flattery, but 
 true as steel and pure at heart. 
 
 "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT' '— with the 
 uneducated in Cranioscopy, is an im- 
 possibility, without uncontrolled ac- 
 tivity of the faculty of Amativeness 
 alone being the primary cause, or, in 
 other words, it is the selfish amatory 
 propensity in both that is asserting 
 itself and will soon end in repug- 
 nance after a union in wedlock, and 
 sometimes before, if they allow crim- 
 inal indiscretion in their seeming in- 
 fatuation. 
 
 "LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"— with the 
 educated in Cranioscopy, is a perma- 
 nent possibility because of the accur- 
 ate knowledge each one possesses 
 
 123 
 
concerning the characteristics of the 
 other one, and such an alliance in 
 matrimony would be of the most 
 sacred, inspiring, harmonious condi- 
 tion for happiness that could be con- 
 ceived of. 
 
 HOME LOVE (Inhabitiveness)— One 
 
 never forgets the old ties of home, sweet 
 home, the dear mother and father and 
 brothers and sisters, and the puppies and 
 the kittens and all the young friends and 
 all the nooks and the crannies, the trees 
 and the flowers and all the out-of-doors — 
 it all remains vivid in one 's memory. 
 
 There is scarcely a being on earth 
 that does not manifest continually strong 
 attachment for home. Birds have their 
 summer and winter homes, migrating 
 back and forth to the exact locality, nev- 
 er changing the place for their nests and 
 the rearing of their young. The cat is a 
 great lover of home, remaining in one 
 place regardless of how many tenants 
 have occupied the house, if they are left 
 to their own inclinations, while the dog 
 prefers the family to the home, and sees 
 to it that he is never left behind when the 
 family departs, Patriotism, love of one's 
 country, comes from Inhabitiveness, and 
 it has been the direct cause of many 
 bloody wars in defense of the land in 
 which they were born. 
 
 PATERNAL LOVEr— is the male idea 
 of affection for his offspring; while it may 
 be equally as strong and solicitous for the 
 
 124 
 
health and best welfare of their future, 
 it is more stern, severe, unapproachable 
 and uncompromising in their government 
 than the female idea is, but no doubt pro- 
 duces a better condition for battling with 
 the outside world in general. 
 
 MATERNAL LOVE— is the mother 
 idea of parental affection for her child- 
 ren; it is the kind of love that brings 
 tears to the eyes and fills the heart to 
 overflowing as we think of her sweetest 
 kindness and sympathy for all of our 
 troubles, sacrificing everything for our 
 comfort and happiness — in the long, long 
 ago. Nothing can be truer nor more 
 steadfast nor more angelic, than a 
 mother's love — the love that we never 
 forget. 
 
 There are women, however, who are 
 so devoid of Maternal Love and Spiritu- 
 ality as to permit the destruction of their 
 own child in cold blood, before they are 
 born. What becomes of the two souls — 
 the mother and the child — in the next 
 life, is far beyond the threshold of our 
 understanding. The memories of such a 
 child in relation to its mother, must be 
 too horrible to contemplate, and we often 
 wonder if such a mother recognizes the 
 magnitude of her sin? 
 
 We wonder, too, if this little mite of 
 innocent, unborn childhood will ever meet 
 its parents in the great beyond — its two 
 parents who are the direct cause of its 
 creation and who have committed the 
 greatest crime in God's domaiil — can they 
 
 125 
 
ever in all eternity, work themselves out 
 of the fathomless abyss of Purgatory into 
 which their spirit selves may be precipi- 
 tated? 
 
 Think of this, all who contemplate 
 the destruction of unborn life during 
 their early existence. 
 
 FILIAL LOVE— is the affection of 
 children for their parents, and varies ac- 
 cording to the development of Friend- 
 ship, Gratitude, Combativeness, Conscien- 
 tiousness, Benevolence and Inhabitive- 
 ness. 
 
 Friendship, Gratitude and Inhabi- 
 tiveness fill out and enlarge the upper 
 and middle back-head. 
 
 Conscientiousness and Benevolence 
 make the top-head round and full. 
 
 But remember that the degree of de- 
 velopment of these faculties depends very 
 largely upon the physical demonstration 
 of love feelings by the parents towards 
 the child. If the parents display no more 
 affection and tender, sympathetic love for 
 their offspring than those do outside of 
 the immediate home environment, then 
 the child sees no difference between par- 
 ents and ordinary friends, in that respect, 
 but they do see that the home experi- 
 ences are more severe, their personal plea- 
 sures more limited, their liberties more 
 restricted than they are at the homes of 
 friends, which fact can not help being de- 
 trimental to the development of these par- 
 ticular mind faculties that stand for child 
 
 126 
 
love, therefore when children are disobed- 
 ient, disrespectful, deceitful, rude, imper- 
 tinent, ungrateful, unloving and unlov- 
 able, it is far more the fault of the par- 
 ents themselves, than it is the fault of the 
 children. 
 
 Out of all the families within our 
 scope of acquaintance nine tenths of the 
 young and older children are absolutely 
 starving for the want of Daddy's and 
 Mammy's sweet caresses, but never real- 
 ize nor understand that there exists such 
 pure and sacred devotion until they have 
 children of their own. 
 
 This neglect of the parents together 
 with the sympathetic attentions that 
 children find away from home, has a ten- 
 dency to cause too early marriages and a 
 desire to drift into pleasanter associa- 
 tions to the injury of the entire family 
 attachments. Is this the purpose of our 
 Supreme Father in the creation of His 
 finite subjects of human life? 
 
 FRIENDSHIP LOVE— can be equal- 
 ly so intense as any other kind but it 
 eliminates sex from all of its activities. 
 A person with the faculty of Friendship 
 very large makes friends everywhere and 
 has no enemies except those who are jeal- 
 ous and revengful because of the other's 
 popularity. True friendship, however, is 
 the rarest of qualities and so seldom is it 
 fully brought to the light of day that it is 
 equally so seldom recognized and appre- 
 ciated, though when such love is finally 
 
 127 
 
discovered and proven to the entire satis- 
 faction of those interested, the slightest 
 reflection against one of the friends 
 would not be tolerated for an instant. 
 True friendship is ever ready to recog- 
 nize the needs of one in helpless and dis- 
 tressing circumstances and will share its 
 last cent to relieve such conditions. 
 
 The value of such affection can not 
 be estimated for it is beyond words to ex- 
 press it. 
 
 GRATITUDE OR COMPENSATING 
 LOVE — is very rarely expressed and the 
 the faculty in most people is woefully de- 
 ficient. The first cause of this deficiency 
 begins soon after birth when the parent 
 neglects to teach the child to be thankful 
 at heart for all the simple things that are 
 daily done in its behalf. Under such 
 neglect the child soon thinks that all spec- 
 ial favors come to him as a natural con- 
 sequence thereby forcing upon the unde- 
 veloped mind entire ignorance of any 
 such feeling as thankfulness to others, 
 and as they become older and more favors 
 are lavished upon them, if they are still 
 untaught that all such gifts are sacrifices 
 that the giver has made and denied self 
 the pleasure of, the faculty of Gratitude 
 never becomes even normal, but instead is 
 very deficient in development and in later 
 years knows nothing of kindness— ronly 
 the most selfish kind of selfishness, put- 
 ting a blot upon the human race and re- 
 tarding its growth to a highei* and better 
 plane of existence. 
 
 128 
 
RELIGIOUS LOVE, VENERATION, 
 PIETY (PERMANENT AND SPAS- 
 MODIC)— This faculty of the mind, like 
 all the others, more often than not is im- 
 proved upon and developed according to 
 the influence and environment in the 
 home and in the degree — very large, 
 large or small — according to the persis- 
 tency of the parents and their mode of 
 education. 
 
 Permanent Piety is the only kind 
 that is of any value whatsoever. It is in- 
 dicated by a decided bump at No. 8 on top 
 of the head, and makes a soft, soothing, 
 amiable and beautifully sweet expression 
 all over the countenance, at all times, in 
 all places and under all conditions. It 
 is the expression of perfection within the 
 soul, within the thoughts, within the self 
 so far as the finite degree of life is com- 
 prehended. It has reverence for all 
 things, in nature; it blends in harmony 
 with all humanity as a part and parcel of 
 itself, recognizing no particular place or 
 form of worship, but worshiping Truth 
 for the sake of right and advancement 
 i of the human race. 
 
 It prays not for self nor personal 
 favors; it thinks not of self but of all 
 mankind as the manifestation of Infinite 
 Power and Intelligence. 
 
 Spasmodic Piety is the result of some 
 personal desire of bettering one's chances 
 for redemption after knowingly commit- 
 ting wrong against another of our bro- 
 thers and sisters, the great human family. 
 
 129 
 
Spasmodic Piety is only in evidence, 
 when beneath the roof of some great edi- 
 fice erected by man, or, within the small 
 room for peaceful slumber, and it mani- 
 fests through the faculties of Secretive- 
 ness, Acquisitiveness, Amativeness, Com- 
 bativeness, Approbativeness in large de- 
 gree, and Veneration, Conscientiousness, 
 Gratitude, Benevolence in very small de- 
 gree. 
 
 When a person never has any desire 
 to make others happy and never has one 
 single regret at causing them unhappi- 
 ness, and never feels grateful for kind- 
 nesses extended to them and never ex- 
 tends kindness in return, can never be 
 trusted for the truth and such a selfish 
 character has not one iota of Veneration 
 nor Piety in the heart; it is utterly de- 
 void of all that sweetness of character so 
 wonderful to look upon and to retain in 
 the memory as pleasant events. 
 
 One of that selfish nature has only 
 well-earned fear and superstition (not 
 even spasmodic piety) that causes them 
 to ever enter a house of worship in search 
 of redemption, for what might be judged 
 against them, 
 
 LOVE OF STUDY AND SEEKING 
 AFTER TRUTH— constitutes the highest 
 order of intelligence. The faculties of 
 Causality, Comparison and Spirituality 
 dominate the mind giving the desire to 
 investigate, and the faculty of Combative- 
 ncss overcomes all obstacles and gives 
 
 130 
 
the necessary force to prosecute thorough 
 investigation and delving into the remote 
 realms on the higher plane. 
 
 This love is not of the social organs 
 of the mind but is so different that no 
 comparison can be made, but study and 
 investigation should include everything 
 in nature, that one may become more en- 
 lightened upon the Laws that control and 
 govern all visible and invisible life. 
 
 "A CHIP ON THE SHOULDER." 
 
 What an enormous amount of mean- 
 ing we find in these five words — an ex- 
 pression as old as the hills, and as famil- 
 iar from the youngest who can barely 
 comprehend it to the oldest who can bare- 
 ly talk on account of age, and yet how 
 many have tried to subdue that feeling of 
 resentment in themselves? Have you, 
 who are reading this chapter? Recall all 
 of your relatives, friends and occasional 
 friends — how many of them who do not 
 perambulate around with "a chip on the 
 shoulder' ' ready instantly to resent any 
 act, look or word that is disparaging to 
 themselves, whether it be intentional or 
 unintentional ? 
 
 How many families in all of your ac- 
 quaintance can you mention that are am- 
 iable to each other, peaceful, loving and 
 lovable, contented and blissfully happy? 
 
 When families are not that way how 
 can we expect a better condition of things 
 
 131 
 
outside of the family, since all outsiders 
 are a certain portion of some family? 
 
 In every home where there are child- 
 ren of all ages and dispositions some are 
 naturally unbearable — take delight in 
 hurting a sister's or brother's feelings 
 without any provocation whatever, or at 
 least any reasonable reason for it — do it 
 simply because they enjoy seeing the 
 tears roll down out of an injured soul, of 
 whom they are more than likely jealous, 
 and of some petty thing they ought to be 
 ashamed of. 
 
 One sister will impose upon another, 
 if the latter be a younger one, because 
 the elder thinks she knows more on ac- 
 count of a few months' difference in ages, 
 or an elder brother will elect himself 
 "boss" of a younger one when his par- 
 ents are not present, and all these trivial 
 acts and inconsistencies in children to- 
 wards one another are in a great measure 
 the fault of the parents because of their 
 laxity or deficient faculties of Firmness, 
 Aggressiveness, Combativeness and Secre- 
 tiveness and too large faculties of Paren- 
 tal Love and Benevolence. 
 
 This leniency with children develops 
 in them Secretiveness andDestructiveness 
 to excess, making them impudent not a- 
 lone to one another but to the very father 
 or mother who are too indulgent with 
 them. The result is that if there happens 
 to be one child who has inherited a pre- 
 dominance of good qualities, feeling kind- 
 
 132 
 
ly toward all — cannot endure deceitful- 
 ness and impiety in principle — such an 
 one will be imposed upon by all the rest 
 and will leave home at an early age to be 
 freed from the unbearable conditions, 
 hoping against hope, to find harmony 
 somewhere in the outside world, and even 
 that is a disappointment for the outside 
 world is also made up of other families 
 similar to one's own and with no more 
 inclination to be decent with one another. 
 
 In large families or small ones too, 
 it is a rare exception to find perfect har- 
 mony, but when we do find it what a 
 beautiful sensation — a soft, peaceful, 
 angelic atmosphere pervades the whole 
 household and surrounds you the moment 
 you enter such a home, but when you vis- 
 it the other kind of a domicile the moment 
 you enter it the stifling atmosphere of dis- 
 cord slaps you in the face with all of its 
 thousand and one troubles that have been 
 allowed to accumulate through too much 
 laxity and perversion of judgment in the 
 government of their children ever since 
 they came into the world. 
 
 They have allowed each and every 
 one who w&s born with a "chip on the 
 shoulder' ' to continue so and enlarge 
 upon the faculty of Destructiveness and 
 Combativeness and Secretiveness until 
 they are disrespectful to everyone with 
 whom they come in contact, and who are 
 ever ready to slap a brother or sister in 
 the face with brute force, or, with a vie- 
 
 133 
 
ious tongue which hurts worse than the 
 physical force does. 
 
 When we take into consideration the 
 selfishness and ingratitude that parents 
 allow to dominate their own offspring in 
 relation to one another and to themselves, 
 is it any wonder that when the family 
 grows up and seeks outside companion- 
 ship that such children never manifest 
 any graciousness nor benevolence nor 
 altruistic principles towards others? 
 
 It does seem that almost the entire 
 human family are now, in this day, tra- 
 versing this earth with "a chip on the 
 shoulder" without a kind thought for 
 anyone. 
 
 All this can be avoided and 
 prevented if parents are so persistent 
 in using as much judgement in the crea- 
 tion of their own children as the animal 
 raiser is in procuring good stock to pre-

 PARENTS' RESPONSIBILITY IN DE- 
 VELOPING MIND FACULTIES. 
 
 The purpose of this little book is to 
 ingratiate into the minds of its readers, 
 the speediest solution for progression in 
 spiritual, social, educational and indus- 
 trial life. 
 
 In our opinion, after we have suffi- 
 ciently enlightened the present generation 
 upon the advantages to be gained from 
 an accurate understanding of the "know 
 
 134 
 
how" to read heads and faces "on sight' ' 
 the rest belongs to the parents of the 
 newly-born and the unborn generations 
 to come. 
 
 Of course the parents must first have 
 the location of each one of the forty-three 
 faculties accurately established in their 
 own mind, also the correct function of 
 each, before they can cultivate some facul- 
 ties that are too deficient, and reduce un- 
 desirable ones that are too much devel- 
 oped at the beginning. 
 
 The time to do this re-moulding of 
 faculties in children is at that stage of 
 their first recognition of the meaning of 
 expression on the face and of sweet baby 
 talk from the mother, in order to produce 
 speediest results, and there can be no 
 "breathing spells" or vacations until the 
 work is accomplished, else it would be 
 useless, utterly useless, to begin it at all. 
 
 If a child would soon demonstrate 
 selfishness and a disposition to be piggish 
 with playthings and good things to eat, 
 it would indicate large Destructiveness, 
 Combativeness, Acquisitiveness, and very 
 small Benevolence, Conscientiousness, 
 Spirituality and Friendship, and to re- 
 build these faculties desirable to the 
 parents, one would have to relate to the 
 child stories of a kind that would leave 
 thoughts upon the little mind, just before 
 the lullaby to sleep, that would produce 
 activity upon the faculties you wish to de- 
 velop, and reduce the flow of blood to the 
 undesirable organs, thereby giving growth 
 
 135 
 
in the one, and a corresponding depletion 
 in the other direction. 
 
 The blood always rushes in excessive 
 quantities to the parts most in action, 
 and when selfishness is the most active 
 the faculty of Benevolence has hardly 
 enough blood within its limits to sustain 
 the life of it, and the diligent application 
 of our method by the parents is the only 
 way to divert the flow of blood into the 
 deficient part of the mind, for rebuilding 
 and nourishment. 
 
 Every child in school ought to be 
 learning the lessons of how to "see for 
 themselves ' ' dishonesty in others, for self- 
 protection all through life. No other 
 study is so necessary for the defense of a 
 child's best interests as they grow into 
 maturity to battle with the rest of the 
 world. And every parent ought to de- 
 mand that such study should be taught in 
 public schools. If taught properly, they 
 would be exceedingly interested in the 
 work, and no one can deny the inestim- 
 able value of it. 
 
 PRE-NATAL INFLUENCE. 
 
 Let us now go back to the very be- 
 ginning — to the pre-natal condition where 
 all improvement in the human race should 
 first commence, and try to use at least as 
 much good judgment in the new creations 
 of our own flesh and blood, as the stock- 
 raiser does with his pigs, calves and colts. 
 
 "We are quoting from an article upon 
 this subject that came to our notice with- 
 
 136 
 
in the last year, in order to effectually im- 
 press upon the minds of young people, 
 how such wonderful things in nature can 
 be accomplished with a certainty of satis- 
 factory results. 
 
 "A young couple had entered upon 
 the marriage relation, who were both 
 singularly plain looking, and came from 
 very plain even coarse-looking families. 
 The woman in particular was of coarse 
 type, very high cheek bones, sunken eyes 
 and angular form. Her husband was of 
 small stature, receding forehead, muddy 
 complexion and hair of indescribable 
 color. 
 
 But in spite of all these perverse con- 
 ditions, they mutually determined to ex- 
 periment with nature, conscientiously 
 and religiously hoping for marked im- 
 provement above themselves. 
 
 They had married, not from passion, 
 not from ambition, but from a deep respect 
 for the real worth of the other. They 
 realized the sacredness of fatherhood and 
 motherhood, and so regulated their lives, 
 that if children were born they should so 
 nearly as possible come up to the stan- 
 dard of their ideals. 
 
 The mother, on finding herself in a 
 gestatory condition, began to think of the 
 foetus as a girl, and to dream of it as a 
 girl; and two pictures of her ideal of 
 sweet young girlhood were always where 
 her eyes could fall upon them when she 
 was resting. At her work she had books 
 of poems near, when she could read a 
 
 137 
 
little at a time and catch a beautiful 
 thought. 
 
 She would refuse to witness exciting 
 scenes or listen to that which was un- 
 pleasant about her neighbors. 
 
 All newspapers which contained re- 
 ports of the sins and crimes of the people 
 she ignored and placed in the hands of 
 her husband, to read her only the pleas- 
 ant and progressive thoughts. All new 
 achievements in art and literature were 
 related with delight. The husband was 
 intensely devoted to every wish that she 
 desired, and all was love and happiness 
 every hour of their lives, as they waited 
 in sweet expectation of the eventful day. 
 
 This couple were poor, but they wish- 
 ed to know for a certainty if good ante- 
 natal conditions could bring about desired 
 results. The mother did not wear out her 
 nerves fretting over the uncertainties of 
 travail, nor work upon an extravagant 
 wardrobe for the little one, that they 
 could not afford. Thus the months sped 
 away until the beautiful crown of mother- 
 hood rested upon that homely woman. 
 And such a crown!! The child was so 
 perfect in form and features as their 
 minds could conceive of, and when the 
 sunshine of intelligence began to beam 
 from those eyes, blue as the heavens, and 
 the mouth began to question, it was as 
 though a superior spirit guided it. 
 
 In the years following, as she grew 
 into a young lady, her sweetness of dis- 
 position, beauty of person and high intel- 
 
 138 
 
lectual attainments made her many- 
 friends, and she married one of the finest 
 men known in society , but their wedded 
 life was on a very different plane from 
 that of her own parents. 
 
 She now lived in the fashionable 
 world, with very little or no thought of 
 the little souls that would be ushered in- 
 to life, absolutely indifferent to and ig- 
 norant of the beautiful influence under 
 which she herself was created — ignoring 
 even the simplest rules of health in her 
 coming motherhood. 
 
 And what was the result but the 
 most depressing and heart rending con- 
 sequences that could be thought of ! ! ! 
 
 The first child — a girl — inherited the 
 coarse features of five generations back — 
 not an element of the mother 's delicate 
 beauty, and disposition. Deep set, black, 
 beady eyes, coarse, straight black hair 
 and angular form were strongly appar- 
 ent/* 
 
 What can one think when experi- 
 ences of this nature have actually taken 
 place? Isn't the study of human souls 
 and human heads and human faces worth 
 considering at all, not even so much as 
 the rearing of the brutes in the field? 
 
 Are we never, as the children of one 
 great Supreme Intelligence, going to ele- 
 vate ourselves to higher thoughts, worthy 
 of Him who created us ? 
 
 When we consider what the real ob- 
 ject of life must be, we wonder if all have 
 some mission to perform, and if what we 
 
 139 
 
do and what we neglect to do, are one 
 and the same thing in the vast scheme of 
 existence ? 
 
 MAN'S NEGLIGENCE CONCERNING 
 HIMSELF. 
 
 Mankind throughout the ages, in 
 spite of setbacks through world catastro- 
 phies, and his criminal ignorance and 
 neglect of his own best interests has pro- 
 gressed, showing nature's constant effort 
 through evolution to improve the species, 
 and it is staggering to contemplate what 
 man might be to-day, if he had studied 
 and developed himself as he has all re- 
 sources^ of nature, aiding with all his 
 energy in the improvement of the grains 
 and the fruits and even the beasts of the 
 field, 
 
 Is man so egotistic as to consider 
 himself above progression, or, does it 
 prove that he is only in his infancy and 
 can not comprehend the real purpose of 
 his creation? 
 
 If all, in reading this work, are hence- 
 forth inclined 
 To discard old ideas and better ones to 
 
 find; 
 If new ways for progression will occu- 
 py the mind 
 For the good of one's self and the rest 
 of mankind, 
 Our mission will succeed; we have 
 
 written not in vain 
 For progress of human life upon a 
 broader plane.
