Professor Windsor Lectures to Large Audi
on Choice Of Professions and Trades.
Every seat in Huffman s hall was filled
last night, and number of people stood
up, to hear Professor Windsor, the phre-
nologist, lecture on Choice of Professions
and Trades. The audience was an intel
igent and representative one. There
were present leading lawyers, physicians,
business men, teachers, bankers and cap
italiSts, and the lecturer held their
closest attention throughout. Pro-
feSSor Windsor is certainly a master
Of his science; he tells why
things are so, why certain dimensions,
certain developments and certain temper
aments Indicate certain characters. They
do more than indicate. they show posi-
lively that the character stamped on the
face and head is there, and he can read
the bold print and tell the subject more
about himself than the subject knew be-
fore. He showed that energy, industry
and intellect in a man would not insure
success if not directed in the proper
channels. There was, he said, more
difficulty in getting men to de-
vote their attention and their
talents TO trades and professions
to which they were suited than there was
to get them to go energetically to work
A man should know his strong points and
his weak points, should learn what bust
ness he was fitted for and then go at it,
There were i'll the world many men who
made 4 great noise and were
claSSed as successful who did net
use what was in them If
one man WAS given two kegs of powder
and another four kegs, and both were
told TO go on the square and explode
them, and the man with the two kegs
went off and exploded the two kegs
with as loud a report as possible,
he had done his full duty,
but if the man with the four kegs went
off and exploded but two of the four
kegs, he had done but half his duty, he
had used but half what was given him.
This was true, he said, in daily life;
many men who were considered bril-
liant were doing but half what they
could do. He showed how wrong it was
for parents to insist on their sons becom-
ing lawyers or physicians when they
should be musicians or carpenters
He cited a number of instances
to show that men and women
who were dismal failures in certain
ter some other ayOcation and had been
successful. He showed in a mastery
manner what chronological characters
ties should be possessed by the lawyer,
merchant, physician, locomotive engin-
eer, carpenter, etc The lecturer was
frequently interrupted by applause.
AT the conclusion of his lecture the pro-
fessor said he would make two eXamina-
tons, and called for nominations Mayor
BrOiles was elected but did not appear.
j Y. Hogsett was then chosen and took
the stage, and the delneation of
his character agreed with the
opinions of the audience, if
the applause accorded as the
points Were made was any evidence.
General J N. Peers was the next sub
iect, and Professor Windsor made a ten
strike in his marvellous and graphic
description of what the general was. A
man of energy and perseverance, a man
who would be felt i'll any Community,
and to his great credit be
it said, man who would
not hoard money, but would use his capt.
tai to the best possible advantage. The
handsome buildings General Peers has
erected show that Professor Windsor is
correct. Had Fort Worth many more
Peers she would have many more fine
buildings, The lecture was Il complete
success. Tonight the subject will be
" Matrimony.
