1t is interesting t" find that :" thor
oughly scientific Il man aS Prof. Will
lam Preyer has adopted the fnurfod
classification Of tcmperamentS made
nearly 1000 years ago. namely. the
chOlcIic, SangCine, melancholy and
lymphatic The existence of on" or
the other Of these temprramentS may
be diSccrnPSl. he says in his work on
THE Infant Mind" very early in the
great majority of children-in the sec
Ond quarter Of the first year. beyond
n doubt.
Nearly every one who has written
about temprlHments has gotten up a
classification of his own. Galen had
nine. Haycock gave six. Graham Brown
seven. and others have got down as
low as two. Modern writers u.s.. the
word nervous for chuleric, and bilious
for melancholic temperament. With
these verbal mNlitcationS, the old
classification seems TO answer all prac-
teal purposes, and individuals can
build up combina tions as nctSlcl.
Hutchinson defines temperament as
tn" sum of tn" physical pt4.,lliarities
of Il man exclusive of his tendency to
disease. This is not very satisfactory,
though. p, rhapS, temperament is Il
thing little too vague To be satiSfac-
torily defined. In modern terms it
may be said to be the peculiar way in
which the individual reacts to the
stimuli OF his environment There is
II" doubt that one class of persons re-
acts quickly and easily. eNpen,ling en-
ergy profustly and often needlcsSly in
their life work; others react hopefully
and work buOyantly, yet with less
waste. We can thus distinguish the
nervous. the SanglIlne, the melancholic.
