tain to that position. They have a
comparison OF the men who have been
presidents OF our nation. consisting OF
the relative size OF their heads and
their respective weights. which goes TO
show that they have been tall men and
that they have had large heads. Phren-
ologlsts also state that because a man
has a large head II Is no reason to be-
lieye that he has an unusual amount OF
brain power. But they say that he has
the best opportunity for development,
and he can cram more learning into
his head than the man with the smaller
head. People with thin heads are us
ually ruled by the broad heads. The
protuberance Immediately above and
behind the ears denotes executive force
and ability. and a man with n narrow
head has little OF this power. The
