tails, and Developer OF tho New Scientific
Principle OF Vocational Tests.
YuFHE the public Is asked to accept a
M new scientific theory which is
claimed to have direct bearing,
potentially, upon the welfare OF every civ
iIized human being, II is entitled to an ex.
PLANTATION Of the principles involved and Of
the succession Of steps taken in developing
that theory into proved and practical
system.
You are now asked to accept these facts
which am prepared to demonstrates: That
every human brain from the earliest period
of It's existence holds an inherent, dominant
impulse or capacity which. II early recog.
nized and properly developed leaves no
doubt about the character OF that persons
true vocation in life; and that each brain,
together with its associated organs. nerves,
muscles and body processes. generates and
can transmit force whereby 1t can be In.
duced unconscously and unequivocally to
register the nature of that special individual
gift.
The value Of such a revelation Is obvious.
1t cannot be obtained with certainty by
in general use. which depend upon an an.
peal to the consciousness and intelligence
OF the subject, his family history and OBJ.
servations of his achievements. Ia early
life, when the whole matter is of supreme
Importance, data of this sort is manifestly
inconclusive. There is no consciousness of
the inherent dominant impulse, and the time
Is not yet ripe for 1t to manifest ITSELF even
unconsciously, In ordinary ways
The problem. as ! have just stated II, is
how to cause that gift. OF which the subject
Is all unconscious, to divulge to us It's own
secret. That problem has been solved We
have discovered how to neutraize the re.
sistance of the body to the external passage
OF Its own electrical energy, and thus TO
enable the subconscious mind to make q
material record of its most vital property.
! will now attempt to carry you over the
pain OF scientific research which It was
necessary to travel in order to achieve
these results

century. had settled the limits of matter
and energy. There seemed little left To do
