was submitted that, with the touching
confidence Of the novice, the young
man had begun with the expression :

is still Il disputed question. Smith Ely
Jeliffe, an authority on the subject.
says: Weight of brain. however. has
no direct relationship with intelli-
gence, as idiots brains are known 10
have weighed just as much as those
