FIG. 1. Jacob A. Riis, Journalist, Author and Philanthropist. A man of
unusual intellectual power, observation, reason, memory, logic, and
analysis, with high ideals, great love for humanity, especially the weak
and helpless; good powers of expression, sense of humor, courage, and
determination. Note large development of upper part of head; fairly well
developed brows; high dome over temples; height and width of forehead,
especially across center; full lips; well developed nose; strong chin; and
alert, poised, kindly expression.]

FIG. 2. Dr. Booker T. Washington. Very ambitious, practical,
energetic, self-reliant, persistent, determined, capable of rule. Note
high head; high, sloping forehead, prominent at the brows; large nose,
high in the bridge; and long, straight upper lip.]
[Illustration: FIG. 3. James H. Collins, Author. A splendid example of
intellectual type with good bone and muscle. Has excellent balance of
mechanical and commercial understanding, keen judgment of men, practical
sense, and fine determination, with sentiment, sympathy, friendliness, and
faith. Note high, medium-wide head, especially high in center above
temples and wide and full through center of forehead; prominence of brows;
width between eyes; full, cleanly modeled lips; strong nose and chin; and
keen, pleasant, friendly, spirited expression.]
[Illustration: FIG. 4. H.G. Wells, Novelist and Economist. A man of
physically frail type, with natural mechanical leanings. Inventive,
creative, industrious, humanitarian. Because of his mechanical ability, he
uses his creativeness for constructing novels dealing with mechanical
invention. Because of his humanitarian instincts, he writes of social and
economic world problems. Note large upper portion of head, especially from
center of forehead to sides of head; also prominence of brows; large nose,
and long head.]

FIG. 5. Mr. Henry Ford, Automobile Manufacturer and Philanthropist. Mr.
Ford is of the physically frail type, with a goodly admixture of the bony
and muscular element. His natural mechanical bent, therefore, took the
intellectual form of invention and organization. His sentiment,
responsiveness, sympathy, and idealism are shown by high, rather narrow
head, fine texture, height of head just above temples, and gentle, kindly,
genial expression.]
[Illustration: FIG. 6. Hugo de Vries, Botanist. An example of physically
frail type. Very careful, accurate, painstaking, and patient in mental
work. Also very thoughtful, mild in disposition, but determined and
persistent. Note large development of upper part of head; long, narrow
face; long nose; narrowness of head just above ears; slight squareness of
chin, and serious, thoughtful expression.]
