A READER’S MEDLEY
Brains Versus Brawn In a Royal Society of Medicine debate it was said that mental defectives were nearly always undersized, but this need not establish any prejudice in favour of very tall or large-headed persons. They may be broad, they may be tall, their foreheads may be massive, and yet it may be clear to all their intellects are passive. They may be small and undersized upon the other hand, yet make us utterly surprised by what they understand. I'or if we think the size of hat denotes the brain within, i we might as well acknowledge that the Hippo ought to win. Yet little fellows full of beans lack nothing they need mourn; they very often find the means of beating .men of brawn. —D.G.
