NEW SYSTEM OF
SELECTING
OFFICIALS
(By Associate! Press)
LONDON, Dec. 28.—A proposal that
all candidates for parliament should
submit to examination by a phrenolo
gist and "have their bumps told,” is
one of the features of the annual re
port of the British Phrenological so
ciety. which has just completed its
annual meeting here.
“The state’s need of phrenology is
evident in nearly every department
of government administration," said
one of the speakers at the convention.
"Particularly in the election of mem-j
bers of parliament, it seems to us
that the best fitted candidate, accord
ing to the formation of his head and
the volume and quality of his brains,
is not always elected. A phrenologic
al examination of all candidates would
save an immense amount of unnecs
sary misunderstanding, blundering
and expense.
"The system which we propose was
tried on some candidates for the
Brighton town council recently with
satisfactory results. Phrenology
should be utilized in this way in every
town and city.
“We have heard a good deal lately
in political circles about ‘brain ef
ficiency,’ but it has all been talk, be
cause the authorities have no scien
tific formula by which they can cal
culate a candidate’s brain capacity or
his intellectual grip and ability, nor
will they ever have it until they call
.—■■■■— -j.— " —~~ ———————
ur phrenologist* to their assistance.
"Cabinet ministers ought to be all
selected according to the formation of
their heads, and not merely upon per
sonal Influence, credentials or repu
tation.
"Phrenology ought to be taught In
our schools—instead of German.” .

THE BRIDGE OF DREAMS.
Last night. In my sleep. T dreamed,
dear.
That I felt your baby hands.
Heard the sound of your little feet.
You met me in sweet dream land!
1 folded you close In my longing arms.
You laid your head on my breast,
I kissed each curl of your dear gold
en head,
You were mine, for my dream was
blest!
t
But, ah! then I woke and lost you.
With my dream, you were'gone awav!
To God I cried with bitter soul.
And I sobbed because u>vaa day!
