PA. Atlanta, Ga.~Intelligence tests are based upon unestablished theories, but in the examination of human physi ognomy specialists finally will be able to ascertain the mental and moral characteristics of all human beings, Gov. L. G. Hardman of Georgia be- lleves. S80 convinced is he that a study of physiognomy, particularly of finger prints, will result In the definite de- termination of character and criminal tendencies that he has recommended legislation and the establishment of a special chair at the state university to study the subject, For several years he has carried on correspondence and read reports deal- ing with his theory, and in that time has written scientists of Great Britain, France, Italy, and German for their viewpoints, Now the governor believes his theo- ry has been proven correct. “I have had the finger prints of ten patients at the state insane asylum sent to an eve I ; pe NATIONAL Architect's drawing ~ 7 pe ta ba Ld vu va a 2m wl] pg ——r - WS wt = - tw : from all parts of the United States, replaced.

He had been In college two years when his father came to see me, “lI don't know what's the matter with George,” he sald. “He's a good worker and he is willing to work, but so far he has not gotten hold of any- thing. He doesn’t seem to know how to sell himself." And yet George was familiar with the town and with the conditions of living. He knew where there were jobs and yet he did not seem to have an idea of how to get one.

As an example of Inaccuracy In de- scribing character, the governor de- clared that citizens from a Georgia county gave positive and reliable testi- mony that a certain man could not have committed a series of criminal attacks in Atlanta. Yet four women positively identified him as thelr at- tacker, and It was necessary to allow the electric chair to take Its victim. The man had already been convicted. “An examination of his physical characteristics by one who knew how to interpret would prevent any doubt about his possession or lack of crim- inal tendencles,” Governor Hardman sald.
