PALMER, - - GOODYEAR <t PALMER, Editor - Publishers TEMPERAMENT AMONG PENMEN. BY E. E. DAVIS. One of the most important subjects in the study of human character is that of temperament. This term has been defined as "a particular state of the constitution, depending upon the relative proportions of its American division of Motive, Vital and Mental is generally regarded as the most practical and scientific. These three temperaments are based, respectively, upon the mechanical or bony system; the nutritive system, and the nervous system. It will be readily seen that every human being must possess all the temperaments in some degree, and that each is determined by the predominance of the class of organs from which it takes its name. The Motive temperament is characterized, physically, by a figure rather tall and striking; broad shoulders; large bones; prominent joints; cheek bones rather high; chest moderate in size and fullness; long limbs, and strong, dense, hard muscles. The expression of the countenance is striking, grave, earnest, capacity for prolonged mental or bodily effort. As speakers they emphasize many words; are not given to frivolity; are observers rather than thinkers, and are good judges of forms, sizes, proportions, etc. They are self-reliant, ambitious, proud, and sometimes domineering and cruel. Are conscientious rather than benevolent; nave strong likes and dislikes, and are apt to cling to old prejudices with great tenacity. The dark element, wherever it is found, imparts strength and endurance, while the lighttype gives greater facility and versatility. In the Vital temperament the body is broad and thick; the chest and abdomen well developed; limbs small, but round, plump and tapering, with hands and feet relatively small. The neck is short and thick, and the head and face incline to We give above as a specimen of sensible rapid business writing by our former pupil E. F.

While attending the recent Penmen's Convention at Cedar Rapids, I found in that body some excellent material for the study of temperament, both individually and collectively. But before giving the results of my observations, it will perhaps be best to present a brief description of the temperaments for the benefit of those who may not be .familiar with the subject. There have been various classifications of the temperaments, but the last and determined, and sometimes serene and stern. There are two varieties of color, the dark and the light. In the former the complexion and eyes are dark, and the hair dark, strong and abundant. In the light type the complexion may be florid and the hair and eyes light. Persons of the Motive temperament always have strong, positive traits of character. They are never mere ciphers— filling up so much space but counting for nothing. They have great energy, per- sevesance, firmness, executive ability and roundness. The expression of the face is benevolent and good-natured. Persons of this temperament have active, versatile minds, and ardent, impulsive dispositions. They are elastic rather than firm; have more diligence than persistence, and are brilliant rather than deep. They look on the bright side of life, are ready talkers, cheerful companions, good livers, and having strong appetites and passions are liable to be led astray. ^aSwP In the Mental temperament the body is relatively small and the head relative-
