Says Highbrows No
Smarter Than Lows
Chicago.—Low brows are just as s/nart
as highbrows.
That is straight from Professor H,
It. Mayberry, of the psychological de
partment of the University of Chicago,
who today announced conclusions
reached after many years of study, dur
ing which he examined and measured
.‘{,000 heads to determine the relation
between skull formation and intelli
gence.
"The real index to intelligence from
head measurement is the distance from
tbe ear to Che top of the head,” Pro
fessor Mayberry said. "The greater
the distance from the ears to the peak
of the dome, the greater the intelli
gence of the persons.
“Nothing was'found to support the
theory that you can judge intelligence
by the height or width of the fare
head.”
