h is fine and beautiful. The coarse-textured individual is strong,
vigorous, virile, and enduring. He can do hard, unpleasant work, can go
through hardships, and can remain cheerful even in the midst of grimy,
unpleasant and unlovely surroundings. For these reasons, fine-textured
people do their best work in such lines as art, literature, music,
jewelry, dry goods, millinery, and fine, delicate tools, machinery and
materials; while we must rely upon coarse-textured people to do the heavy,
hard, rough, pioneering and constructive work of the world. Even in art
and literature coarse-textured people produce that which is either
vigorous and virile or gruesome and horrible.

Because of their refined sensibilities, fine-textured people usually
sympathize with the classes, the aristocracy; the coarse-textured people
with the masses. It is a remarkable fact that practically all of our great
liberators, radicals and revolutionists have been and are men of coarse
texture. There is a great scientific truth underlying the saying amongst
the people that certain ideas or books are "too fine-haired" for them.

PROPORTION

One of the most important of all the nine fundamental variables is
proportion. This refers to proportion of one part of the body to another,
of one part of the head to another. Each part of the body and of the head
has its own particular function. Nature is orderly and systematic in all
her work. She does not, therefore, try to digest food with the feet or
pump blood with the hands. She does not try to use our stomachs as means
of locomotion. Neither does she try to make us think with the backs of our
heads.

No one needs to be told that the long, slender, wiry legs of the deer were
made for swiftness, or that the huge, square, powerful jaw of the bulldog
was made to shut down with a vise-like grip that death itself can scarcely
relax. These are crude examples of proportion. In our study and research
we have learned to associate many fine gradations of differences in
proportion with their corresponding differences in mental aptitudes and
character.

EXPRESSION

Everything about a man indicates his character. Color, form, size,
structure, texture, consistency, and proportion indicate almost entirely
the man's inherent qualities. It is important for us to determine,
however, in sizing up men, what they have done with their natural
qualifications. This we do by observing Expression and Condition.
