istance.
In other words, each person yields to the temptations that prey upon his
particular weaknesses, and what his weaknesses are will depend upon his
type. In the grip of these temptations he may commit anything from
discourtesy to crime--according to the strength of the temptation plus
his own leaning in that direction.
On the other hand, certain "immoralities" which appeal strongly to some
types have no attraction whatever for others and these latter get credit
for a virtuousness that has cost them nothing.
Praise and Punishment
On the other hand, each one of the five human types has certain points
of strength and from these gets its natural "moral" qualities. We spend
a great deal of energy giving praise and blame but when we realize--as
we are doing more and more--that the type of an individual is
responsible for most of his acts, we will give less of both to the
individual and more of both to the Creator.
Type vs. Training
The most that training can do is to brace up the weak spots in us; to
cultivate the strong ones; to teach us to avoid inimical environments;
and to constantly remind us of the penalties we pay whenever we digress.
Child Training
As this great science of Human Analysis becomes known the world will
understand for the first time "how the other half lives," and _why_ it
lives that way.
We will know why one child just naturally tells fibs while his twin
brother, under identical training, just naturally tells the truth. What
is more to the point we will know this in their childhood and be
prepared to give to each the kind of training which will weed out his
worst and bring out his best.
Short and Stocky
The extreme Muscular type (See Chart 5) is below medium height, though
one of any height may be largely muscular.
The extreme type, of which we are treating in this chapter, is shorter
and heavier than the average. But his heaviness is due to _muscle_
instead of fat. He has the appearance of standing firmly, solidly upon
the ground, of being stalwart and strong.
The Square-Shouldered Man
The Muscular's shoulders stand out more nearly at right angles than
those of any other type and are much broader in proportion to his
height. The Alimentive has sloping shoulders and the Thoracic inclines
to high shoulders. But the shoulders of the pure Muscular are
straighter and have a squareness where the Alimentive's have curves.
This accounts for the fact that most of
