Student Support have reported to us that many of you are having trouble with the people living in your place of abode. If you do not understand why a person in your living quarters is behaving oddly or badly, observe carefully the make of the skull and face, for there you may find clues to the innate tendencies of the person by the science of Phrenology.
A person with irreputable sexual habits may have an overdevelopment in the area of the brain responsible for Amativenesss - the sexual and social impulses. A person of unsanitary living habits may be underdeveloped in the area of Order, responsible for the disposition to have everything in its place. To find out, you need simply to compare the shapes and contours of the person’s skull in relation to our diagram.
If you are unable to convince your house friend to allow you to feel the bumps and protrusions of his head and face, consider a silent creep into their sleeping quarters at night while they slumber, to gently fondle the crevices of the skull. If this method fails, you may be able to piece together an adequate map of the head from photographs gleaned of the popular “face-book”, so named for its comprehensive collection of the Phrenological data of the general population.
