Excerpt from The Chicago Medical Recorder, Vol. 35: January-December, 1913

If further illustration of this general tendency were desired, one need only recall the difference in mode of attack represented by the Lombroso school of criminologists on the one hand and the present~ day careful work of psychologists on the other. Defective ears, ill shaped heads and all asymmetries of form may indeed furnish in some instances considerable information regarding hereditary traits and the past functioning of the body, but it will be readily admitted by all recent investigators that one is often led far afield by implicit reliance on these alone, and again, on the mental side, the sweat~box methods may produce results which are only products of the immediate moment and surroundings. Whenever this is all supplemented or completed by a thorough-going mental and physical examination, more particu larly of the individual in controlled action, one gets a direct method of approach and a comparative estimate of a series of acts, which yield results altogether out of comparison with those depending entirely upon bumps and malformations. Then, again, one sees this advance in terms of a comparison of Dr. Warner's observational methods of examining children and the careful study of individuals by clinical methods. To be sure, the expert, in time, learns to trust his observa tions more and more in so far as these are checked and evaluated in terms of a vast range of experience, but observation alone can never disclose to one the signs and symptoms of imperfect bodily function ing, to say nothing of mental functioning. The one sure way of determining the bodily superiority or'inferiority and the actual mental status, is by subjecting the individual as a whole to controlled tests and measurements which call into exercise the individual's optimum physical and mental efforts.
