INFANCY-HELPLESSNESS.

2. PHILOPROGENITIVENESS.

31

DEFINITION-Love of children, animals, pets, and horses.

LOCATION-Philoprogenitiveness is the second social organ, and is situated directly above Amativeness, in the back part of the head, and is number two in the Symbolical Head.

1. CHILDREN, when given to their parents, are very small babies. If there were no love for them, they would be neglected, and would suffer for want of proper care and attention. They are very helpless, and could easily be injured or killed, and require a great deal of time, care, and anxiety, to keep them alive and in health.

2. But the mother, if she has this organ largely developed in her head, loves her little child, and would not part with it, though she were required to devote all her time and attention to its care. She watches its

growth, physically and intellectually, with intense interest, and notices every little motion of its body, or emotion of its mind.

3. Think, children, how much your mothers and fathers are doing for you every day. The only anxiety or question that presents itself to their minds, is, what can I do for these little ones, that they be fed, clothed, and educated. They often sacrifice their own pleasures and enjoyments for the sake of their children.

4. Hence, for this reason, if for no other, you should requite the care and attention of your parents with love, obedience, and gratitude, and do all in your power to add to their comfort and happiness.

5. The mother, generally, has this organ larger than the father. This is a wise provision of nature, because she has more care of her little ones when they are not able to do anything for themselves.

6. There are some mothers-although I rejoice to say that the number is small-who feel it to be a burden to take care of and educate their children; but it is only those who have not this organ large in their heads.

7. Children show this organ in a great degree. The little girl loves and dotes on her doll-baby, enters into all its feelings as she imagines-sympathizes with it, dresses it, places it in bed, and takes the same care of it that mothers do of their real babies. I have known

PETS-ANIMALS

CHILDREN..

little girls who had large families of dolls, and who gave each a different name. Sometimes, when they have no doll, they caress the little dog or kitten.

8. Boys show the action of this organ by their fondness for a horse; their desire to manage and to drive one; or they desire to play with rabbits, dogs, or something of the kind, to gratify their strong love of the young and tender. If a boy has this organ large, he is generally kind to his horse and other animals. Some little boys cry piteously when an animal which they have petted, and on which they have bestowed their affection, has died, or is lost.

9. A man in Schenectady, who was extravagantly fond of pets and children, had a very large bunch where this organ is situated; he very frequently went about the city with two little dogs in his overcoat pockets, and one in each hand; and was always surrounded by children.

10. Generally, you can very readily tell who has a love for little ones, by their conduct; and if you have a Sabbath-school teacher or day-school teacher who particularly loves you, he or she most certainly has a prominence in the back part of his or her head.

11. This organ is represented in the cut by a mother and father who are fondling and caressing their children; also by a cat who is playing with her kitten in

one corner.

7. Whom do they caress if they have no dolls? 8. In what way do boys show this organ ? With what feelings do boys regard animals when they have this organ large? What effect does the loss of a petted animal have on them? 9. In what way did the man in Schenectady show this organ? 10. What can we generally tell by the conduct? What have all those teachers who love their pupils? 11. In what way is this organ represented in the cut?

12. In my chapter on instinct, I told you that animals seemed almost to possess the intelligence of human beings—a something generally called instinct. When we say that instinct prompts all their actions, we cannot tell whence this instinct arises.

13. Man possesses a brain which prompts all his actions; and as all animals have some brain, therefore it is reasonable to say that their actions are the result of it. By careful observation it has been proved that as far as the brain of animals is developed, they exhibit the same traits and peculiarities that we do; and it has also been proved that the different portions of the brains of animals produce different actions.

14. The monkey is particularly attached to her young; and she has a marked prominence in her skull, immediately above Amativeness; and so of all other animals that have a particular care for their young..

15. Do not forget the name of this organ, although it is a long one, but always remember that Philoprogenitiveness gives love for young.

12. What do all animals seem to possess? Why are not we satisfied in saying that instinct prompts the actions of animals? 13. What does the brain of man do? Have animals a brain? What do we then infer? What has observation found to be true? What is true of different portions of the brain of animals? 14. What is said of the monkey in relation to this organ? 15. What must children not forget? What does Philoprogenitiveness mean?

DEFINITION-Fondness for friends; attachment; desire to live in society, and to be surrounded with friends.

LOCATION-Adhesiveness is situated on both sides the back head, just above and outward of Philoprogenitiveness.

1. You see by the cut that two friends are represented with their arms around each other, as if engaged in social conversation. This is what Adhesiveness means; or in other words, when we see persons very fond of having warm-hearted friends to associate with them, and very desirous of companions, we shall find this organ large in their heads.

2. I have often seen little girls, who choose some particular ones among their schoolmates, confide to them their little joys and sorrows, and walk to and from school together. I have seen boys, also, walk in the street with their arms twined around each other's necks, and always in each other's society. They say they love each other very much, and I am sure that
