![[41] Imitation is upon the two sides of Benevolence, directly forward of Spiritualit}'. The best rule for finding it is this : Standing in front of the subject, place )-our hands so that the first fingers of each hand shall be separated about three quarters of an inch, and the end of 3'our longest finger shall reach a line drawn through \^eneration and Spirituality—that is, through the middle of the head from side to side—and the balls of 3'our fingers will be on Imitation. It w^ill be found larger in children than adults ; so that the ridge usually found in their heads at this piint may be taken as the location of this organ. It riuis from Benevolence dowuA'ard toward Constructiveness. The upper part, toward Benevolence, mimics ; the lower part, toward Constructiveness, makes after a pattern, copies, etc. We are now brought to the intellectual lobe. Take the root of the nose as your starting-point ; the first organ met in passing upward is Indtvid'/ALTTV. It is between the eyebrows, and when large causes them to arch I)0^\N^\AKI) at their inner termination, and that part of the head to project forward. E\'ENT[jALTTY is three quarters of an inch upward, and slightl)' below the centre of the forehead, which in children is usuall_v large, and in adults frequentl}' small. From this centre of the forehead, COMPARISON extends upward to where the head begins to slope backward to form the top of the head ; at which ])oint, or between Benevolence and Comparison, Hi'MAN Xati'RE is located, which is usually large in the American head, as is also Comparison. AGREEABLENESS is located about an inch on each side of the organ of Human Nature, and is usuall} small, so that we can ascertain its location by observing its deficiency. When both of these organs are large, the forehead will be wide and full as it rounds backward t.) foini the top-head, ov where the iiair makes its appearance.
