DO BIGGER HEADS MEAN this country.
་
MORE BRAINS?
Do bigger heads mean more brains? Scientists are divided on the problem. The middle size in hats 30 years ago was six and seven-eighths," said Mr. Frank Baltersby, noted, hatmaker, “Now: the middle size is seven. » That indicates the average increase among the buyers of the more expensive class of hat.
*Irishmen have the biggest heads, I think, and Glasgow" men have the longest ones."
Professor Julian Huxley does not think that bigger heads mean more† brains.
"I know no evidence of any specific
brain development in general," he told me. "As for H. G. Wells's idea about men of the future with smaller bodies and bigger, brainter heads. I think they would only be produced by process of selection. "But I believe the stature of modern man is increas- ing altogether."..
