As you study his writing you can recognize the strong emotional respon­siveness of the man, and know for sure that you could not be around him for a few days or months without knowing immediately how he felt when he came in touch with any emotional situation that affected or interested him. Mr. Behrensmeyer could not have had the emotional detachment shown in the writing of Lowell Thomas, or Keeler, or Ellis Parker Butler. He simply had to show how he felt because he was built that way. He felt, and he had to show it in the way he walked, the way he talked, by the look in his eye, and in everything he did.

There is still another answer to this question. If an expert’s hand­writing revealed how he felt just as if he had not been an expert, can a professional penman learn to analyze handwriting, and with what result?

“The modern trend in education is toward the development of the individual child. The usual courses in a teacher’s training are necessary for successful teaching, yet they are often so theoretical and general as to be of little use when the teacher is confronted with a room full of children; each child a concrete example of the ideology presented as theory during the training period.

“Although teachers are urged to study the child as an individual, yet they have no way of doing this, except by months of contact and observa­tion.   The results are haphazard and too often in error.

“Graphology gives the teacher a scientific and accurate means to analyze and understand the character traits, thought processes, complexes, responses and talents of each child. Negative qualities can be uncovered and turned toward improvement. Positive qualities and talents can be pointed out and encouraged. Thus, these children are often saved years of unhappiness and maladjustment because the teacher has been able to help them understand themselves.

“My knowledge of Graphology In Indore has been a priceless help to me as a teacher. I have also used it consistently to give me more self-knowledge. This latter has resulted in better health, greater poise and peace of mind, and more ability to help others. I sincerely feel that graphology should be a part of every teacher’s education.”
