Intelligent Face And Bright: Hidden in the germ cells of the parents are potentialities that they themselves do not show. Exceptionally intelligent parents can expect their children to be more intelligent than the average, but less intelligent than themselves. Exceptionally dull parents are likely to have children less intelligent than the average, but more intelligent than themselves.
Are physical and mental traits inherited?
To build your set of samples, go to the mother of the most charming child you can find, a child with an intelligent face and bright expressions, and offer to give the mother a picture of her baby without charge if she'll have her child model for you. Tell her frankly that you need the pictures for samples. She will be proud to cooperate.
Then proceed to shoot dozens of pictures of that child.
Shoot several sittings, spacing them far enough apart for you to see the final results of each sitting before you shoot another, and shoot ten times as many negatives as you would in an ordinary sitting.
The idea, you see, is to assemble a set of pictures of this one child which will bring agonies of envy to every other mother who sees this masterpiece set.
