The pituitary personality in childhood produced by limitation of the
size of the gland, because its bony box is completely or partially
closed, presents typical hall-marks. He supplies the second and third
offenders in the juvenile courts, the delinquents and pathological
liars of childhood, the incorrigibles, the precocious hoboes, mental
and moral deficients and defectives, the prey of the sentimental
complexes of elderly virgins and helpful futility all around. Not
utilitarianism or futilitarianism is needed, but pituitarianism.
The feeding of pituitary gland in large enough quantities to these
unfortunates may do more than ten charity organizations, with the most
patrician board of directors complete.

THE THYROID PERSONALITIES

The accessibility of the thyroid gland in the neck, the ease of
surgical approach, the definite effects following its removal, and
then the miraculous marvels of the feeding of thyroid have rendered it
the centre of attack by the largest army of endocrine investigators.
As a result we know more about the thyroid in childhood, adolescence,
adult life and old age than about the other glands.

In childhood, the subthyroid or thyroid deficient, the cretinoid type,
the type resembling the cretin, is fairly common. The peasant's face,
with the broad nose and the tough skin, coarse straight hair, the
undergrowth, physical and mental, a persistent babyishness and a
retardation of self-control development, make up the picture. He needs
an excess of sleep, sleeps heavily, needs sleep during the day,
when awakened in the morning still feels tired, and rather dull and
restless, dresses slowly, has to be coaxed or forced to dress, gets to
school late nearly every morning, does badly at the school, reaction
time, learning time and remembering time being prolonged as compared
with the average, and is lazy at home lessons. He perspires little,
even after exertion, yet fatigues easily, is subject to frequent
colds, adenoids, tonsillitis, and acquires every disease of childhood
that happens along.

Adolescence, the comi
