The Nordic Dolichocephalic.--After reading attentively and in trembling
the works of Dr. Madison Grant, Dr. Gertrude Atherton, Dr. Lothrop
Stoddard and all the other eloquent proponents of the thesis that the
dolichocephalic or long-headed Nordic blond is the only truly human
variety of Homo sapiens and that the brachycephalic or broad-headed
Mediterranean, with his vague smears of Ethiopian blood, is a menace to
the Constitution, Protestant Christianity and the American
germ-plasm--after putting in two months with such terrifying literature, I
happened to take down the volume of the American Anthropologist for 1898
and found therein, on page 347, the following startling words by Prof.
Ales Hrdlicka, M.D., Sc.D., curator of physical anthropology in the
National Museum at Washington, secretary of the committee on anthropology
of the National Research Council, and member of a dozen learned societies
at home and abroad:

"A pure American colored child almost always shows a pronounced
dolichocephaly, while the normal white American child will show every
variation from a markedly long head to a pronounced brachycephaly."

"The anthropology of Prof. Madison Grant, a savant whose study of crania
has always seemed to me to have some flavor of osteopathy, or even
chiropractic, in it."
