Article: Runge, Dr. O., Early Signs of the Becoming Character (by Dr. Otto Runge, unknown author). Three photographic illustrations are printed with the article. The captions read "Right: Benevolence and an affectionate nature, these most desirable qualities of a woman, is revealed by this little girl to such a high degree that both can possibly become sentimentality and helplessness in the worst case. Beings, like this one, need a strong hand to guide them through the perils of life, but they give in return the greatest happiness the world knows, a heart lavishing itself in devoted love," "Below: This little girl is a person of our time who stands firmly on her feet and is not baffled by people or events. She already sees things as they are, without childish playful imagination, and will not be dissuaded from plans once made. A tenacious will controls and restrains the temperament, but a wise upbringing will have to moderate these dispositions so that they are not strengthened by life into defiance and hardening" as well as "Here the optimistic cheerful person with all his signs is preformed, the good companion, the merry comrade, who can find a cheerful side to everything and takes nothing hard. Life will decide whether it remains with the hearty cheerfulness, or whether the fate forms the obvious superficiality from it".
