THE Literary Digest translates IRON
the Revue Scientifque a review OF new
book by NJ. G. l.. Duprat, containing Il
scientific study of lying. 1t starts out
with the admission that the lie extends
through all civilization, into all classes
through all ages and both sexes. 1t Is
defined as "a means of suggesting error
what one knows or believes to be
false" He shows that in some cases
living arises spontaneously without imi-
tation of vicious training, solely from the
play of the Imagination. He finds that
living increases as thesocial environment
becomes more complex. He concludes
that it is futile to eradicate the lie by
preaching moral precepts. The true
method, he holds, els to oppose to un-
favorable social and mental forces other
social forces by a proper education. An
important factor in this education Is
scientific. instruction, which arouses the
critical sense"
