''Bighead."

The "bighead" is a popular
way of expressing a common and
very frequent aiIment. 1t arises
from various sources, but the
real foundation is a lack of sense
A little money developes it in
some people; q few good clothes
gives it to others; . little Office,
where . chance is given to ex-
ercise q little authority, is often
the cause of it while others get it
from having . little better job
than their associates. The truth
is. no sensible person gets the
s.bighead." The ones who be-
come stuck up and stiffnecked
from sources of any kind are
weak in intellectual calIber.-
