How to Keep Young.

1t is true that the neophobia OF the
old has its cause in mental attitude
rather than in physical decay 1t is
not that the mental power is less, but
it is natural for a man to rely on the
thinking he did in his twenties and to
refuse to reopen questions he set
tied half lifetime ago.
This atrophy Of thought can be
avoided If the danger is foreseen, and
man deliberately forms the habit of
breaking thought habits. 1t can be
escaped II man recognizes that he is
borne on stream of social change
and that instead of trusting to the
perspective in which things appeared
in his youth, he must look and look
again-From Social Psychology, by e.

It is my opinion that if the city of vi
