Gambling is a good example Of all
times. Then luck turns, and he wins a

Does he remember this and stop gam

remembers 1t. The thoughts Of his losses
are unpleasant, therefore, II Is natural
, for him to forget the unnatural things.
Hence he continues to gamble, solely
because the pleasant thought Of one

Charles Darwin knew Of this trait in

| thought, or observation that was at
variance with his own ideas and deduc-
| tions he wrote 1t down in a notebook
He knew that these thoughts were un-
| pleasant to him. No one likes to be
| disputed or found wrong, and so he
knew he would forget those unpleasant
| thoughts. Being a careful scientist and
!, just, he wanted to preserve such things
his only surety Of this was the note

IF you forget to mail the letter your
wife handed you. and she asks you
i why you forgot 1t. you will prob
ably answer, "Or, I Just forgot
that was all" But that really isn't all.
There is a reason for everything, and
that includes forgetting to mail your
wife's letters.
Scientists have made great progress
slips Of the tongue, and other mental
freaks, such as mispla cling objects,
twisting names about false recognition
false steps and the like.
Prof. sigmund Freud of Vienna, al
readv prominent because Of his remark

explaining Just why we dream certain
things and what relation they have to
the physical and mental makeup of the
dreamer, argues that lack of observa-
tion where It should be almost involun-
tary, Observation-Disclosures. twisted pro-
nunciation and such things are really,
ne argues, due to certain mental mo-
tives that have been suppressed or con-
ceaied by other trains of thought.
For example, the husband takes the
letter his wife hands him, places 1t in
MS pocket. and then forRets all about
II. The underlying reason for this is
really dislikes to be bothered with such
q petty errand. II you were to tell him
this he would deny 1t and think him
self honest in making the denial This
proves Prof. Freud's theory that II is
due to a concealed train OF thought.
Almost sub-consciously the husband
thinks. "Oh. bother: the letter Nigh,
be dropped into the nearest letter box
by the maid this will keep me worried
trying to remember It."
Subconscious Annoyances.
The husband does not really become
aware OF this underlying thought. II
merely flashes through his brain and
he forgets to mail the letter because OF
1t. In other words. we are always in
clined to tuck away into forgetfuIness
as far as possible all thoughts that are
unpleasant.

-HE most advanced educators agree
in condemning the present col
lese-dictated high school courses.
which in turn compel the high
school-dictated courses in grammar
schools, as poorly adapted to the real
needs Of the people. Emphasis Is placed
on the wrong subjects in both high school
and grammar school, they maintain. and
many subjects which would be of great
value in the lives of the majority of
pupils are practically elm mated.
The high school is failing in its broad
est service, educators say, because or
the incubus of college dominion. The
courses of study in most high schools,
are limited to subjects accepted Tor
college entrance and methods and scope
Of instruction are determined by college
entrance examinations. made by special
lists whose viewpoint Is not the child
welfare but the requirements for ad-
vanced study of the various subjects.
It is charged that high school teachers
have, by tradition and training, come
to see in foreign lanuages. alge bra ana
geometry, the only way to intellectual
salvation and that they fear the ascen-
Ideals of high scholarship for the few
are set as standards for the many.
The Secondary School Aim.
Statistics show that only one IN
college and thus four Of the best years
in the life Of IS per cent Of young
men and women are wasted in high
school for the sake of having a course
which will prepare the. other per cent
for college. But the trouble does not
end there. AS the high school. In our
system Of education, is compelled TO
lay more stress upon pumping the stu
dent full Of college requirement sub
jects than on teaching him something
useful in after life. so must grammar
school teachers strain every nerve to
cover the ground measured by high
school entrance examinations.
Excursions into fields not traversed oy
the examination road are forbidden; the
real interests of boys and girls must
not interfere with reaching the next sta
ton In the prescribed time; everything

cred valueless in the school curriculum

would be saved and turned into a
steady worker. and the man out of

for n moment. and then admitting an
intimate and profound knowledge of
the unemployed man, proceeded to
classify him.
People make a great mistake in
thinking that all men without Jobs
do not want them. They may not
want certain Jobs. but they will jump
at others.
THE unemployed man. roughly
speaking. Is of three kinds. mean
the man who is chronically unem-
ployed. the man who brings about
the very condition OF which Mr.. Tay-
lor spoke, chronic unemployment.
First. there Is the hobo. He Is
a seasonal laborer. and will work.
He should be distinguished from tho
tramp and the bum. The tramp Is a
wanderer. a man who moves from
place to place. He may work a while.
but he is constantly moving on. He
Is a result of the seasonal ever in
and out move-on labor.

won't work. He pan-handles. He
