TRENTON, y. j., Oct. H.-Opering the

William Howard TAFT attacked President

"Under the duress OF threat the Presi-

THEY HIT.

(Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

In spite of everything, in spite of the
glee-shouts of the drunken and hilarious,
in spite of the whines from cohorts of

rich and the complainings of the poor,

that mans happiness depends upon
what is inside of him and not in what is
around him.

to the territory lying between that chair
and his bedroom, and that chair and the

The word psychology" is diff

cult to pronounce, and its meaning
is not always comprehended.
Often-especialiy nowadays when
SO much Il heard of it--those be-
wildered by 1t feel ashamed TO con-
fess their bewilderment. They fear
they will stand convicted OF gross
ignorance IL they do not know what
psychology is.
For their consolation, let me say
that their ignorance" is shared by
many highly successful men OF az
fairs.
Among those who have privately
asked me to explain to them the
meaning OF psychology. | recall at a
moments thinking a banker. a
prominent real estate operator. and
the president OF the board OF trus-
tees Of a large public library.
The trouble Is that there Is a
widespread notion that psychology
is something mysterious and occult.
As a matter OF fact, there Is moth
ing occult In II.
II Is simply a special branch OF
science having for It's object the
systematic study of the workings
OF the mind.
To a certain extent everybody is
more or less Of psychologist him
self and Is personally interested in
the practical results OF psychology.
AS one distinguished psychologist
has recently pointed out:
"All OF US want to understand
how much We can trust our memory
and our attention and our will. and
how We can train our mind, or how
we can suppress an welcome
emotion.
Above all. we want 10 look into
our neighbours mind for our prac-
teal purposes.
How will he behave? His friend
Illness or his unkindness, his care
fulness or his negligence. his good
or his bad memory, his humor or
his character. may be matters OF
deep concern TO us.
I'VE try TO foresee how another's
mind will work, just as we try 10
foresee how the physical instru-
ments and the chemical substances
| will help or hinder u.s."
This is the field. this the subject
matter OF psychology. And every
man who tries TO study human ma
ture by the aid OF his eyes and his
ears is doing psychological work.

To be sure. there is this 10 be

Just as in the physical sciences,
profound study and familiarity with
Iittie-known facts and special meth
DDS OF research are necessary to

professional psychologist.
Every man. on the other hand,

has to do Is 10 familiarize himself

be self-evident that a science which,

Shares for the Feet of
Youth Are Everywhere in
the Advertising of Today

The greatest power for good and evil
is in SUGGESTION.
Through it most of our teaching is
done.
The more subtle and attractive it is,
the better, for it persuades by gentle
methods rather than trying to force UNI
welcome truths OF falsehoods into the
mind.
Advertising is entirely based upon this
principle, which is used for uplifting or
degrading purposes as the case may be.
The uplifting purpose will take care of
itself; the degrading purpose is trying to
take care" of us, but we want to make
its path little sleeper, little stonier, a
little less comfortable than it is at the
present time.
Advertising which caters to the baser
side of life drags down our youth more
than any other one thing.
1t does it in such an attractive way and
with such apparent innocence that it
reaches, through this power of sugges-
ton, the mind and appetites, and leaves
its impression.
Men are employed to make psychology
cal studies of human nature to find just
how far they may go in this form of
money getting before it recoils upon it.
self.
We are given newspaper ads, bill
boards, electric signs, photographs
alluring to the careless feet of youth.
We have purity the victor" for beer
sign, and knight in shining arrnor
plunging his lance into an endorsed foe.
Knights are the pledged champions of
virtue and protectors of the oppressed.
We have beer ad. in the newspapers
that offers the boy three bottles, free :
for starter.
We have Whose doctor said good to-
bacco won't hurt you? Ask dad, he
knows"
Immediately the thought of the doctor
who stands for health and veracity in the
mind of boy, and dad" to whorl he
looks with faith and trust, appear TO him
as friends of tobacco.
This is vicious advantage to take. for
it is deliberate playing upon the better
side of youth to trap it into something
harmful.
The photographs displayed in front of
cheap theaters are disgrace to the city
and crowd of young men and boys can
always be seen about them.
What these lead to, in many cases, is
perfectly well known to the conservers Of
health and morals, but while on the one
hand we are piously endeavoring 10
'clean up" the town, We are, on the 9TH
err, allowing things to exist which will de-
mand and make possible continuance of
the very conditions which We hope to
eradicate.
The REASON is plain.
Money; greed; an effort to take from
the poor young man his last dime and
plunge the rich young man into orgies of
self-indulgence where dollars, not dimes,
will be spent.
But is it not like pouring our substance
into barrel and leaving out the stop
per?
