Psychology and the War.

Prof. G.. Stanley Hall of the Clark
university, United States, places the
subject of applied psychology on a
high plane in relation to the war. He
states:
Whatever system has been en-
ployed, it is evident that applied
psychology has produced results in
this war which it was never possible
to attain before. Men have endured
more, they have shown more heroism
and daring and have submitted to
more punishment than in any pre-
vious war. No such slaughter would
have been possible in former wars
without provoking a panic. This has
unquestionably been due to the sys-
tenn of psychological selection, not
only for the various grades of service
but for special activities within each
grade. Our country may as we'll think
of going to war without first-class mil
itary equipment as without a knowl-
edge of applied psychology. The coun-
ell of national defense seems to have
recognized this and the National Re-
search council within that body will, I
understand, contain representative
psychologists"
