The typical American hardly be described by nam

He would have to have tie money making instincts Of

Our social system does not and
never has provided method
where people can meet others
who would be most congenial to
them. We seem not to have
the proper avenues for bringing
persons of the same type into
contact. Hundreds of girls, and
almost an equal number of boys,
write to me constantly bewailing
the fact that they cannot meet
the persons who interest them.
There seems almost no help for
this condition. Whether one
meets the kind of persons one
likes or not seems to be entire
ly a matter of luck and some,
like yourself, seem always out
of luck.
My only suggestion in your
case would be for you to Join
classes of some sort or attend
lectures. In these centers, it
seems to me, you would be more
likely to find the kind Of man
