MODERN PSYCHOLOGY
By H. Addington Bruce

THERE are several important differences
between the psychology of today and
the psychology of only a few years
ago. Chief among these is the fact that
while the old psychology was content to de-
scribe mental processes, the great aim OF
| modern psychology is to account for them
and to explain human behavior.
Psychology, that is to say, has become far
more dynamic, far more practically helpful
than it used to be. Its scope has increased
enormously. AS some one has well said, it
has become the general science of how to
live.
Also, with it's growing recognition of the
many factors conditioning human behavior
and causing deviations from the normal, it
has on the one hand linked itself more close
ly with other sciences, and on the other hand
has emphasized the Importance Of reckoning
with individual variations in the psychic
makeup Of men and women.
"This," in the words of Professor j. Nc
Keen Cattell, as given at a recent meeting
OF the American Philosophical Society, 'has
made possible the applied psychology which
was of such service to the nation in time OF
war, and will prove of increasing value in
education and industry.
individuals can be selected for the work
for which they are fit, and can be placed in
the human and physical environment in
which their reactions are what we want.
"By cooperation with other sciences it is
also possible for psychology to change the

more effectively by a change in the environ
ment than by change in the constitution
Of the individually
But Industrial and moral improvement are
only two of many practical aims of modern
psychology. Indeed, it offers substantial
contributions to every phase of human &C
tivity, of systematized human behavior.
Thus, it helps physicians in the manage
ment Of the sick. 1t helps the sick to help
themselves back to health. 1t helps lawyers
in the preparation, and handling of their
cases. 1t helps clergymen both in their pull
pit efforts and their parochial labors.
1t has very special message for parents
anxious to rear their offspring Alright. 1t
lightens the burden of the school teacher.
1t makes it easier the task Of those whose
business it is to correct the abnormal be-
havior of the deficient and the delinquent.
Executive heads it assists in the manage
ment Of employees. 1t points out to statesmen
means for favorably influencing prospective
customers, so that a doubtful buyer may be
turned into certain one. The writer of ad-
vertisements draw from it many a valu-
able hint.
All this because psychology has wisely
shifted it's main concern from description to
analysis, from inner mental states to their
outer expression in behavior. And, it is safe
to predict, what it has already achieved is
slight compared with what it will achieve in
the years to come.
1t is really the youngest of the sciences.
Yet, for myself, I regard it as the greatest
of the sciences.

gently does DR.. Bush argue ON this point
when he declares: II have always been
friend of the Governors and his warm sup
porter, but the race in my section is between
Senator Hoke Smith and Thomas E. Watson
and the votes the Governor gets will simply
help Tom Watson. d. For this reason
hope all loyal Democrats may lay aside past
political prejudices and unite on Senator
Smith" This we believe, is the conviction
and will of thousands and tens of thousands
of Georgians who love their State with mind
as we'll as heart, and who will vote for her
largest welfare as the logic of this time de-
mands, regardless Of battles gone.

" HE chief thing that is the mat
ter with matrimony is dull

wives who are bored to death
over the bars in search of affinities

A CAPITALIST
By DR.. Frank Crane

One of the stories that should be added to
the Gospel according to the United States of
America is that of Mary Elizabeth, the maker
of the candy which bears her name. I no.
ticed the other day the announcement of her
engagement to be married. I never saw her
in my life, but I wish her much joy-that
she may live hundred years and have scores
of children.
Her real name is Evans. When her grand
father, who was judge in Syracuse, N. Y,
died, the family was in need Of good deal
of money. Little Mary Elizabeth was the
oldest of four children. She wanted to do
something that would add to the family in
come. Like a sensible person, she deter
mined to do that thing which she could do
best. In her case it happened to be making
candy AS she could make better candy than
any other girl she knew, she began making
homemade confectionery, and sold it on or
ders. When she was fifteen years old her
business had grown into a candy kitchen of
which Syracuse proud. She continued
doing the thing that she liked and could do
we'll, and she prospered. She has now an ex-
tensive business manufacturing candy and
is one Of the marked figures in the business
world.
1t is not hard to account for her success
Her career illustrates two great principles
CD Do what you like best to do, and (2)
Do what you can do better than anybody
else.
Mary Elizabeth is a good representative
of the Capitalistic Glass of this country. She
worked hard, used her brains, saved her
money, and now probably has few dollars
in the bank and owns bond or two.
In other words, her career illustrates what
sheer bunk the talk about the menace of
Capitalism is
All progress is the accumulation of capital
We usually think that only money or
things with money-value can be capital.
But learning is capital.
The apprentice learning how to run To-
connective is storing up skill-capital.
mans reputation is his moral capital.
Dstroy all capital or redistribute it, and
the very first thing labor would do would be
to begin anew to create it.
For the very purpose of labor is to make
;apital as the business of bees is to make
honey.
Therefore, instead of picturin gto yourself
the Capitalist as a gentleman with a huge
abdomen and side whiskers, think of the
Capitalist as this plucky little girl fighting
her way forward, making a success of her
self and giving employment to many workers.
And you'll be nearer the truth.
Anyhow, I cast my vote for any girl that
IS sense enough, or whose folks had sense
Ugh for her, to pick out, stick to and
,ortise name as wholesome and sweet as
Nv Elizabeth.
