Are You
Mob-MindedP
by Frederic ]. Haskin

Washington, June EFF YOU would
serve your country and civilization IN
general, don't follow crowds.
This il the advice OF psychologists
to the modern man In general. and
the American i'm particular. They say
| that America is becoming a mob
minded country. and that its progress
toward a higher degree of civilization
| lis blocked by this. perhaps more than
| by any one other thing. The only
| hing that can save us, according TO
| the scientists. is an increase in the
number of individuals who refuse TO
follow the crowd.
Recent outbreaks of mob violence
have attracted widespread attention,
and have resulted in much discussion.
Bills have been introduced into Con-
gress and into State legislatures to
prevent them. And they illustrate
the essential popularity of the mob
mind--its inferiority. 1t is we'll
known that in a lynching mob. acts
of violence and cruelty are commit
| ted by individuals who would not even
contemplate them alone. The mob
brings to the surface the lowest in
| stincts which are shared by all its
members. IL is a reversion to savag-
| cry.
| But the mob of physical violence is
only the most obvious mob. We are
mob-minded people, the psychologists
say. in ways less evident and even
more dangerous. We all read the
same things. eat the same things,
wear the same things, hold the same
opinions. Most of US are following
crowds even when we are alone. There
! is no country in which people all act,
talk. look and think so much alike,
individuality is rare among us, ana
we are apt TO penalize II. The man
who does not follow the crowd Is
often called queer and is ostracized
In no other country, we are told, Il
there so little tolerance for the ma1
who is different And when we os-
ltraciZe or shun a man who is different
simply because he is different, we are
doing in a less obvious way, exactly
what the mob did which tarred and
/ feathered a reformer because II dtd
! not like the way he managed his own
affairs.
We suppress individuality in It's
more obvious distasteful manifesta-
tions by physical violence once in a
while. and we constantly suppress in
dividuality in harmless and sometimes
valuable forms by mental and social
violence.
But individuality is the life blood OF
civilization Civilization was built by
men who dared TO be different from
the mob. Its constructive work Is
.,lx,,a,-S - r.riad ~, hy fherD
Waste of Human Material.
BY penalizing individuality, say the
PSYCHOLOGISTS, we are impeding cur
progress at its source. That is why
England produces four or five great
writer's for every one that we pro
duce, with twice as great a popula
ton 1t is why most important scien-
tiic discovery is made in Europe,
while we merely make inventions. 1t
is one reason why we rank about
tenth among the civilized nations in
education. and why our universities
are so far below those of Europe.
Our salvation lies in the develop
ment OF persons who will refrain from
following crowds-and not only the
lynching crowds and crowds that run

Il message to yon

The McGraw-Hill Company, Inc, which is
publishing this advertisement this morning in
many large cities, is an independent organiza'
lion issuing eleven great journals Of service to
modern business.
1t can speak frankly, having no axe to grind.
Andits message TO the American family is this
Don't think of your electric light company
merely as an impersonal thing, Don't imagine
that its problems are not your Problems
They are.
For under the roof Of eiectriopower plants
lies much Of the answer TO the question whether
American living standards can continue TO rise
We can ali have more comforts IL we load
more of our uncomfortable tasks onto cleo
tricity. We can all have more leisure If we
multiply the power OF machines TO do our work
The best investment anyone Of us can make
is to encourage these companies to expand, pro-
duce more power, take ON more work.
And whoever strikes blow at the develop
nent OF electric service, strikes a blow at
American standards Of living and the comfort
and convenience and leisure Of the average
American home,

How can this American fanily's
living standards be maintained {?

TEr us bring this question right down to earth.
Take any American family anywhere.
For the last five years 1t has probably had
more comforts, more leisure, more real salts
faction In living than ever enjoyed before.
Now comes readjustment. Things 60 down
And almost every family stands face to face
with this question:
Must go back 10 the old standards of living
can somehow keep what we have gained?
Are comforts for everybody possible only in
period OF imitation the world reach a
place where sresye1s will enjoy comforts aU
tic esneR
lt viii help Ills 10 get clearer perspective il
we 60 back a bit and see what has happened GO
the race I'm the past.
5000 years ago and nom
The Great Pyramid of Egypt was half century
i'm building; sacrificing the life blood of 100000
men. There was Little comfort In Egypt except
for royalty.

and wellpaid labor profits from the enterprise.
What has made the difference?
Engneering skill and scientific methods Yes
BUT chiefly machinery and power. We have
learned how to saddle onto the broad shoulders
OF steam and electricity the heavy burdens that
once broke men down.
Or take another example.

Less than a million human beings fighting
starvation i'm continent that now feeds 10
millions and has a surplus to export.
Again the difference has come through ma
chinery and power.
In other words, the standard Of living goes
up pretty much in proportion are able 70

of machines.
Looking ahead q fen years
In Chicago this neck there IS IA convention Of men
who will haze lot to do in raising and maintain

They are the executives of the electric>light-
and.power companies Of the United States
delegates to the annual convention Of the Ma.
tional Electric Light Association.
They rum the power plants that light our
houses and streets, move our trolley cars, Lift
our elevators and do the sweeping and washing

And it would amaze YOU If you could attend
the sessions and learn the plans that these men
have for increasing their service.
The time Is coming when every stream that
flows down hillside will be harnessed to make
Life more comfortable in an American towns
