SHAPE YOUR ENVIRONMENT
BY H. Addington Bruce

r is important always to bear in mind
l that, as psychologists more and more in
sist, we are largely creatures of our en-
vironment. To an extent unsupported by
most of us the character of our surroundings
determines the manner Of our thinking
and our behaving.
But Of equal Importance is it to remember
that we ourselves can largely determine the
character of our surroundings.
No matter how poor we may be it always
is possible, for example, to make our imme-
1iate home environment such as to radiate
to us ideas of cherefulness, brightness, and
goodwill. This even if we have to live in
an apartment so situated as to be sunless
most of the day.
At the first opportunity, to be sure it will
be well to move from such an apartment.
But so long as we must live in it we can take
special pains to keep it neat and clean, to
adorn it with bright hangings, carpets and
coverings that are light-colored without be-
ing gaudy, pictures of cheerful themes, and
ornaments chosen with an eye to aesthetic eff
feet.
Always, too, we can make it point to
have in the home little library of good
books.
The purchase of books may seem an ex-
traVagance because of our limited means Ac-
tua1ly, by reason of their mind-developing
power to introduce into the home environ
ment some well-selected books is one of the
DeSC OF investments.
Especially will this be the case if, in our
hours of leisure, circumstances deprive US
of mental stimulus and refreshment from
the persons who constitute the human ele-
ment of our surroundings.
Everybody needs compantonship, and hui
man associations are essential to normal
life. But if ones associates are in the main
people more inert than active intellectually,
one. wi, likewise tend to intellectual inertia
unless some environmental corrective be
found. There is nothing the equal of good
books to supply such a corrective.
And, most of all, if we are forced to a
realization that our general environment
tends to hurt rather than help u.s. should we
include our little home library, and frequent
ly read, books Of the so-called "inspiratlonal''
type. For, IS phrased by that practical psy-
chologist, Claude William Chamberlain:
Eve can build our world to remarkable
extent. We can make our environment what
we will to make it.
But we must make real effort to keep it
constructive while destructive vibrations are
coming from every side and sometimes sub
merging. us in fear, hate, worry, jealousy dis
coragement and other injurious thoughts"
The reading Of inspirational books is, in
deed, splendid aid to this desirable end of
reshap1ng the environment And to say who
would avail themselves of this aid, but are
uncertain as to the books that might help
them most, will gladly send little list if
1nclos1ng star ped and addressed envelope,
they will write me in the care of this news
paper.

MONSIEUR DE MOSCOW
BY DR.. Frank Crane

The public executioner in Paris used to be
called Monsieur de Paris
Under the Old Regime the job of headstnan
was hereditary, like all privileges, and de-
scended from father to son. And the family
which had this right was entitled to the
blazon Of Monsieur de Paris
The Bolshevik paradise will stand for none
of this hereditary nonsense. 1t will not admit
the shameful survival of privilege
According to a despatch from Helsingfors
we learn that the Bolshevik government in
Russia has taken measures to create at Mos
cow school of executioners.
So doing, it has made another one of those
gestures so striking to the imagination which
illustrates with what solicitude and intelli-
gence the paternal power of the proletariat is
busy with the welfare of the people.
The announcement also states that labor
atory is placed at the disposal of the pupils.
In other words, the full benefit of science
is to be placed at the disposition of the SEN
tleman whose business it is to chop off the
heads of criminals.
Thus we have another step toward the COM
ing democracy; another indication that the
gentlemen in charge of things in Russia are
going to fashion a new world.
One can but wonder what sort of instruction
the pupils in execution are going to receive.
Will there be practical exercises in decapita-
ton?
Will there be autopsies and dissections in
connection with the course in cephalotomy?
Will there be experiments in poisons and the
culture of disease germs?
In fine, will we at last realize the dream of
making murder fine art?
Under the grateful influence Of competition,
the young laborers in the garden Of capital
punishment will doubtless discover thousand
and one new and ingenious ways to shorten
the lives of those undisciLlined citizens who
refuse to believe in the autocracy of the prole-
tariat.
Still. If we are going to have capital punish
ment, it might be just as we'll to have the
matter attended 10 by experts.N And it is per-
fectly understandable how if any one was go
ing to have his head Topped off he would like
it done in a neat and workman-like manner.
