Practical Psychology.

owing to its recent progress
i and service is attracting wide public
attention. The publicity is being used for all sorts
of schemes. some of which may seriously injure
psychology, not only in its applications but also in
its academic standing. 1t is desirable that the
general public shall have some OF learning
what psychology and what it cannot do and
who can and who can not do it. An organized
group of psychologists, whose standing is recog-
nized, exert useful influence at the present
time.
There is much psychological work OF economic
value that might at present be undertaken to ad-
vantage and there are those competent to do the
work, but satisfactory method exists for bring
ing them together. 1t is desirable to extend the
work and especially to obtain larger number OF
able workers and to provide more adequately for
those who take up psychology. whether as an in
dependent profession in universities and other
institutions.
The support of research work in any science
has always been difficult problem. In the past
such work has been carried forward mostly By
those earning their living by teaching. The indus
trial laboratories helping to improve the
situation in chemistry, physics and the medical
sciences; arc being engaged at relatively large
salaries to do research work. often without direct
reference to its useful applications. II research
in psychology be supported as by-product
of economic service its progress will be accelerated
in a geometrcal ratio.
Perhaps the greatest opportunity is the in
vestigation OF problems directly or indirectly OF
economic value to individuals or groups. OF which
the work in industrial chemistry OF the Mellon
Institute OF Pittsburgh is an example. Some
seventy fellows, mostly younger men, paid an
average salary of about $1,000. are engaged in
research on problems OF use to manufacturing
chemists
The problem OF selection for general intelligence
and Tor special aptitudcs training is one in
which psychology be of great service at the
present time. If standard tests arc developed to
be used everywhere, both among employees IN
groups and with individuals seeking employment
or advancement, the corporation can give useful
employment to many psychologists and probably
earn sufficient income to carry on its work, and
bv research improve and standardize the tests

the letter of the New York lady.
who does not like the Mcintyre
daily letters you print. Why. then,
does she read them? Why not read
what she likes and leave the rest
for others. Plenty of people. of
whom | am one. enjoy those let
tiers: they arc quaint and humorous.
and I like their resemblance to the
repys letters very much. As to
the other features she mentions,
they are for young folks who want
them. not for old fogies who do
not want them. No paper or maya
zine can cater to but one class Of
readers: they must publish food for
all sorts. Let us remember that
the individual is just an atom or
humanity. Unless we are rich
enough to own a paper OF our
own. we will have to share it with
others. and simply Gull out the
things we enjoy. There is always

il seemed unnecessary and also I'M

siderable loss of money. 1t may
sound a small sum TO you. but II
cost us in the neighborhood OF

in that theater by Mr.. Mccormick
