New Fortune Teller
In response to the deeply felt hui

Of mystics. medicine men, seers and

of fortune teller. whose stock in trade
is science instead Of superstition.
These modern physicians to the mind
use the priori method; they form their
conclusions from the facts.
Their science Is psychology, a
much abused term, taken in vain by
many mountabanks, Just as medicine
is disgraced by pseudo scientists. That
scientific psychology is one Of the
most promising sciences cannot be
doubted, after learning what has been
done already.
Business IS so much a matter Of
personality and capabilities that psy-

Academy of Political and Social

interest. 1t would make every dealer
