Popular Talks on Efficiency
To Be Given In This City

"Be careful what you wish fer,
YOU might git it," the country dea-
con told the young man just start
ing for the city. Science has proven
that the deacon spoke very wisely.
Today the practical psychologist
teaches that you do get what you
wish for, that there Is no chance but
that your life is what you have made
1t and that by learning how you can
begin to mould your life consciously.
You build bridges, roads, businesses
you start how they will look when
as intelligently? You have to learn
how to build bridges, it is the same
with everyday living. To do it skill
fully one has to learn how.
Next Tuesday there is to begin
series of free. popular talks on
Practical Psychology. The wide
spread teaching of Practical Psyche
logy is one hope in the solution of
our own personal problems and those
of our community. Thousands of
people in New England and hundreds
OF thousands more in this country
and abroad, meet weekly to study
Practical Psychology, and they are
stronger, happier, more successful,
and finer personalities because of
what they have learned.
Miss Naomi Triton who is giving
these talks in Augusta is executive
secretary of the New England Fed
Grafton of Psychology Clubs. She
has lectured often in many of the
larger New England cities, Hartford,
Waterbury,, Portland, Bangor.
Springfield, Boston, and Worcester,
as well as to Woman's Clubs, Ro-
tary. kiwanis Clubs and High
Schools. She comes to Augusta with
the best wishes of the hundreds of
friends she has already made in New
England.
