Editorial Comment
A Little knowledge
eva shington POST

A student advises that psychoan-
alysis should be, left by the layman
to the scientific investigator, and
generally speaking, good advice it
is. That is not a subject that lends
itself to shallow study. A little
knowledge of 1t may truly prove a
dangerous thing, as witness the
number of suicides found with vol
umes of popularized psychoanalysis
by their sides. In human nature
are problems whose solution can
not be reached by rule of thumb.
1t has depths that are exceedingly
dangerous except when knowledge
offers chart and compass. The
average person can well afford to
remain ignorant of the abnormalities
of human nature.

But when he touches the keys, his
stature is forgotten. His playing has
attracted radio fans throughout the
United States and Canada to tune in

into the capitol home. where the
studio IS located, praising him.
Fans Respond
Proof of Snodgrass' fame as a
piano broadcaster is shown by the
thousands of kilograms he received,
the mash notes he has had to turn
down, the gifts of candy, tobacco,
musical instruments and other valu-
ables and his election to the highest
honor in fandOm. That honor is
first prize as most popular radio en-
tertainer in the country.
With the publication Of this an
nouncement by radio magazine,
came offers of adopting Snodgrass.

him enticing jobs and seeking his
parole. To all he has turned his
