Editorial Comment
Body and Soul


("Uncle Dudley in Boston Globe)
For a. generation there has been
controversy as TO what is called by
some faith and by others mental
healing. Medicine. which has made
unbelievable progress on what is
regarded as the distinctively physical
side, has attained no such leader
ship in the field of mental ills. In
stead motley assortment of heal
ers protesting to use psychology,
faith. or prayer, has disputed the
exclusive right of the doctor OF
medicine to deal with many all
ments.
An interesting result of this situa-
ton is the appointment by the Arch :
bishop of Canterbury of a commit
tee of physicians and clergymen to
make an inquiry into spiritual heal
ing and place it upon a scientific
basis. -,
If no names are given most people
will admit that non medical healers
have accomplished startling results
to the restoration of many sufferers
TO health. They will also admit that
in numerous instances i'll people
have been cruelty disappointed in the
hope held out to them that they
could be made we'll by irregulars
however we'll intentioned.
When people are moved to tell
the experiences of themselves and
OF their friends in search of health
the listener finds it difficult to draw
conclusions. Here is one, at present
an example of Astounding, life. who
declares that he was wreck until
he called in the services of one who
used no drugs at all, but demanded
faith and a new mental attitude. To
match the story is another Of dismal
failure for what seems TO have been
similar treatment.
The regular doctors of medicine
are disposed to resent an invasion OF
their field by outsiders. Some of the
more successful of the outsiders
give the impression that ordinary
doctors possess no training that fits
them for dealing with the disorders
of mans inner nature.
1t may be thai this English COM
mittee will do service in clearins
up situation that has become dark

theory that sleep may be nothing more

The finding was tentative and the
research work will be continued but
meanwhile the scientists say that, II

RECOGNITION OF SERVICE

There is criticism of bureaucrats,
and not without show of reason !;
there Is indifference to the wage of
the public service employe because
of what appears to be quite pre-
vaiiing impression that he gets
paid for all he does and on the whole
has rather soft job" This. not
withstanding, excellence in most
endeavors depends largely on the
workers interest in what he is do
ing, to which interest recognition OF
excellence is a stimulant that-in most
instances has no substitute.
From this conclusion is easy that
il we are to obtain he best results
from our public servants the public
should endeavor to comprehend and
appreciate both faithfulness and eff
ficiency.
In a recent address Mr.. Hughes
found occasion to allude to the CO.
operation he as Secretary of State
received from his associates and
SuuOlulIdtSSss I1S 0SSSiAbcu thSiu es
model public servants, taking pride
in their work, though usually under
paid and less appreciated. His re-
marks were a timely reminder Of a
bad habit in which We indulge, that
OF ascribing superman qualities to
those Of our leaders in war or peace,
who happen to catch the popular
fancy, while we regard, often. with
indifference, the aides and the rank
and file in the service. but for whose
efficiency the commanders would
fail From the record it seems that
those most prone to hero-worship
are the minimizing, who applaud
that which is thrust upon their notice
provided il pleases them for the mo-
ment, while all about them, even
they themselves may be party to it,
efficient service is being rendered
without due recognition.

mysterious circumstances IN 1857.
The chamberlain died a year later.
The alleged confession reveals that
Mile. Daum met Frederick while ne
was crown prince and when the lat
fer became king and heaped favors
upon his chamberlain, she became
jealous. AS result, the document
continues, she poisoned both the
Fredersdorffs, altered the chamber

and filed fake marriage certificate
showing she was the chamberlain's
first wife, whom he had not legally
divorced before marrying a second

king was shocked to learn the cham

love affair with Mile. Daum not only
to the queen but to the public.
