This title is just a grand name Tor
the state of being conceited or humble

ferority or superiority complex IS
state which is abnormal in both dlrec-
tons because the owner OF the com
pick sees himself in an exaggerated
light. being either too meek or TOO ar
rogant for his own good.
Some one made the statement i'll my
hearing that boys were always more
conceited than girls. That Is some
thing to think about. Are they? And
If SO. why? 1t seems TO me that there
is a really very simple answer TO that
and ii is a true statement, a
least superticially.
Most mothers are intent on keeping
their daughters from being concelted.
To that end they deprecate their good
looks and try 10 pretend that they
consider them only just bright enough.
but not too bright This method is
more or less unconscious, but any
mother. If she analyses her feelings
toward her daughters. will admit that
she does this very thing-tries TO keep
from them a knowledge Of their char
acteristiCs,. either physical or mental.
But how about her sons? What
does she do with them from babyhood
on up? She tells them how marvel
Gus they are. Such big mem Not
just as good. bur better than this or
that playmate She instils in her boy
the idea of his superiority and when
he grows UP a little more there is al
ways some girl who will carry on the
good work. We all admit that the
way to a mans heart is not by way
of his stomach. but through hattery.
A man seldom listens to the accom-
pliSnments OF his feminine friends, In
fact the wise female keeps such things
to herself; but he has no reticences at
all when II comes 70 pouring his eX-
ploits in her ready ear.
He is used 10 such a receptacle for
his condolences.
Perhaps after all this IS just as ii
should be. The man with an inferi-
GRITTY complex is usually the one who
has an exaggerated awareness that
physically he is inferior to the aver
age male. If he has no adOring moth
ers and sisters to wipe out this aware
ness he grows up into one of those
poor human worms" who constantly
apologize for being alive. 1t is better
for the person himself and for society
in general that men feel themselves
dominant personalities, especially if
they be of just ordinary mentality.
The effort of men of inferior physical
standards to drag themselves up to
extraordinary heights by sheer force
of mentality is eXemplitied by history
Caesar. Napoleon, Milton, Stein
metz, to name but a few.
In the future we may find mothers
who will have the courage to give
their daughters superiority completes.
Who knows how many feminine
geniuses such course may develop.
