SECRETS OF
HEALTH

noN'T be angry because I ask
~ the question. Are you a day
dreamer? It's no disgrace to be
a day-dreamer.
Some people. probably most
people. not understanding the
question, would Indignantly deny
that they went in for day-dreams,
or 'phantasy." as the psycholo-
gist calls them. OF course, they
would be wrong. The fact Is that
no living person can do without
a certain amount of phantasy.
1t Is only uniformed people who
are ashamed of their day-dreams
and hide them away or entirely
deny them.
Phantasy takes many different
forms. 1t starts, like most habits,
in childhood. The new baby finds
the world a very cold. hard place.
At birth 1t is forced into an
existence full OF shocks and new
experiences. So the instinct of
its parents il to soften the world
to 1t as much as possible. They
often try to do this by explain.
ing the unpleasant things of life
In make-believe or phantasy.
Ihus some one Is very i'll and
is not expected to live. We tell
the child 80 and so is not very
well" We tell it stories. We
give 1t books to read which end
happily. We in that way shield
the child from contact with
reality until we think it is old
enough to bear it. 1t happens
that we too often do it longer
than Is well for the child.
Now child has no contact with
reality. On the other hand, the
full-fledged adult should be COM
pletely in contact with it. He or
she should have no room for phan-
,tasy. To grow is to move onward
toward a fuller understanding OF
reality. Unfortunately there is no
such thing as a full-fledged adult,
or, at any rate, they are very rare.
Most OF us spend our time oscillat.
ing between the two things-we
grow a little; then. finding reality
too hard for us, We ruE away back
into phantasy.
Here, for instance, Is a bit of
reality that we either face or treat
with phantasy. Let us say we get
home from work. We find that
some one has sent an unexpected
bill. 1t ID so heavy that we cannot
see how we are going to pay it.
We may sit down and figure out
plans for meeting it by installments
or by borrowing from some one
else, or by any other way. That is
facing the situation-the grown.up
thing to do. On the other hand,
we may push it out of our thoughts
with sigh or smile. We may sit
down and fancy how nice 1t would
be to be rich. That Is the childish
thing to do. That is repression.
That means running backwards in
the scale Of evolution to the infan-
tile end Of things. It is treating
the situation with the kind OF
phantasy that is most harmful.
But 1t Is kind OF fancy in which
we are all too prone to indulge.
What would you do to a man
who called you a neurotic?
That is what psychologists call a
person who does this sort Of thing
when he is faced with a difficulty.
The neurotic person of this type
is one who cannot or will not
face the realities of life, but is
always running away into what
might have been.

If this upper section of the drive

to go ahead with the grading in the

In connection with plans for the
ultimate extension Of this connecting

how many entrances there should be
