Washington has been secretly
increasing the size of coin or cur

everything has necessitated the use
of bigger and bigger bills-as well as
more of them. There are those who

situation such as obtained in the
palmy days of King Solomon, when
the principal coin. the gold talent,

through life too much like an old man
of the sea; on our backs. weighing us
down with outworn traditions, super
stitions and prejudices that involve us
in all sorts of difficulties with the
present.
A GREAT French physician has
shown how his patients with hys-
terra relive in their attacks highly
emotional past experiences. Thus one
re.enacts the events that eliminated
in the suicide of a dear friend; another
relives the death agonies of a beloved
mother, while others do the same sort
of thing as the result of being fright
ened or injured in various ways.
1t took 300 years to overcome the
prejudice against potatoes, and we all
know how long it took to live down
the superstition of witchcraft and how
violently we support our politics or
our religion, although we may know
little about either, only having been
brought up as children in a particular
set of beliefs. This conservative spirit
has its advantages in making rapid
and often ill-advised changes in
beliefs, in standards, in institutions,
impossible, but it also enslaves us to
beliefs and practices that have long
outlved their values. Progress. happi-
ness and success are attained only at
the cost of constant revaluation OF

only freedom lies in first recognizing
these demands clearly and not permit
ting ourselves to be blind to them just
because we may not approve of them
and, secondly, meeting them as effect

While many, men fail because they
have some definite physical handicap.
it is with that more subtle group of
failures due to certain set ways of be-
havior, certain kinds of conduct under
given circumstances and certain types
of personality that this set of articles
will deal especially.
To give some idea of what I mean:
Man is the only animal that is able to
profit by past experience; to remember
the past: TO use the experience gained
in the past to assist in living in the
present and to shape his conduct to-
ward a future goal. This marvellous
advantage we possess over animals
has. however, its drawback, for we arc

either happy or unhappy, either well
or ill, and have taught us that we are
never in a position to decide arbitrarily
upon the possibilities of any human
being. for we find many failing with
all the advantages seemingly on their
side and many succeeding in spite of
what appear to be overwhelming odds.
The human being is too infinitely
complex for us to be arbitrary in our
judgments of possibilities; we have
learned always to try for better results
and are often rewarded by finding
that an individual for whom there
seemed to be little hope develops under
wise and sympathetic guidance and as
sistance powers that could not have
been foretold and were not dreamed of.
1t is hoped that readers may be
given an incentive to examine them
selves more carefully so far as possible
in judicial frame of mind that will
acknowledge shortcomings as well as
eXcellences. This is not an easy thing
to do. for we are quite naturally blind
to that which does not please us in
ourselves. Life. however. is memorable
