tuS tl'dItu .NHSdLInF 1 Some people are abnormallv bash fui, modest or shy. Such people are likely to resent violently the insinua- i ton that they feel themselves in ferior.
 It has been pointed out that a 1 hunchbaCk, dwarf or a person with a clubfoot is not likely 10 be shy be- cause his inferiority is obvious. The one who is abnormally shy is the one who feels inferior but is unwill- ing to admit it.
 The boy in school who through some accident is stigmatized as coward may be left with awkward shyness for the rest of his life. sometimes these people are relieved by finding themselves under cir cumstances under which the majori- ty of those present suffer fear.
 Common Causes
 In consideration of the subject. some physicians point out that in ability to play games will often cause a feeling of inferiority that persists into later life. A real or fanced ab- sence of physical attractiveness is a fairly common cause of shyness in
