KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

and principles, and you are quite calm
about 1t. and are just looking for the
right solution. In many of these mat
ters emotional concerns are involved.
often personal and intimate ones. The
measures suggested must fit In with the
possibilities and habits of mind OF the
case" or else they meet with resistance
and failure.
Many of these persons with problems
are neither on the wrong track nor yet
on the right one What the expert IN
mental fitness can do is to disabuse
their minds of ways of thinking and
feeling that obstruct a normal mode OF
behavior, for most people are not
troubled by these impediments.
There are no cure-all methods. for
most things worth while have to be
worked for. And there are no simple
easy knacks and tricks, as so many
popular books-that is, books written
Tor the people, written to SELL" as the
phrase goes-tell you All you get from
them is a sort Of general feeling Of
cneer-up; dismiss bad thoughts: switch
over; do this daily DOZEN; and you'll
wake up In world chirping like a
cricket and with everything as clear as
crystal The trouble with that solution
Is tnat people for whom 1t would work
would never have the real troublesome
problems to begin with.
The reason why a day's mail brings
a pretty complicated set of inquiries is
because men and women are fearfully
and wonderfully made. A clinic for the
mind as nature made it inevitably be-
comes complicated clearing house
Our ways Of living make it more so.

All this and much more is in the

the simpler questions of recommending
of book on how to raise infants, how
to aid memory. to prevent mind-wan-
dering, to cure suffering: or the pro-

confessional will cure kleptomania or
the general questions; whether the off,
spring of first cousins are likely to have
weak minds: the value of intelligence
tests or the inquiries concerning widely
advertised systems of mind-training,
which are sound and which frauds.
Then there are the believers in
strange powers of the mind, who are
anxious to convince tha world of the

are the more intimate letters telling of
personal difficulties. family conflicts, in
feriorfty feelings of race or class, rebel

also a vague as well as an intelligent

that psychology cannot be all things TO

Realizing that they we're insolvent
and that their creditors would not carry
them much longer, the firm OF Small
Bros. began TO plan to save as much as
possible
Knowing also that an individual lis
allowed a monetary exemption and a
partnership no exemption at all they
dissolved the partnership and divided
the assets.
Each one Immediately went into
bankruptcy as individuals, and each filed
claims for the exemption The creditors
realized for the frat time the cause OF
the dissolution, and they objected 10 the
individual exemptions being allowed.
The partners insisted on their exemp-
tons, coYitending that the dissolution
had been legal and that. as each partner
had gone into bankruptcy as an indi-
yiduAi, he was entitled TO all the rights
Of an individual. and each was, there
fore, entitled 10 the statutory exemp~
ton.
The court however, denied their
claims for exemptions, stating
