KEEPING MENTALLY FIT
BY JOSEPH JASTROW.

| the public on the one hand and the in
telligence OF those who serve the public
on the other. You can't have business
more intelligent than the buying pub
lie and the selling clerks. It's q human
relation and finds its limitations in the
fact that neither party it as reasonable
and as rational as one should desire.
All that propose is to ask the business
man to look at the matter of his Or
ganization now and then in this light.
Does he use the methods he adopts
because the public is stupid or because
he must deal with stupid employees?
BY stupid I don't mean any unusual
measure Of the democratic quality; Just
the difference between the more than
and the less than good enough lntelli-
gence for the job My experience in
employing stenographers, all at about
the same wage. is that the result in
efficiency differs more than two to one,
in amount done and in quality of the
work between the two classes. The
very stupid, one doesn't bother with;
the very intelligent are rare enough to
be the few prizes in the lottery
If you organize your business, what
ever 1t may be, on a high standard of
intelligence, you won't need SO much
organization or so large staff
Whether and when 1t can be done I
shall not undertake to say. But the
psychology underlying this statement is
sound. You can't make anything fool
proof. least Of all complicated busi-
ness. It stands to reason that efficiency
and intelligence are mutually related.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Psychoanalysis.

Anything that doesn't bear fruit in
action is poison.
Psychoanalysis as theory Of mind
origins and destinies may be either a
fruit or a poison, depending on the
sort of fellow who uses it and why.
I suspect the poison stage is about
over. The half-baked novelist-psychol-
ogist has SKINNED the surface, made
his living the while, and now passes
out of the picture.
The fruit of psychoanalysis is putting
in its appearance. That fruit Is none
other than the remaking of the whole
science of psychology, II science 1t may
be called
The point in question is this: Before
Freud, the academic psychologists were
mechanists. They were searching for
a set of iron-cla6 laws which might be
said to govern the mental activities:
They took their cue from physical
science, the laws of which were uni
versally true. The law of gravitation
in physics would be an example of a
physical law the like of which the
academicians prior to Freud hoped to
find for psychology.
But Freud upset the hopes Of all
these mechanicians once for all. Psy-
choanalysis demonstrates that the hui
man mind creates its own energy; that
the human soul is dynamic. No one
knows how much 1t may create and
utilize in given mental activity. Nor
does any one know much about delayed
activities.
The same idea that leads boy to
steal an apple may, under slightly
different circumstances. generate the
ambition to rob bank A slight insult
to youth may develop lasting ami
mostly. leading in time to serious tort.
An unsatisfied emotion may be the orr
gin of an illness which may not show
up for two or three decades And men,
cries of every sort seem to harbor
themselves in the deeper regions of the
soul, there to reinforce or block all
sorts Of honest attempts to adjust ones
self to his surroundings.

was right about her coachman-the
vicar had finished early and the coach
man had not yet arrived. The vicar
had robbed his penitents Of at least
20 minutes of his beloved eloQuence by
his unseemly haste.
While the baroness waited in one Of
the aisles, she met the vicar, who was
hurriedly departing. He was glancing
nervously at his watch. He had

SPRINCTIME
By d. C. rEATTIE.

More than once my friends have rail-
| lied me for telling Of crocuses in these
columns on day when newsboys de-
| liver the paper through a snowstorm.
And naturally the question is then
raised-When does Spring begin?
Since there must be some starting
point, choose to mark the turn of the
year at the day and hour when the
first wild flower blooms. Some of our
garden Spring flowers come from the
Mediterranean world, like snowdrops
and crocuses, and, from force of habit.
perhaps, are not incapable of blooming
before Winter is over. But the first
| alder or hazel catkin and the first red
or silver maple bud to burst are Spring
to me, no matter II 1t snow. The in
evitable march of Towering has begun,
and not February, with all its chilly
angers, can retard 1t.
Upon the birds do not think one can
| rely at all. The first robin that you see
has probably been here all along for
Washington has a long list of birds that
brave the Winters through. Grackles,
the various sparroWs, bluebirds and car
| dinal birds are in the same case, and
their first fine burst of vocal enthusiasm
! does not make it Spring, in my judg-
ment.
| There Is. besides the mort exact
measurement Of the first vernal bloom
ing, wagner something that Is. never
| theless, quite real-a strange malaiSe, an
old nostalgia, time when Winter
clothes seem dun and heavy, when VIM
ter books and fires can charm no
longer. when all the confined, half
vicarious life we live in the frosty
months gives way to the joy Of life.
When ground grows soft, when brooks
run warm, when child walks languidly
to school, when city streets are full OF
an old unrest, and country music comes
| down the wind. what can one say ex-
cept that Spring has arrived?
