Everyday Psychology
How Old Is Psychologist
Bx DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Somewhere In the archives Of litera.
ture one finds a story Of the develop
ment of each of the sciences. The
story in any case is called the history
of the science.
Taking histories in general. there are
two kinds-"lies agreed to" or stories
of disagreements." In the case of
psychology, it's one grand story of dis
agreements.
In the first place no one knows Just
when psychology began. The very
name psychology, "the science Of the
SOUL" suggests something hoary with
age.
The first real treatise on the sub
iect seems to have been written by one
Aristotle (364-S22 B. c.. Its title was
de Anima" Concerning the souD.
But the honor that goes to Aristotle
Is only the first tangible evidence that
lation. There must have been q huge
unwritten history, centuries old, when
Aristotle came into the picture.
A hundred centuries hence the his
tory mongers will scan past perform
ances and argue that Wilhelm Wundt
Q832-1920) was the founder Of the
science of psychology. At any rate
Wundt was the first man to set up
real laboratory for the testing of theo-
res ABOUT human nature. Ii was JI1eL1
and not until then that psychology
lost its SOUL and found something
more tangible to speculate about.
Wundt proved that the soul had to
have a body. Hence he taught that
psychology was the science Of con-
seriousness. He handed the soul idea
over to the theologians, where it now
rests in undisturbed SlumberS, so far
as psychology as a science Is concerned.
But the story Of progress doesn't end
with Wundt. Only q few years ago
(about 1912 John B. Watson succeed
ed In proving that no one could define
consciousness. Since it couldn't be de-
fined, he argued that it had no place
in science. The only thing he could
find was behavior" And so today
psychology again scorns its past and
takes on a new and different thought
systematizer.

It is difficult to understand the queer
twist that impels some folks to write
anonymous letters. Most men engaged
in public work are the recipients of
such misSives, which, while not partic-
ularly offensive, usually convey a sting.
In some cases the letters are SIAN
derouS and are sent to innocent per-
sons for the purpose of arousing
suspicion. In this respect they may
prove to be laden with danger. When
directed to the principal" himself,
they usually extract a chuckle and find
a place in the waste basket.

So many fern stands have been de-

OF us have felt there was not q new
kind to be had.
But a glance at the illustration will
tell you that some one has gone right
ahead and done what we thought was
impossible - designed something very
different and new in the way of fern
stand, and 1t Is called wall tree.
This stand is made Of iron and Ats
closely against the wall, the half tub
shaped base making this possible.
BY imagining that you have removed
the six little pots of flowers, you will
see that there is an iron tree of grace
full proportions left. On each branch is
a holder for one of these pots, and the
beauty of these is that the design and
color of each pot is different Can't you
see how much more interesting this
would be than to have the monotonous
effect of all green, yellow, blue or red

being in various colors, with conven-
tional designs in contrasting shades.
