HOLLYWOOD, Calf, January H.

This is from one Of the poets who

These two cases are typical of two

and plea. So central is this symptom
of nerve weakness that it has given the
name to one great division of sufferers
from nerves; for neurasthenia is only a
Greek way. of saying nerve-weakness.
Nervous exhaustion and nervous pros
tration are other names for this dew
astating incapacity to live fully and
rightly. The word "neurasthenia" was
suggested two generations ago by Dr.
Beard, an American physician; and it
was referred to as "Americanitis," as a
characteristic malady of a strenuous

higher pitch the tense rush of life.
Reducing the many aspects and symp-
toms of the neurasthenic condition to
the least number, they would read: %
Excessive mental and motor fatigability;
~ excessive sensibility to aches, mis-
cry, emotions: 49, an overattention to
bodily symptoms and depression; %
fears and anxieties. The picture shifts
as one or the other dominates, but the
features are the same; for all this is
how a depleted nervous system reacts.

Everyday Psychology
School Psychology,

Once the school teachers assumed
that one sort OF training was better Tor
the mind than another. For example,
mathematics was supposed to be more
cultlvating in all questions Of training
the pupil to think, than say history or
geography. This was in the days OF
formal discipline" an educational
shibboleth which many teachers still
emphasize.
Little by little formal discipline" has
been discarded. The teachers began
to say that one subject was just as I'M
portant as another for all mind-traln-
ing purposes. The curriculum was
broadened and the pupil was allowed
to choose any subject he liked" The
idea that one must like" subject got
under way and now holds first place.
The parents who send Johnnie and
Sue to school would like to know some
thing about the truth OF these two edu-
cational points of view. Human beings
are costly things with which to expert
ment. Parents dislike to make mistakes
about the education of their children.
There is really nothing to worry
about. can find very little real differ
ence in the products of school training
as result of differences in educational
philosophy.
Look at the successful men and
women in the world who were called
dull" in their school days. And what
has become Of the brighter" boys and
girls? What their teachers thought
about their school minds was so often
erroneous that one Is convinced that
teachers quarrel over accidentals rather
than over fundamentals. Mind stun
runs deeper than subject matter stun.
This real mind stuff seems to be unin-
fiuenced by such passing external
things az school subjects.
The pedagogical PHILOSOPHERS are
equally important and unimportant.
The average pupil, II allowed to choose
what he likes" viii choose nothing. No
subject in school possesses any carry
over" advantages In mind training. In
telligence is neither made nor unmade
IN schools.

How to Play Contract Bridge
BY MRS. FORTESCUE.

What must I have to raise my
partners bid of one heart or one
spade?" This is a question I have
asked me more frequently than any
other. And the answer is definite.
More than he expects to hold" You.
as partner of the original bidder, have
right to hold your share of high
cards-one ace, one king and one
queen--and your share of trump
cards--three. In other words, you
should hold an average hand, top cards
to the value Of one and quarter
quick tricks tan ace being worth one
quick trick, king half and a queen
one-quarter) and normal trump ex-
pectancy, that is, three cards Of the
trump suit. IF you hold better than
this strength. you have a raise for your
partners bid. Holding quick tricks,
you will raise your partners bid. For
each additional one-half quick trick
you have one additional raise.
In the declaring hand the only
values are high cards and length III
trumps In the dummy hand, however,
there are quick trick equivalents.
Lacking one suit is of no value in the
declaring hand. In the dummy hand
lacking cards of one suit enables that
dummy hand to trump the first round
missing suit 10 the equivalent OF an ace.
Holding a singleton In q suit means
the dummy hand can trump the second
round of the suit, therefore singleton
is the equivalent of q king. Four or
more trunlps In the dummy hand is
greater length than normal expectancy.
therefore four or more trumpS In
dummy are equivalent to one-half quick
trick. The queen of trumps in the
dummy hand LIS also worth one-half
quick trick.
Let me repeat once more-in the
declaring hand there are no quick trick
equivalents. There the only values are
quick tricks-that is, aces, kings and
honor combinations-and length in
trumps. In the assisting or dummy
hand there are quick trick equivalents.
These are:
Four or more trumps. y quick trick
Queen of trumps guarded, p quick trick
Missing suit .............1 quick trick
Singleton ...............l2 quick trick
To raise any bid of one, whether it
be a major, a minor or a no-tfump
QeclaTatiOn, requires TWO quick tricks or
the equivalents of two quick tricks.
The greatest losses at Contract Bridge,
and In Contract the losses are great.
for the penalties are so much more
than in Auction, arise from the weak
raises given to original bids. Stop and
ask yourself the question --- Does my
hand contain greater strength than
average?" If the answer Is mo" your
bid is pass" If the answer lis Eyes,"
then raise your partners major suit
bid once for the first two quick tricks
and once more for each additional one
half quick trick.
In each of the following hands, part
ner having bid "one spade" the sup
porting hand should bid "two spades:
