"Isn1s and Ologies. !"

I. am a regular reader of your articles
and thank you for your statement OF BE.
AZ an early date Give an equsy sTcenct
exposition of PSYCHOLOGY" as today accept
ed by the lists?
Reply.
This letter, written by man who
has thought clearly, also says that what
we are all interested in is truth, and
we shouldn't permit any system, any
ism" like "behaviorism" nor any
"ology" like Freudian psychology or
Freudology, to which we incline, to color
our views of the facts as they are.
That's rather a complicated matter
to discuss in simple fashion. But II we
will all put on our thinking caps for a
moment we many get the gist OF it;
and then we can take them of and
play with our minds as we like. It's quite
true that any science" is one body OF
truth without "isms" or "ologies." Per-
haps all true religion is one also;
Buddhism and Mohammedism and
Catholicism and Professionalism are d1f-
ferent foundations of the form and
content of religious systems.
That isn't the case with chemistry
or physics; it doesn't divide into "1snls. u
But psychology Is not so rigid and pre-
else science as physics or chemistry
and so makes possible different ways OF
formulating the facts of the mental life;
and If you must have them, such sys-
TENS become "isms." Yet not In the
same sense as the religious 'isms."
Psychology Is one, and would be bet
ter off without 'isms"; but If one set
of psychologists sees the range Of facts
in one way, If they select from the
range what seems to them important
of the whole; and another selects and
interprets differently, there is some pur-
pose served in giving a name to such
selections and the resulting interpre-
tation. That's all that an ism" means.
When dealing with so complicated
an array Of data as those of the mental
life facts imply an Interpretation; you
cannot help 1t. When we dig up an
ancient statue with arms or legs OF
head gone we call it torso. But we
can't help adding in imagination the
missing parts and making complete
figure of it. Our knowledge of the
mental life is torso; and one set OF
psychologists favors one restoration ano
another another. And each generation
finding a different torso makes q diff
ferent restoration and calls the whole
their ism" or system of psychology.
Today we know so much more
psychology, both as fact and as inter-
probation, that we should be able tc
do a better bit of restoration, one
which most of us should be able tc
accept as the real figure of the human
mind. So long as human interests
differ, however, the relations between
the facts-the torso and the restora-
tion-the Interpretation of "ism"-
will be shaped accordingly. Agreement
will be partial only. Heredity and en-
vironment offer a good illustration: the
facts are fairly well admitted. But or
them each psychologist builds his in
terpretation, makes his restoration Of
the truth.
All this makes pretty tough bit oil
thinking. But it Is so because nature

Liking Your Job.

It's a refreshing thing to meet the
man who likes his daily chore, who
makes no moan Of frigid feet who does
not think his JOB bore. At times we
meet this sprightly man, and it is
always safe to guess that he will join
the caravan of those who make big
success. He goes to work with buoyant
step. as though he thinks his labor fun,
he shows all kinds of vim and pep, he's
sorry when the work days done. The
boss looks down upon his men. on
those who spring. on those who crawl,
and with his costly fountain pen hes
keeping tab upon them all. He deity
puts the hoodoo sign against the names
of those who shirk, and credits those
who toe the line and seem to revel In
their work We find some fellows
blocking hats, and they deteSt their
dreary task; they would be happy
skinning cats, or putting sauerkraut in
a cask. We see some toilers on the
beach, collecting driftwood for their
fire; they hate that work-they'd like
to preach, or sing contralto in a choir
We see some neighbors mending shoes
which occupation Jars and stings;
they'd hire q hall and air their views
on all the vital, living things. We see
some parties shoeing mules, they groan
with every nail they drive, they feel
they should be teaching schools and
keeping learning's light alive. And
none of them will cut much ice while
through this busy world they wend and
few of them will have the price to pay

Everyday Psychology

0bsessions.


Obsessions are dominating ideas, usu-
ally morbid in character. They tend
to stay with you, despite all attempts
to Danish them from your thoughts,
and since they are dominant among
your thoughts, they dominate your be-
havior. Obsessions tend at times to
become fixed in the unconscious, there
by giving rise to unconscious activities
for which the actor himself cannot
account.
There are two general classes OF
bsessions-obsessive fears and obsessive
course, in degree from mild annoyance
the torture stage and stay fixed. the
individual is headed toward an insti-
tuition for the mentally sick. But
since the line between mental health
and mental sickness cannot be drawn
strictly. the possession of an obsession
is not necessarily an indication of in
sanity. The fact is that obsessions are
very common. You might go SO far
as to say that everybody has some OBJ
session, mild or severe, temporary OF
fixed.
The obSessive fears are known among
psychologists as phobias, One may have
a phobia for almost any obiect-teeth
eyes, hair, blood. dirt, germs OF all
kinds, darkness, fire, cats, open places
closed places, etc.
OF those mentioned the fear of dirt
or mysophobia is one of the most COM
mon. The possessor suspects contain
ination, If not infection, from every
thing he touches, dislikes to shake
hands with people, to use a tool some

one else has handled, or even to send
his clothes to the same laundry as
that of a neighbor he estimates none
too highly for cleanliness.
The phobia for inclosed places, or
claustrophobia, causes some people to
have fainting spells in theaters, lecture
halls. etc. A blood phobia may cause
a person to become strict vegetarian
Those who have the fire phobia soon
let it be known when they go travel
ing They seek only fire-proof hotels
and refuse to take a room above the
second floor.
The obseSsive doubts are more COM
mon A good example is the tendency
of most women to wonder if they turn
ed the gas out in the range before
they left for the matinee, whether they
locked the door when they left, etc.

however, that skirts have taken on an
inch or so for all occasions and many
inches for many occasions, and now
that the flare below the hips has be-
come a definite part of the afternoon
silhouette, wider brims will undoubtedly
come back into fashion
Fashion follows no definite rules Of
proportion and designers, it would seem,
frequently ignore the principles of de-
sign that have weight with other artists.
Still if you turn back the pages of
costume history you will see that the
width Of hat brims has direct bear
ing on the length and width of skirts.
An English correspondent after q
visit to the nilliners in Paris recently
wrote Of the Summer collection she
had seen: "One model is a variation of
the American sailors cap, which looks
like being in vast favor this season in
Paris" So the fashion for the gob's
hat that was sponsored at Palm Beach
last Winter goes on its successful way.
Often it is quite possible to go through
the Summer wearing the hats we have
worn in the Spring, but this season
most women, think will find it neces-
sary to restock their hat boxes with
hats specially bought for Summer.
Even the lightest of the close little ear
covering hats that most women chose
for early Spring are burdensome on a
really warm Spring day. And though
they cover our ears and neck they
give absolutely no shade for the eyes,
Recently there has been a demand in
almost every millinery store for hats
that are not so closely fitted over the
eGEH and that shade the eyes little.

Ny Neighbor Says:

To remove the pulp from
oranges pare the oranges with a
sharp knife, removing every par
ticle Of the thin inside membrane
with the peel. Hold the orange
over a plate so that the juice that
drops may be saved. Insert the
point of the knife at the stem
end, close to the membrane that
divides the sections. Then care
fully separate the section of
orange from the membrane on Its
other side; remove the whole
orange section, complete in shape,
and entirely free from mem
brane. Repeat until all of the
sections are removed.
Have a wire guard put over the
lower part of your screen door to
protect 1t. The greatest wear
comes on the lower screening Of
the door.
It Is wise plan to use q sharp
knife rather than scissors when
cutting flowers, because scissors
have a tendency to squeeze the
stems so that they take up less
water than they should.

Rhubarb in Marmalades.

In the making of marmalades and
conserves 1hubarb plays an important
part. Orange and rhubarb marmalade
is good made in the proportion Of four
pounds of peeled and diced rhubarb to
six medium sized oranges. The process
is the same as If no rhubarb were used,
the cut orange rind being added and
one whole grapefruit and rind also. If
desired. A rhubarb conserve is in the
proportion of four pounds of rhubarb to
one pound of seeded raisins, one orange.
one small grapefruit and half a pound
of mixed blanched almonds and English
walnuts coarsely chopped. Sugar. as
usual, is measured pound for pound in
making the marmalades.
