SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Risch.

DAs AVuA0 Ae DAS~A
MAJORITY opinion is usually
U1 held to be something which
inherently is right.
On the surface, majority opin-
ion ought to be correct and
minority opinion false.
Many minds in cooperation
ought to be able to reason better
than q few.
AS a matter OF fact, nothing
could be further from the truth!
The all-important factor left
out of account in this considera'
ton is the differences in indi-
vlduallty that makes up either
the majority or the minority.
No two persons are alike in
tellectulaly or emotionally.
There are marked differences
OF intelligence between human
beings!
These differences start at birth
through hereditary influences, and
education in each particular case.
II a majority opinion should be
formulated by persons whose In
tellectual endowments are below
those comprising the minority
group. it follows logically that the
minority is much more apt to be
right and the majority wrong.
Then, again, a large group IL
unwieldy.
1t is much more difficult to OBJ
tain a representative consensus
Of opinion from a hundred per-
sons than 1t is from a dozen.
And when it comes to trying to
find the true feeling Of a few
thousands, or a million, the task
is well-nigh impossible.
Still another factor must be
taken into account.
When many persons debate an
issue, they tend to lose their own
personal convictions. These be-
come weakened.
In their place there arises a
group individuality characterized
by traits and opinions that are un-
like those of any single member
Of the group, but which are a sort
Of composite Of all the traits, opin-
ions and convictions of all the
members OF the group put to-
gether.
Because of this it may happen
that a large group gets together
to debate on a certain issue, to
take up certain very definite fac.
tors. But the result at the end Of
, the conference are resolutions that
only barely touch--or not at all
upon the arguments that first con-
vened the groups.
And one other matter should bo
considered in relation to group psy-
chology.
II any member, or a small num-
of members, of large group has
a dominating, forceful personality,
he will sway the rest and influ.
ence them to such a degree that
his own opinions will prevail at the
expense of the others.
In such q case what started out
to be a majority opinion ends up
by being a minority or individual
rule.
All these principles enter into all
forms of democratic government,
and it behooves every thinking
citizen to study them.
