BY Elsie Robinson.

I don't suppose I've met
half a dozen humans in my
whole life who didn't mourn
their 'lost Illusions" and who
didn't hold a grudge against
society for making them lose
them.
And what were these precious
illusions, the loss of which so
marred their careers? On
analysis. they invariably proved
to be a lot of sugar-candy,
adolescent notions about life
and people. Hi-falutin', senti-
mental nonsense, for the most
part-Suitable only for high
school sophomore and utterly
unrelated to reality.
Now, Of course, there's moth

natural and desirable at that
age to believe that all women
are saints and all men heroes,
and society a cooperative asso-

holding on to them, you gum
up the works for yourself and
every one else.
But this doesn't mean that
life shall, hereafter, hold no
illusions. It merely means that
you should exchange a child's
set of theories for a mature
set -. that you should grow
up, mentally and emotionally.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Louis E. Bisch-


If you will analyze your own
motives carefully and without
reserve you will probably be
surprised to discover how much
you behave in an artificial and
stilted way, how much you do
what seems to be expected Of
you and even how much you
think along lines that are really
not your own, but rather the
thoughts of the majority.
The fact is that it is very
easy to follow the lead of others
rather than take the initiative
ourselves.
It would seem, indeed, that it
would be more troublesome to
pretend and to acka part than
to behave naturally, in accord
ance with our real, deeper
natures. Being yourSelf-be-
cause it is not artificial, ought
to be easier than pretending to
be somebody else.
The reason we set up artt'
ficiaL standards of conduct for
ourselves is because we fall
into the habit of being follow
ers, of depending for opinion
upon what others think, of imi-
tating slavishlN what others do.
Living our own lives in ac.
cordance with our own indi-
vidual tastes and inclinations
does not appeal if it is at vari-
ance with what the majority
does. It is so much easier to
follow the lines of least resist
ance and lineup with the crowd.
Of course, there is a reason
for this. An instinct is to
blame-an instinct that goes
back for it's origin to the herd
ing of civilization.
Then it was that the prop.
erty rights of various tribes and
clans consisted of domestic ami
mails, herded together and pro-
tected for purposes Of safety.
And just as the animals could
better be cared for in herds,
so the people themselves found
they could best take care OF
themselves when living In
groups.

Famous Scientific Authority

The great handicaps of edu-
cation are expense and restric-
ton. Education, for all it's ef-
forts, can affect only a mod.
crate percentage of the popula.
tion. The higher the forms of
education, the fewer the recip-
tents of its benefits.
Our higher institutions are al
ready beginning to reach, or
IN some cases have actually
reached the saturation point.
The expense of buildings, dormi-
tories, laboratories. dining halls,
clubs is colossal; and growing
by leaps and bounds. A dormi-
tory to house 100 students costs
100000. A library building
costs one to ten million dollars.
The price of the contents of a
library cannot be computed in
dollars and cents
The people, in vast numbers,
cannot go to the universities.
There are not nearly enough
colleges and universities to go

pie were to stage. overnight, an
educational revolution, and de-

would supply not more than a
few per cent: not even as high
as ten per cent Of the requisite
facilities.
The vast problems of mass

scientists and of capitalists,
not in the hands of educators.
