Everyday Psychology
How People Differ.
sY DIR. JESSE ". srRowLs.

There was day in the history of
science OF psychology when psycholo-
gistS concentrated their efforts ON try
ing to determine the similarities among
human beings. This valiant search
for similaritieS conferred around the So
called instinct theory.
Nowadays the study Of human nature
has taken turn III another direction.
Psychologists are now delGing into in
diVidual differences. Whereas, the pSy-
biologists OF the past generation were
seeking the nature of mental processes
as such, their successors are now study
ing entire human beings as such. This
difference in points Of approach makes
big difference in their respective And
ings.
The question before the psychologists
today is this: In what respects do in
dividuals differ2 Perhaps the most i'm
portant mark Of distinction among in
dividHals is the individuality of their
opinions. The variance in opinion in
respect to even commonplace matters
is often unbelievable.
The second big way in which IN
dividualS differ is to be found on the
Fairgrounds. You have said much
about a given individual when you have
named his hobbies.

TT ISN'T at all surprising that since time immemorial, poets

note to the character and mental makeup of a person. The eyes

possessor to be all that glance implies. And the tender CLEAN Of
the eye is the surest indication of love. Unless the eye holds
tenderness within its lambert depths, al the words Of love mean
not a thing. IL IL the surest indication Of love, that tender, smiling
glance with which Beauty tells her Beloved that her heart i his
