Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Psychological Foundations.

If you try to put psychological facts
into classes, you may be able better to
understand them. A general view of
the vast field of mind or mental &C
tivity seems to present six fairly sep
arate classes of mental activities. In
one way or another, they embrace the
whole of the science of psychology
These six things are sensation, memory
recollection, movement, anticipation
and consciousness.
Sensation is the experience you have
when some one of your many sense or
ganS have been stimulated. For exam
pie, waves of light stimulating the deli
| cate nerves OF the eye produce the SEN
sationS of sight or vision.
Memory is the ability of the nervous
system to retain sensations for longer
or shorter period of time.
Recollection is memory in action
the ability to revive your past expert
enceS, which collectively you call men,
DRY or memories.
Movement Is the ability to adjust 9
part or the whole Of your body so as
to make the most of your sensations.
Anticipation Is the ability to look into
the future so far as you interpret the
meaning of past and passing stimula-
tons.
Consciousness is that undef1nable
something which seems to grow out OF
the foregoing five foundations of mental
life. It is the primary fact of mental
life, connecting the past with the fu-
ture, while always existing in the pres
ert moment

Golden Rule Of Hygiene.

Our national trend in hygiene is not
exactly altruistic. Nor is it case Of
doing unto the other fellow as he would
do unto you and doing it first. We de-
mand that the other fellow do unto US
as he would like to have us do unto
him. Mrs. F. w. expresses it we'll.
Dear Mr.. Brady: Night before last
my husband and paid a dollar to see
really excellent show, but we might
better have paid two to stay away. The
man behind us sneezed through the en-
tire performance, with the result that
my husband awoke next morning with a
sore throat, which he evidently had the
resistance to overcome, and am today
in the naStiest stage of a bad cri. Now,
every one knows that cri is highly I'M
pleasant and dangerous, also highly
contagious.
Besides me there were probably so
or so other people who are having q
miserable week because of that one
mans selfishneSs. However much we
might wish that such pests should ex-
plate their offense in the city jail
Changing is perhaps little Severe) we
realize that our only protection against
them is propaganda and hostile pub
lie opinion.
ut would be doing the public a real
service If you would ask through your
influential column by what right 1t

crowded place Of entertainment.
mrs. F. W."
My dear madam, I have been asking
the public that and calling the Offend
ing portion Of public all the names I
could PERSUADE the paper to print, these
many years, and the health officials and
the general medical profession quite
cordially decline to confirm such radi-
cal teaching or practice. Here and
there some health official mildly sug-
gests it is better for you to stay in bed
day or two when you have what pur-
ports to be a "cold'-but he carefully
refrains from implying that you're a
menace to all your associates during
the onset and acute stage Of your
trouble. He pretendS he is sending you
to bed only for your own safety. In
the sets of rules" issued every little
while by public health authorities for
the guidance of persons who believe
they have colds" have never found
definite rule Of isolation from contact
with other persons.
The consensus Of public health au-
thorities at present gives the individual
with an alleged cold" the right to ex-
cept himself from this golden rule OF
| hygiene. Other buffers, of course, are
morally. if not legally, bound to avoid
crowded places and gatherings Of peo-

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.
Inattention.

Inattention.
"He IS a good child, but he doesn't
pay attention to the teacher. That
is the only fault she has to find with
him. If he only would pay attention,
he would get along all right"
Why doesn't he pay attention? That
| is what we have to find out before we
can help the child. When we say he
does not pay attention we are not put
ting our finger on the sore spot
We are looking at a Sumption OF trouble,
not at the trouble itself. Why does
he not pay attention? All healthy,
happy, well graded children pay atten-
ton to their work in class and get
along as well as can be expected.
Test his eyesight and his hearing.
Even though you believe both to be
perfect have them tested by an expert.
Look well to the cleanliness of his
mouth His teeth ought to be clean
and without cavities. Bad teeth make
for Ill health. Test his nutrition. Test
his intelligence. Examine the class
room conditions. Go over all of the
child and all Of his associations in
side school and out.
If a child has defective vision, he
cannot keep up with his class. He
does not see what they see. He loses
interest because he does not know
what is going on about him. When
child loses interest in the classroom
work he cannot pay attention. We
| pay attention only to what interests US:
Defective hsaring is the cause of
many q retarded child's difficulties.
This is not always easy to detect. You
think the child hears. He seems to
hear perfectly. You ask him If he
hears and he says, Eyes" But it may
| be that he Is hard of hearing without
| knowing it. He does not know that
he does not h:ar all that is said Make
! certain of his hearing. Have the ex-
| pert test it.
At the same time look at his nose
and throat and if there is any sign
of diseased tonsil, any adenoid growth,
have them removed. Healthy tonsils
should be left alone. But diseased ones
might better be removed at once. Any
| obstruction in the nose and throat
lowers the child's vitality and cuts
down his supply Of oxygen. He needs
all the fresh air he can get, so this
matter of adenoids and diseased tonsils
is important.
How about his general health? Are
| his health habits established? Does
he sleep well? Rest long enough?
Has he sufficient play? Is his diet
right? How about sex habits? Is he
bathed frequently and is he always clean?
Poor health will cause inattention. If
you do not believe it, just remember
this the next time you have a head
ache and the children want your at
tention conferred upon them. You will
be sure of it then. Good health is
the basis for all progress.
Is he up to grade or is he below
grade? 1t is highly important that
he be graded right. And about the
teacher Is she interested? Does she
care whether the boy recites well or
i'll? How good an audience does she
provide for good classroom work? En-
couragement. public approval, are fuel
to the fire of child's ambition.
Find the cause of the inattention and
do your best to remove it. Healthy
children are always interested and at
tentive-at least sufficiently so to hold
their places in class.

My Neighbor Says:

When unmolding gelatin molds
moisten the dish which is to
hold the mold with cold water.
Unmold onto the dish and If not
in the center the mold can be
quickly pushed into place. The
serving dish must then be wiped
dry.
Never leave soiled dish towels
in your pantry. After each meal
wash them out to dry. Add a
little diluted ammonia to the
water in which you wash them.
Before polishing furniture. that
is very dirty, wiring out a cloth
from very hot water and rub it
over the surface. Wipe dry at
once. Then apply the cream in
the usual way, and a very high
polish will be obtained which viii
not show finger marks.
To prevent a scum from form
ing on cocoa, beat the beverage
with the egg beaten when it is
finished, until foam forms on
top.
When making cake If eggs are
scarce add one-half taspoonful
extra Of baking powder. This
amount of baking powder Is
equivalent to one egg.

pie while so indisposed, but not we; we
ourselves can always find some good
excuse for falling to obey the golden
rule.
A business woman who has strong
convictions about this, kept right on
at the Office when she had a severe cri,
pleading that her absence for a day or
two might seriously disturb her firms
business, and they were so kind to her
that she just couldn't. :. That's the
sort of alibi that makes the outlook for
any general adoption Of this golden rule
OF hygiene seem discouraging.
