PSYCHOANALYSIS
STRESSED Ate. U.
Prof Dom Moore Says
Movement Is of Inter-
national Important

Washington, d. c., February 10
- "Phychoanalysis is a movement
of international importance" Dom
Thomas Werner Moore, O.S.B., M.
D., Ph.D., professor and head of
the department of psychology 'at
the Catholic University of America,
at Washington, d. c., told a dis
unguished audience in the nations
capital at the beginning of his an
nual series of lectures on psychol-
ogy, art and literature.
In his first lecture he touched
on the high points in the history of
psychology pointing out that in the
machean Ethics of Aristotle psy-
chology first existed as practical
science, making a genuine contri-
button to what we now term men
tai hygiene. Unfortunately later
psychology and particularly the
early modern experimental psy-
chology became so haughtily scien-
tific that it disdained to attack the
vital problems of life or to attempt
anything of practical value.
The psychologists of the Goth
century, the distinguished priest
psychologist pointed out, have had
to be stimulated by outside influ-
ences to undertake the study of
practical problems. Experimental
educational psychology grew out
of an attempt to measure spelling
ability. Binet was requested to
pick out the feebleminded chill
dren in the schools of Paris and
had to invent new and unheard- of

Commissioner William H. Hackett.
payments to all branches of the
government totaled $115, 996,917
during a twelve-month period end
ed in 1888, as compared with
$123,292,846 for the corresponding
period in 1892, his statement re-
vealed. This decline of'about 6 per
cent in revenues was at a much
lesser rate than for the previous
year when the 1881 revenue totaled
$147,O77,251, or $23,784,405 greater
than in 1882. The decrease that
year was 1917 per cent. For the
five years prior to 1881, total Con-
necticut tax receipts from all
sources were as follows:
1880, $151,951,725; 1929.

921; 1927, $122,329,492; 1926,
$116,985,243.
Commissioner Hackett's compila-
ton points out that the largest por-
ton of the decrease last year was
in the revenues of the state govern
ment itself, which fell from $780,
425,7O1, as of June 80, 1882, to $25,
79S,910, as of June 80, 1893. Anal
ysis of these figures showed further
that, while the regular taxes of the
state government produced $751;
364,622 in the 1893 period, as COM
pared with $21, 649,7O4 in 1882, mo-
tor vehicle registration fees were
$7,434,28S in 1888, only a compar-
atively slight drop from the 1882
total of $7,775,997. The following
