Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROUTS.
Filling in Time.

MOST psychologists hold that moth
A'A ing is really forgotten; that the
stock of past experiences is perma-
nently registered in the cells OF the
brain. Just how the registration taxes
place is something of mystery. What
we call forgetting is merely a name
for an inability to recall voluntarily
this or that item of the past. Many OF
the experiences we think are forgot
ten come back at most unexpected
times and in most unexpected con-
nections. They often appear a little
puzzling until We get them placed"
This fact is taken as proof OF the
unforgetability of every experience.
Let us assume that the theory Is
good, that it states the facts about
forgetting. What does it mean for
everyday psychology?
It is argued that since nothing IS
ever forgotten, all new experiences
merge with the unforgotten expert
ences. This merging makes all new
experiences seem like so much more
of the old. Unless something very
much out Of the ordinary happens.
life seems to race along on monoton-
GUS plane. Therefore, as we look back,
the years seem to have passed rapidly.
And then what? Men and women
should never retire from their voca-
tions or calhngs. Work is the one
thing that fills the void created by
the absence Of thrills and excitement.
There seems to be place for adult
education in our science of living. Per-
haps We need a new course of study
about every five year. We need some
way of escape from the commonplace;
we need to discover something new.
