Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Excitement.

GAClCSmcuts
THERE is a widespread notion that
excitement should be avoided
But the facts about excitement are
somewhat as follows: The person who
is non-excitable IL only partly alive
In other words, person Is alive t1
his surroundings II those surroundings
arouse his interest and imagination
Life Is o constant flow Of ups and
downs on the emotional scale. Life
becomes unbearable II there is nc
fluctuation. This very fact creates the
stage and the screen, explains Q lot
Of the usages Of the automobile, keeps
horses on the race tracks.
While anything may be carried to
extremes, 1t is no mistake to say that
excitement tends to keep one young
and to promote health. Given your
choice Of peaceful life without ex-
element, or one with some troubles
and worries and excitement, you
should not hesitate, in the interest
of health and general happiness, to
choose the latter. As an old proverb
says, Nothing Is harder to bear than
a succession Of happy days"
Excitement Is the soul of that occu-
patton called living. What we call the
beautiful Is nothing other than q
change in colors, proportions and
achievements. What we call ugly is
beauty without change. The focal
point Of life Is change. Any sort of
change is stimulus. Any sort Of
response is an adjustment. Excite.
ment is the time-keeper Of life.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
THE original muckraker turned ur

THE original muckraker turned up
was, nevertheless, worthy individual;
what he did, he did to air his earth.
enrich his soil and make his living.
How different his fgurative coun-
terpart of today who digs into dirt of
his own dumping, snoops into closets
to dust off skeletons conjured by his
own imagination-to blacken reputa-
ton, to villify and destroy.
"Muckrake" was started on its path
Of today's usage by Roosevelt Of an
earlier day.
On April IA, 1906, President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in harangue ring
ing with hammer and cymbal, be-
rated the person who knitted in the
back corporations and people in the
public eye-by insinuating, whisper
ing" and broadcasting via grapevine
or otherwise charges which could not
be substantiated.
Theodore Roosevelt called such q
human 1.-The Man With the Muck
Rake"-an epithet which was meat
and bread for the press, which i'm
mediately took it up, coined the verb
"muckrake" and the noun muck
racker" and passed them into general
circulation to gain widening cur
rency.
One Of the earliest muckrakers in
its original sense, however, was q char
acter in Bunyan's Pilgrims Prog
ress"; so absorbed was he in raking
up muck that he was blind to q celes-
tial crown just over him. Muck" Is
rooted in the Icelandic 'myE."
