second night in his new suburban home.

though he mad not been a man much
given to natural studies.
1t is always that way. 1t is unusual,
and amazing, even. to find squirrels on
your front door step, and robins nesting
in a shrub close by the front window.
These things happen in the city, but
not so often.
Deep city living shuts Nature out, in
its animal mood, at least.
It is not until one reaches the suburbs,
in most cases, that these engaging small
creatures begin to obtrude themselves
upon one.
City residents go to the Zoo, when they
want to see such animals at first hand.

yard, side yard and front yard.
II he is enough interested to make
friends with them as they come. the
creatures respond pleasantly enough.
Unless one is slightly deaf, the shock
OF suburban living at first Is rather
severe.
The morning chorus of the BIRDS at
its peak now, comes as veritable clamor
to the unframed ear.
The mind, too, must receive some
training to understand and appreciate
and welcome noises and cries for many
years absent from the personal life.
The man who protests the Growing OF
a rooster, or the croaking OF frog, the
high shrill note of the spring peeper. or
the bleat of a billygoat, all natural
sounds, Is missing something which he
might as we'll have.
He must learn to enjoy these sounds,
then he will find a whole new world
opening both to his ears and his eyes;
enjoyment of these things Is fundamental
to happy life in the suburbs.
Our friend who has just moved will
begin to notice the wild rabbits soon.
and then hitherto despised animal will
be seen to be just another small thing
trying to get along In the world.
Are not we all? Isn't the rabbit a
brother in fur? And may we not say
this as fact. utterly without sentiment
or sentimentality?
The suburban resident finds that he
may. These animals and birds, to the
former city dweller, are found to be
highly interesting, in their own right
That they add touch Of novelty is
something for which they are not ac-
countable.
The former city dweller is responsible
for that, himself.
He had closed the door Of life so Ions
that he had forgotten that the wild rab-
bits and the squirrels-no one would
think of speaking of them as wild
know nothing about boundary lines.

If one puts himself into the shoes,
shall we say. of a rabbit or a squirrel,
one is able to see very easily that the
suburbs is just land.
The rabbit which lives of ones Pc
tunias. the squirrel which is going
around burying nuts against the winter,
each creature is doing what Nature Or
dained for 1t to do.
There is no cause for anger, here, or
anything but honest interest.

Yet there is no end for such a career.

Nearly everybody agrees these days
that the world is "nuts"-even crazier
than most Of the folks in 1t.
There has just been established in
Washington new foundation sponsored
by some of the country's foremost
psychiatrists to hnd out what has gone
wrong with the mind Of society and
what, if anything, can be done about 1t.
The foundation has been set up as a
memorial to the late DR.. William A.
White, long superintendent Of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, the Federal Govern
ment's institution for the insane, who
was one of the worlds chief exponents
Of psychiatric philosophy during his
lifetime.
These psychiatrists sees queer sort OF
parallelism between what is wrong with
the worlds brains and the weird mental
disease of young men and women,
schizophrenia, whose victims now I'LL
more than 25o,000 hospital beds in the
United States. The term means split
personality" About Is years ago. the
psychiatrists believe, according to
prospectus in the first number OF their
Journal, Psychiatry, issued today, the
collective mind of civilized society, itself
in the adolescent stage Of development,
began to split"
For carrying out the study the
foundation has an anthropolog1st fam1l-
lar with the development of primitive So
cieties, a political scientist, an ethnol-
ogist and psychoanalyst, who will delve
into the subconscious motives Of racial
and cultural groups. Work will be car
ried on largely through graduate stu
dents. It is hoped to lay the founda-
tions for a new science Of social rela-
tions in which there will be at least
understanding of the queer ways IN
which pent-up hates of nations and
classes find vent in the suicide Of war.
blood purges, destruction Of racial
groups and open war between govern
ment and business.
The purposes are outlined as follows
in the prospectus Of the foundation in
the journal:
Every established order throughout
the world is constantly threatened by
collective discontentS which may dis
charge in hostile political action. At
any given time the stresses Of the COM
munity are potently attracted by GER
tain symbols of protest against things
as they are. In our epoch it is the SYM
bols of Communism and Fascism which
bid most successfully for the support Of
disaffected elements. The psychiatric
approach to politics assumes that the
accumulation of discomfort is q perma-
nent problem of society, and that no
mass movement Of any kind is likely
to eventuate in the creation Of admins
trative institutions immune to criticisms
arising from stresses generated within
and between human personalities.
THE task of political psychiatry is to
probe for the enduring sources Of dis
harmony in human adaptation, and to
devise expedients for dissipating the dis
content at the least human cost. In
tensive personality study exposes the
more subtle, profound and long-r
accumulations Of stress within person.

every form of human industry and
activity, that wants the minority de-
prived of all safeguards against the
tyranny of the majority, that wants the
States stripped of their power and bu-
reaucracy substituted for the Bill of
Rights. The danger does not lie in
popular indifference to the third term
tradition, but in popular indifference to
the fundamental principles of liberty
upon which the Republic was estab-
lished"
These, certainly, are burning phrases.
They are quoted from an editorial
written by Frank I. Cobb for the New
York World, January 2, 1912, and refer
to Theodore Roosevelt.

There have been, of course, times
when juries have disagreed with the pro-
fessional witnesses. Upon occasions the
supposed "lunatic" will present such a
good appearance and answer questions

Gus of all lunaticS are, to all outward
appearances, intelligent and rational If
one does not happen to hit upon the par
ticular subjects of their delusions.
Under bill which passed the Senate
about two weeks ago and which is ex-
pected to be brought up in the House
this week all this antiquated procedure
of jury trial for all lunatics would be
replaced by examination behind closed
doors before a commission of experts.
The only possible objection might be
that the power to Judge person insane
and to order incarceration is a very
great one to be given to any small group
Of individuals. This is provided for in
the bill. The defendant" can demand
a jury trial and get 1t. The chances are
there will be very few such demands.
The lunatic can no longer be consid-
cred as a pseudo-criminal. He is sick

ing him into open court to answer for his
crime than for forcing a victim Of
smallpox into the same unpleasant sit
