Looks as though our old friend,
the inferiority complex, Ia coming
back in style. /" be glad.
I am tired Of the super-duper
boys and girls who consider them
selves superior in any circum-
stance to anybody. It's q good
sign when the psychologists point
out that self-fattery is bad for
man.
Maybe a lot more humility
would be Of value to the Ameri-
can soul It would certainly help
to improve manners. For several
decades public education has
failed to point out TO children
their limitations. They have been
encouraged to think they can do
anything they set their win to. As
a consequence, most of the popu-
lation is dissatisfied with reason
able success.
Everybody has to be q WOW. If
not he thinks his talents are un-
appreciated and that society Is
treating him cruelty. Beginning
with kindergarten every tot is
told by parents and teachers that
he must feel inferior, so Il Is no
wonder we have become a nation
Of malcontents.
People who have not learned to
enjoy the simple pleasures Of ev-
eryday life are bound to be mis-
erable. We suffer from a thousand
inner conflicts because we are In
tent upon shaping our lives, not
according to our own nature, but
according to that Of someone else
that we may admire.
How many thousands Of girls
do we see with their eyes fixed
on Hollywood, who never observe
the wonderful opportunities for
happiness within their daily
reach! How many women become
hypochondriacs trying to keep up
in some way with the neighbors,
The ridiculous doctrine that ev-
cry person is capable Of being q
big shot has produced a country
full of strutting braggarts, who
are filled with discomfort.
II cannot be denied that the
general atmosphere Of this coun.
try grows increasingly discor.
dant. Perhaps this pernicioul
theory is the reason.-Mrs, Wal,
ter Ferguson in letter to Rocky
Mountain News.
