of his pupils, the parent who fails to understand

short, to be ''all there"
Speaking on this subject in recent lecture
at New York's New School for Social Research,
Charlotte Solver said: 1--WE often discover that
we are not fully aware, unable fully to experience
-. because we are still in the past already in
the future, while we act in the present"
Yet it is not only the preoccupation with the
past and future but modern mans inability to
generate enough light from within and to direct
this light toward one single object, which makes
him SO Intellectual in his personal and even his
public life. The present itself with its countless
demands and impressions threatens to disinte-
crate mans personality. While we may not be

need not aggravate them by subjecting ourselves
unnecessarily to influences apt to split our person.
ality even further.
Let us take just one example, the now widely
accepted custom of background music. True,
such music has its place in taking a patients
mind off his pain or in making chores of intoler.
able monotony bearable. Moreover, there are
forms of light music, such as cocktail or dinner
music, intended to enhance pleasures. But wher-
ever at all feasible, we should for the sake of
preserving our sanity, learn to give all situations
in life our full and undivided attention.
Why Johnny can't listen
The man who needs background music to
keep his skilled employees contented shows that
he lacks the essential leadership qualities neces
sary to inspire in them enthusiasm for and inter.
est in the job on hand. Even more critical is the
habit of children to study with their radio or
phonograph playing. They may never learn to
focus their full attention on anything at all, to
develop the power of concentration and the inval-
liable gift of strong will
To repeat: The mental emotional and creative
abilities of a man may become seriously crippled
Iten his mind is hGbitHGlly dIUded between UOTk
and diversion. While he may become even more
efficient in the routine tasks of turning out mass
products, his ability to create and to deal effec-
lively with new and unusual problems is bound
to suffer.
The misuse Of music is just one example Of
our pathetic lack of understanding of the healing
power of art. For a work of art, given full and
undivided attention, repays its admirer by inte-
grating his personality and lifting it to healthier
state of consciousness. While ordinary diversions
tend to disperse mans thoughts and feelings into
countless channels, devoted attention to art
restores the wellsprings of his psychological and
physical existence. Why? Because great art is
akin to the creative principle ITSELF 1t constantly
builds meaningful whole from variety Of
sounds, colors, and forms.

Il HE PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF modern
man are so manifold that it is difficult to find in
them a common cause. And still, to one whose
profession has caused him to observe the sorrows
of many over many years. one important factor
seems to emerge which, though by no means the
cause of all evil, presents clue to much of the
heartbreak of our age. For example, there are -
