Abstract

Curiosity is doubtless the most valuable asset of the mental make-up of man. In recent years the natural int­erest of human beings in "hoe it works" has turned within to the investigation of themselves, and how and why they behave like humans. "Psychology" has become a word to conjure with. Witness the space it and allied subjects occupy on Chautauqua programs, in newspapers, and in magazines. Books attempting to explain our everyday actions and our exceptional ones have become "best sellers" "Complexes," "inhibitions," "react­ions," "stimuli," and a host of other technical terms are familiarly heard in drawing-rooms and even on street cars. Man, curious about himself, has striven to become better acquainted with himself, paradoxically by asking others.
