D., In "Human Efficiency," makes psychological study of modern problems applying scientific principles to moral issues. I quote from Mb discourse upon calling forth "will power, a' discourse with large Implica tions: ' "All the ' world U a little queer saye thee and me," said the felicitous Quaker, "and ' sometime even thee Is a little queer.' Again, we hear It said that all men are more or: less Insane. Perhaps this ex plains why so few have seriously under taken to examine all the conditions that makeior' sanity. ) Evfryv specialist is said to be Insane concerning - hia- specialism. . . To . - make sanity , a lsubject of direct study might be to: render a person open to still mor.e serious charges. Sanity at any rate per tains to the whole of life; whereas most of us" are "narrowi ' bne-slded, often wil fully loyal. Is it possible, to be wholly sane yet do our work In the world? It would seem so, if we v can. attain the right adjustment between - the individual and society, be tween the particular and the universal. This Is, sanity, would appear to be largely a question of will; for although to be sane is to be rational, nevertheless the actual adjustment of the will to the forces that play upon the organism is the real test. Therefore it is Important to undertake a more thorough inquiry into the nature of the will. . 1 - A friend. .whose sister wos moderately insane made a tour of Institutions In which, the demented were cared for, and In the hospital which had the largest percentage of cures she was told by the physician in charge that he traced in sanity in many cases to a will that had never been Controlled.' That Is, the con dition dated .to . childhood, to the time when the child should be taught to obey. In order to teach obedience this wise physician deprived his patients of various comforts and articles of food until they should learn to respect not his will but the unwritten laws of the insltutlon. He then proceeded to build on this initial structure of obediences. My friend's sister was of the self-assertive type,; so was my friend, and she knew that this conclusion In regard to the untrained will was perfectly just, how be it there had been a special cause tor her sister's illness. This is Indeed a painful discovery to make late in life. If there were wisdom. Instead of trying to break our wills, or giving us up as too difficult and allowing us to be obe dient, our parents would begin by study ing and mastering the will in themselves, for we "acknowledge that no one can command who has not learned to obey. The-foundation of obedience Is knowl edge that' no one can command who has not learned to obey. The foundation of obedience Is knowl edge and acceptance of natural law. One earns to, obey, not people, but the uni verse, the moral law. The universe ipeaks through instinct, through pain, re norse. ooubt, desire, a thousand mental and physical reactions through which we are brought in contact with real life. If I leafn the lesson through actual con duct I shall be able to give others the 2 ,, p , , IU- MAKE MY WAT INTO THE MALL AND Nttte A SPEECH TO SHU THEN AU-! N Betties See Big Eight THE CHICAGO GIRL benefit of my experience. Hence it should be possible to aid the will in childhood to evolve Into obedience and usefulness. For the will, striving through all the experiences of life, is the power that eventually enables us to' attain. The dfficulty usually is. that our knowledge of the successive conditions does not pqual the . power that struggles and strives. As we have before - noted, the will makes its appearance as the central ac tivity in the stream of consciousness, in timately allied with, desire, receiving incentives from instinct, guided by the heart, and assuming progressive forms through our aspirations or ideals and the achievements of the Intellect. At ence a source of misery and of strength, the whole history of human character Is Involved in its actions and reactions. We are most likely to understand It by considering certain of its simple phases and then as we turn to its more complex life by taking care not to sep arate its contests and victories from the ( look our , V utv rAMP . up. dp m M a Speech to Make, but THE. BOSTON GIRL THE WESTERN GIRL THE SOUTHERN GIRL moral issues in which the heart of hu man experience is involved. In some people, for example, the prob lem of the will Is Inseparably allied with an exceedingly sensitive temperament. On the surface this appears to be - a question of weakness of will. Then there are those who are tempera mentally positive, hence of strong wllL The one appears to make too little of the will while the other makes too much. Tet self-assertion plays its part in both types. Then there Is the question of the obstinate will,, the problem of . freedom, and of moral regeneration. Looking first at the will on the side of its unrullness, we are constrained to acknowledge that, whether sensitive or strenuous, obstinate or weak, there is -in us all a fairly large element of Inertia bound up with this lump of clay. Most of us like' to be waited on, and If we can command the resources we are not only pleased that others should serve us, but we intend to command as long as Finished with an Awful NHT ARE IU6 HEW, UPON THIS DAT ?

The wits of physicians and ministers of all schools are taxd to the Utmost In the endeavor to arouse the selfish will. The problem of the arousing of the will is Indeed the problem of human life.

Many Men of , Voting Age A preliminary statement of the mala population 21 years of age and over dls-j tributed according to color, nativity and) parentage for each state as a total and! for each of Its cities of over 26,000 inhabit tants, as shown by the returns of thef thirteenth census, taken as of April 15,1 1910,- has just been taken by the Cenius Department of Commerce and Labor. TheJ statistics were prepared under the direct tlon of William C. Hunt, chief statistician! for population In the census bureau. Distinction is made in the statement b-j tween white males and native and foreign) birth, respectively, and also for the native white with respect to parentage. Those having both parents native of the United! States are classed as of native parentage ; those having either both parents bora abroad or one parent native and one par. ent born abroad are classed as of foreign or mixed parentage. Foreign-born white males who have been naturalised are also separately classified. The potential voting strength of eacbi state and city is expressed by the number of its males 21 years of age and over, ex-j eluding the foreign born who have not ben come naturalized, but by this is not meant! the actual number of voters. It repre-l sents, rather, the number of males who) from the standpoint of age alone are ell-J gible to vote, aside from any qualifies tlons based upon . education, length ofj residence or consideration of a like nature) Imposed by the natlorjl or state govern.) merit. There are In all 229 cities which had Its' 1910 more than 25,000 inhabitants, with an aggregate population of 28,543,818. ' These cities together contained in 1910 a total ofl (,004,422 males of voting age, or 31.S per) cent of their combined population. Foa continental United States as a whole? males of voting age numbered 26,909, 15li and constituted 29.4 per cent of the entire; population (91,972,2ft)) in 1910. Of the whole number of males of voting age In the 229 cities taken together, naj tlve whites of native parentage numbet) 2,900,244, or S2.2 per cent; native whites Ol foreign .or mixed parentage, 2,040,907,. o 22.7 per cent; foreign-born whites, natural ized. 1,667,795, or 17.8 per cent; foreign born whites, not naturalised, 1,830,816, qs. 21.4 per cent; negroes, 619,414, or 5.8 pet! cent : ' The equivalent numbers and percenU ages for continental United States as.flj whole are: Native whites of native par entage, 13,211,73, or 48.9 per cent; native! whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 4,4 498,966, or 16-7, per cent; foreign-borj whites, naturalized, 3,035,333, or 11-2 pe cent; foreign-born whites, not naturalized, 1.611.272, or 13.4 per cent; negroes, 2.450.327J or 9.1 per cent. ' !i The 9,004,422 males of voting age In the! cities of 25,000 or more inhabitants coih stltute almost one-third of the entire numj ber of males of voting age In the United State. In the case, however, of native! whites of native parentage the males 6l voting age in these cities constitute only 22 per cent of the total for the United States, while for native whites of foreign or mixed parentage the proportion Is 4S.I per cent, for naturalized foretgn-borq whites 61.S per cent and for forelgn-borrj whites not naturalized 63.6 per cent Fot negroes the percentage is ILL New York Times; , ' '',, !' -.
