(Book review written especially
for The Statesman by Beatrice
Crawford-Newcomb) -The
.Inner Wtorld of Child
hood, by Frances O. - Wickei
(Appleton's) with an lntrodactlon
by Carl O. Jans. Switzerland, on
der whom Mrs. Wlckee has studied
and by - whom she was arced -to
write this book.
The mental and emotional life
of the child as revealed by snalyt
leal psychology Is here the subject
of-a moat Important and readable
stndr. In "The Inner World of
ChildhoodMrs. Wickee has writ
tea a book -.of special Interest to
parents, educators, and child spec
ialists. No one who deals1 with
children, no matter bow sym
pathetic he may be, can expect to
attain a complete understanding
of the child's Inner life without
the aid of such a volume as this.
Mrs. Wickes describes the Inner
world of a child's conscious ac
tivities and its relation to the es
tablishment of sound mental and
spiritual health.
Contrary to' Freudian analysis
Ir. Jung has become convinced
through bis laboratory work with
adult patients, that the funda
mental problem of a neurosis was
not to found In the disturbing
experiences that lay in the early
Ufa of the patient but was rather
concerned with the present, and
was shown in a failure to meet
some duty or task which life now
presented. The obstacle which
was considered too great might
lie in some outer circumstance,
or it. might arise from some inner
necessity. In either case there
was need for a new attitude to
ward life, for a different concep
tion of the. self and of human re
lationships. Failure to make the
new adaptation produced conflict,
and a desire for retreat, which re
sulted in a sense of defeat. To
overcome this the patient took
refuge In a more infantile form
of life, 'or in a neurotic illness
which furnished him with an ex
cuse which he could present; not
only to others but even to his own
unconscious, for his failure to ac
cept life. The real problem in the
analysis became: from what pres
ent duty Is the patient retreating?
It Is true that to understand a
neurosis it must be traced back
to its very beginning. It is not
enough to cut off the top of a
weed; the roots must be dug up.
Often a shock, either real or in
phantasy. U found to be the start
lng point of a neurosis. Never
theless, the crucial problem con
tinues to be the present attitude.
When we study children, no
matter how young, we see that
thls principle holds good also with
them. It Is when the task la too
hard that there is a tendency to
slip back into an easier way, a
more babyish adaptation. In ord
er to avoid the feelings of Infer
iority that this would give, the
problem is pushed down into the
unconscious, and much of the life
energy la withdrawn from use in
the conscious life and becomes
busy with regressive phantasies.
or finds expression in infantile
acta whose meaning Is not under
stood by the actor himself. In
the unconscious of each of us lies
izj- an Image of childhood as a pro
tected, carefree time, a - period
when life makes no difficult de
mands. This picture may be ab
solutely untrue in any individual
fm, yvi ii remains m me uncon
scions of each one of us and may
operate regressively.
- Two Kinds of Children
If a child falls to make,. his
adaptation to a new situation, he
may be seised 'With wild furies of
self-assertion. By these rages he
tries to obtain for himself the
thing which he cannot get in any
other way, and tries also to com
pensate for his sense of defeat
lie.. may make childish demands
upon, the mother, or cruelty to a
smaller child or animal, or a sick
ness used to command attention
Throughout the book Mrs
Wickes places emphasis upon the
understanding of the parents,
teachers, or others in charge of
children, to be used in solving
ineir proDiema ana stress Is laid
upon love properly used as a tre
mendous asset. When the child
feels back ' of the personal love
the- parents' adherence to the
higher guiding principle and the
desire to help him to be true to
that higher law. all the forces of
loyalty and truth are enlisted on
the-; side of obedience.
Dr. Jung has found that all
children can be placed in one of
'two classes: Extra verted or In
troverted. " The -former is the
child who finds his chief relation
ships In the outer world of things
and people. , and the latter one
whoso inner thoughts and phan
tasy life are the greater reality to
him: 1 ? f ' .--

problems of adolescence.. It Is

GREAT flDUANEEMENT
PREDICTED FOR 1920
Movement To Relate School
and College With Needs
-of Homa Hopeful
By Ji. W. Crabtree

WASHINGTON (AP) r By
studying the tendencies in educa
tion one can forecast the condi
tions ahead with the same degree
of accuracy that the weather bu
reau forecasts weather conditions.
An appreciation of this tact en
ables those who understand the
racial mind to stimulate and pro-
value. In 1117 and 1918 men and
women of vision In education, as
in business, seised upon this prin
ciple to accomplish - great ends.
There was the desire to not only
rehabilitate education but to place
It for all time on a better basis
than ever before. The work was
necessarily accomplished largely
through the National Education
association.
There is no way of knowing how
much the recent advancement is
due to the vision of those leaders
and to the work of the national as
sociation. A few of the striking
gains since 1918 are as follows:
Then l.COO.000 students in high
school and now 1.000.000; then
about 1.000 groups of teach
ers studying the problems of the
profession and now about 25,
000; and then 8.000 members in
the N. E. A. and now 180.000.
There is a growing tendency to
look upon education as guided
growth. The influence of this
point of view has already led to
Important changes fat method and
policy, and will produce results of
tremendous value on the schools
of tomorrow. The closer relation
ship between thweehools and the

work of the school and college
more closely with the wofk and
needs of the home and community
ia one of the most hopeful of ten
dencies. "It gives point and pur
pose to courses of study and puts
life into daily tasks. It Increases
school and college attendance.' It
adds buildings for the schools. It

With the backtnr of public senti
ment they will be more easily won
than were the earlier battles for
common schools at public expense,

next are to be battles for school

We are all "fed up" on crime

The following statement rela
tive to business i conditions In the
United States was made recently
by Earl C. Sams, president of J. C.
Penney company.
'General business during 1928
should continue along about the
same lines that it followed during
the year Just passed. It will be a
good year tor such business enter
prises as are properly adjusted' to
the general j economic conditions
of today. ;
"General commodity prices will
undoubtedly' be subject to the us
ual short swings! up or down de
pending upon local conditions and
upon the changing phases of In
dustrial and agricultural activi
ties governing Income and produc
tion.
Any general movement in com
modity prices should be downward
out there is no reason at the pres-
enttlme to believe that there will
be any marked lowering of prices.
The usual discussions which
characterise! any presidential elec
tion year will prevail but the ec
onomic structure of the country is
on such a well defined basis of ec
onomy and progression that It Is
unlikely that political differences
bearing on economic activities will
have any pronounced effect on
general business. Any differences
which may exist In relation to the
present economic standards on the
part of political parties are appar
ently too slight to be disturbing in
their import.
Competition in all lines is in
creasing and the effects of this
ipetltion; will be keenly felt
during the present year. The mar
gin of profit which may be antic

eral merchandise ' 1 s growing

EVOLUTION FIGHT
TO BE COmiUED
Science League Presents
Interesting Report of
Various Activities
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The
war between anti-evolutionist and
teacher of evolution, according to
an informal report of the Science
League of America,, Is likely to
continue in 1928.
The substance of a s u r v e y.
made public by Maynard Shipley,
president of the league, sets forth
that advocates of enti-erolutlon
bills, defeated in various legislt-
turea In 1927, plan to revive the
Issue this year.
The league also declares that
there Is an organised and well
financed effort to "purge" the pub
lic libraries of the country of
books and magazines regarded as
too tfoder n." The -crusade
against evolution, the Science- Lea
gue's report asserts, did not die
at Dayton, Tenn., scene of . the
Scodos trial, but got renewed in
spiration there.
The Science League of America
Is an organization of scientists.
consisting largely of university
professors and research workers.
George B. Coleman, research bac
teriologist of the Hooper Founds
Uon, University of California, Is
secretary-treasurer and Dr. David
Starr Jordan, chancellor emeri
tus of Stanford University, heads
Its national advisory board.
In the league's resume of actlv-j
Ities for and against evolution It
says in Its report that In Florida,
Arkansas and Louisiana antl-ev
olutlon bills passed the lower
house of the state legislatures, but
were killed in senate, in some
cases by a close vote. In Oklaho
ma, Alabama, Maine, West Vir-j
gin la. North Carolina and Missouri
the bills were defeated in the low
er house, but in the case of Mis
souri by a narrow majority. In
California, Delaware, New Hamp-I
shire, North Dakota, and Minne
sota the bills were killed In com
mittee.
In each case, says the report.
the advocates of the measures say
they will renew their effort at the
next session. In 1928, It is declar
ed, the opponents of the evolu
Uoaaryw theory witleenter their
attack on Arkansas through a in
ltlative measure which now has
9,000 names out of a necessary
12,800 necessary to quallyf an in
itiative petition.
The . only two states having
laws prohibiting the teaching of
evolution at present are Tennessee,
which passed the law in 1925, and
Mississippi, which passed a simi
lar law In 1928. w
The, report also deals with tea-!
ehers and professors dismissed, al
legedly for their views with re-j
ard to evolution and - other doc
trines" considered' by some as not
tn accord with religious teachings.
An instance, of this as cited by the
report Is Des Moines University,
wnere u is declared -20 or more
members pf the faculty ware die-
answer satisfactorily a question
missed because they could not,
nalre In which questions were
ed touching their views. ;i y j
The report continues: TroL W.
G. Burgin . was dismissed from
Wlnthrop collegeT South. Carolina,
because ef his anti-fundamentalist
views In scientific matters; and
in Brooklyn, Charles A. Wagner
was discharged as a high ' school
instructor because he taught evo
lution In bis geography classes.'

Editor Statesman :
It occurs to me that your r
era will be Interested In tbe-Yu
lowing' historical events as con
nected with the W. C. T. U., of i
Salem, as It was organized so Ions
ago. when Salem was young, and j
has kept np the organization con
tinually since, until at the present
time an incorporated institution. t:
and occupying Its own building in J
Dusy portion or me city, tneSat
W, C T U. is now as it ever has J
been a strong force In the city
when we reckon up the organiza
tions' for righteousness and so
briety.
The first day of February, 1882.
a little, band of women met to or
ganize the "Woman's Christian
Temperance Union of Salem."
(Let me note here that the State
W. C. T. U. had not yet been or
ganized).; We find from the rec
ords that are carefully preserved
"The object of this organization
shall be to : plan and . carry fur-
ward measures which, with th
blessing of God, will result In the 1,
suppression of ; intemperance."
Thns it was at the beginning of I
what these women knew would bo ' t
a nara ana a long ngnt, xney in
voked the help and the blessing r
Almighty God upon the cause, and
lie' Surely strengthened the hand
of " these brave women, and not
only those who came together at
that time, but down through the
years since: All they who, lifting
up the mantle of some sister, who XjF
heard the higher call, have placed
aced If
this garment of service upon
shoulders and Invoked the bl
lng of her Heavenly Father upon
tier efforts. We here give the
"pledge" as we find they took it
at that far away in the past meet
ing: "We the temperance women
of Salem, feeling that-the use of
Intoxicating liquors has reached a
point no. longer silently to be en
dured, do, ! by the help of God.
promise to use our utmost en
deavors to banish the evil from
smong us. We hereby pledge our
selyes to discourage the use of
anything" which" can Intoxicate,,
and, in order to strengthen our in
fluence In this regard, we promise
not to use any intoxicating liquors
as a beverage, nor In cookies, and
not to furnish them for social en
tertainment." ''r:-:;:
f'Gentlemea may be admitted to
honoray membership by signing
a corresponding pledge and payr
msnt of enet dollar t or a vr?'
(The' dues ot women tfimbers
w first 50 cents, but "iatet raised
to annually.);-;
At "this- meeting twelve women
signed , the pledge, and thus was "tl
sUrted a force that the liquor in- JT
tereata.hare ever feared, for they
found that the numbers sometimes
were few, but God was the leader
and the. purpose. was a high one.
