COPELAND, M. D. Umt4 States legator from New York . g: Fmrmtr Cmtttaioar Health, Veto York City. I we sptvk of the first week day as "Blue Monday." h 11 . ... . - ' w w we say t tnc contrary, most or as really like sw work. We pretend to hate work and mutter hnnt It W pn really we are miserable without. Even a glori ously happy bridegroom longs for the office. Sunday is a "day of rest." Theoretically ft is a day of rest. In reality it is anything bat that For many it ia day of riotous living, of overeating, of exercise generally. No wonder Monday ia inch an off day! But there are plenty of persons' who practice on Sunday exactly what are supposed to be the rales for the Sabbath. Yet lots of them suffer the discomforts of "Blue Monday." Why is it? I want you to think it over and write me how you usually feel on Monday and the ex cuses you have for your weekly symptoms. It is say intention to analyze these letters and see what the popular explanation really ia for "Blue Monday." The trouble with many of us is that we take no exercise during the week, leaving to Sunday Consequently we overdo and are Lay Sejnmoms THB MAINSPRING OP MORAL ITY "TUt thy (mUmi tkoeli as W mm f nsetssiry, bet ! fr wUL" PHt emon t. 14. What ia th maiasprlns; of man's conduct? Is there some moral monitor seated within him to caution or command? Ia there a conscience or ia our control tho resultant of Inherited or at quired forces and inhibitions? The old teaching of religtoa, finds a competitor in tho new psychology in the complex prob lem of analysing the sources of moral restraint. And the newer science passes off into many grad uations of pseudo-science whose rational basis is denied by those who cleave-to older opinions. Be havloristie psychology challenges the old notions of morality. The ease of a fifteen-year old boy now confessed guilty of hom icide projects these questions into our thinking. Above the average in intelligence, not a bad boy, but well-mannered, obedient, not In trouble before, respected by teach ers and schoolmates, of a sudden with no provocation, with no emo tional storm to unleash his moral terdons.-he becomes a nnrderer. His problem becomes first of all one of psychology. It presents ! a case- stndy which may bo ot real valu m tb solution ot the baf fling questions ot the control of conduct. The ponderous machinery ot police and courts and penal insti tutions: th elaborate- structure of creeds and prohibitions and com mandments; they prompt the goodness "of necessity." Paul with characteristic insight into man's well-being, prayed for that goodness which might be "of free will." With all oar new information brought to ns by psychological re search, we yet do not know the secret of "goodness." We may an alyze the elements of character, bnt we eannot analyze the play and movement of those elements which give specific results in spe cific incidents. Religion has sought "to bind," to restrain, and to hold down the tendencies to wrong-doing. In its better teach ing It seeks also to stimulate tho goodness that is spontaneous and voluntary. It must to farther, along with the other agencies for Instruction in character-building, it must teach moral control that is continuous and abiding, that cam resist both passing impulse and deep emotional strain. Educators, psychologists, relig ious leaders, peace officers, pris on wardens have a common task in studying the problems of hu man conduct, particularly to build up both the individual eontrol and the social customs which make goodness not "as of necesity, but of free wIlL" Roberts ROBERTS, .
