Excerpt from Know Your Own Mind: A Little Book of Practical Psychology MR H. G. Wells, in Mankind in the Making, says that only thoughts which can be expressed on the meanest commonplace will ever, under present conditions, reach the minds of the majority of the English-speaking peoples. If this be so, it is a bad look-out for the popularity of Psychology. Personally, I think Mr Wells too pessimistic and in the following pages I have tried to interest the man in the street - not the man at the street-corner - in the study of a subject vital to his welfare. I have, moreover, been encouraged in my project by the words of that eminent authority, William James, who tells us that the elements of the mental machine can be clearly apprehended, and their workings easily grasped.

Excerpt from Man, Woman, Know Thyself: Illustrated Treatise on Practical Psychology Know thyself: These words, generally speak ing, have little significance for the average being. The farmer knows all the peculiarities and fine points of his horses, cattle, sheep and swine; he goes into minute detail regarding their breeding and the care they require; the successful business man masters all the intricacies and requirements of his trade; the architect devotes great thought to the plans for the building to be constructed; the housewife acquires, eagerly, every bit of knowl edge conducive to the good government of her domain, but neither the farmer, business man, architect nor housewife takes sufficient interest in Self or endeavors to gain knowledge of that which should concern him most - his own body!

Excerpt from Practical Lessons in Psychology Within the past year the author has, at various institutes and other gatherings of teachers, delivered lectures on Psychology, chiefly on those phases that must and do come in for a large share of consideration on the part of every successful teacher. The speculative form which Psychology sometimes assumes found no place in those discussions, but only such features as are quite in touch with the ordinary experience of the average teacher in our common schools. The writer was surprised, and at the same time very much gratified, at the intense interest they evoked. At the solicitation of a large number of these same teachers, the lectures have accordingly been gathered together, and, with slight modifications and the advantage of much addi tional material, are now presented in book form.

Excerpt from Practical Psychology: A Course of Instruction on the Practical Application of the Law of Psychology Nd history, men have studied and observed, wondered and speculated, over the power and nature of the human mind or soul. It has been the subject of the most profound study and often of the wildest, and most absurd speculation. This study, being of man himself, the ego, spirit, or soul within him has necessarily touched on religion and, probably for that reason, been subjected to the bitterest opposition and been wholygmisunderstood by many of those applying the law but entirely wrong in their conception of its nature. What we now call psychology, and study as we would electricity or mathe matics without prejudice, fear or superstition in order to use it in the every day matters of life, in making busi ness transactions, in curing disease, or merely for amuse ment, was at one time called blackart and those using it, in their imperfect understanding of the law, were re garded as the servants of the devil using a diabolical power. It has been called witch-craft and in our own enlightened America, women have been burned at the stake for using but very little of the power explained in these instructions. In its various forms and uses it has been known as Cure by Holy Relics, Hypnotism, Mes merism, etc., etc. As a rule those using the power were as ignorant of its true origin, force and limitations as their enemies. In all its forms it has been doubted and feared. It has been the tool of fakirs, humbugs and Charlatans who abused what they understood of it as.

Excerpt from Psycho-Synthetic System, Vol. 2: A Treatise on Practical Psychology Why then do people forget things is asked. Permit me to correct you. People!
