We Study Life
A FEW years from now Thomas Mendoza's skull may be found occupying a post of honor outside some head-hunting chieftain's hut somewhere in the Philippines. If I learn of it, I shall take steps to inscribe his name on the roll of martyrs to psychology. I shall grieve at the too early end of a promising young life, but I shall not be greatly surprised. Thomas is confidentpathetically so, it seems to me that when he returns to his native isles, he will make a brilliant success and render a valuable service educating and managing the wild Moros and Igorrotes according to the principles we worked out together in Psychology i04. My blessing goes with him. I hope for the best, but I disclaim any responsibility for his safety. For some four or five times now I have studied with my students what the science of psychology has to say about the most interesting problems of human life. In our catalogue the course is advertised as follows: 104. Development of Personality.' Infancy, childhood, adolescence, sex, marriage and the family, maturity, senescence, typical conflicts and disorders at each stage of development.
