PERSONALITY complexes
Trying to figure out what other
people are really like is one of
the most difficult jobs of the hu
man mind. Most of us think we
are fairly good psychologists and
thus make snap judgments about
the character, intelligence and
personality of people with whom
we come in contact—but every
ne of us knows of cases where
oar judgment has later proved
vC be entirely wrong.
In our normal scoring of per
sonality,. perhaps the greatest pro
portion of errors are mdde in
mistaking an inferiority complex
for conceit, or vice versa. An out-
epoken person, who seems to car
ry his personality on the tip- of
his tongue, is often pouring out
words which may not come close
to reflecting his true thoughts or
his real nature. We may get the
idea that he has an exceptionally
fine opinion of himself because
of his great desire to talk on all
subjects, whereas this insistence
on self-expression may actually
be a frantic defense against a
feeling of inferiority.
In the same' way, the quiet
man who is often accused of
conceit because of his apparent
unwillingness to enter into con
versation, is often writhing with
discomfort over his inability tc
translate his thoughts into words
DISLIKES? .... crust
All of u^ build outward screens
to hide what we consider the
weaknesses in our make-up. Just
as a man who suffers from some
physical affliction is apt to draw
attention from it by performing
unusual physical feats, it is hu
man nature to cover up our men
tal and moral handicaps.
We often hear of a blind man
who becomes an accomplished
pianist, a lame man who is an
expert swimmer, a small man
who makes up for his size by
developing bulging muscles and
a homely girl who attracts at
tention to herself with beautiful
clothes.
But when it comes to person
ality it is much more \ difficult
for the observer to distinguish

true characteristics from window
dressing. We can become very
close friends to some people be
fore we get a real insight into
their real nature—and there are
countless cases in the lives of all
of us where we harbor dislikes
for certain acquaintances whom
we would truly enjoy if we had
waited to form an opinion until
we had really fathomed through
the crust behind which their true
personality lies.
Even among members of the
same family there are definite
blind spots which often make it
impossible for a man to really

NATIONS . misunderstood
This same lack of understand
ing which exists between friends
and families, is even more ac
cented in the relations existing
between groups of people such as
the populace of different nations.
If the personality of a nation
could be psycho-analyzed like the
personality of a man or woman,
we would often find that our
likes and dislikes for nations are
founded on false outward im
pressions.
We think of the present C
mans as a brutal, coarse, debn ^d
people, which they have demon
strated themselvse to be in U is
war, but actually their de: i-
stration of those * character i?s
in this war may be the “f t”

ened and distraught people.
We think of the Japs as ero is-
tical people who brag about iheir
race superiority, but actually aey
are probably trying to hidi a
deep feeling of inferiority cr ?sed
by the subnormal physical stohure
of their race and their inability
to keep up with the progress of
other nations.

are going to avoid future wars,

The Farm Shop
More Important
In Wartime
Clemson, June 5. — Successful'
farmers recognize the importance
of keeping their machinery and
equipment in good repair, says
C. V. Phagan, agricultural engi
neer of the Clemson Extension
Service, pointing out that it is
more important in wartime than
ever to keep the machinery that
is available in good working con
dition.
The best place to make the
needed repairs is in the frr rr
shop where a few good tools r.rc
kept for ready use at any t>:.i-\
Mr. Phagan continues. To i : c
information and suggestions mi

equipment needed, Mr n Pharan

cular 227, The Farm Shop, Took
and Equipment. The circular

ment of a farm shop with

and metal working tools and t
convenient storage of such eqii
ment.
