The Flower Show
(Hortense 0. miller)
Chrysanthemum, to the Greek,,
means golden flower, to Michigan
students, it means wearing the colors.
An exhibit of 840 square feet of chrys-
anthemuis will be the University's of-
efring at the State Flower Show to be
held in Barbour Gymnasium this week.
The display will include all varieties
and colors; the huge yellow pompoms
of football seasons, shaggy maroon
ones that must be very distant cousins,
pKim white discs suggestive of their,
Japanese ancestry, big ones, baby,
ones, lavender, pink, and bronze ones
all of the same family. ,
The original Japanese chrysanthe-
mums were little bigger than cherries.
It was as long ago as 1862 that a man
by the name of Robert Fortune intro-
duced the . first irregular fantastic
plant from which all of these wonder-
I ful varieties which will be shown in
the University booths must have had
their inception. Many tp be shown
have never been exhibited before ex-
cept in Washington.
Both flowering and foliage plants
of all kinds will be sent to Ann Arbor'
for the show from all over the state.j
One hundred perfect American 3eaut-
ies will represent Chicago. The Dale
Estate of Brampton, Ontario, will be
the envy, of more than one spectator
who has -seen orchids only as wonder-
ful individual flowers. They are
bringing an entire collection! Prim-
roses, cyclamen, begonias and otherI
seasonable flowers will be present.
There will be two exhibitions from
Detroit.
The first night of the show a new
will be in keeping with the fact that it
has been grown in our state by a
AMichigan. resident.
The University of Michigan League
is working in cooperation with the
Michigan State Florists Association to
make the show a success from every
standpoint. A Dutch tea room will be
open both days in connection with the
exhibits. Cut flowers will be sold by
girls in fancy costume.
For those who desire something dif-
ferent, for fastidious souls sick of the
rafters of the Armory or the correct
grey of the Union what could be more
of a relief than a dance in Barbour
gym among the flowers? Such a dance
will be held both evenings.
' A volume of poems by Herbert S.
Gorman, entitled "The Barcarole of
James Smith;" is being published by
the Putnams. The book contains about
fifty poems.

The
Work of the Psycholo
(Saul Carson)
I believe that I am perfectly safe
in asserting that there is more mis-
Some F
understanding and a greater lack of comparative psychology by
knowledge prevalent about psycholo- the leading men of this
gy than about any other of the scien- "Comparative Psychology,"
ces taught in the University. The term implies, concerns its
average student, unless he specializes! studying the behavior of ani
in one of them, will seldom presume of humans when controlled
to talk about any of the natural sci- imilr diti
Lim
ences. He knows his ignorance of
those subjects and, therefore, leaves!
them out of the scope of his conversa-
tion. .But,' for some-reason, that same
student will not hesitate to mention
the term "psychology" at any and allE
times. He does- it with the air of
knowing all about the subject, andj
succeeds only 'in displaying his total
tnacquaintance- with it.
Ask that same student what the 1
meaning of psychology is, what it
aims to do as science, what and where
lies its subject matter. The answer
will invariably astound you-provid'
ing you know enough of psychology to
discriminate between what is right
and what is misleading i in connection
with that science.
I asked a number of students chos-
en at random from among my class-
mates what they think psychology is.
The replies I received bordered on
the ridiculous, in the greatest num-
ber of cases. One junior who is an
ardent reader of the Sunday supple-
ment. tha a certain Detroit newspaper
wishes upon its readers, knew all
about the subject. "Psychology," he
maintained, "is the science that deals
with character analysis." Finding out,
just what men are most fitted to do,;
and placing them in the positions they
can fill most effectively to themselves
and to society, is the work of the psy-
chologist-according to this student.
He smiled politely, in the -way peo-
ple are wont to do when they don't
believe you but are too well trained
to tell you so, when I told him that
he was entirely wrong. When I told
him that, whereas psychology might
sometime reach the stage where Ait
can do accurately this so-called
"character analysis," it has not yetI

father-the Sunday Supplement of the
"Detroit Evening Wheeze." And he
reached a maximum of incredulous-
ness when I informed him that any
man who really could make that sort
of character analysis would command
a salary greater than the amount re-
ceived (in the American Magazine and
other advertising media) by a certain
little wizard at Schenectady.
And, speaking of advertising recalls

lieves the sole aim of psychology to
be the conduct of intelligence tests
in the army, in colleges, and in other
places where man's desire for gregar-
iousness causes him to congregate.
As a matter of fact, the quack pro-
fession of character 'analysis stands
in about the same relationship to psy-
chology, as the pseudo-scientific chi-
ropractic bears to medicine. Advertis-
ing and mental measurement, on the
other hand, are dependent upon psy-
chology. But they, , by no means,
constitute all there is to. psychology.

psychology. I shall restrict myself,-
then, merely .to presenting some as-
pects of what psychology attempts to
do, with the hope of dispelling somei
of the myths generally entertained in
regard to this science.
