Life is a series of adjustments to environments, and he who is most versatile in making adjustments is likely to be the first to climb the ladder to success.

He who has been deprived of some of his physical faculties has a greater task of adjustment to his environment than the …

Variation In Human Capacities, Flaucy Ives

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Individuals of the same age vary widely in every trait that has been measured or estimated. They differ in height, weight, character, taste, intellect, strength or in other words, in all things

Every human being is endowed with the same reflexes, instincts and capacities, each individual has powers of perception, discrimination attentiveness, retentiveness, reasoning etc., and as a result each has the same general qualitative make-up.

But as was said above individuals vary in every trait, "these differences are quantitative rather than qualitative".

Does it not seem logical then, to take up a brief history of the found and settlement of this town?

Religious Experience In The Light Of Current Psychology., Elwyn Judson Trueblood 1896-1963

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Psychology is receiving a new emphasis in the modern age. The subject of human consciousness, always fascinating, is now claiming our attention as never before. When we endeavor to link psychology with religion, the charm is greatly increased; for then we are dealing with two themes, rather than one, in which mankind has an abiding interest -- the human consciousness and the human soul. Thus, the psychology of religion has grown to be one of the most popular studies of our generation. Indeed, an eminent authority in this field ventures the opinion that the theoretical as well as the practical …
