Excerpt from Increasing Your Mental Efficiency The care of the mind involves development, education, and training. The terms are by no means synonymous. A highly developed mind, for example, is not always a well-balanced one. If not, it offers proof that too many years and too much energy have been devoted to mental develop ment at the expense of proper training in correct introspective judgment. That the number of badly balanced persons is increasing is shown by hospital records. It is an open secret that insanity is steadily making head way - increasing at a rate out of proportion to the growth of our population. And this at a time when Education is the watchword of every com munity, and when illiteracy is steadily decreasing in all portions of the civilized world.
