Show PERFECTION NOT OFTEN SEEN Assertion Made That Not One Person in Ten Thousand Is Absolutely Abso-lutely Sane. Terfect health of mind and body are both exceedingly rare. Not one "civilized" "civi-lized" person out of ten thousand is perfectly healthy. Not one civilized person out of ten thousand is perfectly sane. That is to say, absolutely levelheaded level-headed in all respects, not attaching undue importance to his own hobby, and with no prejudices against new ideas, able to appreciate the other side of the question and to change his ideas when he is convinced that he is wrong. Sanity lias been defined as "the ability abil-ity to accommodate oneself to one's environment." Not a bad definition. Those who decry the manners and customs of other races or people, merely because they are different from their own are not entirely sane. Los Angeles Times. |
