A great furore is being created in the
automotive world these days. People
arc ail agog about a new low-priced
six that offers every desirable big car
quality. It is the New Pontiac Big Six . . . Since
the Pontiac Big Six went on display, men and
women of every type have been coming to see
and drive it. But most of the buyers belong to
one particular group. They have taste. They
love fine things. They want to step up the
quality of their automobiles—and the New
Pontiac appeals to them—for it’s big in every
way except in price!

(By Mrs. Raymond Rogers.)
“Personality is the key to real hap-
piness.” So Bays Mrs. Grace E. Gunn,
pioneer in personality development
for women, and for twenty years pres-
ident of Women’s Speaking Club of
America.
There is no career, no venture
j where personality does not count she
j declares. Whether in office or club,
hospital or home, theater or church,
school room or shop, laboratory or
factory, always an attractive person-
ality is the prime requisite of achieve-
ment.
if the high road to happiness is pav-
ed with personality, should we not as
parents and teachers seriously con-
sider this matter and the importance
of developing the right kind of per-
sonality in children, it is my convic-
tion that along whatever path of en-
deavor one may be striving, the gold-
en key which unlocks the door to op-
portunity and success is personality.
What then is this great thing per-
sonality which everyone admires and
everyone desires? Too many people
still have a vague idea in regard to
what it is.
If you will consult your dictionary
you will find that the word impllies
a complex being or character of dis-
tinctive and persistent traits such as
reason, self-consciousness and self-
activity. You may not be satisfied
with this definition.
You know there are people whom
tried to put the guilt on another girl
A little later she was discovered ran-
sacking the drawer of a teacher’s
de'sk. When brought to account for
these msideeds, Mary gave various
reasons for her behavior, none of
which had any basis in fact. Th<
mother completed the picture with
the story f having found a number of
things in Mary’s school hag and cloth
ing from time to time.
The school counselor and a note
psychologist began studying the can*
To them the task was given to Inter
pret and correct this particular hi
of behavior. Except for its inconven
ience to society, the stealing is nc
moree important than any other symi
tom as an expression of personality
This antisocial form of adaptation
might be altered only to give place to
a substitute expression perhaps no
more desirable from the viewpoint ol
the individual’s welfare, while the
fundamental difficulty, the organiza-
tion of the personality itself, remain-
ed untouched.
Let us first get a picture of Mary
and her family us the school counsel-
or saw them:
Mary’s home background was de
cldedly above average as middle class
homes go. The father was a skilled
mechanic who worked steadily, earn
ed a fair living, was faith to his wife,
and was really fond of his family
He was a young man. healthy, good
looking, easy going, and with few bad
I habits. He had little responsibility
of the family, as the training and dis-
cipline was left almost entirely to the
mother. His one weakness hail been
for gambling and taking chances.
The mother was a dignified, fresh-
faced, young woman with a frank,
open attitude which disarmed criti-
cism. She was intelligent and con-
scientious, and devoted herself earn-
estly to the caro of u family of five
children, of whom Mary was the old-
est. Site was overworked, ami was
worn out with lier futile efforts to re-
form Mary. She had used every form
of correction—reasoning, scolding
shaming, whipping. She had even
spoken of putting her away and paint-
ed her fate in the next world. Much
of this she realized was unwise, but
she felt the honor of the family to he
combined inward and outward char- at stake.

you like. There are others whom you
do not like. There are people whom
you gladly welcome Into your social
circle: there are others whom you
you endure rather than approve. You
know there are those who carry good
cheer and happiness into your life;
there are others who carry gloom.
You have friends whom you like and
truly enjoy; you ave associates whom
you tolerate, Just what it is that
make this distinction between indi-
viduals? Is it not the personality
that these people possess?
The word “personality" comes from
the Greed “persona," the mask worn
by factors and through which their
voice gave a sound. Later the word
•person" came to mean not the outer
guise, but the individual self with its
thoughts, emotions, impulses. The
