"CAN YOU BE HAPPY"
This is a question asked by Dr. , Albert Wiggaxn, a noted psychiatrist, writing in "The New Idea," the threapenny weekly for Auutralian and New Zealand women. ' Here is his answer, also giveh in "The New Idea":. - "If uiodern psychology has discovered one thing that will probably never be overthrown, it is that the
mind and emotions cannot develop fully except by- active participation 5d tlie lives of. otljer people. Our con sciousness Ts not.an individual possession wholly ; it is a part of the social consciousness. For tliis reason unJess one becomes an active partner' in tlie. lives of bther people and becqmes ne-ces-sary to their- happiness, individual happiness'is impossible, because happiness comea only from "fulfilment of function," ahd it is only by this partefship
in the lives of others that the functions of the mind can be fulfilled and find ,expression. Dr. Wiggam's weekly pagc is a feature of l'The New Idea.",
