OPINIONS OF BRITISH DOCTOR.
COMPARISON WITH LATINS.
By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Received This Day, 10 a.m.) LONDON, January 27.
“Australian and New Zealand soldiers in the Great War were excellent examples of the perceptual type to the nth degree,” writes Dr Hugh Crichton Miller, in an article on war time neurosis in the “British Medical Journal.” He adds: “They were not appalled by the prospects of pain and suffering and were extremely valuable men in the army. On the contrary, the conceptual type was illustrated by the Latins, who tended to collapse more quickly owing to their capacity for imagining what had not yet happened. The great lesson to be learned is careful pre-selection of those sent to the danger zone.”
