Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there is any virtue in advertisements—and a journalist should be the last person to say that there is not—the American nation is rapidly reaching a state of physical efficiency of which the world has probably not seen the like since Sparta. In all the American newspapers and all the American monthlies are innumerable illustrated announcements of "physical-culture specialists," who guarantee to make all the organs of the body perform their duties with the mighty precision of a 60 h.p. motor-car that never breaks down. I saw a book the other day written by one of these specialists, to show how perfect health could be attained by devoting a quarter of an hour a day to certain exercises. The advertisements multiply and increase in size. They cost a great deal of money. Therefore they must bring in a great deal of business. Therefore vast numbers of people must be worried about the non-efficiency of their bodies, and on the way to achieve efficiency. In our more modest British fashion, we have the same phenomenon in England. And it is growing. Our muscles are growing also. Surprise a man in his bedroom of a morning, and you will find him lying on his back on the floor, or standing on his head, or whirling clubs, in pursuit of physical efficiency. I remember that once I "went in" for physical efficiency myself. I, too, lay on the floor, my delicate epidermis separated from the carpet by only the thinnest of garments, and I contorted myself according to the fifteen diagrams of a large chart (believed to be the magna charta of physical efficiency) daily after shaving. In three weeks my collars would not meet round my prize-fighter's neck; my hosier reaped immense profits, and I came to the conclusion that I had carried physical efficiency quite far enough......

Book excerpt: The correspondence which I have received in answer to my appeal shows that at any rate I didnot overstate the case. There is, among a vast mass of reflecting people in this country, a clearconsciousness of being mentally less than efficient, and a strong (though ineffective) desire that suchmental inefficiency should cease to be. The desire is stronger than I had imagined, but it does notseem to have led to much hitherto. And that "course of treatment for the mind," by means of whichwe are to "realize some of the ambitions which all of us cherish in regard to the utilization in ourspare time of the magnificent machine which we allow to rust within our craniums"-thatdesiderated course of treatment has not apparently been devised by anybody. The Sandow of thebrain has not yet loomed up above the horizon. On the other hand, there appears to be a generalexpectancy that I personally am going to play the rôle of the Sandow of the brain. Vain thought!I have been very much interested in the letters, some of which, as a statement of the matter inquestion, are admirable. It is perhaps not surprising that the best of them come from women-for(genius apart) woman is usually more touchingly lyrical than man in the yearning for the ideal. Themost enthusiastic of all the letters I have received, however, is from a gentleman whose notion isthat we should be hypnotised into mental efficiency. After advocating the establishment of "aninstitution of practical psychology from whence there can be graduated fit and proper people whoseefforts would be in the direction of the subconscious mental mechanism of the child or even theadult," this hypnotist proceeds: "Between the academician, whose specialty is an inconsequentialcobweb, the medical man who has got it into his head that he is the logical foster-father forpsychonomical matters, and the blatant 'professor' who deals with monkey tricks on a fewsomnambules on the music-hall stage, you are allowing to go unrecognized one of the most potentfactors of mental development." Am I? I have not the least idea what this gentleman means, but Ican assure him that he is wrong. I can make more sense out of the remarks of anothercorrespondent who, utterly despising the things of the mind, compares a certain class of young mento "a halfpenny bloater with the roe out," and asserts that he himself "got out of the groove" by dintof having to unload ten tons of coal in three hours and a half every day during several years. This isinteresting and it is constructive, but it is just a little beside the point.

Book excerpt: Mental Efficiency And Other Hints to Men and Women by Arnold Bennett Excerpt he above lines from Matthew Arnold are quoted by one of my very numerous correspondents to support a certain optimism in this matter of a systematic attempt to improve the mind. They form part of a beautiful and inspiring poem, but I gravely fear that they run counter to the vast mass of earthly experience. More often than not I have found that a task willed in some hour of insight can not be fulfilled through hours of gloom. No, no, and no! To will is easy: it needs but the momentary bright contagion of a stronger spirit than one's own. To fulfil, morning after morning, or evening after evening, through months and years--this is the very dickens, and there is not one of my readers that will not agree with me.
