A yout Personality Says Expert |

By DORIS LEEDHAM HOBBS:

I have just spent an extraordinar.

ily interesting hour’ with V. E. -L:

Goddard... of.’ Haliburton. Road, ‘in

_ which. he explained:some of the fine
--points of handwriting analysis.’

Mr. Goddard, who.has made a

' study of this for the past eight:years,

“is assisting W. A: Hamlett. in his

-hight school class at ‘Central junior

~ high scheol-on Wednesday evenings.

A further. class will be given from
January ‘o March next session.

Your handwriting can tell you the
most surprising things, _ including
how you. look: at life; whether you

- are an imaginative thinker or an
analytical one. It. will-.reveal the
depth: of your emotions,. your excit-

«| ability, whether you are in the right

nd points out your: mental traits.

Graphe-analysis is being extended

oo tnto almost every department: of life
and: is:put-to use-in dealing with: hu-
man nature by doctors, parsons, tea-

- chers, policemen, businessmen. and
‘heads of ‘office staffs and. by fathers
‘and mothers in P.T:A.’s, .

sonality’ is revealed in. the. infinite

variety of the letter shapes and let- |

ter’ combinations’. which he. makes.

It is interesting. to learn that, should:

‘knowledge ‘of ‘this science is- of in-
estimable. value. ° ‘Goddard is
‘convinced that if’ young people think’

analysis would’ point: out © qualities
and traits which would benefit both
partners. Probably 80 per cent’ of
our marriage. break-ups ‘ending in
divorce, could ‘be: remedied by this
knowledge.

The man in the street tends to
couple hand-writing analysis. with
the mysterious and the pseudo- sci-
entific.: This is far from the truth.
It is an old idea, this judging of a
character. by writing. Nero said of a
‘man’ ‘at ‘his court, ‘His writing
shows ‘him ‘tobe tr eacherous!””

The answer:

‘The survey, reports Dr. Helen C.
Abell, who is head-of the rural soci-
ology unit, listed 37 pieces of equip-
ment as considered ‘‘most useful’" by
the rural housewives.

An analysis showed that an elec-
tric or gas stove ranked next to the
washing: machine, and was closely
followed by a refrigerator. All three
were. in 85.to 98 per cent of:the farm
homes and. were the choice of three-
quarters of those surveyed.

Fourth piece of equipment consid-

ered most. useful“ was an automatic.

clothes drier. Although found in only
M1 percent of the homes included in
the study, the drier was named’ as
one of the most: useful-labor’ savers

Comments Dr. Abell:
