JOHN A. SCHINDLER There is probably no more emotionally induced illness today, or any greater amount of emotional stress, than there was in days gone by. The world has always been full of it. People in bygone days didn't meet the ups-and-downs of living with any less emotional stress than people do today. And although we of the mid-20th Century have such stresses today as the world Victoria Hermiz Near Collapse, Maurice Hamilton Stunned by Verdict political situation, practically every age had its world situations and its wars in some ages much more constantly than we have had.

There are only a very few people who even approximate full maturity simply because there is no organized educational effort to make us mature. It is left to chance.

A necessary step in growing up Is the development of the ability to assume responsibility independently of father, mother, and other protective agencies. Long years of childhood, especially in families where protective concern is carried to an extreme, develop the tendency to keep depending on someone else. Those who grow up with a dependent attitude sooner or later have a hard time. A characteristically childhood attitude is to want to receive, to be given desired things. In this immaturity, the person does things with the attitude, "What is this going to get me?" This is a springboard into mean, crabby emotions.

AS THEY GET OLDER they no longer receive as they did when they were children, although they still think in terms of what they can get. They are in a dead-end alley that leads to intense desire, and finally to intense frustration. Maturity brings with it a rich concern: How to make the living of others more enjoyable. With this concern, horizons, vision and sympathy broaden. Maturity means leaving egotism and competitiveness behind.

The childish attitude is, "I've got something yon haven't got," or "I can do something you can't do," or "My father can lick your father." There are many people who never lose this childish constellation of egotism and competitiveness. The person who constantly compares himself (in Jealous competition) with everyone else is destined to be a miserable human being. He constantly generates envy, hurt pride and hostility in himself and in others. Competition All Right To a Point Competition, to a degree, has its place in living. But when it becomes too strong and all-pervasive, it defeats its own purpose.

It produces anxiety, strain, stress and remorse and effectively precludes enjoyment even in those who are successful. There are some who regard hostile aggressiveness anger, hate, cruelty and belligerency as strength. Quite the opposite is true. These are childish arrests, gross forms of immaturity, signs of weakness, evidences of fear and frustration. It is characteristic of a child to accept a fancy as a fact, and not to try to differentiate between them.

A child can afford to do this almost without limit because there is usually no practical disadvantage or advantage, in doing otherwise. However, if the child grows into responsible adulthood and still cannot distinguish between fancy and fact, the results are a terrific amount of trouble that means misery and wrong emotions. A PERSON WHO DOES NOT learn to bend, unbroken, before a wind and to adapt himself readily to changing conditions, cannot possibly be happy in a world where disaster can fall at any time with great rapidity and where the things we hold valuable one day entirely cease to exist the next. Flexibility and adaptability are probably the most valuable kinds of maturity to possess. People have emotional stress and emotionally induced illness not because of overwhelming amounts of trouble, but because they haven't learned to handle the ordinary amount of trouble which is the rule of everyone's living.

The ability to handle the various phases of ordinary human life in an effective way, that is to say, in a way that produces a maximum amount of enjoyment and a minimum amount of stress, is what is known as maturity.

We, in the United States, probably have less emotional stress today than any people ever before in the history of the world. That isn't the way you usually hear it. We pay more attention to the stress people are under because we are beginning to learn about its importance. We are going to be able to reduce the people's emotional stress in the future just as wo have reduced contagious disease. We are just beginning to learn how.

The most surprising thing about people who hav En is that usually they do not have a great amount of trouble. You'd think they would, wouldn't you? Family a Flop In Educational Role So many of us today, as well as almost everyone in the past, have lacked emotional stasis because man leaves to chance a quality that must be learned. (Emotional stasis is the ability to maintain equanimity, resignation, courage, determination and cheerfulness when a situ- sstion might lead an immature person to apprehension, fear, anxiety or frustration.) The only way a person can develop emotional stasis is through the right kind of education. But the right kind of education does not exist. A person's total education, of course, includes much, much more than what he learns in the schools he attends.

Our most important educational influence is the family we are brought up in. And there are many, many families whose effect on their children Is a terrible and ruinous one. Most families develop strong emotional stress. There are many exceptions, certainly, but by and large, our families are educational flops of the first water. The second most important educational factor each of us has is the people who live within Our circle, those with whom we play, talk, visit, work, fight, love.

The circle includes authors who enter our private worlds through their books, even though they may be dead. IF WE ARE LUCKY, some strong enlightened individual enters our circle and influences us in the development of a healthy attitude or two. Our schools are our third most Important educational influence. The schools do not even pretend. to do anything about emotional stasis.

I think they will before long. The same educational influences which make for emotional stasis also make for the thing we call "maturity."
